    politico & mother jones tweet contradictory Rand Paul smears

    written by Lee Stranahan at Breitbart:

    POLITICO, MOTHER JONES TWEET SAME PHOTO FOR CONTRADICTORY RAND PAUL SMEARS
    July 29 2015

    The political smear artists at Politico and Mother Jones apparently ran out of vaguely unflattering photos of Republican Presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) as they both tweeted out the exact same image for two contradictory narratives about the Paul campaign.

    Politico’s piece, largely based on anonymous sourcing, says that Rand Paul is disengaged and does not seem to want to win the race.

    Mother Jones says that Rand Paul is unprincipled (unlike his father Ron Paul, who MoJo also hates) and will do anything to win.

    I think Rand thought he'd benefit more from his occasional straying from libertarian orthodoxy and since it hasn't happen he has become frustrated, knowing that he has both burned bridges with his base and still made very little inroad with average conservatives.

    I think the "he doesn't want to win" whispers are specifically targeted to us.

    They're mainly to mock the Republican party and throw red meat at the leftist audience but those in our so called movement love the idea of incentivizing the left (and right) to attack our candidates by supporting those websites, clicking/liking/sharing/commenting and thus "spreading" the bull$#@! around.

    same.

    I care about changing policy. not the "battleflag" or other stupid distractions.

    I know rand paul is principled and he trying to take that principle and affect policy with it. I stand with Rand and have not felt burned at all. Rand is his father's son.

    Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. - Thomas Jefferson
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
