The real question is will his "rug" hold up on that political water?

Enquiring minds really don't care about him, or his intellectually challenged ideas.

I read through 3 pages of purely ad hominem attacks on Rand Paul, with not one viable point of disagreement. You don’t like him because you’re TOLD to not like him. One attack did object to him taking us back to the “17th” century. I assume the person meant our individualistic Constitution the founders gave us (actually in the “18th” century). He also wants to reign in the Federal Reserve Bank, probably the single most damaging cause of our current economic downturn. Prior to the Great Depression, it artificially held up interest rates to maintain the boom of the 20’s and it did it again prior to the “housing bubble” of the last decade. Rand Paul wants to restore MARKET forces to regulate the interest rate instead of the flawed political Keynesian central planners. Rand represents the OPPOSITE of the forces that have mishandled our economy due to political influence.

We dont like him because he is a liar and pushes total draconian fantasy

Tell me what he's lied about and describe this "draconian fantasy".  Enlighten me. Exactly what EXTREME punishments is he fantasizing about dealing out for small offenses?

He is a wa cko with way out wa cko ideas like his old man. We know what he wants and aren't buying it.

You only prove my point by calling him a "whacko".  What is it you THINK he wants?  Explain yourself and stop with the juvenile insults.

Rand Paul personifies why nepotism is a very bad idea.

Also why there should be a life guard at the gene pool.

Rand Paul has achieved the impossible: he is actually dumber than James Inhofe.

Rand Paul a legend in his own mind, he should be outstanding in his field somewhere!

Say! You who live in whatever places he is endorsing candidates. You know what this means. You are in line to be the new national stupid people. There will be special training in Arizona if you do not reject this man's recommendation.

Don't say nobody told you.

Again, if they are the new "national stupid people", at least its a step up from the imbeciles who perpetuate failed Keynesian economic planning and the erosion of our individual liberties. If this is the best ad hominem attack you can produce, well then you must be of the OLD guard.

I'm sure you will not allow it to be posted once again, but at least you'll read it twice.

LOL, it's the so called "free market" tickle down bs that you people peddle that's failed and the warmongering fearmongering that has eroded liberties all under the righrwing regime starting with Ronald Reagan.

Rand like Ryan armed with Ayn's books and literature will jump the shark before 2016; both drank from that individualistic fountain that no public servant should relish.

That picture says everything I need to know.

Paul: "How big is my head? Oh. I'd say it's yay big...."

or

Paul: "What time is it? Eight o'clock. Wait. I did it right. I put up the right amount of fingers. Thumbs don't count....."
