– Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her testimony Wednesday on the attacks in Benghazi that killed four Americans.

If Rand Paul were president I would be getting my Visa and heading to Canada. I truly feel sorry for our country and for the state of Kentucky to be represented by this man.
It was quite obvious while I was watching the hearing that he, McCain, the other guy and the Rube couldn't wait to sink their wolf like teeth into SOS Clinton. She held her ground against them and gave great testimony.
AlaskaGirl - oh, Canada is NOT FAR enough away! I would go to Australia - plus the men are beautiful!!!! Scary thought - Rand Paul as President. I'll be having nightmares for weeks!
I believe Larry Craig would like to ride THAT unicorn!
Fantastical Delusions of Grandeur for $600, Alex!
Wow! The GNOP dumped Jim 'Perfect Game' Bunting for that moron. ☺
If Rand Paul were President there wouldn't be a United States.
I gotta say, as the words were coming out of his mouth I was simultaneously spewing coffee out my mouth and clapping for Hilary, because I knew that she would give him the smack down that he deserves. These people should have known to do their homework before going up against a professional. I was really happy to hear a couple of others bring up Sept. 11, 2001 and the subsequent WMD's. Shouldn't someone, or a group of someones been fired over THAT? The dumb ass righties stepped onto an IED when they brought up 9/11 1.0. Serves them right, the bunch of bastards.
In their efforts to use talking points and score, the RWNJs don't even understand, or very quickly move away from the real tragedy....subsequent lies and cover-up of WMD and Iraq.......
Senator Dubrin put it to them this morning......*crickets* from the RWNJs.....
Their feigned outrage over 4 deaths.....NO outrage over thousands of deaths.......
Rand Paul... Puhleeze, Americans have been dumbed-down enough.
SeekingSanity -- Re-think Australia. Remember climate change. But seriously, progressives have momentum and if anything we must stay and fight the fight. Though at least we don't threaten to secede from the union. Only delusional rightwingers who believe they own the country would think they can take it with them!
Heck Clara, the GOP took that category for 300 million and lost it all!....lol
Exactly, Chilled. One of them(Republican) called the Benghazi attack the second most tragic event in our history. No, the second most tragic event is an ongoing tragedy in that the country was lied to and maliciously deceived in order to get us into a war, two wars, wars that have cost us over 4,0000 men and women in our military being killed and thousands upon thousands more whose lives (and the lives of their loved ones) have been forever altered emotionally and physically. When do those that lied go before a tribunal?????
Oh, hell, TruePatriot, the entire Republican/Conservative Party thinks they own the Constitution!
If Rand Paul was president I would stockpile weapons and ammo. What a f-in windbag @!$%#!
So it's ok she didn't read the cables. How pathetic you liberals are to ignore the truth! Obama sends out a lie factory and the press just gives him a pass. SAD.
It's really sad AlaskaGirl, the RWNJs in Congress are trying so hard to extract something, anything, from Democrats....They want someone politically or otherwise destroyed.
Perhaps, they want Secretary Clinton led away in handcuffs (ain't happening), President Obama charged with something (ain't happening).
These hearings are a waste of time and money!
Are you really that stupid, geo? Go in the other room while the grownups talk.
GEO: Maybe you didn't hear her, or maybe you didn't watch the entire hearing, or maybe you only hear what you want to hear. No matter. She explained in her testimony that the State Dept. receives thousands of cables. Due to them being classified you or I or anyone else in the general public are not privy to the cables that were or were not presented to her for her advisement. But, you guys are not looking for any truth. You see the truth as it fits your agenda and your judgements. This SOS could never do right in your eyes or any of your fellow Righties eyes. It's a losing situation any way it's looked at.
Chilled, at the end of the day some may think the hearings are a waste of time and money, and some may be right, but I myself do not feel they were. In fact, they were further enlightenment as to what the GOP is and has become. They are presented with the facts, classified and unclassified documents, and yet all they still seem to care about is how the information was presented a mere few days after the attack. They can't see the forest for the trees, and they never will.
Rand Paul... was he by any chance named for Ayn Rand?
What a wacko!
“Had I been president at the time and I found that you did not read the cables from Benghazi, you did not read the cables from Ambassador Stevens, I would have relieved you of your post.”
