New! That is the new word repeated several times in Rand Paul's announcement that he will seek the office of the presidency, and why not? After all, something new is usually better than something old however in Rand Paul's case, everything new is old again.
Ask women if they support a Personhood bill that would deny women their right to an abortion even in cases of rape or incest, because Rand Paul is on record as supporting a Personhood bill.
Paul talks about liberty but not for Gays who want to marry as he's against that. Liberty for African-Americans for Paul is to simply piss on their backs and tell them it's only rain and by the way, go find another lunch counter.
Paul is on record as having problems with The Civil Rights Act his party helped to gut. He is for businesses discriminating by the very fact that a business is a business. The little plagiarizer also has a record of surrounding himself with white supremacists and putting them on his team e.g, Jack Hunter, the Southern Avenger, who Paul co-authored a book with in 2011 and who stated his support for the assassination of President Lincoln.
In 2009 Paul's senate campaign spokesman was forced to resign because of a racist comment and picture of a lynching on Martin Luther King weekend. Now Paul is suddenly the black man's best friend. And its been said, never trust just a Greek bearing gifts?
Paul's a typical Libertarian and republican at that and they have theirs and screw everyone else. Paul wanted to repeal The Affordable Care Act and then Paul admitted the ACA was in effect working for Kentucky, but he continued to double-talk the issue and still wants to repeal the ACA.
"There’s a lot of questions that are big questions that are beyond just the exchange and the Kynect and things like that,” Paul said. He reiterated that he would like to “repeal all of Obamacare,” but added, “Can a state still have an exchange? You know we live in a 50-state union so some states could have exchanges. They already did before Obamacare.”
“I think the real question that we have in Kentucky is people seem to be very much complimenting our exchange because of the functionality of it ...
The senator had previously claimed that the law “strips away your freedom to choose what plan works best for you and your family” and urged Congress to “repeal this partisan mess of a law so we can start over with real input from the American people and members of both parties.”
Since enrollment began in October, Kentucky has been a model for effective Affordable Care Act implementation, enrolling over 400,000 people in health insurance coverage."

" In the environmental area, (Paul's) signature measure is the Defense of Environment and Property Act. On its surface, the goal of the law is to cut back on federal jurisdiction over wetlands. The bill would drastically cut back on federal protection for wetlands, small streams, and rivers in the Western United States. But its stealth provisions are even worse. They would make it hard for EPA to exercise even its remaining jurisdiction and would make it much harder to enforce the law against polluters.
Mostly, the proposed statute tries to enact into law the conservative plurality’s interpretation of the Clean Water Act in the Supreme Court’s Rapanos case. It’s hard to see the “Defense of Environment” part of this statute. It would prevent the government from protecting wetlands that are intimately connected with rivers and lakes, simply because it’s necessary (literally) to scratch below the surface to see the connection. Only connections visible above ground count. Also, only continuously flowing streams would be covered, which leaves out some significant waters in the West that dry up during some summers. The law does purport to leave EPA some regulatory powers, but then takes away EPA’s ability to effectively exercise those powers."
... Paul decided to burnish his anti-environmental credentials by calling for the U.S. to “drill in every possible conceivable spot.” There’s certainly no reason why a person can’t be a conservative and also care about the environment — but Rand Paul does not seem to be that person."
