Rand Paul: Maybe "Holding Hands" With Democrats on Laws and Budgets Isn't Such a Great Idea

No I'm sure it's a fantastic idea, the best.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) blasted Republicans for "holding hands" with Democrats over a massive funding bill signed into effect this week that he criticizes for skyrocketing the national debt and failing to deliver on key Republican agenda items.

"The debt is up over a trillion the Dow is down...Maybe the GOP holding hands Democrats isn’t such a great idea," the libertarian-leaning senator said on Twitter Saturday.

Paul live-tweeted his attempt to read through the behemoth 2,232-page omnibus spending package on Friday. Congress only had a few hours between the release of the bill and its passage before a Friday night government funding deadline.

A few questions:

1. Why was the House bill written to be already acceptable to the RINOs and Red State Democrats in the Senate? Shouldn't the House, allegedly more conservative than the Senate (though they're starting to look the same to me), make its position further to the right and make the Senate come towards it a little?

2. Why not present a more conservative budget to the Senate, and make the RINOs and especially the Red State Democrats up for re-election in a year and a half either vote for it or vote against it and cause a shutdown, and then explain to their voters why they wouldn't vote for military pay raises and the wall?

Are Republicans even interested in beating Democrats any longer, or are they deliberately trying to throw the election?
