Rand Paul Now Says He Will Fight for Kentucky's Share of Pork Spending

This is no shocker. Bold all the headlines you want but this is not a shocker in the least bit.

Rand Paul, the anti-pork spender, small government crusader tells WSJ:
In a bigger shift from his campaign pledge to end earmarks, he tells me that they are a bad "symbol" of easy spending but that he will fight for Kentucky's share of earmarks and federal pork, as long as it's doled out transparently at the committee level and not parachuted in in the dead of night. "I will advocate for Kentucky's interests," he says.
For months I told anyone that would listen that Rand Paul is not against Big Government. He loves it. He lies and says he hates it and that as a prestigious U.S. Senator he would fight to shrink it and reduce it and butt hump it until it bleeds and the media pretended right along with him.  In reality, Rand Paul can't get enough Big Government.

As a surgeon he has personally pocketed millions of dollars from Medicare, a federal program he says he wants to do away with.  No he doesn't.  He just says such things so he can fit the tea bagger mold.

Prior to running for senate, Randy told us that he was against a socialist farming market, aka farm subsidies.  After becoming the Republican nominee he changed his mind and stated he loved socialist farming.

All throughout the campaign, Randy claimed he despised TARP and that it was Big Government at its worst.  He hated TARP so much that he kept millions of dollars of campaign funds in a bank that was rescued by TARP money.  Paul also accepted donations from Members of Congress that voted in favor of TARP.  Paul is so against Big Government and socialist programs that he can't wait to get his hands on the money it helped circulate.

Anyone that believes or claims Rand Paul-- or any Republican-- is against Big Government, large deficits, out of control spending or massive amounts of debt is an idiot.  Complete idiot.
