I wish to thank Rand Paul

A couple of weeks ago I was visiting my family in the QC Area. My father lives in Illinois and across the river in Davenport or Bettendorf a conservative group was hosting Paul, Ted Cruz, Santorum, etc.

In the discussion, Paul backed Obama's diplomacy with Iran posture. He asked rather pointedly to Cruz, Rickie and the rest of the nut cases, "What are you gonna do? Bomb? Invade with troops?"
A question none of them answered.

I thought, "He doesn't sound like an idiot"

Then came his moronic screed about vaccines and I was reminded why I have thought him a jack ass since he first burst on the political scene.
I guess sitting on a stage with Cruz, Santorum and the rest of that toxic ilk can make almost anyone seem rational

Thank you Rand for reminding me that you are an idiot

For instance Ben Carson comes out defending immunization then blames increase of measles on "undocumented persons". They cannot help it. The more vocal they are the more irrational.
