Sep 2014

I challenged some conservatives to condemn Rand Paul for talking bad about the US on foreign soil. They could not stick to their principles. I admitted I had to let Rand Paul go, as I had for the Dixie Chick. So I was being consistent. They still would not bring themselves to condemn Paul - and they should have, if talking bad about their President while on foreign soil was really a problem for them.

Republicans have no principles. Whatever they claim are their principles are just excuses. They will change them when the wind blows another way.
