He's just telling a certain group of people what they want to hear, fully aware that he will never be in the position of having some actual responsibility. He isn't going to change anything. He doesn't want to. He's happy gaming the system in his own comfortable niche.

I would say that Paul holds as much of the blame for the bill passing as Obama does---not much, but, symbolically, it would have been better if they had actually made a principled stand.

Anyone have any idea if Paul always skips the defense budget voting? Be interesting to see if he ended up voting for or against funding all those bases and wars and things he is so vehemently against.
