Rand Paul Gloats About Scott Walker Recall Win At CPAC Chicago

[Galraedia]

Source: Huffington Post

Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) gloated about Republican Governor Scott Walker's "landslide" win in the Wisconsin recall elections while speaking at CPAC Chicago on Friday.

"Mr. President, did you hear Scott Walker won in a landslide?" Paul said, according to The Hill. "It's hard for me to say that without gloating."

Paul echoed the sentiments of many who believe Walker's defeat of Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (D) set the stage for a tough 2012 presidential battle in the Badger State.

"I wonder if it worries anybody at Team Obama. I think it does," Paul said. "Scott Walker's victory should send a message to all politicians, especially some of those weak-kneed politicians in Washington, that you can stand on principle and get reelected."

3. Has anyone else notice how with ever win

the Republicans take it as a mandate and use it to forecast the future.

[nxylas]

15. But when Obama won in a landslide in 2008...

...all we heard from them (and their enablers, the professional centrists) was the need for bipartisanship.

[SoutherDem]

23. Yes, and their definition of bipartisanship is do what we want.

Even to the point of McCain telling Obama some mandatory demands.

[SunSeeker]

4. It's easy to stand on principle...

when you've outspent your opponent 10 to one, and the principles you're standing on are the marching orders of your oligarch benefactors.

Douche-bag.

[Frances]

6. Ditto

5. He is putting salt on my cuts

nasty assholes. Money honey, seeing people suffer is the GOP way. Fuck them!

7. Right-Wingers Seem To Think That Pride Goeth Before Means

Right-wingers seem to think that the meaning of 'Pride Goeth Before The Fall' means that Pride is the station before the city of Great Falls, both of which are situated on an Amtrak route they'd like to shut down.

Personally, I think that Walker deserved to be recalled. I think that the timing was sloppy, though. The recall organizers should have waited until the indictments rolled out and Scotty was in court and sweating bullets.

8. Wisconsin was never a loss if you can learn from it.

Republicans had the money and enough time to unite around Walker. Choosing to place the same person who lost to Walker in 2010 against him in the recall was a mistake. Democrats need to also improve the ground game. Republicans can't buy votes, they can only buy attack ads that prevent people from voting more so than getting them to vote against their opponent.

I try to look at the bright side. The Republicans may have won but they wasted a lot of their resources in doing so.

9. When you count the votes...

you can win any election. Bragging about winning a crooked competition is the lowest of the low.

[Aristus]

10. I'm guessing from your user name that you are a fellow Washingtonian.

Welcome to DU, gregoire!

[mahina]

13. Aloha, welcome to DU.

11. Rand Paul and the likes of his kind.....

12. Dr. Whoopee Cushion

Good grief, Rand, he had to win his own recall election. Stop smoking that Gong before we start asking about your ophthalmology certificate again.

[HiPointDem]

14. shows you what principles the pauls actually stand for.

[graham4anything]

16. Google Jorg Haider

Google Jorg Haider and damn if both in looks and in content they are not clones of each
other ideologically in that "master race" type of thingydingy they talk about.

and Rand wants to be Mitt's VP and now fully backs him...anyone thinking of voting for a 3rd party or sitting on their hands and not voting in 2012 enables Rand Paul and Rand's viewpoint.

(which unlike what he spews is 100% anti-constitutional and 100% anti-American democracy no matter the spin from them.)

20. Oh well then..

If he LOOKS like a bad guy...

Come on, the guy is an assclown on the face of it. No need to debase ourselves by judging people by their appearances. That is very, well, right wing.

[graham4anything]

29. obviously you did not read the wiki (or other bios) on Jorg Haider

looks are secondary
What is important in their connection is how the two are twin-like in what they(and father Ron) believe in and more important
WHO THEY BOTH LIKE TO KEEP DOWN (which is all minorities and Jews).
Both are/were backward thinkers, only looking to preserve what was around (in the US, pre-LBJ signing the civil rights/voting rights acts)

Both would equally be at home in the John Birch society.

(might have been better not to post the pictures, btw, which one is which, I for one can't tell without cheating).

[underpants]

17. Obama won 53-46 too. Landslide anyone?

[dotymed]

18. Didn't the citizens of WI

get more recall signatures than Walker got votes in his original "win?" Doesn't that tell Americans anything?

[GoCubsGo]

25. Yes.

They also recalled enough republicans to give control of the state Senate to the Democrats. If I was little Randy, I wouldn't be doing a victory lap right now, especially when his friend, the winner, is likely going to be indicted.

[SWTORFanatic]

19. Yep Scott Walker is a real libertarian Rand

With his anti same sex marriage / anti domestic partnership stance.

[Thinkingabout]

21. Rand is showing his qualifications, don't know for what but a real lack of class.

Now this is a guy we would want to represent us at no time. one thing about him as president it would make Bush-Cheney look like expert saints. I have yet to hear anything intelligent coming from Rand. But you could say he is a good voice for the radical.

[Auntie Bush]

22. Stupid curlie top makes me sick to look at. He looks just like the fool he is.

Maybe a buzz cut would help.

[GoCubsGo]

24. I guess it makes him feel better. It's all little Randy has.

He can't gloat about all those Senate recalls, because those lost his Republic party control of it. And, with that, his buddy, Snotty, is effectively neutered.

[judesedit]

26. 53% to 46% is hardly a landslide. And they did everything to keep us from voting. So sad

We'll see how worried Team Obama is, won't we. Ryan's right about one thing...we have to get rid of those weak-kneed politicians. We also have to rid ourselves of the spineless, the brainless, and the heartless pocket-pets of the lobbyists. The GOP's "principles" are for the GOP racists, greedy, lawless, hypocritical 1%. May I add ignorant. They have nothing to do with ethics and the majority of this country's needs. At least Ron Paul has some thought-out ideas. Ryan is a spoiled, impulsive, uncaring nazi-like dangerous clown of destruction.

[bayareaboy]

27. Doesn't CPAC have an annual covention ...

about 6 or 7 times a year.

Don't they bring out the same faces saying mostly the same things?

[magic59]

28. The only thing I can add is

People in Wisconsin are just plain stupid.

[Viking12]

30. fuck you
