Holy shit....Rand Paul is just....fuck....crazy

[PVnRT]

He's giving his victory speech now. Obama is cozy and buddy-buddy with Morales, Chavez and Mugabe....because he went to Copenhagen and "apologized" or some such shit.

Good luck, Randroid. Good luck telling a bunch of poor Kentucky farmers that their farm subsidies are eeeeeeeeeeeevil.

[MinneapolisMatt]

1. Recc'd for the title alone.

:rofl:

[tosh]

7. I'll second that!

:rofl:

[glinda]

42. I will third that. When he said "I have a message from the Tea-Party" he sounds

like an alien or a psycho. He is bat shit scary.

[charlie and algernon]

2. Obama apparently apologized for the f-ing INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

:crazy:

I suddenly feel very good about the Democrats chances at winning the senate seat in Kentucky, lol!

[KingFlorez]

3. Exactly, conservative as many in Kentucky are, they can't afford to lose subsidy

His ideology might not play well for him.

[Chulanowa]

40. If it's a Republican selling, they'll buy it

Conservatives love voting against their own self-interest, after all. Makes 'em feel like martyrs.

[EFerrari]

4. He is crazy. Obama actually pretty much insulted Morales

at Copenhagen which is why Bolivia hosted a huge People's Climate Summit.

[PVnRT]

5. It's not capitalism, it's government that needs to be regulated? Whafuck?

I'd be happy for this rambling piece of batfuckcrazy, but the wingnuts are lapping it up like spilled bourbon on the Senate floor.

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. He'll take KY back to prehistoric times....

....if he's elected in the fall.

I hope Kentuckians are smart enough to know it's coming, with this guy.

[CherokeeDem]

8. I Live In Kentucky

I am hiding in the corner of closet hoping Paul will go away. I vote for Conway...this state will be filled with crazy tea baggers and Sarah Pallin...oh...hell...

[PVnRT]

12. So do I, I was watching on KET

[Ikonoklast]

34. More registered Dems in Kentucky than Pubs.

Here's hoping Rand scares those in the middle enough with his loony ideas.

[Clio the Leo]

9. got a link? NT

[PVnRT]

13. No link, on KET (Kentucky PBS) live now, just ended

[PVnRT]

10. "Congress shall pass no law not applicable to themselves"

What the shit, Randy? Are Congresscreatures not Americans now? Yes, the health care reform bill applies to the House, because it doesn't really do much to their already excellent health coverage. Nor anyone else's, you goddamn malformed trollish son of a demon. Go back to writing eyeglass prescriptions in Bowling Green, shitheel.

[rufus dog]

11. I knew a girl in college who was just .... fuck....crazy

but I expect you have a different definition.

[Dr Morbius]

19. Name? Number? (nt)

[PVnRT]

14. Summary: I'm Rand Paul, yay teabaggers, Obama is evil, I'm an idiot

As a commentator mentioned, he didn't even mention the Republican party, it was all about teabagging, and not in a remotely kind-of hot gay porn way. And he pretty much told anyone to the left of Milton Friedman that he doesn't give a shit, and he won't "moderate" his extremist fascist, isolationist bullshit.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

24. Even his father doesn't spew this kind of vitriol. He certainly does sound like a nut.

I wonder how the Indies are going to take to his idea that military spending should be halted while we're embroiled in two wars.

[glitch]

27. His father has learned to keep his batshit in the closet. Well, mostly.

I am being very generous with "mostly" and expect disagreement on it.

OT Does Rand have a sister named Ayn? Just curious.

[pinto]

15. LOL. We were represented at Copenhagen, along with these other attendees -

In the COP 15 negotiations, Russia only pledged to make a 10% to 15% reduction below 1990 levels by 2020 as part of a commitment to the Kyoto Protocol, but said that it would reduce emissions by 20% to 25% as part of an agreement on long-term cooperative action.<20>

[Stables2010]

16. Hes got to keep those teabaggers filling the coffers.

I know his pops would have never said anything like that, I dont know about this Rand guy yet. But I guess you got to dance with trolls who brought you.

