Sen Lindsey Graham says its “fine with him” if the NSA seizes records from Verizon, Sen Rand Paul says its an “astounding assault on the Constitution”.

There are two very different wings of the republican party right now: those who support more war, interventionism, bigger government, bombings, drones, expansion of the TSA & DHS and less rights for citizens (and ironically, on all of those counts they are identical to Pres. Obama) and a smaller number of Republicans, led by Rand Paul who are against foreign intervention, military aggression and who favor smaller government, more rights and true adherence to the Constitution.

It is impossible to dislike Pres. Bush, VP Cheney or Sen Graham and their policies without finding some policies of Rand Paul to your liking as he is nearly the opposite on many major issues. Ironically, Pres. Obama has continued many of Pres Bush’s policies that his supporters felt were in need of improvement.

For Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Independents and Greens, its time to stop paying attention to the alphabet letter next to someone’s name and start paying attention to what they really stand for.
