DEAN: I actually believe this disqualifies Rand Paul from becoming President of the United States. If you're a physician and you say what he just said, then you are clearly willing to override any set of facts that you ought to know.

It's one thing for Christie to blunder his way through this and try to pander. For Rand Paul to deny his entire education as a physician, I assume he went to a good medical school and knows something about medicine, that is truly appalling and he, a guy like that should never be let near the White House.

. . .and that's the long and short of it.

[lame54]

18. Agreed

[leftieNanner]

10. Isn't Rand Paul a SELF certified doctor?

A Quack and an idiot.

[lame54]

11. what does that even mean...

"I'm a pro football player"

"I'm a classically trained violinist"

"I'm a Dr."

He's a jackass

[Ykcutnek]

14. I've noticed a lot of anti-vaxxers have had kind words to say about Rand in the past.

Interesting correlation.

[blue neen]

15. Go Dr. Dean!

Love him!

[mnhtnbb]

17. I've been waiting for the good Dr. Dean to step up on this issue.

Good for him.

Good grief. Just looked up Rand Paul's med school: Duke. OMG. Maybe they'll withdraw
his MD. Yeah, right.

[malaise]

19. K & R

for truth

[lame54]

20. The truth is...

That dead squirrel on top of his head disqualifies him to be president

but I'll take this too

[malaise]

21. Bwaaaaaaaaaah hahahahha

[SnakeEyes]

22. I think this is the wrong way to go about this

As I had said for a long time, we need to go all out when these people say and do stupid things but we have to make sure we are honest when doing so or we will fail to persuade because we leave open immediate and reactive defenses with merit. We should be focusing on Paul repeating anecdotal "evidence" that has no scientific basis without going so far as to falsely accuse him of being anti-vaccine. Too many places have provided his full comments and people know he supports vaccines and thinks everybody should get them.

[lame54]

23. so he is obviously pandering

[LynneSin]

24. Isn't Randy an Eye Doctor?

Which you know, means his area of expertise is all things related to the eyes?
