Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) offered some support to Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) on Friday in his underdog bid to become House majority leader.

“I think Labrador would be a great leader,” Paul, a possible presidential contender in 2016, said at Idaho’s Republican Convention, according to the Associated Press.

    Leader of what? Obstruction? I don’t think the House would change under either McCarthy or Labrador, but McCarthy might make the GOP seem more sane and reasonable (he’s from California, after all, and wants immigration reform for his constituency’s big farmers) than Labrador who seems to represent nothing but “No, no, no, no, no no no.”

    Remember that the tea party guy who just won in Virginia is preaching that anyone who works for the government is a sinner. --That’s the kind of crowd the tea partiers in the House are playing to. (Also, chillingly, we should recall that the 15 year old who shot and killed a student in Oregon just now was a devout Mormon who intended to kill sinners.)

    Throw the bums out.

    And if I’m wrong, I’ll change my opinion and threaten anyone who accuses me of ever thinking differently. I’m a Republican Congressman.
