Rand Paul and the ‘Hard Part About Freedom’

Rand Paul has decided to take the politically expedient route and revise his words to thwart or deflect the criticism. One cannot change overnight so the obvious conclusion is that this is just a cynical move on his part. His assessment of the Civil Rights Acts have not changed.

So now what does the GOP do with their new ingenue? To date Michael Steele has yet to condemn Rand Paul although he did note some displeasure. McConnell has kept his views private for the most part.

On principle it’s hard to digest a GOP that was only yesterday distancing themselves from both Ron and Rand Paul. Once they saw a potential for a win in Kentucky come November they were (and are) quick to embrace this new Southern Strategy candidate by the name of Rand Paul.

I predict they will treat Rand Paul much as they did with Sarah Palin. They will focus on criticizing his media critics and limit his appearances as we saw this weekend with his cancellation with Meet the Press.