This coming from a "junior" who also said this regarding the SCOTUS ACA ruling:
“Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be ‘constitutional’ does not make it so. The whole thing remains unconstitutional,” the freshman lawmaker said in a statement. “While the court may have erroneously come to the conclusion that the law is allowable, it certainly does nothing to make this mandate or government takeover of our health care right.”
Uh yeah, it kinda does, Rand old boy...here's your sign...
Yes, kaybeetoys, as a matter of fact he was. Fact.
Yes, Mickey, and had the SCOTUS declared opposite, Rand Paul would have been singing their praises and yelling at the top of his lungs that the Supreme Court certainly knows the true meaning of the Constitution. He's a douche bag with @!$%#ty hair!
AlaskaGirl-759554 -- The most tragic event has become the existence of the Teapublican Party. And Ayn Rand is the perfect role model -- fiction, hypocrisy, class warfare, etc.
Agree AlaskaGirl.....
Those of us with connected brain cells already know what they are, so this hearing is just for them to showcase to the 'folks back home'........Lookee, we're gettin' after those left-wing, socialist, communists who want to destroy Amerika!
These unhonorable republican stains are currently regrouping. They have a plan to gain control and power at EVERY LEVEL OF GOVT. including YOUR local these coming 2 years.
Beware. And "f"ing vote. DO NOT let these pathetics win ANYTHING. We all need to make a concerted effort to get the vote out like it has never happened before.
Mickey, NY --
Let's ask him how it feels getting his arse kicked by Hillary, ha!
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul's son reportedly has been charged with assaulting a flight attendant during a trip from Kentucky to North Carolina.
The Charlotte Observerreported over the weekend that 19-year-old William Paul was charged with misdemeanor assault on a female by aggressive physical force. The paper had previously reported that he also was charged with underage drinking, disorderly conduct and being intoxicated and disruptive.
The newspaper quoted Lt. Shawn Crooks as saying all the charges against Paul were filed the day of the incident

[He's a douche bag with @!$%#ty hair!]
Nice touch, AG!
Exit0: "Wow! The GNOP dumped Jim 'Perfect Game' Bunting for that moron. ☺"
Hey, Bunning's perfect game was one of my fondest Father's Day memories ever with my late Dad. Even in glorious black and white tv. And NOBODY lived and died with the Phillies that year more than I did.
But asking whether you'd rather have Bunning or Rand Paul in the Senate is kind of like asking whether you'd rather have mushrooms or anchovies on your ice cream sundae......
even Martians get angry, and...finally...
Mars attacks...
[Let's ask him how it feels getting his arse kicked by Hillary, ha!]
TP, Rand is way out of his league. And thanks for that little nugget of information about his board "certification"...
Jack in Porstmouth - Seems like your senility is treating you well, delusional as always! I'm sure you believed her prepared answers.
There is such a level of ignorance in this man that trying to write a civil response to utter nonsense is next to impossible. The best I can do is: Why doesn't Rand Paul fire the good Senator from Kentucky named Rand Paul whose staff reads the emails and letters from his constituents? I mean, is that somehow different. Does this fool really think that the Secretary of State reads every cable, every email, every letter received in the department?
Hillary Clinton picked that yahoo clean to the bone with her response just as she did every other whining GOPer in both the Senate and now the House.
Would those be psychedelic anchovies? With Rand's grandiose delusions of power, I'd say he is trippin' !!
geo - do you EVER get tired of looking like the fool in the crowd? Every post you make shows more and more how delusional and irrelevant you are!
Hillary doesn't need to prepare her answers. She's always prepared because it's her job to know as much as possible at all times about everything she can hold in her brain. That's what people of your caliber of intelligence will never understand.
Ahh, yes, Chilled
The classic 'Daily Double' down on stupid. How soon I forgot! lol
PS. I'm just spitballing here; but MOST tragic
9/11
2nd most tragic
Pearl Harbor
I am sure there are plenty of others much more egregious than Benghazi - Iran/Contra comes to mind - you know the DELIBERATE acts of supposed Americans that cost life and treasury.
Nah,...let's go with Republican Revisionist history! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is just another manifestation that Teapublicans are desperate so have their panties in a twist...
