***SNIP

So why is that such a good thing for Democrats and our nation?

He could force Democrats to move way to the left.

Rand Paul hates things like Social Security and Medicare. He thinks both programs should be handed over to Wall Street CEO's and health care executives, so that they can be privatized and made profitable.

He hates long-term unemployment benefits and opposes a minimum wage altogether.

He has even said that companies should be able to discriminate based on race, gender or sexual orientation.

Economically, he thinks everything should be privatized, with the only exceptions being the military, police forces and the judicial system.

And he is totally opposed to a woman's right to choose to have an abortion.
