Sen. Rand Paul self-destructs again

470195642“Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul derided Republican critics of his foreign policy as ‘lap dogs for President Obama’ during an interview on Tuesday, launching an early salvo in the war of words that could reverberate through the 2016 Republican presidential primary. Paul … was asked on Fox News about remarks from Sens. John McCain, R-Arizona, and Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, … who have long criticized Paul’s non-interventionist approach to global affairs. ‘People who call loudest to criticize me are great proponents of President Obama’s foreign policy — they just want to do it ten times over,’ he said. “… And these people are essentially the lapdogs for President Obama, and I think they’re sensitive about that.'” (Quoted from CBS News)

At the rate he’s going, his will be a very short-lived presidential campaign. You can’t get elected president by bashing the leading lights of your own party.
