His speech to the Ripon society
Part of his speech:
I wish him luck on that. The Tea Partiers consider the "c" word to be an act of treason.
On another note, Rand Paul must be one of the most willfully ignorant members on the Senate Foreign Relations committee. First he calls the Benghazi attack the worst disaster since 9/11. It's a tragedy but there had been far worse since 911.

The second one was him lambasting Clinton for having the State Dept spend $100,000 to send the Chai comedy group to a tour of India:
This bunch
I'm not sure he realizes the purpose of diplomacy is to at least make people of other nations at least decide we are not their enemies, even if we are not their friends. I would rather spend 100k for goodwill than spend 1 million for military action if it achieved the same result. Since he is making noises about running for President in 2016, I do hope he realized he had just made a political enemy of Hillary Clinton. Before it was politics. Now it's personal. And the Clintons have long memories. Truth be told, I do hope he becomes the nominee. He may just get it, considering the tea Partiers now control the nomination process. And if nothing changes between then and now, he probably looses the election by a even bigger margin than Romney.
Funny, but I had trouble even remember his name during the inauguration.

Part of his speech:
Quote:“But listen, we are Americans and we will figure this out. These nexti.e....compromise.
couple of weeks, next couple of months, frankly, the next 20 months, are
going to be a very difficult period for us. While we want to stand up
and fight for more fiscal responsibility, want to stand up and find a
way to move tax reform that will help our economy grow, to do the things
we believe in, we’re going to be doing it in an environment that is
going to be far more hostile than anything that I think we’ve seen for a
long, long time. We’re going to have to make some big decisions about
how we as a party take on this challenge. Where’s the ground that we
fight on? Where’s the ground that we retreat on? Where are the smart
fights? Where are the dumb fights that we have to stay away from?"
