Rand Paul is being sold as the new hip young Republicans kids can relate to, like the Poochy of the Republican party. Like a broken clock, Rand Paul can be right on occasions, as he is in his stance against targeted killings of Americans. This of course infuriated the President of the Sunday Morning Talk shows and noted angry old man Senator Abraham Simpson of Arizona.
The Muppet versions of Senators McCain and Graham
Rand Paul, like all libertarians, gets one or two things right and everything else wrong. On matters of civil liberties where the civil liberties of corporations are not challenged Rand Paul sounds like a guy who cares about civil liberties, so even though Rand Paul thinks corporations have the right to be racist because the free market will sort it out he has also taken a strong stance against the governments willingness to forgo due process and just, well, execute people. For once Crazy has outdone a libertarian. That is because libertarians, unlike other Republicans, feel obligated to stick to one version of reality, even if it is 98% wrong, but at least they stick to it, whereas other Republicans tend to make shit up as they go along. Take John McCain fr example, or Mitt Romney, or any Republican when questioned on facts. Though libertarians are dead wrong on economic they get it right once in a while on civil liberties, their hate of Government and collectivism is only trumped by the Randian love of themselves, and thus, Rand Paul is against American citizens being shot by their Government. In the GOP Senate caucus Rand Paul is one of the only anti-giv Republiicans who thinks that the government which is waaaay to bing and powerful should NOT have the power o just up and kill Americans. Therefore Rand Paul is a broken clock.
But John McCain WILL NOT STAND for a Republican who gets it right once in a while on civil liberties, no, John McCain and Lindsey Graham are working hard to protect the Military Industrial Complex and the arms industry from American citizens who overwhelmingly want less guns and war. Tut tut tut, say McCain and Graham, who now find themselves opposing Rand Paul on the matter of whether the Federal government should be allowed to blow up American citizens without a trial.
With moderate Republicans like these, who needs unreasonable crackpots . . .
More below the fold.
Now, if Rand Paul is a broken clock then John McCain is an ancient Mayan Sundial that has been off for centuries, and the hilarious part is that guys like Rand Paul and Marco Palin can't strengthen their bizarro image marketing scheme to the people they are trying to get to vote Republican cause the old guys like McCain and the pundits like Glenn Beck and Hannity keep reminding those new voters Paul and Rubio are trying to win over what the other Republicans look like, the ones the GOP lost badly with the last time. Rand Paul is a broken clock, just like his father, and McCain is an ancient totem pole long past his use who gets dragged out every sunday morning so the beltway insiders can pause and reflect on what things could have been if only McCain won the Presidency instead of the runner up prize that is only available to Republicans, which is President of teh Sunday Morning talk show circuit. And those are your choices in the GOP of 2012, Rand Paul, a broke down jalopy that smells a little like pot and might start up the first try on a cold day once in a while, or John McCain, a perfectly working flying unicycle form 1905 that even Orville Wright couldn't get off the ground in his day.
The worst part, McCain is actually arguing that Obama has the right to execute Americans.
So if Rand Paul is Poochy, why won't he go home to his people already? I guess that makes McCain Droopy, and Senator Graham is of course Huckleberry Hound. Senate Minority Leader Morla from The Never Ending Story has yet to comment on these events as news of the Sequestration nothing spreads across the land.
