God...I'm Already Sick To Death Of Rand Paul

[Me.]

It's going to be a long summer

[emulatorloo]

1. The more he tells us about his "views" the better.

[Me.]

5. Oh I Don't Think He Should Stop Yakking

There are lots out there who don't know him but as for me the remote may become permanently attached to my hand.

[Gold Metal Flake]

2. He's all over the "liberal media".

The numbers showing far more Democrats voted in the Democratic primary than in the republicker primary are not to be seen. Damn that liberal media bias.

[leftstreet]

3. Every time I see his name in print I wanna send him a 'y' n/t

[gmoney]

I thought he was named after Ayn Rand

But Wiki says his first name is Randal

[Me.]

11. So Did I

Thanks for the fact check.

[gmoney]

15. well, perhaps he chose "Rand" instead of "Randy" or "Randal" for that reason

He has a Galt-y conscience.

[leftstreet]

20. Ayn't that a coincidence?

:-)

[Tesha]

22. Named after Randall Flagg, ehh? 'Figures.

[Sugarcoated]

4. He reminds me so much of his father

and just as annoying to listen to.

[emulatorloo]

7. He makes his father seem as charismatic as JFK.

[krabigirl]

16. His father is a lot more open about his views on the war on drugs and foreign policy.

Rand doesn't seem to share those views...I agree with many of Ron's views, not all of course but many. Rand just seems like Palin redux.

[The_Casual_Observer]

6. He's a bogus "get government out of our life" cliche monger. When

it comes down to it, he hasn't got any practical advice about how it could actually be done.

[damntexdem]

8. And early Fall, remember that.

But, then, maybe Rand will take a fall in the Fall.

[maxsolomon]

9. I'd rather have 1 Libertarian in the Senate

than another Mitch McConnell or Inhofe or Coburn or Kyl or...

A Libertarian is more likely to cross the aisle to work with the furthest 'left' Senators; Sanders, Feingold...

[jmowreader]

12. Except that he's not exactly a Libertarian.

Rand Paul is more of a Fascist than he is a Libertarian. Fascism as implemented by Mussolini combines free reign for business with dictatorship for the citizenry, and that's exactly what Rand wants. Check his views on abortion.

I don't know about y'all, but when I first heard "Rand Paul" mentioned here I thought it was a slam on his objectivist daddy--replace Ron Paul's first name with the last name of his guru. Silly me, I didn't realize there were two of them.

[krabigirl]

17. exactly

[maxsolomon]

23. well, let's say a theoretical textbook Libertarian, then

because I consider most of the GOP Senators to be Fascists, anyway.

[jmowreader]

25. He's not all that theoretical, though

Basic Libertarian theology: you are better able to make decisions concerning your life than the government is.

Basic pro-life theology: the government must make all the decisions concerning what goes on between your navel and your knees because you might decide to have sex for purposes other than bringing a fetus to term, and that makes Jesus sad.

Rand Paul claims to be a libertarian, but that's a load of shit: a true libertarian would be pro-choice, and he's not.

[MicaelS]

10. Let him blather....

The more he opens his mouth, the deeper he can insert his feet. And make no mistake, this is great for any opponents of Teabaggers.

[tridim]

13. Isn't the next set of primaries about 2 weeks away?

The MSM will move on, but that should be enough time to completely destroy his campaign.

[Motown_Johnny]

14. the man is a walking wedge issue. Every time you see him think how much money the RNC will need to

spend on him to appease the 'baggers.

[AnArmyVeteran]

18. Was he born in the US?

[Cleita]

19. At least he's replacing Sarah Palin for the time being. n/t

[Prism]

21. It was either Paul or the economy

And since no one can spin the economic mess into a positive this week, Paul it is!

[Kievan Rus]

24. Rand Paul reminds me of Sarah Palin
