I can’t think of anyone more full of shit than Rand Paul.

He’s definitely in a category of his own.

To be fair, he is right that he has done his part on some issues, but his hyperbole is laughable.

Nobody did more for the Jews than Hitler. OK. Bit of hyperbole.

“Saving” minorities from bad treatment in stores and restaurants by allowing White-loving merchants to ban them? “Defending” minorities interests by not bringing up replacements for the sections of the Voting Rights Act struck down by the Supreme Court? I guess “down” is really “up” in parts of the Bluegrass State

The man who said he could not support the civil rights act of 1964 is what…He needs to repeat that again I don’t think I heard him correctly.

Rand Paul is a liar and a snake.

That’s not exactly a working analogy. I despise the guy too, but that doesn’t mean I can’t say he did a good thing with some of his proposals.

Rand, allowing private companies to set their own rules about who they will and will not serve is typically not considered minority rights.
Unless the minority you are talking about is racist business owners, and you’re defending their “rights”. In that case, you are probably correct.

Is the reply more dumb Rand remarks or more Rand dumb remarks?

I can- Ted Cruz. But it’s a close call; both are slimy pieces of steaming shit hell bent on screwing everyone but their mega-rich masters.
My gawd, the TV commercials write themselves.
Clip of “nobody’s a bigger defender of Minority Rights in Clowngress than me”, juxtaposed right next to “I wouldn’t vote for the Civil Rights Act”.
If this guy is some peoples’ idea of a great politician that can win in America, they are fucking nuts!

Well, he did build the autobahns. AND he was a much better
painter than Churchill.

I’m not sure what he’s actually done. He talks a lot about legalizing drugs but he acknowledges that black folks don’t use drugs at higher rates than whites so there must be some other reason why they have higher incarceration rates.
It’s good that he wants people to be able to overcome felony convictions but employers are now running credit checks on prospective employees. I wonder where he stands on that?

He talks a line doesn’t he? But is actions are those of a politician. A formula embracing Republican ( Paul has an “R” not an “L” after his name ) reliant on every scam and trick in the GOP’er book.
He is NOT exceptional. He is NOT original. He is a rank and file Pol.

Nah…he’s run of the mill full of shit. The “libertarian” thing is a scam just like it was with his daddy. He a devious Conservative. Dig into any of his libertarian efforts and you’ll find the pro-corporate big money Conservative effort it really is. He’s a better con artist than his father but take a close look and you’ll see right through the creep.

To be fair, he’d be OK if he said he was the Repubs’ biggest defender of minority rights, but that’s only because he would be the Repubs’ only rep who even mentions minority rights (other than those of course, who lament the threat to minority rights but consider whites to be the minority). Other than that, his bark is bigger than his bite.

Shorter Rand Paul:
“I don’t think”
Really? Why does this phoney think the Federal Government should interfere with the individual State’s policies? Most felony convictions are done in State courts and the life long effects of that conviction are enshrined in State law. More phony shit from the “states rights” Paul.