Aside from the HUGE crowds at President Obama's and VP Joe Biden's inauguration (more than double Bush's), it was indeed impressive to see the Clintons, Reid and Pelosi, and all the many beloved Democrats with so much gravitas, that in comparison what Republican could hold a candle? Eric Cantor? Paul Ryan?
Oh, the Teapublicans were soiling those panties, you can be sure.
If Rand Paul were President...the only people he'd be able to relieve of their post would be the two family members who signed on to join his rogue breakaway nation of Paulivinroomistan.
http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/313483/june-22-2010/usa-board-of-ophthalmological-freedom
He will never, ever be president. He's just as delusional as those religious sheeple praying to their invisible god in the sky.
And if he were, I'd be selling everything and heading out to some deserted island for survival, and to be as far away from this backwoods dumbfuk.
Not that I would expect anyone sitting there to say any snarky response back to the Committee Members, but that presumably would have been one hell of a moment if she said something to the effect of:
'First off Senator..using your example, you already are under-cutting your Party's argument that the President is at fault..because you just declared that the same horrific events would have happened under your watch. And second, if you were President...the Committee would be speaking with a different Secretary of State...assuming of course if we would even have had one to begin with'
AND she was a crappy writer. Her books are the worst!! Her characters are cardboard cutouts. Tasteless, bland, dull, boring... writers don't get much worse than Ayn Rand.
Anyone who buys her philosophy and calls himself 'Christian' is a complete hypocrite. Paul Ryan, for example.
Do these numbskull Republicans think raising their voices and feigning anger during this Benghazi Hearing will make Americans as bellicose towards SoS Clinton as they are?
What a bunch of idiotic cowards!!!
Rand Paul like his daddy will never ever be elected President.
.....and once again, Obama gets someone else to eat snot for his screw-up.
The guy is amazing. He's like the Presidential version of Harry Houdini. You can never pin him down to anything. And when you do, he somehow finds a way out.
Hillary shouldn't have been testifying today.
Obama should have.
Zman,
As an independent, and leaning liberal, I could pose the same response back on you and the republicans...George W., Cheney, Condi Rice, and Rumsfeld could be named Houdini and much more...mushroom clouds, end of the world, falsified and faulty intelligence for the war in Iraq, torture, Abu Ghraib, and not having an end game plan for Iraq....thousands killed and dead by the republicans.
Yet, you and these hearings wanting heads to roll for 4 Americans killed. No one is celebrating these deaths or sweeping them under the rug; most of Americans are more outraged over thousands of deaths that occurred over the last 10 years, than an unsettled middle east diplomatic post deaths.
JackieK, independent -- Agreed.
The nickname "Teflon" was first used in reference to Ronald Reagan, who would become known as "the Teflon President".
As another Independent leaning Left, there is no objectivity among Teapublicans since William F. Buckley, let alone memory past breakfast this morning, or history they have not rewritten.
Another example -- Where was the rightwing lynch mob when no one on Wall Street went to jail? Gawd!
Kind of funny that Rand Paul tells Hillary Clinton what he would do if he was the president, because he will never be president and she very likely may be.
Exactly, Forrest. Oh, the sweet irony! ;) I hope it isn't lost on either of them.
1. 9/11
2. Pearl Harbor
3. George W. Bush
Tell me then Mr. Paul, had you been in the House of Representatives after 9/11, would you have submitted Articles of Impeachment against President Bush for not having read or having ignored a Presidential Daily Brief title "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside the US" given to him in early August of that year or would the lives of 2,997 people not have mattered to you since he was a member of your own party? You say it isn't political, but yes, it is purely political, as are most all of your rants.
Rand Paul " If I was President " Guess what, He is not President and never came close to being President. Sometimes it's better just to keep your mouth shut.
It must be nice to dream...er, to fantasize!! This guy is so extreme that he'd never get near his Daddy in votes in the primaries- and we know how far the Ron Paul movement has gone!
Could it be that Rand Paul could be an easier target for Ashley Judd in Kentucky than the Mitchster? It does seem like Kentucky would vote for a Republican pet rock though with McConnell and Paul as examples, doesn't it?
