Rand Paul to carry Tea Party banner in SOTU response

President Barack Obama will give the first State of the Union address of his second term tomorrow night. It’s expected that he will build upon the incredibly partisan, Leftist agenda laid out in his inaugural address at a time when Republicans in Congress are still struggling to find their message.
While Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) will give the Republican response to the State of the Union address, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) will offer a more stark contrast between the policies of the Obama Administration by giving the official Tea Party response:
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., will deliver the Tea Party’s official response to President Obama’s State of the Union address on Tuesday, Tea Party Express announced on Friday.

“Since the President has been re-elected, the debt has continued to skyrocket and unemployment has ticked up, but he has offered no solutions and has shown no leadership,” said Tea Party Express Chairman Amy Kremer. “In contrast, Senator Rand Paul has put forth solutions that would spur economic growth and rein in Washington’s out-of-control spending. We are excited that Senator Paul, a conservative leader and strong voice for the Tea Party movement, will be offering our perspective on the state of the union.”
Sen. Paul has been building his profile in recent weeks, focusing primarily on foreign policy. During a recent confirmation hearing, Sen. Paul grilled Sen. John Kerry over the Obama Administration’s policy of unilateral war. And just last week, Sen. Paul outlined a constitutional, true conservative approach to foreign policy.
Giving the Tea Party response to the State of the Union will offer Sen. Paul a chance to get back to his fiscally conservative, free market roots and build up grassroots support ahead of his anticipated presidential run in 2016.
I will vote for and move mountains if possible to get this modern day founding father, a re-founding father, patriot, elected President of the Free United States of America….may the Almighty bless Rand Paul and his decisions
Great! Glad to see him get back to his conservative roots. He really ticked me off voting NO to GMO labeling of foods. Made himself look like he’s just another in-bed-with-Monsanto or whoever will give campaign money - guy. Maybe he has some of his Cad’s backbone after all.
He’ll have as much time in the Senate as Obama had, with a background of having been a doctor and Ron Paul’s son. Don’t let folks tell you he’s unqualified!
every election since 2008 more and more people are siding with the paul family and what they stand for. I believe deep in my heart that next election we can make rand’s win a real possibility. however the first thing we need to do is chase out the Federal Reserve. As long as they exist in this country they are going to continually upset the balance of things in their favor to support their N.W.O. Agenda. Watch out Fed, your pissing off the masses, and you can’t throw money to sooth an angry mob of people.
I love his idea. I think it is effective though. Good job on this. - Dr. Mark Denker
All I can say is good luck. May he be successful on his undertaking. - Casa Sandoval
