Once an open book, Paul now asks reporters to submit questions in writing

[ccharles000]

LOUISVILLE — Rand Paul, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate who offered detailed answers on just about any topic during his primary campaign, declined to answer reporters’ questions Saturday and told them to “submit your questions to us” in writing.

Paul walked away from reporters, telling them he would only answer questions if they pertained to his 13-minute speech he gave to Republican activists Saturday. He was a keynote speaker at state party’s 2nd annual leadership conference at the Galt House Hotel.

David Adams, Paul’s campaign chairman, later insisted that it was not a new policy but didn’t know why Paul rebuffed reporters other than he was “on a tight schedule.”

Paul, however, spent 20 minutes after his speech talking with Republican activists and taking photos with them.

1. The scripted Senate Candidate

All questions must be passed through the script writers before allowing the candidate to open mouth insert foot.

:rofl:


What sucks is that it will probably work, the writers will make the moron look good and he will get elected in November.

2. Well that says an awful lot there huh?

He wants to be a man of the people, but only the *right* people.

and only those who can write, it appears...

wasn't that ALSO an issue with the civil rights act? I'm pretty sure it was. A lot of Black people were denied the right to vote if they could not read or write.

I know people might think it a stretch, but this man is really trying to bring segregation back, via the GOP.

3. The term "Not Ready for Prime Time" comes to mind

Or maybe a graphic novel. ;-)

8. Seems as if he is following the footsteps of a failed VP

candidate after she couldn't name a single thing she read. I can't get over the fact that he certified himself with his own fake board. Wow.
