Rand Paul actually said...

"Let us do not support the bad ones, but let us not presume enough that if we topple them that in the vacuum Thomas Jefferson is going to arise, because it never seems to happen."

"I would argue that instead of always choosing the Government, maybe we should not reward the bad ones."

"The lesson of these wars is that regime change does not work."

"People say, oh, we are going to get rid of the iron fist and Thomas Jefferson is going to rise from the ashes."
