with you.

Paul's motivations have nothing to do with a very obvious and valid concern but you'd rather focus on him than the concern and further use him as a deflection for those concerns and to make him the face of them so they can go into file 13 for Democrats effectively making us supporters of this bullshit program and the corporations who profit from it.

I don't give a fuck what Rand Paul's motivations are, how is his statement incorrect?
