Rand sides with Obama, again...

Why does he keep agreeing with this imperial president before the mainstream media? Is this the part of libertarianism I just don't get? I guess if he keeps his voting record straight, then ok, but I can't help questioning his 95% liberty score at ConservativeReview when pulling these stunts...

IdahoStatesman: Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said Thursday that starting to trade with Cuba “is probably a good idea” and that the lengthy economic embargo against the communist island “just hasn’t worked.”

Paul became the first potential Republican presidential candidate to offer some support for President Barack Obama’s decision to try to normalize U.S. relations with Cuba...

Sigh...following in the footsteps of dad. Add this to his 2014 con list:

• Rand stands with Obama and Kerry on Iran
• RAND PAUL: What's Happening In Iraq Is Not Obama's Fault
• Rand Paul And Mitch McConnell Share Skepticism Of Ted Cruz’s Obamacare Plan (or pretty much siding with McConnell WAY TOO MUCH!)
• Rand Paul: GOP needs to ‘agree to disagree’ on social issues (here's where conservatism diverges from libertarianism in morality, principle & tradition)

Yes, there have also been some 2014 pros:

• Rand Paul Opposes Net Neutrality Rules: 'I Don't Want To See Regulation Of The Internet'
• Obama’s ISIS War Is Illegal
• Sen. Rand Paul: Why I’m Voting ‘No’ on Syria…
• Rand Paul Thinks Even Silicon Valley Has Had Enough of Obama and ‘Big Government Regulations and Taxes’

And I'd still go with him over Jeb or Marco any day...but there's still a better choice for consistent constitutional conservatism, folks...
