Rand Paul just implied President Obama is a "neocon"





He said their ideas align with his.

If that's the case why did he align himself with the neocons by joining the forty six other Republican senators and informing the Iranian leaders they or a future administration, presumably a Republican one, have the right to nix any agreement he enters into?


I will say he's an exceptionally good prevaricator, scary...

I watched his interview with Wolf with rapt attention and I still don't know where he stands...

He also was ambiguous on how he felt about the North Charleston shooting...

In the interest of candor when it comes to abortion there was no ambiguity...He is unabashedly anti-choice...

Great prevaricator though, scary!!!

There were a myriad of ways to address it without suggesting the neocons are aligned with President Obama.

IT DOES NOT MATTER that he says these completely outrageous things, no one in the media will call him on it. People will hear snippets without knowing anything else, and think he's a great dude.

Seriously, that's where we are with the mockery of democracy that is our political system.
