According to Gallup, just 7 percent of Americans say they have either "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in Congress, a historic low recorded by the polling firm. So it makes sense for Sen. Rand Paul to criticize his colleagues in the run-up to a likely run for the White House. "I can tell you without exaggeration that I've met the enemy, and the enemy is too often us," he said in a Friday speech at the Faith & Freedom Coalition's "Road to the Majority" conference, which attracts Christian-values voters to Washington.
Many of the speakers at the event spoke in populist terms—Rick Santorum called for a turn to "blue-collar conservatism," Michele Bachmann anchored her fiery speech in Obama's low poll numbers. But Paul's anger was focused mainly on Congress. Here are some of his key lines:
Congress is responsible for "the bipartisan destruction of our currency," he said.
He is correct. The problem is the Establishment GOP. Boehner, McConnell, McCain, etc. are all of the same mold and they are no better than the Socialist on the other bench. They have lost complete sight of the fact that they work for us, the PEOPLE and do not want their little empires destroyed. Throw them all out and set term limits.. no more career politicians....
ReplyDeleteIf anyone at this point thinks that Dem or Rep are better than the other they are clearly not paying attention. Everyone in congress wants Rand Paul to shut up. Why? He is holding a mirror up to our govenrment and the govt doesnt like what it sees but is too corrupted to change anything.
