Rand Paul actually believes he can be president

[Bo-4]

===

William Hilton Paul, the 19-year-old son of Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and grandson of former Texas congressman Ron Paul, was taken into police custody yesterday at North Carolina’s Charlotte Douglas International Airport for public intoxication following a Saturday morning flight from Kentucky.

It was unclear whether Paul had been served alcohol on the flight, but Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department rep Lt. Blake Hollar said that possibility was being investigated.

Paul identified himself as the son of a US senator, but was arrested anyway. He was booked into Mecklenburg County Jail on charges of underage consumption, disorderly conduct, and being intoxicated and disruptive.

Is Rand going to fire his Son the way he would fire Hillary?

President Aquabuddha. Spare us.

If Rand Paul is serious about wanting to win the GOP nomination (rather than just enjoying the kind of ego-stroking quixotic campaign his dad's fond of), he'll need to portray himself as someone who had an infatuation with Ayn Rand and libertarian extremism when he was younger, but has since outgrown it, to become a stereotypical conservative Christian militarist, while only holding on to libertarianism's discomfort with social spending. Otherwise, he'll scare off the base.

President Paul will happen when pigs fly.

 

[as seen on tv]

stranger things have happened -

like 4 years ago when a first term senator from illinois with no legislative authorship or international experience took the nomination away from hillary clinton.

and look where we are now, lol

President of what? The alternate reality universe of the far rightwingers where all was well and good in the USA before Jamuary 20th, 2009? The land where deficits and national debt only matter when there is a democrat sitting in the White House? The place where wars can be fought against countries that are no threat to the USA and be paid for from somewhere other than the country's budget? The land where less taxes for the rich means more revenue for the country to pay it's bills with.


In other words, if he can just unseat Mr. Roarke and Tattoo, Rand Paul could be president of Fantasy Island!

But he wasn't on record opposing the Civil Rights Act.

As far as the GOP goes though, Bo.....I'm not so sure they wouldn't give him the Nom. They have a pattern of "overlooking misbehaving children" of their own side.

A helluva lot better off than we were four years ago. Of course, your mileage may vary. We can offer our citizens equal opportunity, but we can't really guarantee equal outcomes.

Well yes, there's that AND the fact that he DID have international experience.. plenty of it.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good ASOT/ba rant......or she'll sicc Miss Lindsey Graham on you.

A perfect job for him: Good morning Boss.. Da Plane Da Plane!

Nothing is impossible...

If you disagree then I will leave you with three letters that will prove humans are stupid and will elect a moron to office and no it is not BHO but:

































GWB






Any doubt that I am being serious about the fact Americans are stupid enough!?!

 

[Saladin2]

I'm guessing Paul will try and run in 2016....Replacing his dad as the "weird" guy on the campaign trail....Should be worth some laughs

Did you really just say that?

I was thinking along those lines. A few years back, people just 'knew' Hillary Clinton would be the next President. So far, she hasn't been......

Zam.....Rand is Santorum with a Shatner Turbo-2000 toup. (or if that's his real hair...it's even worse). Him getting the Nomination would be a miracle, especially since the RNC apparently is annointing Marco Rubio.

But the Presidency? It'd take that and that "total collapse of the economy" the Parnaoid/Survivalist Righties have been predicting for four years.

You might be right.

Of course, you might be wrong. Time will tell, and nothing else will.

Let me put it this way.....if Rand gets the GOP Nomination? I'll pull the savings, the vacation fund, the kids' college fund, cash in the stocks....and dump it all on his Dem opponent to win.

 

[Saladin2]

Rand Paul would receive zero electoral votes...Just like his father...He is weird ....and a Loser
