Rand Paul: Conservatives are getting 'squat' from Senate leadership

Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said early Tuesday that "conservatives are getting squat" from GOP leaders in negotiations to repeal ObamaCare.

"There's no promise of a clean repeal vote," he said on "Fox & Friends. "If they're not even going to talk with conservatives, if we're going to be excluded from the process, conservatives don't need to participate in this pork fest," he said.

Keeping my fingers crossed. Sounds like a "no".

Rand loves any opportunity for attention and would never miss any opportunity to milk TV time for all it's worth. In the end run he will roll over and go with Mitch.

For example, Rand Paul once held a one-man-filibuster... that nobody cared about because he did the filibuster while the Senate wasn't even in session. But he fundraised of this "heroic" deed.
