I remember when Little Green Footballs was the most unhinged right-wing website on the Internets. But even they think Rand Paul is beyond the pale. The official Republican line is that Rand isn’t ready for prime time because he’s being honest about what he believes. If he can just focus on “debt and terror” and the money the government is spending to get the unemployment rate down, he’ll be the next senator from Kentucky. That would be the debt that Bush’s unfunded wars and massive tax cuts for the rich produced, and the nonstop fearmongering that Cheney produced. As far as Lamar Alexander is concerned, Rand Paul can be a welcome member of the Republican caucus if he just learns to stop talking about what he believes and begins blaming the Democrats for the mess that the Republicans made when they were in power.
Here’s a thought. Why would anyone vote for a racist like Rand Paul or a diaper wearing senator like David Vitter or a guy like Richard Burr who wants to protect Wall Street? The Republicans have not articulated any reason to vote for them.
