Rand Paul would form 'tea party caucus'

[one_voice]

Kentucky Senate GOP nominee Rand Paul is floating the idea of forming a “tea party caucus” if he is elected.


In an interview with National Review, Paul said that if elected he would like to partner with other tea party-friendly senators to provide a block of representation for the loose affiliation of grass-roots conservative groups.


“I think I will be part of a nucleus with Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), who are unafraid to stand up,” Paul said. “If we get another loud voice in there, like Mike Lee from Utah or Sharron Angle from Nevada, there will be a new nucleus.”


If able to put together such a coalition, Paul said the group would fight for “term limits, a balanced-budget amendment, having bills point to where they are enumerated in the Constitution — those issues resonate with the tea party.”

3. So, the silly little dipshit calls for both "term limits" and "having bills point to ...

where they are enumerated in the Constitution". Anybody else see the disconnect there? This goofy little asshole is a laugh riot!
