    Rand Paul

    Further proving he is NRFPT by ignoring the lessons of Jindal,Bachmann, McDonnell and Rubio by following POTUS making a rebuttal.
    It has proven to be political suicide

    Dude is a joke. His claim to fame is being the spawn of a guy who—hey, forget the racist newsletters for a moment—could get re-elected while basically saying "no" to everything which wasn't his own brand of crackpottery. . . which is really easy to do when you don't have the responsibility to actually govern. I've said it before here, but some perverse part of me wants to see L'il Rand get elected president, just to watch the meltdown.

    That could be pretty good theatre.

    Ron Paul's "no" votes were based on the following criteria...

    "Does the US Constitution authorize the Federal Government to do xyz?"

    If the answer was no, he would vote no. Just like he took an oath to do.

    FIFY.

    Let me be clear . . . when I say "watch the meltdown," I don't mean watch the country melt down when an ZOMG Real Libbutarian is elected president and immediately abolishes the IRS and puts us on the gold standard, I mean watch the meltdown when the well-intentioned but naive Paulistas watch Big Baby Jesus turn into a run-of-the-mill Republican.

    I have serious doubts about Rand Paul's authenticity. I had none about Ron Paul.

    But you didn't answer my question. What is it that makes you think he is a joke?

    I'll start with the obvious. Does he get elected to the United States Senate if his name is Rand Jones, ophthalmologist?

    I assume she has to be, because she will likely be our next President and Julio assures me she is an intellectual juggernaut to Rand Paul.

    The thread is titled Rand Paul ---- not Hillary Clinton.

    Comparing Rand Paul as a public servant next to HRC is preposterously stupid. Like comparing a Toyota Prius to a tricycle.
    Ones record of public service goes back to the 1970's the other is an Ophthalmologist bitching to his neighbor that his taxes are too high. (I paraphrase)
    Maybe the tiniest bit of research will tell you the "scandals" HRC was supposed to be involved in were the 1990's equivalent of Obama's birth certificate.
    Again this thread is titled Rand Paul

    and this concerning Dr Pauls medical practice:

    Other than a free advertisement for his practice, that article says as close to nothing as could be possible. Another great source from Fitty.

    Yeah, she has experience but is that a good thing? I guess if you love the status quo. Experience can be good or bad, depending on your political viewpoints.

    Indeed. Many years of massive government peddling and failed policies and scandals is not a good thing.

    It's nice to finally have some fresh blood in the system.

    of course it was an ad for his practice! The words are from his website --
    and where does Dr Paul draw a paycheck? For how long? (how you missed that in the articles is beyond me)

    Again, your above statement proves your ignorance on the subject of HRC. And if I re read my above words they say a record of public service not experience in government. There is a difference
    Before becoming a TeaPary darling, what if anything did Dr Paul contribute? Was he on any service boards or volunteer organizations? Work any outreach programs? Design any type of child care programs? Or even do Pro-Bono Ophthalmology?
    which leaves as noted above - his qualifications for the US Senate amounted to his being a flake- niche Texas Congressman's son. A Congressman with a past connected to hate groups in fact. But hey, money is money.

    I believe in the words of Ayn Rand - Rand Paul would be a "taker" which to my mind would qualify him to be as Julio put it --- a "joke"

    Massive Government Peddling?


    Failed Policies?


    Scandals?

    Fresh Blood in The System?

    you can fill in the blanks at your leisure or keep proving you have no business in the deep end of the pool

    I'll look into and get back to you. Perhaps she is some genius that I just have missed over the years.
    Yeah, please report back. I'm waiting with bated breath here. I can't wait to hear how you spin her 40 year political, legal, and business career into someone achieved by an incompetent moron. I'm sure you'll bring some real, hard-hitting analysis and insight.

    It's nice to finally have some fresh blood in the system.
    Yes, it sure is swell to have these fresh ideas like "taxes are bad," "states' rights," and "the gold standard." Just some innovative stuff right there. I can't believe it took so long for someone to suggest them. Things are really gonna change, boy I tell you what.

    How do you define success & failure? Just to be simplistic: If Obama was able to raise the minimum wage to $15/hr, I would see that as a major failure while liberals would be dancing in the streets. If Rand Paul was elected and abolished the federal minimum wage, I would see that as a success and liberals wouldn't.

    I don't deny HRC has been a major relevant political figure the past 2-3 decades, but success can be subjective.
