The Tea Party faithful keep getting more and more of Rand Paul's time. Speaking last night to a rally of those faithful Mr Paul tried to paint his followers as Mainstream! Oh boy. Just because you have some ideas that crazy people share does not mean you are mainstream.
"To those who want to paint us as extremists, I defy them go out and poll those questions," said Paul, referring to term limits and balanced budgets. "Find out what the American public wants. Find out why we won an enormous victory in the primary when no one expected it. Because the message resonates that people are sick and tired of an overreaching government, of a deficit out of control. They want their government back."
Here's an idea for you Rand, I voted for Barack Obama for President and he won. Over 50% of voters selected him. We wanted change from the ways of Republicans who ran our country in the ground, sent our sons and daughters to senseless wars, and made us less safe on SO many levels. Now that is the mainstream and we aren't going away. Our ideas are a hell of a lot more mainstream that you Republitarians.
And trying to claim that Term Limits are such a good idea. Ask Ron Lewis, former Republican representative from KY-02, your district. He ran on Term Limits in the 1994 but forgot all about it when his term was up. You'll be different? What about Ron Paul, your daddy. How many terms has he served I wonder?
Update: It seems that daddy has served a total of 10+ terms. With 7 of them consecutive to the present.
Hell, for this time only, I'm for term limits to. I'm gonna help limit your term to zero, nil, empty-set by getting Jack Conway elected. Here's his Act Blue page.