I voted for his father in 1988 and in my state's primary for President twice. If the rest of you want to be slaves, well we almost are. So relax and smile you're getting your wish. In Benghazi had happened under a Republican President the media would be fierce and unrelenting in its criticism. Instead they are busy verbally servicing, on their craven knees. The US was a good idea and a pretty damn good country despite its faults. It's almost over now. Who was it that said the era of big government was over? Oh yeah it was lover boy. It's only beginning.
So why don't you move to an island far away? Then you can have your little Libertarian paradise, where altruism is evil and Ayn Rand is god. Enjoy your lack of workers rights and your crapped-on environment while it lasts. You'll know real slavery when you're living in a deregulated, industrial-revolution-era society. Then you can come crawling back to the good old USA, where the will of the people has spoken as to the direction of this country, and where we always accept the tired and poor with open arms because that's who we are.
Imagine your employer holding you accountable for not doing your job - and letting you go because of it. Your employer tells you they don't believe the situation happened because you did it on purpose, or that they felt your intent in any way was to cause harm. However, due to your lack of oversight in doing your job and in light of a terrible and avoidable outcome that transpired, the responsibility was ultimately yours. An independent panel for the company agrees. And you, the employee agree to accept that responsibility. Based on that reasoning the company dismisses you. That encapsulizes the bulk of Rand Paul's opening comments to Hillary Clinton as to what he would do if he were the 'employer'. I see why he is being slammed. It makes too much sense.
With all due respect to those killed and harmed by 9/11, isn't the US's biggest tragedy the loss of over 50,000 lives in that ridiculous "police action" a/k/a "The Viet Nam War"?
Rest assured if Rand Paul were POTUS, I would move to Switzerland in a New York minute.
alim:
First of all, you mistakenly assume that Hilary had full control. Have you already forgotten that Congress FAILED to approve funding for embassy security? Since you want to hold people accountable, does that mean we should FIRE all of Congress for their failure to do their jobs all the while collecting their $175K per year plus benefits?
It's nice that you want to throw Hilary under the bus; however, if you had any sense at all, you would thank her for all the hard work she put in over the last 4 years to restore our country's good name and reputation with our allies and other nations in this world. Something GW Bush DESTROYED!! Or have you conveniently forgotten that, as well?
Alim, according to the Republican work ethic, if Hillary failed in any way, which I doubt, she would be in line for a huge bonus and a promotion. Isn't that how failure is handled on Wall Street?
As I consider the tragic events in our history that come to mind without even thinking ... Pearl Harbor, 9/11, the sinkings of the Sultanna and General Slocum, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire, any number of Civil War, WWI and WWII battles, etc ... I can't help but wondering which one he ranks up the Benghazi attack and which ones he ranks as less "tragic"?
If Rand Paul and old long in the tooth Mitch is the best 'tucky can offer this is just pitiful. Is this the result of these good ole boys finding their way out from thos hollers? I will move back to the rez if there is even a hint of the idiot becoming president or maybe go up to Canada with the First Nations. Such a waste of education. Rand should go back to being a dentist of course he must have been a bad dentist too. It must run in the family since his pappy quit being a doctor too.
What do you think you have as a president now? All I see and what he has proved is he is a first class bulls@#ter and lies constantly. He has never resolved any of our economic issues but instead with his reckless spending has contributed to them. Terrible president the first 4 years and I doubt nothing will change the next 4 years. Only change may be he can not longer blame Bush for his incompetence. Before you talk trash about anyone else you should open your eyes and see what we have now.
"What difference does it make"?
Who cares why the administration lied to the American people for nearly 2 weeks after they knew what had happened in Benghazi?
They lied because they will determine what the American people need to know, and when they know it. That's what this country is all about after all: Allowing the Democrats total control of our lives and thoughts. Only then will all be right in the world.
The only time it's important to get to the truth is when a Republican does something wrong. If they're not wrong, we'll just manipulate public awareness of the facts to suggest they are. This is how it worked after the Iraq invasion. Every intel office agreed that Saddam had WMD's, top Democrats spoke of the threat Saddam posed, and they even voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq.
