I'm surprised Rand Paul doesn't trip over his knuckles when he walks

from Grist:



Rand Paul doesn’t mind mountaintop mining and doesn’t want climate action

The Sierra Club is bashing Rand Paul, the Republican Senate candidate in Kentucky, over the head with his own words. A new video shows him dismissing concerns about mountaintop-removal mining ("I don’t think anybody is going to be missing a hill or two here and there") and accusing President Barack Obama of cozying up to "petty dictators" at the Copenhagen climate conference and "apologizing for the industrial revolution."

Watch the video: http://www.grist.org/article/2010-09-21-rand-paul-mountaintop-mining-climate-action/

1. Paul is only parroting how most libertarians, conservatives and teabaggers

really feel and think about the environment and the survival of wildlife in our world. If regulations have or will negatively affect the growth and profitability of capitalism, then they are of course, completely opposed to it...ie.."small government".

3. And also

Rand has said that no non-violent offense should be a crime !!! Think about that. That is one reason why the police support Conway. There are now a lot of the typical Rethug ads running here and Grover's group, Americans for Tax Freedom, have been chiming in. If you have a chance, please make a contribution to Jack Conway. I would prefer he was more progressive, but he is at least reasonable and capable man. Thanks.
