Summary: Sen. Rand Paul was busy making headlines, and the media rounds, non-stop throughout the last week. The Senator was tapped to deliver the tea party rebuttal to President Obama's State of the Union address- not to mention the conservative alternative to Marco Rubio's establishment-arian talking-points. But like Rubio, the leftist media wasted no time bashing Dr. Paul for daring to disagree with the savior-in-chief. Rand has seemingly been in the middle of every political squabble that has come up in the last several weeks- most recently including the Senate confirmations of the administration's nominee for CIA director John Brennan. After making political hey out of the 9/11/12 Benghazi attacks, the bin-Laden raid doctor's (Shakil Afridi) imprisonment in Pakistan and now the the nomination of Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense, it seems to me that the Senator is trying to be all things to all (conservative) people. Now, I'm all about fighting the good fight, but might Dr. Paul be biting off a little too much here? At the same time, he's fighting for hemp legalization, an audit of the Fed, privatizing the TSA, a balanced budget amendment/the Mack-Penny plan, and transparency in drone operation. And these are just subjects that Sen. Paul has spoken on in the last week or two!