Saddam moved the WMD'sd to Syria according to an Iraqi general in 2006. The war became unpopular and the Democrats distanced themselves from it, even though they authorized it. Then came the PR campaign that has convinced most people that G.W. Bush actually lied about the WMD's to start the war. People don't bother to look up a little history, and the Democrats exploit this to their advantage. Hence, the low information voter is a useful tool.
In the case of the latter, no one ever says "What difference does it make?"
Benghzi, while recent, is hardly our second worst tragedy. They are forgetting the battle of Antietam where 23,000 or more were killed in one day. That beats 9/11 in tragedy, and yet other battles during the Civil War (why do they call it Civil, wars are not) there were more casulties on average than those that died in 9/11. Even the Galveston hurricane of 1900 had more casualties then 9/11, with approximately 8,000 deaths. Like any subject, you can skew the statistics if you leave some things out. In my opinion, the rampage at Newtown CT is much more of a tragedy than Benghazi. You don't hear the senate falling all over themselves to crucify someone over that, do you?
Proud2b Liberal: You are misusing the quote. Ms. Clinton said "Was it terrorists, or was it because of a guy out for a walk one night? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to make sure that it doesn't happen again." That is true. She is not negating the importance of the deaths of those 4 Americans, what she's saying is what difference does it make NOW WHY the attack happened? Congress cut costs on security - are they beating themselves up for that? No. They didn't lie because they didn't want people to know what happened, or because they were hiding anything. They didn't have full knowledge WHY it happened, and because of the situation, some people were kept out of the loop. Why is that? Because of a little thing called CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. You are aware of that "Liberal", that when information is CLASSIFIED no one can have it if they do not have that level of security. There are things about Benghazi that we will never know because of the level of classification. Didn't you think it was strange that the family of Mr. Stevens hasn't been in the press? Because they understand CLASSIFIED INFORMATION is involved, and they know that CLASSIFIED INFORMATION CANNOT BE SHARED if the recipient doesn't have a high enough security clearance, a fact that seems to ESCAPE most Republicans, especially those in Congress, and those who keep harping on Benghazi being our "Second worst tragedy".
President Obama is a liar? What did he lie about? His religion? He never said he was a Muslim - a Republican did. He's said he was Christian. His birth place? He has consistantly said he was born in Hawaii. Guess what? He was. His economic policies? He repeatedly said that it took us more than 4 years to get in as deep as we got, and it's going to take more than 4 years to get us back out. Guess what? The economy is starting to look better. It would be a lot better if his policies were not completely challenged as the Tea Party was stonewalling them. His "reckless" spending? I don't consider putting money into programs to help those who need to eat, and pay rent/mortgage but can't because they are unemployed as reckless. Perhaps if the GOP had gotten off their collective arses and tried to help the American people by passing jobs bills rather than trying to see who would be the first to yell "you lie" or vote down any idea by the President, this would have been fixed sooner. Considering that his first year in office he was stuck with the budget that George Bush put in, yes it was his fault. Many of the policies and programs that were Bush's that needed to be ended - especially the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - couldn't be abruptly ended, but they needed to be funded. But you wouldn't believe that.
Debnran Good reply to Tom-2. I wonder if Rand Paul has taken a HIV test he looks like he is at end stage.
Poor GOPer's can't get over the fact that Obama wiped the Mitt from his Paul Ryan with recycled Sarah Palin and flushed it down the Rush Limbaugh to the John Boehner led Cess pool Senate-TWICE! LOL
No Mad - You're mad! LMFAO Thanks for a truly hysterical writeup of the Repukicant Party of NO.
A group of senators including Paul Ryan met BEFORE Obama's FIRST inaugaration and pledged to oppose ALL efforts by the Obama administration regardless of whether it had originated with John McCain (D.R.E.A.M. Act) or with the conservative Heritage Foundation in 1993 presenting a counter-proposal to First Lady Hillary Clinton's efforts for a healthcare act with their own INDIVIDUAL MANDATE which was used in ROMNEYCARE and then denounced by RepubiCons when the Affordable Care Act was presented.
