17. For a Senator who hates big government he sure has lots of offices.

I'm sure they're quite expensive too.

No chance he'll be closing any of them to actually practice what he preaches, eh?

[ragemage]

13. another study says Rand Paul is a raving lunatic

I don't even need some charts and graphs. Just play some video clips of him speaking...

[benld74]

[freshwest]

20. First GOP act under Bush II, deny miner's benefits, allow industry to self-monitor, etc. RFK, Jr.

Has spoken on the effects of air pollution and asthma for years, along with other health care issues. Of course, RP's Jr. was busy pulling 'harmless pranks' on women in college then. What an SOB. And one of the reasons RP Sr. ain't going nowhere.

[arbusto_baboso]

21. Then I guess my ruined lungs were NOT caused by all the burning oil wells in the Gulf in '91???

Fuck you Rand Paul. Fuck you very much, with a large barbed chainsaw.

[applegrove]

24. Many, many people will get sick and die without clean air laws. Rand Paul is a creep.

[Ohio Joe]

26. Ohio Joe claims Rand Paul and intelligence have no link

[DBoon]

29. DBoon claims facts and Rand Paul have no link
