Paul Says GOP Hawks Are Obama ‘Lap Dogs’

Source: PoliticalWire/WashPost

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said that Republican hawks are “lap dogs” for President Obama and his foreign policy, the Washington Post reports.

Said Paul: “These people who call loudest to criticize me are great proponents of president Obama’s foreign policy and they just want to do it ten times over. I’m really the one standing up to President Obama and these people are essentially the lapdogs for President Obama, and I think they’re sensitive about that.”

'War is bad, but war is good because... America. Fuck Yeah!, but war is not good if waged by a negro, I blame GOP hawks for being hawkish while a negro has the nuclear codes, put me in the White House and I will be a hawk for... Hey! Tasty squirrels! Hawks love tasty squirrels! fly fly, swoop swoop, talon talon, munch munch... ...ugh, brain slowing... must get more squirrels...'

Guess Tom Cotton and the other 46 Iran letter repugs are Obama lapdogs?

It's often said libertarians are just repugs who like to smoke dope so I'd say Rand Paul is still high from the 4/20.

Does he know the mike is on when he says this stuff?

Rand Paul is going to appeal to some elements of the base.
