“I mean, this idiot says the same thing about my speeches,” Paul told WaPo. “Do I need to say in my speech, as many people attribute to Thomas Jefferson, but some people dispute, before I give the quote? It’s idiocy, it’s pedantry – it’s ridiculous stuff from partisan hacks. And I’d say that guy’s one of ‘em.”
Fortunately for all of you, I speak GOP asshat language, fluently. What Mr. Blonde Pube Head is saying here is “Just leave me alone and let me lie! I want to lie! Let me lie!!!”

I suspect a copy of his stump speech looks just like a teen girl’s facebook timeline complete with kitty gifs.

LOL. Lincoln, a dirty old man in a top hat and trench coat. Right, Rand?
Wow! In Republican world, apparently there’s no such thing as accepted facts. Everything is up for grabs. Throw out the textbooks, they lie! Don’t listen to Professors, they have a well known liberal bias!
And if you have to defend yourself, you just claim “Religious Freedom”. That’s your get out of jail free card from having to use reason to back up your opinion.

" Paul told WaPo. “Do I need to say in my speech, as many people attribute to Thomas Jefferson, but some people dispute, before I give the quote?”
Uhh, yes. That is what not playing fast and loose with facts looks like, Rand.
To be fair, repeating stuff some idiot pulled from his ass that he said Jefferson said is an improvement over Paul’s lifting of actual material from others’ writings and taking credit for saying or writing it “first.” In the former case he is only plagiarizing BS.

Not surprising when you consider that he said the following on climate change: “That alarmist stuff really detracts from the case that we shouldn’t pollute,”
It is not working. He will never be president. He is maxed out as a political rube in a hick state full of rubes. Fake people prefer fake quotations to promote fake policies. Plus he wears fake hair.

The party’s voters don’t like Rand and don’t like any of the choices for nominee; they believe by a huge margin the part is divided and attribute it to gridlock. Yet they are hopeful about the future of the party which for me is a “go figure.” I’d be despondent if I were a repub looking at this group and definitely not hopeful. As a Democrat I’m tickled to death.

Rand Paul: Guys, it doesn’t matter who said what. I plagiarized and was caught red handed and I am running for president. Conservatives dont care. Media is controlled by us. We create our own facts. As long as my supporters are happy, I am ok. I just want a billionaire sugar daddy for my candidacy.

“… it’s pedantry”
That’s rich. When it comes to Republicans and their treatment of objective, factual truth, the word that applies is “pederasty.”

This letter should have been directed at the publisher. I mean, who publishes totally dishonest shit like this?
The publisher has responded, and it’s equally hilarious. Basically, they use the Colbert defense - you think it’s wrong because you looked it up in a book, when you should have looked it up in your gut instead:
Sophie Cottrell, the senior vice president of corporate communications at Hachette Book Group, sent BuzzFeed News the following statement on Tuesday:
The following statement in response to your post today can be attributed to James Randall Robison, who compiled and edited the material from the presidents:
Nothing here is “made-up” or otherwise manufactured. They are documented, even if the original account is disputed.
There are a handful of quotes that are debated by historians and academics, and many more that liberals desperately wish were not true. Sources are properly cited and most are older than those rejecting their veracity.
While we can argue about a couple of quotes, the vast majority reside in the federal government’s public record for all to view. Regardless of the nit-picking, one cannot deny that every single president has unashamedly and publicly acknowledged the role of God in our nation, thanking Him for his providence, seeking His guidance, and exalting His wisdom.
Hachette, of course, is the publisher who was inexplicably praised for suing Amazon over e-book pricing, which is why it’s now usually more expensive to buy an e-book than a paperback despite having zero physical production costs.
