Rand Paul actually said...

"I wouldn’t have done it."

"I can't, in good conscience, give up every principle that I stand for and every principle that I was elected upon, and that's that we can't accumulate more debt."

"My commitment to protecting life isn’t just personal, it’s rooted in both science and principle. Life begins at conception, and I’ve spent my time in the Senate fighting to protect the right to life."

"trillions in new debt 'removed' from the measure."
