What an intelligent and fair individual.

Dane Cook isn't funny either, but technically, he's still comedy.>> ^bareboards2:

Not sure if I agree with your assessment. Is there a comedy fail channel?

That's curious, because Rand Paul is also a terrible fucking person.

while i agree with some of ron pauls positions and respect his steadfastness concerning issues i cannot in good conscience support someone who admires the infantile philosophy of ayn rand so much as to name his son after that sociopath.
It's a minor point among the rest of your post, but little Randal wasn't named for Ayn Rand.

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video Ron Paul: Rand Paul, Founders as Libertarians & Civil Rights. Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

Since we're nitpicking, for FSM's sake get rid of that terrible 70s vampire film organ music...

In other "news", the earth orbits the sun, and Rand Paul is an ignorant fuckwad.

Did I just upvote a comment by Bob Knight? I hope your sentiment is bipartison.

The "debt ceiling crisis" was a self inflicted wound. This vote, which has been routine and generally unpolitical, was indeed used, badly I might add, as a political hostage. The many republicans, who in banana republic style advocated a US default on our legitamate active debts are directly responsible for the credit downgrade by S&P. Lest we forget who they are, from TPM:

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), May 17, 2011: "You want to make sure that the bondholder has confidence that the government's going to be able to pay them.... That's what I'm hearing from most people, which is if a bondholder misses a payment for a day or two or three or four what is more important that you're putting the government in a materially better position to be able to pay their bonds later on."

Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), May 18, 2011: "What I think is that the markets are looking to see credible progress on changing the fiscal trajectory in Washington. The markets are not fooled by some date imposed to say that that is the trigger for the collapse. I think the markets are looking to see that there is real reform."

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), May 19, 2011: "The government is not to be trusted with more of your money, so I will refuse to allow them to borrow more. Now is it a good idea to default? No! But this is a false claim being promoted by big-government advocates. We can simply spend what we take in!"

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), June 24, 2011 on administration warnings of "catastrophic consequences" of not raising debt limit: "I don't believe them, it's not true."

Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA), May 18, 2011: "This problem is so urgent that there is -- an alternative school of thought has emerged recently," Toomey said. "The most high-profile advocate for this was Stanley Druckenmiller ... one of the world's most successful hedge-fund managers, extraordinarily wealthy from his knowledge of the markets, a big money manager now, and a big holder of Treasury securities -- and he has said that he would actually accept even a delay in interest payments on the Treasuries that he holds. And he would prefer that if it meant that the Congress would right this ship."

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), July 13, 2011: "To get a balanced budget amendment in this environment...we'd have to make the serious, credible, earnest threat that if you want to raise [the debt ceiling] and you want to have any Republicans voting for raising it, you're going to have to assist us: You give us 20 votes to adopt the balanced budget amendment in the Senate and we'll make sure you get the votes you need to raise the debt limit."

Don Lemon has been trying to get fired from CNN for a while now. http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-july-26-2011/cnn-anchor-don-lemon-appears-not-to-care-for-cnn
(edit: embed fail)
While Lemon is definitely letting his emotions get in the way of civility here, I think it's fully understandable. R. Paul is a despicable, slimy excuse of a politician, chock full of lies and hypocrisy. Blech.


We should all remember that lies is what makes elected offcials elected. Without them, without our demand that they have them, they are nothing. It's sad, but we must own it here in America. I don't blame Paul for lying, although I do respect his old man for being a bigger man, I do hate his policies.

But I digress. I don't find justification as a means to lower ones morals. I hate Fox for this BS (And for their coddling of their favorites) and I hate anyone else who practices it. For whatever reason.

Oh, and thanks for the info on Lemon. It isn't that I disagree with you hp, it's that I am very unbending in some areas. Perhaps too much so.

wow, i can be a dick on national cable tv. cnn should hire me.

Why are the socialists pretending they've "lost" because there were no tax hikes?
The "spending cuts" barely amount to a paper cut.
As Rand Paul said:
“The President called for a “balanced approach.” But the American people are calling for a balanced budget. This deal does nothing to fix the overreaches of both parties over the past few years: Obamacare, TARP, trillion-dollar wars, runaway entitlement spending. They are all cemented into place with this deal, and their legacy will be trillions of dollars in new debt."
Every time The Kenyanesque Hawaiian was declared a naked emperor and enemy of free market capitalism, the left balked. Meanwhile Jugears and Co. have been overclocking the economic engine for three years with non-stop spending. This clown never wanted jobs growth, he wanted 'brakes' on the economy and America in general, they are his idealogical enemies.
taxocrats = traitors
RINOs = traitors


It's amazing to me that you blame Obama yet have no harsh words for say Reagan or Bush. He's essentially the same as them...how the fuck is he different? You're just an idiot man...give it up!
