Senator Rand Paul responded Thursday on MSNBC to John McCain's crazy accusations that he was "working for Vladimir Putin".
"I think he makes a really, really strong case for term limits," Paul told the crew of Morning Joe.
"I think maybe he's past his prime; I think maybe he's gotten a little bit unhinged," he said.
Paul continued: "I do think that when we talk about NATO, there can be a rational discussion about the pros and cons of expanding it. We currently have troops, combat troops, in about six nations. We have troops actively just stationed in probably a couple dozen others. We have a $20 trillion debt. And one of my favorite articles of the last couple years is one that talked about the angry McCains, and if they -- if we put active troops and got involved in combat where McCain wants us to be, they put a little angry McCain on the globe, on the map. And it's virtually everywhere. So his foreign policy is something that would greatly endanger the United States, greatly overextend us. And there has to be the thought whether or not it's in our national interest to pledge to get involved with a war if Montenegro has an altercation with anyone."
"There's also another argument, is that when you ask the people of Montenegro, only about 40 percent or slightly less are actually in favor of this. They are close to Russia, they're close to being sort of, like Ukraine, in the transition from Europe to Asia. Perhaps it would be good to be like Switzerland and be more neutral and trade with both," he said.
"So, there's a lot of considerations but to call someone somehow an enemy of the state or a traitor might be considered by most reasonable people to be a little over the top."

McCain has never been 'hinged' since he left his mother's teat.

Nope ...
You are WRONG ...
But that’s nothing new....you always are.
You need to get your Paulrard libertarian head out of your ass and stop remembering things as you want to remember them….and not as they really were.
Still having trouble with reality….are you?
Figures …
I have yet to meet one libertarian who can think clearly and deal with facts.

Deck, I seem to remember such braggadocios claim. If IIRC, the reasoning was something about saving that Republican vote in the Senate. Something like that, & I seem to remember the word "proudly" was used.

Either Gatlin is senile and forgot he said it, or he's trying to weasel out of admitting it.

Nope, that’s a lie.
I never said ”time and time again.”
That is just typical yellow journalism fluff and fake news ignorance you have grown so accustomed to….that it just flows naturally from you.
My past post will document that I ONLY said that I voted for him this last time, because of whom he was running against….”Chemtrail Kelli” and “Lost Annie.” By far two bigger losers ignoramuses that McCain.
If you check further back in my post history, you will find where I said that the time before that, I voted for JD Hayworth in the primary against McCain....and I voted for McCain's Democratic opponent in the general because he was more conservative than McCain.
You are one ignorant Paultard libertarian asshole who can never get anything factually correct.
Lord only knows why I tolerate you….but you should be eternally grateful, that at least I do.

Deckard can correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think he was quoting you.
I think he used that phrase as a time frame, meaning that you made that claim of voting for the Stain multiple times.
You are trying to create a false argument.
For one that claims to always be striving for truth, you should reevaluate your false assertion.
Personally, I only remember your bragging about voting for the Stain once.

Of course, he isn't counting all the other times.
McStain has been a Senator for a long time.
I'm sure Gatlin voted for McLunatic for President in 2008 as well.

Highly probable. If I were him ( & thank God Almighty I am not ) I would be greatly ashamed to admit it !
Stain, what a shit head, a perpetual embarrassment to the Navy, the Senate, and the State of Arizona !
