Liberals, suck it. At least there will be one decent Senator out of 100. One. Senator Paul. What a beautiful sound. Too bad his dad couldn’t have been a Senator. Oh well. Thank you, Kentucky. Rand will not let you down. Rachel Maddow, kiss my ass. Kiss Rand’s ass too. We won bitch. Go home. Rand Paul for President 2016. ---

Will you be disappointed in him when he fails to singlehandedly cut government spending? Will you be pissed when the Dept. of Education and the Dept. of Agriculture are still functioning in 2 years? ---

$5 says he sells out everything he supposedly stands for to get any bill of his out of committee, much less out of the Senate. He’ll be a total waste of space, and a single-termer. ---

The standard for a Great Debate is seriously degrading by the minute around here. Or at least the ability to understand the standard. ---

Rand Paul ought to be the most amusing senator. I wonder how true he will stay to his pre-election views. ---

> [@](#): > > At least there will be one decent Senator out of 100. One. I fail to see the relevance to the thread topic. I thought this thread was about the guy who had his thugs curb-stomp a woman because they’re afraid of people who might support the Second Amendment, and who wants to repeal the Civil Rights Act, and who wants the government to take over the precious metals industry? What does that have to do with Sen. Jon Tester? ---

Rand Paul is a crazy person. He believes things that simply are not true. His opinions are based on a non-reality-based version of economics his idiot father brainwashed him with as a child. If you think that it’s a good thing that a crazy person is representing you in the Senate, well, good for you. ---

When a drunken loudmouth pisses his pants it can be somewhat amusing, but when the same person corners you and pisses on _your_ pants, he’s being totally abusing. ---

At long last we’ll find out what happens when you transplant Sarah Palin’s brain into Eddie Haskell’s body and make a Senator out of it. He’s an ignorant and arrogant little prick pushing the snake oil morally and intellectually bankrupt philosophy known as libertarianism. At least Jim Bunning could blame his goofiness on senility. Take the dopiness of Ron Paul and square it, you’ve got Rand. At least his campaign had some good foot-stomping music. ---

Liberals? Hate to break it to you chump but his libertarian ideas are about as anti-Republican as they are anti-Democrat. When’s the last time a Republican legislature or executive actually did something about the deficit other than increasing it? When’s the last time they decreased the size of government? ---
