In reply to the discussion: Dear DU: Fuck Rand Paul [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)151. Excuse me-Ron Paul is a megamillionaire who makes $50,000 a speech now.
Rand Paul some day soon will be doing the same.
Once the voters of Kentucky have another election and kick this John Birch Society person out of elective politics forever.
What is funny is that all the people that spew NO to dynasties, never mention the Paul
Family.
Why is that I ponder aloud?
Audit Ron and Rand Paul. Follow the money trail and see who/what/where/when they got all the money they got.
They ARE the republican party. There is NO difference between them and Tom DeLay and Karl Rove and W Bush.
In fact, a person very like them got W Bush elected in the first place.
