[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 110905, member: 35"] I disagree with Rand Paul on many issues (his comparison of Medicare for All to slavery, for example). However, he at least has the backbone to say he will oppose the nominations of Mike Pompeo and Gina Haspel. Paul's the first Republican to come out against them, and he was also the only Republican to vote against Pompeo for CIA Director last year. Haspel destroyed evidence regarding her torture program, and Paul said she's expressed "joyful glee at someone who is being tortured." Paul also said ""I'm perplexed by the nomination of people who love the Iraq War so much that they would advocate for a war with Iran next. I think it goes against most of the things President Trump campaigned on." Most people who call themselves "the resistance" are all talk, and even Paul has gone along with some of Trump's draconian policies such as the tax cut bill. However, promoting torturers to positions of power is something that should be universally opposed. I give credit where credit is due, which is precisely why I reject partisan politics. [/QUOTE]
