Joe Scar just mentioned Ron Paul is passing his POWER to Rand, his rookie Senator son...did't

[opihimoimoi]

we all suspect this last year....

Rand will not last past his term if he keeps up his plans to mess with SS and MedCare MedCade.

What are those Texans thinking??? Damn....

[lunatica]

1. It may sound like Joe Scarborough knows what he's talking about but

it's really only his opinion, written by someone else.

[think]

2. No big thing but Rand is from Kentucky

[opihimoimoi]

3. my bad...what are those Kentucky peeps thinking??? Damn...

cheers...happy noo year

[CherokeeDem]

7. This Kentucky Peep....

didn't vote for the bastard...and I ask myself everyday what the hell were the people of this state thinking.

Biggest problem, our very good AG...Jack Conway, was just too green a candidate and had horrid campaign management. The race was lost in the last couple of weeks after a very stupid commercial attacking Rand Paul for a college situation. Granted a woman said she was 'detained' by Rand and a friend...if I remember correctly, she recanted later...all a college prank but the damage was done to Conway for taking that route. Internals had him ahead at time. Really, really bad campaign management.

15. Sad for the Blue Grass Horsey State...The Derby will never be the same after Rand bankrupts

this Nation with his screwy notions and ideas ....

Like his dad Ron.... Rand is bull headed and of low realm count...not enough lifes experiences for the Senate slot...

he is a rookie in a series position.....this is not like it supposed to be...

He is a child in a 747 cockpit...

[surfdog]

4. I also heard him say

That he didn't want his son's career ruined

Sounds like the RNC was going to ruin rand Paul's career if Ron Paul ran a third party

[opihimoimoi]

5. With these guys one never knows...tis sad for the Nation we have these distractions of delusional

concepts....

6. "mess with SS and MedCare MedCade."

The problem is not so much with SS as it is with Medicare and Medicaid.

Everyone knows (or should know) that non-discretionary (entitlement) spending is unsustainable as currently structered.

But neither side wants to "go first," with respect to doing something about it.
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/02/gop-to-obama-on-entitlement-reform-no-seriously-you-go-first/

So, there is no doubt that they will simply continue to kick that can down the street until they arrive at the dead-end. Their solution to the problem is very similar to playing musical chairs. They don't plan to be around when the music stops playing.

The question is: where will the rest of us be?

12. WE need a kinder gentler approach to our social systems...the GOPers ain't it....

[Thaddeus Kosciuszko]

13. As it is, the problem is the lack of any sort of approach, "kinder gentler," or otherwise.

And the longer they wait, the less "kinder and gentler" is will be.

[opihimoimoi]

14. Roger that...but the OBSTRUCTIONIST GOPers are in the way....damn those guys

[Little Star]

8. Salon had a write up about this..

I made a post on it the other day.

Here is the link to Salon: http://www.salon.com/2012/01/06/ron_pauls_long_game/

[opihimoimoi]

11. Thanx for the link....it confirms Pauls long game.....we are stuck with him for 6 years

[RoccoR5955]

9. Rand is

a one term teabagger. That's it. He's done!

[opihimoimoi]

10. I hope so....he is a cancer on America

[SunsetDreams]

16. What power?

the power to be an idiot?

the power to be insane?

the power to blow hot air out of the wrong orifice?

[Blue_Tires]

17. "Passing power??" Don't make me laugh

Paul can't pass what he doesn't have

[opihimoimoi]

19. I agree but they are trying....son Rand was with dad on the stage and in later TV shows allowing him

sell his sorry ass story to the Public...

He is scarey....so sad to see him in the Senate....he does not bear good fruit

[Major Hogwash]

18. Did Ron Paul give Rand his magic wand and the hypocritical oath, too?

While they both ridiculed Medicare and Medicaid, they made their living from it!

[opihimoimoi]

20. Yes...I agree...but, there he was on Faux who allowed him free time, 3o min or so, to brainwash

the easily fooled... its pathetic
