...voting to have the government force rape victims to give birth to their attacker's baby:
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) refused to say whether he supports legal abortion in cases of rape and incest in a Wednesday interview with The Associated Press and scolded the reporter who pressed him on it.
The senator added, "I've supported both bills with and without (exceptions), you know. In general, I am pro-life. So I will support legislation that advances and shows that life is special and deserves protection."

and:
In Iowa, where Paul will campaign Friday, Rev. Terry Amann of Walnut Creek Community Church near Des Moines said he saw no place for equivocation.
"I'm interested in finding a presidential candidate who is ready to die on the hill of pro-life," said Amann, whose endorsement is sought by presidential candidates in the state's opening caucuses. "No exceptions. No ambiguity."

(38,613 posts)1. Bill Maher is endorsing Paul? I find that hard to believe.
Aside from the obvious pot thing, I've only seen him make fun of Rand and his kooky dad.
It's only a matter of time before Paul decides he's pro-war on drugs too

Each time declaring his previous comments off limits.

and has pushing that "He's a different kind of Republican" line and has said he'd consider voting for him over Hillary Clinton.
