You really need to stick to starting shitty threads over on the OT. You’re out of your depth here.

Most of the issues you mentioned arent where we are spending most of the mil budget. Personnel costs are sky high. Military compensation has been raised to the point where we can barely maintain active duty levels.

We need to consider taking the Military out of inherently civilian roles. We have tons of active duty sitting in program offices basically living as civilians with uniforms stateside...

This is the difference between Republicans and Democrats. If this was a Democratic administration and they had control of Congress and the president and/or Chuck Schirmer wanted a certain piece of legislation passed no Democrat would oppose no matter how bad it is. There are still at least some Republicans who will vote their conscience over their politics if they are fundamentally opposed to it.

The frick?

Are you really a conservative or a fake alt-righter?

Since when did we want to increase deficit spending as a party? Oh, that's right...NEVER.

If you are going to do this do it right. Present a platform in an election cycle. Say we are going to gut the budget. Take all dependents on the state and throw them to the curb. Then if the people say, yes at the polls, there you have it. A CR should remove the military from consideration, so all of our hard working men and women can pay all their bills and not constantly have their lives interrupted ever CR. You Rand guys are worse than liberals. You are clueless. He is such an egotistical SOB.

You know what?

Sometimes I think this government needs a shutdown. Then maybe, just maybe, everyone's constituents will get ticked off and they will actually attempt to do something.

WTF are you talking about? This has been Rand's overt position in every election cycle and throughout his terms in the Senate. I'm still perplexed at what your fricking complaint is other than not agreeing with Rand. How dare he stick to the principles he has always stood on and was elected on? How dare he be consistent, honest, and principled even against his own party?

He is nothing more than an obstructionist. His little pissing match accomplished nothing except demonstrating how he is utterly egotistical.

Leadership requires followers and a plan. He grandstands and does the chicken little bit every chance he gets. Count me not impressed.

ETA

CNN sees this for what it is, a hit job on the Republicans. They thank Rand for the opportunity to show the utter hypocrisy and use it as chance to prop up Rand. Man if CNN is on your side that tells you something.

CNN big Rand fan
