Chronologically he’s 52. Emotionally, he’s about 10.
Just ask his mommy.
Mean mainstream media. Now leave poor little Randy alone…
He wants to be President and everyone knows its a really hard job.
Its even harder than being a big strong fireman.

“Because it’s not really a lot of fun.”

Strange, because Lincoln was totally in it for the laughs…

The thing that scares me about Ayn-Boy is that I really don’t have any feel for how the crazy shit that comes out of his mouth after his five minutes of seemingly sane sentences have been depleted sound to the disengaged, uninformed halfwit “independent swing voters” who decide all presidential elections in this nation whenever there’s no gigantic Republican-engineered clusterfuck driving the vote.

…so he’s been led to believe by the hair-voices.

OK… he’s a self made loony.

Running for President is not fun

Because it’s not as easy to fleece the nation as it is the local rubes that voted for you?

I do think folks ought to give him more credit for his willingness to work across the aisle.

Sen. Coons, allow me to introduce you to the Paul Family Five Minute Rule, wherein any member of the Paul family may sound reasonable for precisely five minutes. Then, at the 5:01 mark, they will let loose with a bug-eyed crazy screed that will immediately relax ones jaw muscles and cause ones eyes to dart for the nearest exit. It’s just a thing they do.

‘Do you have a chance? Is the message resonating? Do people believe that you can somehow win this?’"
NO, NO, AND NOT A SNOWBALL’S CHANCE.

“I’ve been an adult and on my own for 30-some odd years”, said Senator Paul, as he fed a carrot to the dead platypus resting on top of his head, “but I’ve been an asshole even longer which, of course, more than qualifies me to run as the Republican candidate for President in 2016. Now excuse me, as I have to give a speech on economic populism before I go back into the Senate next week and vote for more tax cuts for the rich.”

And your message IS resonating, Randy, because now I think you are an even bigger dickhead than you were 5 minutes ago. Maybe you should ask your political consultants if there is any possible way for you to run a campaign without ever having to open your mouth.
Oh, and get used to Daddy Ron being your virtual twin, because we are going to hang him around your neck like an albatross.

Rand’s skin is far too thin to survive a national campaign. I suspect he breaks down the tent fairly early, probably right after a dismal performance in SC. He is going to be a freaking pinata for rest of the GOP field during the debates…because everyone knows how easily he is to manipulate. Verbally taunt him, then punch him once in the nose and watch him retreat…all the while crying about how unfair he is being treated.

Before Bridgegate broke, Christie had him dancing like a puppet on strings. I am sure every other potential candidate took note and will do exactly the same.

"I think Rand Paul has developed into a fine United States senator and has evolved over the last four years…

From the same people who accused then-Senator Obama of not being “mature” enough to be President. Please. The hypocrisy and lies just never stop, do they?

“I’ve been elected to the Senate for four years. I think I’m pretty much am able to stand on my own two feet and be judged for who I am.”

“I attempt every day to present my views in a very honest and forthright way. And I think I achieve that.”

He could start by being honest about the fact that he wouldn’t be in the Senate if he hadn’t rode in on his daddy’s coattails.

C’mon you guys. Rand is trying to have fun. Stop pissing in his Cheerios.

Senator Paul wants to be honest Abe. First, let’s get this thing about your education and board certification settled, shall we? Now, where did you get your undergrad degree? Now is that ‘degree’ in Biology or English or did you have a dual major? Again, this board certificate you display, is that a national organization or familial one? Where did you get that stupid looking hairpiece?

Rand, Rand, Rand if you want to be seen as honest and forthright you have to tell the truth the first time and every time.

tsk tsk tsk

Which 30-some years? And why did he quit after all that time?