HYPOCRISY is #1 with the Regurgicon Party! GOOD JOB HILLARY for shutting down the Rand factor. They must be sh*tting in their pampers thinking about her possibilities in 2016. ;>)
Ron Paul is at least fun and makes some good points. Rand Paul just sucks the good energy right out of the room (and McCain too anymore - he must have hemmoroids. They look ridiculous, just like when trying to nail Chuck Hagel (one of their own). With friends like that who needs enemies. It pathetic watching them trying to out-grandstand each other. The Tea Party really did a number on the Republicans.
Isn't it interesting that Rand Paul stands for everything that's good about America, and liberals stand for everything that's bad? Gee, wonder why the bottom is falling out...
And based on how many liberals on this board have stated that they would move out of the country if he were elected POTUS (y'all have apparently been saving your welfare and food stamps), I will begin appealing to all the cosmic powers in the universe to make this become a reality. Never too early to start, is it?
Thankfully, we will never witness that nitwit anywhere near the WH!
This idiot fell out of the "stupid" tree and hit every branch of "dumb-ass" on his way down...
Feisty - and climbed back up to hit the same branches a 2nd time! He's intolerable!
Feisty and Seeking .... loved both your posts and couldn't have said it any better!
Feisty, can't stop laughing at the words and the visual. So glad I wasn't drinking any coffee.
Anyone watch NOW with Alex today .. in the Luke Russert clip, at about 7:58, Sam Stein is chatting it up, and behind him is a picture hanging upside down of Boehner, Paul Ryan, and I think, icky-sicky-Ricky Santroum. I had to replay it three times before I finally stopped laughing.
I adore Sam Stein! He has really come out of his shell over the last few months. He is much more animated than I remember him normally being.
great post feisty you described that imbecile to a T in a little paragraph.
Feisty's un-endorsement of Rand Paul has confirmed what I already knew. LOVE THIS MAN! Rand Paul for President 2016!
Oh look, Fisty's adoring little groupies all gathered in one pathetic thread. Ain't that just the sweetest thing you ever saw?
I'm with you, Laura, if Fisty's against it then it has my full endorsement. Rand Paul stands for everything that used to be great about this country while liberals stand for nothing other than what they can get for themselves.
Pathetic...
Hey Rand - You mean something like... "Bin Laden determined to strike US"
And, like this Mark -Indy
Dubya and crew did not care.......
3/7 Your comment on Colin Powell/He is what I consider a true Liberal Conservative and one that this T.P.Rep. are trying their hardest to eliminate, to the detriment and failure of survive,of their party.
You'll never pin these Libertarian types down with examples of Republican failures. They'll just sidestep it by saying that they're against both the Republican and Democrat ideologies. They're the great and wonderful Libertarians and they don't compromise their ideals. Yet, they'll run in elections as Republicans because they're total hypocrites. And you can't get them with any real-world examples of Libertarian ideals in practice because there are no modern examples of a successful Libertarian society. Go figure why that may be. Nope, they get to prance around self-righteously declaring how right they are and how their ideas make so much sense, and it's all a bunch of hypothetical, theoretical nonsense that would never work in the real world.
Kind of odd, isn't it that the two SoS's that the teapublicans vilify at every opportunity are the most respected and most popular in modern history. Who'da thunk??????
If Rand Paul were President, there wouldn't be embassies in the Middle East, or a U.S. delegation at the United Nations, for that matter. You know how Libertarians feel about talking to "foreignors."
President Rand Paul.... right up there w/ Cubs win World Series.
Mark-Indianapolis - NOT NICE - we LOVE the Cubs. They are not gutter dwellers like Rand Paul!
have to admit I laughed before feeling the need to defend the Cubbies.
booooooo, you cub hater!
Clara - so did I!
Actually the cubs could win the series someday. Paul has the same chance as the cubs have to win the Stanly Cup. He's not in the right league.
If I were a Kentuckian, Rand Paul would be relieved of his post!
Thank God you aren't a Kentuckian. Carry on in whatever idiotic state you're a resident of.
I can trace my Kentucky roots on both sides of my family back to before Kentucky was a separate state. I still own property there. But, I am so glad that I no longer live there. Any state that would elect Rand Paul is clearly off its collective rocker. But, then, what do you expect for a state that originally included prayer in its emergency preparedness plans.
Does Ron's son have a sense of irony?
Most likely not dangerfield. These guys are concrete-sequential with a vengeance! And no sense of humor either!
