He has a very valid point!

Sen. Rand Paul blasts GOP colleagues, says they should 'apologize' to Obama for past spending complaints

Congressional Republicans should apologize to former President Barack Obama "for complaining that he was spending and borrowing too much," Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told "Your World" Wednesday.

"It's funny that people say, 'Well, Washington Republicans and Democrats never compromise and can't get along.' That's actually the opposite of the truth," Paul told host Neil Cavuto. "Republicans and Democrats compromise every day of the year to spend money we don't have.

"So we were already running a trillion dollars short just with our normal budgetary expenses for the year," the senator went on. "We added three trillion [with the CARES Act]. Now they're talking about another one to two trillion. We're going to borrow $5 trillion in five months. I remember when conservatives complained about George W. Bush borrowing $5 trillion in eight years ... [Obama] was a piker compared to their borrowing that they're doing now."

Democratic leaders and White House officials are trying to finalize a so-called "Phase 4" emergency aid bill this week and hold a vote in Congress on it next week.

Paul warned that the amount of spending involved in such legislation could have negative consequences for Republicans in November.

"The politicians around here say, 'Oh, no, we just have to buy more voters by flooding the economy with money.' Well, guess what?" he asked. "What if conservatives or libertarians that vote Republican decide, 'The hell with it, you're acting like Democrats, we're either staying home or voting for a third party.' You know what? They might just lose this election because they're acting like Democrats now."...............

~FACTS~

The ONLY reason media ever uses RAND PAUL...is when he has something negative to say about GOP or POTUS.  HE IS A RINO.  NOT IMPRESSED WITH HIM....EVER.  Keep shooting YOURSELF in the foot, you stupid man. RAND PAUL...HOWDY DOODY.

The only thing that really matters in D.C. is spending. That's were all the domestic power comes from.

And on that front there is virtually no difference between the parties. Some difference on priorities but massive spending nevertheless. That spending is death to our future yet both parties cheer it on.

That's right precisely... And why the Republican Party, shorn of Conservative principles, is no different than the Democrats, in any fashion.

He ain’t wrong.

No he isn't. Outside of some of his ideas on foreign policy, I think he would have made a decent President.

And, this helps us,  HOW...NOW?  HINDSIGHT RAND PAUL.  Idiot RINO.

Where does Rand Paul Stand on Immigration? At a fundraiser with Rand Paul in Okoboji, Iowa, DREAMers Erika Andiola & Cesar Vargas confront Steve King for trying to end DACA. Rand Paul runs away when Erika says she's a DREAMer.

The only reason the LEFT media lets him talk is because he normally has something negative to say about president TRUMP. 
------------------------------
It is deeply unethical and anti-conservative for any GOP Senator to oppose the President when he is defending our southern border BY following the law as written.

The 12 Senate Republicans who voted in AGAINST THE PRESIDENT on National Emergency at border.

 Roger Wicker of Mississippi,
Marco Rubio of Florida,
 Rob Portman of Ohio,
 Susan Collins of Maine,
 Lisa Murkowski of Alaska,
Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania,
 Roy Blunt of Missouri,
 Lamar Alexander of Tennessee,
 Mitt Romney of Utah,

                                    Rand Paul of Kentucky,

Jerry Moran of Kansas
and Mike Lee of Utah.


 Even Mark Levin can see through him.
-----------------------------------
Here's what happened. A) Rand Paul repeatedly mentioned his support for the TPP in 2014-15. (You can still find the articles/videos out there discussing Rand's point of view)

 B) Many of his more knowledgeable supporters (myself once one of them), vehemently called him out on it.

C) Rand capitulated, and came out against the 'fast track' portion of TPP. But only after it was clear that the 'fast track' was going to pass with or without his vote.

 D) He voted against the 'fast track' for TPP. [NOTE: THIS IS NOT VOTING AGAINST TPP] E) TPP itself has yet to be fully voted on. Last Rand said though, he still supports it. Though it has been awhile. Perhaps he'll flip flop.

Rand is not his dad. He is not as principled. TPP aside, he proved that when he endorsed Romney a few years back. There's good reason he doesn't have the same widespread grass roots support his father did. I actually saw Ron give a speech in 2014. The crowd generally loved him. At only two points did he not get a loud standing ovation from the majority of the crowd. The first was when he mentioned his position on abortion. The second was when he mentioned Rand and tried to garner support for him (and this was before TPP came up as a big issue in national politics). Ron's fan's are not all Rand fans. In fact, quite a lot of them are not. If you've been paying attention all along, he sold himself out.
