Rand Paul would be a convenient excuse for war hawks and NSA junkies if the Patriot Act is not renewed and we’re attacked. He was correct to call his opponents out on it.

Paul said that would be like blaming the Boston police commissioner for the Boston bombings.

RAND PAUL: People here in town think I’m making a huge mistake. Some of them, I think, secretly want there to be an attack on the United States so they can blame it on me. One of the people in the media the other day came up to me and said, “oh, when there’s a great attack aren’t you going to feel guilty that you caused this great attack?” It’s like the people who attack us are responsible for attacks on us.

Do we blame the police chief for the attack of the Boston bombers? The thing is that there can be attacks even if we use the Constitution, but there have been attacks while collecting your bulk data. So the ones who say when an attack occurs it’s going to be all your fault, are any of them willing to accept the blame? We have bulk collection now, are any of them willing to accept the blame for the Boston bombing, for the recent shooting in Garland? No, but they’ll be the first to point fingers and say, “oh, yeah it’s all your fault, we never should have given up on this great program.”

      I can’t imagine any scenario under which I would vote for Sen. Paul.

      Having said that, if for some reason the stars align and dictate that we absolutely must have a Republican President in 2017, I think he would be the best of the bunch.

      yes, that is damning with faint praise…

        I agree, the plagiarist is their best choice and that’s not saying much.

        Your hemlock awaits …for such a thought….

      In other words…”I didn’t do this because it was the right thing to do, I did it because I could schlep others for more money”.

    Funny how tides turn. His opponents? He means his party leaders right? They have been wanting another attack for years so they could blame it on Obama.

    He’s got a good read on McConnell.

    One of the people in the media the other day came up to me and
    said, “oh, when there’s a great attack aren’t you going to feel guilty
    that you caused this great attack?” It’s like the people who attack us
    are responsible for attacks on us.

    You mean elected leaders want there to be a major terrorist attack on U.S. soil so they can blame a specific person? Never happen.

    seems like some of your fine upstanding politicians would prefer war to the presence of a libertarian – scares the shit out of the rest of the world –

    Sort of like an evil gopee karma ….he is right…

    this is one time I can agree with Rand Paul.

    The first sensible words I have ever heard from him, but they will not undo other statements that are blatantly inane.

    Randy Paul almost succeeds in making Sarah Palin seem literate.