"We have met the enemy and he is us!" Pogo by Walt Kelly
Really? This individual is very ignorant about the facts, and has no clue of what the US Constitution says. His description of the President is completely wrong. Rand does not seem to read much information, and has no grip on reality. This individual does not have the "Presidential Behaviors" to even qualify for the US Presidency. What a joke America!
Rand Paul is too busy styling his hair to give a fig about what the U.S. Constitution says!
Those thoroughbred horses in Kentucky have more sense than Rand!
I'm guessing Rand works out with Lyin Ryan. Two of a kind! Bet they fight over who gets the mirror!
Seeking . . .
Snap! Frozen pipes haven't gotten you down today! Great posts!
I'm picturing Domenico sitting in the Boiler Room and thinking---it has been a little slow since the Inauguration---let's see what they come up with on this one!
Thanks for the entertainment!
I had that same thought! I think they wanted to put a fire under us! Domenico, you succeeded!
Fired Up! Ready to GO!
AlaskaGirl----it is 8 degrees here today in Pittsburgh---I feel like I'm in Alaska with you!
Brrrr! I will only say that it is in the upper 30's here where I am! As with the rest of the country, our weather is not typical this year. All together now: "CLIMATE CHANGE!"
Come On AG! You know the conservative mantra? If they walk outside and the temperatue is below normal than there is no Global Warming." And, if they walk outside and it is warmer than normal it means that we will be able to grow crops in the Artic and Antartica which is good for the planet. In fact, Alaska may just be the future "bread basket" for the world. Start buying land up there!
These days, first we must find someone to blame. It used to be the next step was actually fixing the problem. Now the next step is just keep talking about the person you blame because solving problems always requires that we listen and actually think. Something the GOP has not done in years.
Rand Paul 2016!
Not likely.
(sarcasm)
Dream on little man so saith the late Porn Star John C Holmes...
Brave Americans were slaughtered while pleading for the help that the Obama administration denied them. Is Hillary also pleading "guilty" to that? If so, she should be in prison. If not, then she needs to tell us straight out who is responsible!
over 3,500 brave Americans were slaughtered in 2001 due to the neglect of one President Bush in reading the intel regarding a massive attack on American soil. Over 4,000 brave Americans have been slaughtered in two wars due to lies and deceptions perpetrated by men hired by the Bush Administration to convince this country about Massive Weapons of Destruction. So, not to diminish the tragedy of 4 Americans being killed, but tell me Kannin, why do we not hear you and others like you banging your drum about nearly 8,000 people dead? By your judgment, shouldn't Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and C. Rice all be in prison?
Kannin - liar. Do you EVER get tired of being stupid???? Oh, and we'll go after Bush/Cheney for 9/11/2001 first!
AlaskaGirl - "shouldn't Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield and C. Rice all be in prison?" Or under it - and no, I am not making a threat - just saying they have no place in decent society!
You're one sick puppy, that's the only explanation for such a ridiculous comment. So, sick puppy, do we also jail those in Congress who cut the State Department's security budget, and denied their requests for additional money for embassy security?
I'm looking for someone else to blame for 26 deaths at Sandy Hook Elementary; throwing Wayne LaPierre in jail works for me. (snark button off)
That works for me!
Kannin, what part of "I take all responsibility" do you not understand?
She's just trying to protect the loser-in-chief
The People of Kentucky should recall this IDIOT for IMPERSONATING a U. S. Senator. All he can do in INSULTS. I ask sane people is this what you want a man who calls himself a Representative of the U. S. Senate to act totally UNPROFESSIONAL. He is not as good as his Dad. I guess Paul Senior did not have much time for him growing up. Maybe he was raised in the Kentucky or Texas Wilderness?
I don't think the Right Wing Entertainment Industry is going to be very happy with the way their witch hunt fizzled out today.
True, the GOPers won't be happy because Benghazi-Gate fizzled out just like their Fast & Furious witch hunt fizzled out. That's the trouble when a party focuses their witch hunting on scapegoating the blame rather than the real cause and how to prevent it in the future.
