It's Only May, But He's Clearly No Mr. October

Or Mr. November, for that matter.  What a coward.  Less than a week ago, he was chomping at the bit to go to war on behalf of the tea baggers, promising not to "mince words."  Instead, after an abbreviated media roll-out, during which time he couldn't figure out whether the Civil Rights Act was a good idea or not, he pulls this stunt.

Maybe the Civil Rights Act isn't the real problem, however.  Maybe it's the rank hypocrisy of the tea baggers, who claim to be mad as hell and unwilling to take it anymore.  But, when it comes to the thing they go on and on about--big government--they just go on taking and taking it.  When they get a load of what Mr. Paul thinks about Social Security and Medicare, they'll do everything they can to keep his libertarian hands off of it.