[troubledamerican]

17. Google RAND PAUL + SARAH PALIN

He supports her, she supports him.

Tea Party ticket 2012.

[glitch]

28. Sweet! The Mad Tea Party escapes from Wonderland!

They should draw off a lot of Bush/Cheney 2012 (the nightmare continues with Jeb and Baby Dick) voters.

[zulchzulu]

18. Teatardism is a short-sighted form of madness

The Paul family provides lot of entertainment.

[Jennicut]

20. Look at the crazy.....

Look where he got it from:



Explains it all.

[depakid]

22. That's straight from central casting!

:rofl:

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

21. You mean, he's crazier than his father? His father would be more attractive if...

he wasn't so socially conservative; wasn't a racist; and leaves the GOP.

On some issues, he actually makes sense. But that shit about how we didn't need to have civil rights legislation and constitutional protections for women and minorities. Well, that's just "bullpucky," as Rachel Maddow would say.

[niceypoo]

23. That is the only way someone like himself can survive, politically

Hop on board the crazy train

[greymattermom]

25. Ft. Knox? Ft. Campbell?

There's a lot of military spending in Kentucky. TVA too. They should ask him if he wants to close Ft. Knox and drain Kentucky Lake.

[greymattermom]

26. Give back the federal money?

Kentucky makes a big profit on their tax contribution. Fact checkers should just go through the list and start asking Rand what he wants to give back, one thing at a time.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

29. Paul could be Congressman for the Raving Loony Party! The RLP

I think the GOP are probably secretly worried what is happening!!

[glitch]

30. He sounds drugged.

Or lobotomized. :scared:

[Kingofalldems]

31. I imagine he also wants to deregulate the coal industry

[WeDidIt]

32. There are 8 Kentucky counties having second thoughts about Obama

after he declared them federal disaster areas because of the floods.

Lots of soul searching going on in Kentucky and Tennessee these days.

[zulchzulu]

33. Did you think the spawn of Ron Paul would be any less nuts?

Rand Paul needs to drum up his Teatardology as much as possible so that he will be a laughing stock as well as the Teatard "Movement".

[polichick]

35. Thank goodness he's crazy - easier for us to beat! nt

[Dr.Phool]

36. Jim Bunning was batshit crazy.

I think Kentucky loves themselves some crazy folks.

[polichick]

37. Well, maybe it won't work to our advantage but I sure hope it does. nt

[TheKentuckian]

38. He's super KrAzY and is ideologically exposed in some key areas

like SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, and those subsidies that won't play too terribly well with some of the most likely voters. I also don't think the anti-public school sentiment has much roots either.

No question there is a pretty strong libertarian strand here which can have an appeal even in the suburbs but I think that can be countered by letting (and pressing) Randroid express himself about his vision of government and by Conway not letting himself get trapped into sounding ignorant on fiscal matters.

[stevietheman]

39. Please America, give to Jack Conway's campaign!

He's the one running against Ayn Rand Paul...

[randr]

41. He wants his government back?

By gaining a shot at a seat in Kentucky?
He is lucky he lives in a democracy where he can at least have his voice heard!

[livetohike]

43. I want someone to ask him where does he think his

government went? You never get an answer from the idiots who nonsensically repeat this phrase. Now for some reason "Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?" is running through my head :eyes:

[randr]

44. Good one

And that he calls a few thousand vote win in Kentucky HUGE is pure arrogance.

[Yoda74]

45. What an ass Rand Paul is.

I would love for someone to ask that douche bag what he would do to a business that discriminates against people. He seems to forget that private businesses are still protected by police and firemen. They still have the roads and sidewalks in front of their businesses paved. I'd tell all these far-right loons they better sit in front of their business all night with a gun in one hand and a hose in the other because they aren't getting any help from our PUBLIC servants. His wife smiles dumbly behind him probably not realizing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 also protects her EEO rights. Does she wants to be discriminated against by a PRIVATE business that refuses to hire her because she's a woman? What I definitely don't understand is why he wants to repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act when he and his wife both seem a little mentally disabled.

[dmr]

46. Great first post! Welcome to DU!
