Rand Paul will be on Rachel Maddow's program tonight

[eleny]

Just heard it on MSNBC.

[NotThisTime]

1. I can't wait to watch... Have the popcorn ready...

[GoneOffShore]

4. And the sponges and buckets

That's going to be a bloodletting.

[eleny]

7. Amen

[emulatorloo]

2. Interesting -- thanks for the heads up! n/t

[WeDidIt]

3. She should ask him if he believes Barack Obama was born in Hawaii

that should alienate him from a lot of people.

[eleny]

5. And what big government agencies he'd eliminate if he had the chance

[stray cat]

8. He has already mentioned the department of education I think

and numerous others. He has ideas.

[eleny]

11. That's what I heard

If he shares his father's views, there's more he would do away with. I'm hoping Rachel will delve into this. The elderly of Kentucky need to learn just who this guy really is and what are his goals.

[GoneOffShore]

21. He has ideas - none of them good.

[gateley]

13. And about decriminalizing pot. I forget who I heard (progressive talk radio) say

there's a laundry list of Paul's stances about which most of those people are unaware. :evil:

[Upton]

26. Thom Hartmann said Paul is for legalizing pot..

[gateley]

15. And about decriminalizing pot. I forget who I heard (progressive talk radio) say

there's a laundry list of Paul's stances about which most of those people are unaware. :evilgrin:

Edit: You know, everybody makes typos and we all understand, but a typo in a smiley is really embarrassing.

[eleny]

22. LOL!

[Ikonoklast]

17. Ask him directly if he would vote against farm subsidies, yes or no.

Watch him either outright lie, or equivocate.

[eleny]

23. Then Rachel could come back tomorrow with videos and such

I figure that she has them collected already. Then when one of these whack jobs lies to her she can come back another day to nail them with their own statements.

[abelenkpe]

6. Ugh.

I hate it when she gives time to libertarians. I hope she asks tough questions.

[gateley]

9. Wow - THIS will be the interview w/Paul that will really get somewhere. Thanks!! nt

[LLStarks]

14. I expect her to tear him apart and portray him as someone who has warped libertarianism. nt

[jefferson_dem]

19. I think he will portary himself in that way.

She only has to prod him along ... enabling him to reveal his true colors.

[gateley]

20. And she'll do it respectfully and calmly. She's sooooo good at that. nt

[bullwinkle428]

10. Jack Conway's people need to go over this thing 100 times

with a fine-toothed comb, and create their entire ad campaign around it!! :woohoo:

[eleny]

12. Hopefully it'll be soundbite central

[gateley]

16. Amen. And the "target audience" who usually wouldn't watch Rachel may tune

in to see their new leader.

[eleny]

24. Good point!

At least they would tune in hoping she will look bad. Rarely happens that she gets blotchy, though. :D

[gateley]

28. No she doesn't -- and she doesn't sound whiny or snarky like so many of them

do. I've seen her, when the guest tap danced away from a question, bring him back to it POLITELY saying, I'm going to get this question answered. I can hardly wait!

[jefferson_dem]

18. This ought to be some good teevee.

We all know how Rachel does her homework and is an aggressive (but fair) interviewer.

On the other side, Rand is a political freakshow and has very limited "politically correctness" acumen. I suspect he will just throw it all out there.

:popcorn: ready. Looking forward...

[eleny]

25. Oh me too, me too. I'm ready for the slice 'n dice.

[ThomWV]

27. And he will be treated with respect and we will know more about him after the interview than before

Because Rachel is the best - the very best!
