Guess what guys, the other guy is worse. Just because Rand does not pass some sort of racial purity test you want to kill him, when the Democrat who is running against him is actually the worst of the two, by the standards that should matter to you.
The only reason the Democrats ever win an election is that Republicans are so fucking incmpetant a 4 year old can out think them. Does it mean anything to you that you can't? It certainly means something to the rest of the world. Which is why you are going home in Novemeber, unless you start focusing on the real issues.
Fuck, even the liberals are disgusted with liberals today.

Maddow and Paul agree on probably 90 per cent of the BIG issues confronting us, from ending the drug and Afghan war, to ending bail outs. But because of their own peculiar prejudices, his doctrinaire libertarian, hers PC progressive, neither of them can talk about anything other than a non-issue such as the Civil Rights Act of 19 -- SIXTY-FOUR. It's like a Dadaist play.
Its the easiest thing in the world for a grandstanding liberal to push a libertarian into a corner. Then theyll get praise for their unflinching courage, like Morris Dees South Poverty Law Center putting another hate group in the Index and waiting for the contributions to roll in.
Heres Maddow, brandishing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as though this is the only matter worth considering in the forthcoming race between Rand Paul and the Democrat, an awful neo-liberal prosecutor, Kentuckys current attorney general, Jack "I'm a Tough Son-of-a-Bitch" Conway. Between Conway and Paul, which one in the U.S. Senate would more likely be a wild card which is the best we can hope for these days likely to filibuster against a bankers bailout, against reaffirmation of the Patriot Act, against suppression of the CIAs full torture history? Paul, one would have to bet, and these are the votes that count, where one uncompromising stand by an outsider can make a difference, unlike the gyrations and last-ditch sell-outs of Blowhard Bernie Sanders. Liberals love grandstanding about what are, in practice, distractions. You think the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is going to come up for review in the U.S. Senate?
Fuck, even the liberals are disgusted with liberals today.
