Senators Josh Hawley of Missouri, Ted Cruz of Texas, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi, Roger Marshall of Kansas and John Kennedy of Louisiana voted to overturn the results in Arizona, while 93 senators voted against. Mr. Hawley, Mr. Cruz, Mr. Tuberville, Ms. Hyde-Smith, Mr. Marshall and Senators Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming and Rick Scott of Florida voted to overturn the results in Pennsylvania, while 92 voted against it.
Also, Paul was one of 11 Republicans in 2019 to vote against Trump's demand for "emergency border funding".
Although voting against the border wall funding was angering, I will never forget his treachery when he voted to certify the fraudulent election results.
Yeah but he votes against almost all funding. If all the republicans voted like rand, we would have much fewer of these problems to begin with. It would be angering to vote for funding like a typical republican, but then not vote for border funding.
True, but he's first and foremost a politician. Based on his Obama year voting record specifically his push for increasing our defense spending, I believe he's an opportunistic hypocrite.
Only when it suits him. In 2011, shortly after being elected, Paul proposed a budget which specified $542 billion in defense spending. In 2015, he called for a defense budget of $697 billion to use overseas. The "muh principles" excuse doesn't hold water. I agree, taxation is theft. If we ended welfare and all the taxpayer funded hand outs illegals are given we wouldn't need a border wall because the incentive to come here for most of them would be gone. However, Rand Paul is either a hypocrite or has changed his ways. Either way, my trust in him is rather short.
I have seen plenty of issues with Rand Paul, such as him endorsing Romney or the time he railed on the obviously fake January 6 "storming" of the capitol, but this example you have given does not seem particularly solid. I would like to hear an example of him voting for a spending bill that was clearly wrong from the ground up. In this case, it's not obvious what budget he should have called for. He could have gone with 542 billion again. But if he could have done that, then why not 500 billion or even 100 billion? So am not convinced.
However, I admit that I know absolutely nothing about this kind of stuff and for all I know 697 billion could be completely obviously unreasonable.
He and his father have always been about less government.
I can see the wall funding as he just hated funding anything.... certifying that election though!!!!!!! Disgrace to his father.
It had to be this way......they had to let them be seen in full display for normies. They all are playing roles.
Blurpy, What makes a good movie? Sometimes you just can’t tell people, you have to show them. Never interfere with an enemy when they’re in the middle of destroying themselves. Trust the plan. Are you a reader of Q?
this^ applies to JoyousMischief and others, too.
