Rand Paul yesterday: "You know what? We are tired of war. We’re worried that Hillary Clinton will get us involved in another Middle Easter war’
Rand Paul today : "I would seek congressional authorization to destroy ISIS militarily."
If that's not a flip-flopping hypocrite, then I don't know who is.
Next time read the previous posts. He said he wouldn't take it off the table when first asked about it. Then recently asked on what reasons he'd go after them. Only if our borders were threatened. AND he'd seek congressional approval. They've been threatened.
Your post didn't have all the facts.
Plus you're comparing Benghazi gun running with a terrorist organization that said they are coming after us.
Destroying a group of freaks who want to take over the world and make everyone living under sharia law while beheading Americans to get their message across is different than Drone striking weddings.

Hilary is a hawk though. Lol at the people who still think she's a liberal
Paul's recent comments put him in the same boat with her, and pretty much everyone else for that matter, since everyone seem to support taking out ISIS.

What a silly comment. Rand has stated only using force when threatened. Unlike the others he doesn't believe in nation building.
Take out a dictator the situation gets worse as there is a power vacuum. It's happened time and time again as the radicals fight to get power since no one is in power to keep them in check. Same thing happened when we took out Saddam.
This will be his biggest problem and might be the reason he may have trouble getting the nomination: His isolationist attitude is hard for many other than his strongest supporters to accept. I am not a hawk, by any means but I am have trouble with isolationism. I know his supporters say he isn't an isolationist, I disagree.
That isolationist attitude as you call it, is no longer being seen that way by MANY people.
He is not against having a strong military.
"I look at the world, and consider war, realistically and constitutionally.
I still see war as the last resort." Rand Paul
Like Father, like son - in this case....
And, I don't know many (if they were honest) at this point in time, that can say Ron Paul was wrong
about the ramifications of our present/past foreign policy.
You didn't post any facts, you added 1 and 1 and got 3.
"The sun rises in the east and someone dies that day. If only the sun rose in the west." Describes the thought process in some of your posts.
