He's a fucking crypto-cuck. He will never live down the omnibus spending bill put through.
Paul was just acting like a fucking hipster progressive after Trump rightly made the comment about stopping all muslims from coming in the country. Then Paul grows out a mooslim beard. I never trust a man with 2 first names.

Says the man who threw the Constitution out the window, when he pressed for, and helped pass the budget bill with cispa and all the other garbage in it. He cares so much.

You know, people said Obama would be far better than Bush, too.
As a liberal-leaning person (at least on some issues), I'm not sure I can agree that he has been better. The only thing worse about Bush was that he started the Iraq War. For everything else, Obama has been as bad or worse.
The point is, never assume that changing the party in power will solve your problems, and never assume that people who seem good during their campaign will actually be good in the White House.

The fact that it was started by a Republican is irrelevant. Obama has started many wars, as did Clinton.
The Iraq War was an aggressive war based on lies made by the highest offices of power. That's bad.
It created a rallying cause for Islamic extremists around the world, making terrorist and Islamism worse everywhere. That's bad.
It got thousands of Americans killed and wounded. That's bad.
It got thousands of innocent Iraqis killed and wounded. That's bad.
It destroyed the infrastructure of Iraq, guaranteeing that the country will remain poor and thus vulnerable to Islamic extremism and domination by foreign powers. That's bad.
It provided a training ground for terrorists who could then export their skills and violent ideology around the world. That's bad.
It didn't actually provide any real democracy to Iraq, and democracy isn't what the Iraqis needed in the first place. That's bad.
It cost a shit load of money and made our military much weaker and demoralized. That's bad.
I could go on.
So you admit your initial question wasn't an honest one at all. Or are you just so retarded that you make up straw-man arguments against people whose ideology you know nothing about?

I appreciate your support, Mr. Speaker, and I look forward to guiding you down a better path once I'm President.
