His belief system calls for him to do this even though that would cause a worldwide financial collapse and an epic depression like the world has never seen. I predict that he won't, as while a Tea Party candidate like him won, all the big spending Republicans won as well. In fact, if this election had truly shown the Tea Party to have tapped extreme discontent with the Democrats, the Republican Party would of posted much larger gains than they did.
The GOP will pressure Rand to toe the line and vote for a debt ceiling increase. And when President Obama wins re-election, I predict much if not all the minimal gains made by the GOP will be rolled back.
Mitch McConnell will control Rand Paul, and the GOP controlled House will be gridlocked and remind people why they divorced the GOP two years ago and turn out to be a blessing in disguise that will make Obama's reelection to be a much easier thing to accomplish in 2012.
Enjoyed the noise made here that there would be a historic slam dunking of a win by the GOP. And I'm pleased to see this did not happen.
