To have the Republicans nominate Rand Paul for President in 2016.
Lord knows, I don't ask the Republicans for much, but please, please nominate the guy who goes on the national news and defends Bashar al-Assad.
WASHINGTON – Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Sunday portrayed the current conflict in Syria as one between the government of President Bashar Al Assad, who Paul said “has protected Christians for a number of decades,” and “Islamic rebels,” who Paul said “have been attacking Christians” and are aligned with Al Qaeda.
“I think the Islamic rebels winning is a bad idea for the Christians, and all of a sudden we'll have another Islamic state where Christians are persecuted,” Paul said on NBC's “Meet the Press.”
… clearly the Syrian despot is a small-government kind of guy.
It’s just that he’s taking an indirect approach. Fewer Syrians means he can cut the size of government, eh?
All Rand hating aside why knock the guy for telling the truth? Al Qaeda is working with the rebels. They HAVE attacked the Coptic Christians. Go ahead prove me wrong. The Christians have lived fairly peaceably under Assad (and no I don’t think he is a good guy). There is a lot with Rand I don’t agree with either but he is right on the money with this one.
