What is the #1 accomplishment of Rand Paul?

And he should have stuck with his first career . . .

are the only things I know about him. Everything I've seen makes him out to be a total idiot or tool for the GOP.

Are you going to Glassman's office opening today?

It would help if I could find my keys... (just kidding, but that's kinda where I'm at right now!)

It's the end of the school year and I have a lot of stuff to finish up. I'm debating....

McConnell had his own pal picked for that job and the Rand effort upended it in a big and public way.

Thick as the Republicans are, even a few of their leadership knows that if the Baggers can upend the Senate Minority Leader they will be emboldened to strike elsewhere, splitting resources and loyaltiies among GOP primary voters.

Which would be fine with me. May chaos rain on their heads.

McChinless has been tap dancing with the baggers and the wingnuts since he became leader. He's seen the party...where he was once the unhinged right move even further right and more unhinged. We're already hearing grumbling of how Mitchie isn't "conservative enough". Boner also is starting to take some heat...no matter how unhinged they try to be, their not the "true believers".

If the GOOP fails to retake the Senate this year (probable) watch for Mitchie to get challenged by a DeMint...whose worked hard the past two years to be the teabagger's favorite Senator. Even if the GOOP somehow does win the Senate, Mitchie could face a challenge as those elected will be further to the right and will probably have the power to take over party leadership.

door of their party and now the Baggers and kooks and crazies are drinking up all the good booze.

McConnell just does not strike me as the Zorro type. He can no more stop their ascent than Lincoln and is no less dead.

DeMInt. O my god. I wish that sounded way off, but it doesn't.

:hi:

They are Frankenstein's Monster coming home to kill their creator.

Hopefully Rand Paul has burst that bubble for all time

Now? Not so much.

Libertarianism, just like conservative extremism, is a cult and their members have most of the same cult-like thoughts, allegiances and behaviors.

Rand Paul is political toast.

they are Republicans who want to smoke dope and get laid LOL

from Bill Maher we don't think he has blinded anyone with his laser surgery. YET.

Making DU'ers have conniption fits and throwing them into hysterical rants about a minor wannabe who would otherwise be destined for the dustbin of politics.

SSDD

unless you are okay with it?

Gotcha. :eyes:

You'd think this guy was the second coming of Ronald Reagan the way threads about him dominate GD. There are probably more Rand Paul threads on Page 1 than there are threads about the Gulf oil leak.

That will be the big question for Kentucky voters in November.

Which is why I won't vote for him. I want a politician who'll loot the more prosperous states for the purpose of enriching me and my fellow Bluegrass buddies.

Time for the rest of US to pony up and float our boat with their money.

in his mouth.

and yet still be able to smirk about the virtues of rugged individualism.

(and before you get up all in my face, no I don't actually know whether his father actually paid for his college, and that isn't really the point -- it's that through no effort of his own, he was born into a family that was able to provide a good education to him)

It's crazy that we haven't had this debate lately.

:rofl:

He's the new Sarah! :rofl:
