Reply #6: Well, that's because he IS exposed and stupid.

People who really really really believe in the libertarian view just don't have a grip on reality.

Libertarianism works great in a utopian Eden, when EVERYONE from the fatcat CEO to the homeless behaves with integrity and thoughtfulness toward all, not just themselves. And unfortunately, because we don't, because we are captives of reality and our human nature, we sometimes need to be compelled to do the correct or moral thing. Sometimes we need to be compelled by an outside entity (like government) to loosen our embrace on our own myopia and selfishness. If everyone in modern society could be counted on to do the honorable thing (can't say "right thing" anymore because the word "right" is totally perverted in meaning by now) then libertarianism would be wonderful, and quite workable. It's a nice idea. That. Doesn't. Work. Not in the real world, anyway. In the Tooth Fairy Utopia that rand paul and his dad and all the other addle-brained believers out there wish they could inhabit and think they can create in real life, it works fine. But not in the real world, with real problems and real issues and real hardships and real unfairness, and real greed and real short-sightedness, and real human nature.

And you make a good point - body language. It NEVER lies.

He was expecting nonstop canonization because he won the primary and everyone everywhere was fawning over him as though he were the Second Coming. And everyone everywhere in the media was kissing his feet and anointing him with oil - they even described him with variations on that word ("anointing") all frickin' NIGHT! Like he was some sort of saint. She alone did not. She alone was not among the worshippers.

It makes me happy to see every show on MSNBC all day so far is featuring large chunks of her interview with this little weasel. The more America learns about him and this frickin' idiot pie-in-the-sky libertarian movement, the better for all the rest of us. I LOVE what I just heard from Andrea Mitchell of all people - about how rand paul now has a serious problem - "this is exploding all over the place."

As well it should.
