Rand Paul for President

[g5000]

During the primaries, a GOP candidate must pass a trillion litmus tests which contradict each other. The GOP is positively schizophrenic these days.

An honest candidate would say, "I just want to be the guy spending all the money and running up the debt. And I want to be the one blowing up people on the other side of the planet."

That's what they actually do once in office. Doesn't matter what party they have after their name.

HILLARIEZ CUMMIN FER YER GUNZ!!!


I just wanted to be the first to toss that arms manufacturers and retailers industry sales pitch out there. Call it a trial balloon.

Democrats thought they would get an early start by Bashing Christie. Then they bashed Romney just in case he ran. Then they bashed Jeb Bush. They've been bashing Ted Cruz, just in case he ran. Now its Rand Paul. The standing ovations Paul got at Berkeley must have rattled them.

Yeah, the Democrats should just follow the lead of the GOP in how they've been so kind-hearted toward Hillary Clinton.

I would LOVE to see elections become issue-based. Ain't gonna happen. You can't blame one side "more than the other."

Well, you CAN - but it's just partisan hackery

 

[CrusaderFrank]

If you put a gun to my head and made me choose between Rand Paul or Rafael Cruz or whoever the Democrats nominate, I'd ask you to pull the fucking trigger.

try a 155mm howitzer

The Republican Establishment said the EXACT SAME THINGS about Reagan

I think the far right's reaction to Bundy's failure to pay his grazing fees for his cows on Public Land - is a joke.

I don't why these Democrat sheep post this crap about who might run for President

you know they're not going vote for them anyway

they pushed Hillary aside when she was eight years younger for some bozo from the crooked state government ever, Chicago Illinois...now they are praying for the old lady Hillary to come save them...

just pathetic

All private property should be nationalized and used the most effecient way according to progressive fascists....for the common good !!!!

The Republican Establishment said the EXACT SAME THINGS about Reagan

Reagan WAS the establishment.

Unless you want to try to argue that Caspar Weinberger, George Shultz, Ed Meese, James Baker, and Alexander Haig were all radicals.

From the Right-Wing Wall Street Journal:




Rand Paul for President

Because what the GOP needs is a humbling landslide defeat



Republicans, let's get it over with. Fast forward to the finish line. Avoid the long and winding primary road. It can only weaken the nominee. And we know who he—yes, he—has to be.

Not Jeb Bush, who plainly is unsuited to be president. He is insufficiently hostile to Mexicans. He holds heretical views on the Common Core, which, as we well know, is the defining issue of our time. And he's a Bush. Another installment of a political dynasty just isn't going to fly with the American people, who want some fresh blood in their politics.

Unless the dynasty is named Clinton. Or Kennedy. Or Nunn. Or Carter. Or, come to think of it, Paul. In that case, dynasties are just fine, thank you.

*snip*

No, what we need as the Republican nominee in 2016 is a man of more glaring disqualifications. Someone so nakedly unacceptable to the overwhelming majority of sane Americans that only the GOP could think of nominating him.

This man is Rand Paul, the junior senator from a state with eight electoral votes. The man who, as of this writing, has three years worth of experience in elected office. Barack Obama had more political experience when he ran for president.


*snip*


"When the Iraq war started, Halliburton got a billion-dollar no-bid contract. Some of the stuff has been so shoddy and so sloppy that our soldiers are over there dying in the shower from electrocution."

Then he gets to his real point: Dick Cheney, who opposed driving all the way to Baghdad when he was defense secretary in the first Bush administration, later went to work for Halliburton. "Makes hundreds of millions of dollars, their CEO. Next thing you know, he's back in government and it's a good thing to go into Iraq."

Mr. Paul's conclusion: "9/11 became an excuse for a war they already wanted in Iraq."

Cui bono—to whose benefit? It's the signature question of every conspiracy theorist with an unhinged mind. C heney. Halliburton. Big Oil. The military-industrial complex. Neocons. 9/11. Soldiers electrocuted in the shower. It all makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

If Mr. Paul wants to accuse the former vice president of engineering a war in Iraq so he could shovel some profits over to his past employer, he should come out and say so explicitly. Ideally at the next Heritage Action powwow. Let's not mince words. This man wants to be the Republican nominee for president.

And so he should be. Because maybe what the GOP needs is another humbling landslide defeat. When moderation on a subject like immigration is ideologically disqualifying, but bark-at-the-moon lunacy about Halliburton is not, then the party has worse problems than merely its choice of nominee.

The GOP would likely blame the "liberal media," or some similar nonsense.

Lets see...

Republican excuses for losing in 2016

1. Liberal Mainstream media
2. Democrats cheated
3. Free stuff
4. People voted for Hillary because she is a woman
5. Low information voters

Did I miss any?

We can expand on two and three:

‘Voter “fraud”’

and

‘Entitlement mentality.’

Two of the right’s favorite myths.

Pity republicans aren’t as creative in coming up with ways to help the country as they are dreaming up lame excuses as to why they lose elections.

It is hard work to come up with solutions. It is much easier to attack the other guy's solutions and hope no one notices you have nothing on the table.

Thanks for letting us know who you are most afraid of.
