And as we saw in the event in Iowa, Mr. Paul can flee really, really, really fast when he wants to.
Why, I bet he could even beat Paul Ryan in a marathon.

The operative term here is “flees.”

Senator Paul invents the PalinBurger (a burger you stop eating halfway thru) while wearing my favorite 5th grade shirt from the distant past.

Rand Paul put down his burger after taking one bite and literally fled the scene.
Yeah, but it was a really big bite. And besides, he managed to scoop up his drink to wash it down with as he fled.
Ron Paul isn’t fleeing anything. He’s attempting to flee his past positions but his political opponents, both left and right, won 't allow that to happen.

if the republican idiots want to impeach Obama, then impeach him for the right issue not for some bullcrap - impeach Obama for breaking the constitution and using gov’t to spy on the American people
It will be interesting to see just how avidly the other republicans go after him. And just as interesting will be watching how he handles it…which my bet is, he does so very badly.
It always amazes me how republicans, in the age of Youtube, are so convinced they can just ignore all past statements, as if by force of will alone they can overcome technology and make it all disappear.

To those liberals who swoon over Rand Paul because drones and weed, I hope you read every word in this article. The guy you think is a reasonable Republican, one who is right on some issues, is a shameless, lying piece of shit who will literally say anything to get elected. Weed and voting rights for felons shouldn’t trump the social safety net, addressing income inequality, immigration reform, women’s reproductive rights, LGBT rights, etc. If this man gets anywhere near the WH I will move out of the country as it will no longer be safe in this country for women and certainly not people of color. The man is a monster,
ETA: Can we stop with lines like “reality is less simple”? No, the reality is that Paul is either lying about his past positions or he has some sort of mental condition in which he’s forgetting his past stances. Either way, he’s unfit to be a US Senator, let alone president.

he’s pulling a Romney
In my 40 years of voting there are several Republicans that I have watched who have exuded a kind of “intelligent malignancy,” If I didn’t exactly admire them, I was at least impressed with their malicious cunning. Richard Nixon is among them. Phil Gramm and Jesse Helms come to mind. Paul doesn’t strike me as being either particularity malignant [other than is usual for being a typical GOPTP hack] or intelligent. In fact, he strikes me as being quite ordinary. His use of language is mediocre at best. He was never really successful in his chosen profession. He had to declare himself certified by starting up a opthamalogical certification business which later collapsed.
In the spring of 2010 stories first swirled around Sen. Rand Paul’s certification as an ophthalmologist by an outfit called the “National Ophthalmology Board,” an entity he founded. This week I discovered that while he continues to present himself as “board certified” the NOB has been out of business since 2011, and in any event, does not under Kentucky law permit him to advertise as “board certified.” - Jennifer Rubin, November, 2013
As others have pointed out, he’s not very artful in dealing with personal past, inconsistencies.
So, libertarian, schlibertarian. What he is, is a poseur, a flim-flam man, a liar (of course). In fact, his biggest asset as a politician is that he’s a white male. And nowadays, for Republicans, that counts a lot.

When I was a little girl living in the rural south, the biggest thing each year was the fair. One of the events that everyone looked forward to was the greased pig contest. They would take piglets and coat them with lard (yes, lard) then let them loose, one by one, in a pen. Individual adolescent males would then try to catch them within a certain time frame and the fastest would win ribbons. The pigs would run all over the place and squirm and squeal when the boys tried to grab them. As they used to say, the piglets were “slicker than snot” so few were caught.
This image comes to mind when I see these reprobates trying to unsay what they said: greased pig squirming and squealing and trying not to get caught.

Rand continues to embrace “Newt-onian” tactics by suggesting that anyone who has the temerity to quote him is a damned liar.

Just like Romnerd and his flip flopping, Ryand has labels that won’t leave him. He is definitely trying to erase what he is and replace it with a newer better version and he is a serial plagiarizer that doesn’t really have any thoughts of his own.
His persona is that of a squirrel and no matter what pops out of his lying pie-hole he can’t change that. America isn’t ready for the first dweeb President. Hillary will be the first woman and likely a Castro will be the first Latino, dweebs are so far down the list that we should probably be worrying about transgendered aliens more than fuzzy headed geeks.
