He is starting to sound more like McCain every day.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told a gathering of Tea Party conservatives that those affiliated with the movement need to watch what they say, alluding to his recent criticism of right-wing rocker Ted Nugent.
“In order for us to be a bigger party, we have to reach out to more people, not just those of us here. It has to be a bigger party, it has to be a bigger movement,” Paul said at a Tea Party Patriots event in Washington, D.C.
“There are times, and I don’t think it is our movement, but there are times when people are using language that shouldn’t be used,” Paul said.
Paul last week in a tweet criticized Nugent’s description of President Obama as a “subhuman mongrel.” He said Nugent’s comments were “derogatory” and “offensive.”
“We can disagree with the president without calling him names,” Paul said on Thursday. “I disagree almost all the time, but I don’t call him names and I am polite to him when I meet him.
“I’m not saying that’s our problem, I’m just saying there are people out in public who are taking away from our message and let’s try not to be a part of that. … Our message has to be a happy message, one of optimism, one of growth,” he said.
The libertarian-leaning senator was speaking at an event celebrating the fifth anniversary of the Tea Party movement’s founding.
Paul is a favorite of Tea Party groups but has at times sought to straddle the gap between the grassroots activists and the Republican establishment.
He also used the speech to take shots at government spending and the party establishment.
“The good news is your government’s open. The bad news is your government’s open and still borrowing over $1 million every minute,” he joked.
He then criticized a bill that he said would eliminate “$3 million for Twiggy the water-skiing squirrel” that failed after half of Republicans voted against it.
“You would think that’s low-hanging fruit … but you’d be wrong,” he said.

These politicions really are a piece of work aren`t they Bulldog.
About a week and a half ago, Rand lunched with the treasonous criminal, Eric Holder. Afterwards, Rand said he has tremendous “respect” for this Gangster.
So apparently we need to respect the “Manchurian Candidate” fraud in the White House, Nancy Pelosi and all the rest of the criminals, too.
Seems as though Rand is playing the real life part of Robert Redford in the movie “The Candidate”. Redford starts out with good intentions but, in the end, ends up being exactly like the politicians he hated.
America has become a cesspool of mongrels, and Rand isn’t helping. Time to clean house!
Dear Rand Paul,
Yes,.. I am careful, and watching what I say,… what I say is:
DROP DEAD YOU FECULENT, PUSILLANIOUS PUSS FILLED BAG OF TREASONOUS FILTH!
Why don’t you just move in with your girlfriend, Alex Jones-stein,…. and you two can live in Happily-Ever-After communist/treasonous bliss.
JD – US Marines – I can NOT wait to see his feet twitching when he hangs from the gallows for his sedition and treason!
Awe man JD you sure do have a way with words, I love it.
I wish I was half as good as you JD 😉
Ah JD, just got to say one more thing that there is a guy here in Wi. promoting a double noose hang mans rope for those like this clown rand paul and his friend alex jones to do their last rope dance together 😉
Hi Digger,
HAhahaha,… ok,.. thanks for the kind words!
As for Rand Paul and a “Double Noose” (I’m not even shure what that is…),… in thinking about it,… I’m kind of leaning towards a “Special” noose for the likes of Rand Paul and the other treasnous members of congress,… a noose made of piano wire!
Ouch!!!!,.. that would have to hurt even more than the strangulation process!!!
JD – US Marines – As we get closer and closer to the final implosion,… your going to see more and more of these commies POURING out of the woodwork….
Yes JD, that columbian neck tie is good and very efficient, Kind of messy though if ya know what I mean – however there is usually a mess to clean up anyway I suppose – nasty as it is 😉 .
Yea that two noose hang mans rope – so that guy in Wi. says anyway – is a hemp rope with a noose at both ends that is secured half way between the two nooses around a good strong tree branch so that it doesn` slip or break the branch.
The noose will fit securely around the neck of the ones to be hanged – one neck for each noose. that way when they drop to streatch their neck they will be doing their final rope dance kickin` the crap out of each other while doing the double noose rope dance – their final act on the face of the earth.
Oh yes, my friend also says to be sure to make sure that you tie their pants legs good and tight so when they crap their pants that there will be less clean up – it will also save time to get ready tor the next rope dance oncore of two more rope dancers. My freind just thought that you would like to know about that little trinket of info. by the way 😉
Yes, my freind in Wi. – that doesn`t want to be known – does come up with some good ideas I think.
What do you think my bro. JD. 😉
U S Marine
That was so simple that even a dumb cracker like me can understand it,not to mention so absolutely true!
You would like to have hope for someone in Congress, but this guy is not it.
…I don’t know about Rand…he does seem to want it both ways…but I think he is trying to keep the rebellion dignified and away from the type of behavior that leads to violence that cannot be stepped back from…while I understand the hatred and emotion…using phrases like “subhuman mongrel” does not help our leg of the triangle that we need to support…and I hope Rand is simply trying to display the type of “Gentlemanly Demeanor” that he thinks should be directed towards The Office…not Barack himself…

“There are times, and I don’t think it is our movement, but there are times when people are using language that shouldn’t be used,” Paul said.”
Try telling that to Hitlery, clownboy. She swears like a sailor in his cups.
“The good news is your government’s open.”
That’s only good news for the so-called ‘government’, @sshole. Bad news for the rest of the ENTIRE world.
Except Israhell, of course.
