Rand Paul Blames GOP Hawks, Bush For The Rise Of ISIS

[UCmeNdc]

Senator Rand Paul joined Morning Joe on MSNBC earlier today and bashed his fellow Republicans, including Sen. Graham as warmongers that have paved the way for the rise of ISIS in the middle east. Right wingers have been trying to rewrite George Bush's epic fail in Iraq and Afghanistan by blaming President Obama for the woes in the middle east, but Paul bucks that trend when it comes to ISIS.

1. Well, that is very nice..but he still sucks. I imagine he is hoping to win a niche in the field

of wackos and present himself as a liberty freedom blah blah blah candidate.

What a sewer of political representation.

2. Rand Paul seems to be saying the GOP policies are destroying the United States

How will the GOP handle this?

3. They can ignore him. They are already sick of his stunts. It is obvious to everyone, that he is

just a two-bit grifter. Broken clock moment, but it won't help the f'er.

4. He's a special kind of broken clock

He's right 4 to 6 times a day.

5. Libertarians

Because Libertarians like Paul straddle a divide that separates the Right from the Left, people like him are going to resonate with one side or the other at any given moment. That doesn't make people like them viable as candidates for either side but too often people seem surprised that they agree with an occasional position these people take for some reason. Think of a Venn diagram with two large circles with almost no overlap. That would be Conservatives and Liberals. Now imagine a small circle overlapping both large circles but a larger portion of the small circle overlaps the conservative circle. Now imagine Rand Paul's face in that small circle. I know, I know, his hair needs a circle of it's own. Libertarians cherry-pick popular positions that appeal to small groups of the electorate which generally receive little to no attention by the two main political parties. They're niche populists. They should never, ever gain power.
