Rand Paul = David Duke with a little more 'polish'
Edited on Fri May-21-10 06:56 AM by PCIntern
I haven't heard this crap since coming out of the mouths of candidates since 1965...

The "Doctor" appellation before his name is particularly nauseating, as though this particular member of the lucky sperm club, who got himself a medical degree, is therefore somehow more qualified to insinuate himself into public policy issues than the average individual. Medical School, Dental School, and Veterinary School and the associated residencies thereof are not exploratory venues into which intellectually curious people go to develop their political, philosophical, and/or economic selves. They are - and I certainly should know - places wherein there is what we used to call "intellectual taxidermy" - you are stuffed full of knowledge after your ego has been destroyed. Whether or not you rebuild said ego is up in the air - it, as Bob Dole would say: Depends...
Now I'm not saying that dopes get through necessarily, and I'm not saying it's easy at all whatsoever - in fact, it's most difficult - but I'll tell you that I for one do not go by my "Doctor" credentials when arguing politics or religion.

This particular creepazoid had best better lose this race. is all I have to say.

7. I saw that...
God, he's an invasive worm...George kept asking him all of these relevant questions about the role of the federal government, and he kept squirming and saying that it had been "settled", and claiming that the media was just playing gotcha.

9. When even Snuffie can destroy you
that means you are really bad and really weak at defending your views.

3. I think there might be a silver lining if he does win
Rand Paul might really get under the skin of the establishment Republicans. By God, he may be Presidential or Vice Presidential material within a couple of election cycles..

4. + curly hair and no nose job.
He probably has a sheet and hood in his closet, though.

Yeah, like he said over and over to Rachel, he is not a racist. He probably has a best friend who is black... I think his name is Jim Crow.

10. Scarborough just called into his show on his day off
and did his bs of quoting unnamed sources saying "What did Rand expect after going on MSNBC?"...and Joe agreed with him! Um, anyone who saw the interview knows that Rachel gave Rand Paul every chance in the world to give a straight answer, this was not a game of gotcha.

12. "Gotcha"
Yep. That's it. The three exams that I failed in high school? Gotcha. "Have you been drinking this evening, sir?" Gotcha. "That's not my perfume. Where the fuck have you been???" Gotcha.
