Whether you're republican or democrat shouldn't really matter...judging from some of the things Rand Paul has said this week, it douns to me like he's on the right track. I could be wrong but considering how pathetic the government spending has been I would think just about everyone would agree regardless of party affiliation. This week he has been quoted as saying;
"His message is really not about political parties and it's not about Republican or Democrat. His message is - we cannot as a country spend more than we take in without repercussions. Voters are unhappy with 2 trillion dollar annual deficits. They don't understand why we have to balance our own family budgets and yet Congress can't do the same. He says he'll work with Democrats who understand that the private sector and not government, creates jobs. And, he'll vote against his own party if it doesn't stay in line.
He says he'll start with attacking provisions that he thinks would worsen the Recession, and eventually wants ‘Obamacare’ repealed. Paul says party affilation does not matter. Instead, he calls for “serious discussions for serious problems” - like getting people back to work. Paul tends to think the most important thing is to know that he doesn't see things at all in terms of partisan politics, he doesn't see things as Republican or Democrat at all. If the republican party is right he votes with them. If they're wrong he'll vote against them. He says he's going to continue working and seeing patients and that he has to figure out exactly what the rules of the Senate are and what they will allow him to do.”
I know he's a salesman/politician...and can talk a lot of smack like most salesmen can...but at least what he's saying so far seems like plain common sense to me.
