RNC 2012: Sen. Rand Paul

Rand Paul gave the best speech last night:


Highlights:

• "The whole damn thing [Obamacare] is still unconstitutional."

• "This debate is not over."

• "Madison was unequivocal; the powers of the Federal Government are few and defined.  The power to tax and spend ARE restricted by the enumerated powers."

• He offered an interesting perspective on the defense budget.  Our national security needs, not the desires of defense contractors, should guide our defense spending decisions.  It's worth keeping in mind heading into the budget battles of 2013.
