I leave for 3 hours and you guys let Rand Paul go all RINO on us!
And to think that just yesterday he was the Heart Of The Republican Party.
While Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was bemoaning the "defeatist attitude" of his fellow Republican senators, his close ally Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) acknowledged Obamacare won't be defunded in a bill to keep the federal government open.
Zitat"I don't really want to characterize what I think the vote means," he said. "I think that the Republican caucus has been united in its opposition to Obamacare."
"All I know is at this time, my conclusion is -- and apparently a lot of people's conclusion is -- we ought to get to the votes," Paul added later, as reporters continued to press him on Cruz's strategy. "If we're going to send something to the House, I think get something over there sooner rather than later. That's always been my opinion."
