Hypocrisy is the compliment vice pays to virtue, I suppose. It is fair, then, to say that Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) posturing as a Reaganite on foreign policy goes beyond hypocrisy to downright fabrication.
Recall that an essential part of Pauls libertarian shtick was a foreign policy less aggressive than the Republicans. He was going to nation build in Detroit, he once said, as opposed to funding foreign allies or the Pentagon.
Now that the world has blown up, Iran is striding toward a nuclear weapon and Russia is lumbering through Ukraine, he wants us to believe, as he said on Sunday, that he is in the mainstream of the GOP and in the vein of Ronald Reagan. This is nonsense on steroids.
The mainstream GOP in fact, 77 U.S. senators and 43 of 45 Republicans thinks the presidents Iran negotiations are misguided and destined to end in failure so long as sanctions are relaxed and no new sanctions await Iran if the talks dont lead to a final agreement. Not Paul. He is aligned with President Obama, not the Republicans