No, chucky, but they will make every effort to twist and manipulate everything SOS Clinton said. News for Dum Fux is only serving up twisted entertainment for their twisted audience. Gotta keep the audience tuning in!
and they themselves are fizzling out!
Amen Jody!
If Rand Paul were president and could get his way on everything we would see lawlessness in the streets. There would, for all intents and purposes, be anarchy. The economy would be in a shambles. There would be no money to fund any public employees or infrastructure projects so roads would crumble, bridges would fall and first responders would not be able to respond as there would be no first responders in any public sector kind of job. Corporations would try to rule but without customers they would fail. They would be without customers because no one would be working. Entitlement programs would be gone. There would also be no military to protect us from the world's bad guys. Maybe a small militia here and there might keep a neighborhood safe for a brief period but generally chaos would reign.
oh, you mean like now with obama
Wait, I thought Hilary had a blood clot in her brain so she would not have to testify? /s
@!$%#in @!$%#s.
She did(have a blood clot sustained during a fall), but not so that she would not have to testify, as you can see she did indeed testify twice. You, on the other hand, appear to have had part of your brain removed.
AG its called a Lobotomy! Jupiter. In the semi-famous words of the Ramones; "Now i guess you'll have to tell 'em that you got no Cerebellum!"
thus my sarcasm tag... chill y'all I was calling the heartless conspiracy theorists @!$%#s.
She did. She should have had a lobotomy (obviously), but they needed her for a scapegoat for the Obamination.
AG, your drunk on Obama juice. Don't make claims like she held her own and "gave great testamony". She had 3 MONTHS TO PREPARE FOR IT! You dont think she has had people ask her every question and more that could have been asked of her? She didn't answer one question truthfully. She is all about deception.
Lie'n B^#*H, Flat out. Why dont you listen to the father of one of the slain over there. She flat out lied to everyone and straight to his face as the cold...... well we've established what she is.
She makes me sick. So do you AG.
Really funny to watch the Fox Five spin machine sputtering right now. Their next "big story" is the football dude with the fake girlfriend.
The fact is, Hillary's testimony was brilliant, and as a bonus she got to give Sen. Johnson a well-placed (and deserved) kick in the... uh... Teabag.
Rand Paul POTUS. OM friggin god that was funny.. never going to happen.
@Sharon,
Dude actually sent out a video of that exchange Immediately after the hearings to prove what a "big man" he is.
Truly sad.
Elementary school stuff.
Obama's era of haters, doesnt matter, he is a lame duck, and not going to do anything substantial from this point on except spend your tax money and cause more division, I personally didn't vote for him, don't recognized him as such, and soon, he will be a bad memory, none the less, a memory.
ib go back to sleep.... you have taken the term projection to a new level. projection is blaming others for your own failings. spending your tax money what a joke you again missed the boat the big tax spender in the last ten years was Bush
Actually JOE, the president doesn't spend the money. Ya 'Tard, Congress has the purse strings, do you not listen to your own idiot President? Who controled Congress since 2002? Wasn't Bush. Dont comment unless you can bring a fact to the conversation.
Now go back to sucking your bottle.
If Hilary had a little less class she should of told that douche "you are not president yet, assh***"
Leave out the "yet "and you got my vote!!
First of all, Senator Rand, you're not the President, and as a Senator, you should step down from your seat as senator since you have shown little affinity for the position.
The difference between you and President Obama - when he was a two-year senator - is that he had common sense.
From George Carlin on losing things - the many things we lose, and wonder where they go - "Common Sense", you never get that back.
Senator Rand, I consider yourself a senator with no common sense, and I don't see you retrieving it any time soon.
She can't read what she doesn't have...Stupid and false attack by Paul.
If Rand Paul was President we would all shoot ourselves
we could only hope! And wish that the pretender-in-chief had not yet illegally confiscated all your guns.
The guy is amazing. He's like the Presidential version of Harry Houdini. You can never pin him down to anything. And when you do, he somehow finds a way out.
Hillary shouldn't have been testifying today.
Obama should have.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Then they would face even more devastating humiliation at the hands of the President.
That's why they didn't call him to testify.
There's nothing amazing about it.
GOP is nothing but punks and cowards like Paul.
Can't wait to vote them into the dustbin of history. They are a worthless drag on our great country.
