Rand Paul Preparing To Announce Plan To Not Be President

Mind: Blown

Spoiler alert, again: Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is not going to be president. He is not even going to be the Republican nominee for president in 2016. Thanks to some special rules in Kentucky that you can only seek one office at a time, it isn’t even legal for him to run for president, if he wants to simultaneously try to keep his Senate seat, which he does, because even he knows he is not going to be president.

That doesn’t mean he isn’t going to make a big show of pretending, though. According to “aides” and “associates” and “people close to him,” the Aqua Buddhist is planning to announce his charade on April 7, which, under Federal Election Commission guidelines, would allow him to siphon some or all of the $2.9 million in his Senate campaign account into his presidential campaign account.


It will also give him time to make his pitch to the state’s Republican Party that they should throw out all their dumb election rules and schedules because he think he’s found a loophole that would allow him to run for Senate and president, even though that’s illegal, with some fancy accounting tricks and the party’s infamous reputation for mercy.

Mr. Paul is planning to make his case to the Kentucky Republican Party on March 7 that it should hold a presidential caucus instead of selecting its candidate in the primary scheduled for May 2016. The Senate primary would still be held in May, but a presidential caucus would be held earlier, so Mr. Paul technically would not appear twice on the same ballot. If that doesn’t work, the great libertarian self-certified ophthalmologist may decide to sue to have the law overturned, after which he will immediately resume talking about the importance of tort reform, because Republicans hate lawsuits, except for the ones in which they’re the plaintiff.

There are many reasons why Rand Paul should not be president — he’s an idiot, an asshole, a plagiarist, and a guy who cannot shut the fuck up about being a “doctor” (dude, you are a freakin’ eye doctor, OK?) to justify his medical opinion that Hillary Clinton is too old to be president, that the government has a compelling interest in mandatory quarantines of health care workers who do not have Ebola (for liberty!), and that parents should be free to not vaccinate their kids (for liberty some more!) because of how vaccines can cause “profound mental disorders,” which is something he apparently learned in eye doctor school. (And no, in case you’re the last moron on Earth who hasn’t heard, vaccines will not scramble your brain.)

1. It left out his national personhood, RTW bills; his anti-FEMA, Medicare, Medicaid and SS agenda.

As well as getting rid of the IRS, EPA, DOE, and DHS, of which 85% of its funding goes to FEMA and he wants to have privatized.

Also his Second Amendment Solution, Tenther Support, private militia stances, Bundystan cheerleading. He ran on 'reducing the deficit' in 2010 by extending the Bush taxes, admitting that it would be paid for by eliminating SNAP, Social Security, etc.

He is one of the strongest supporters of the Koch brother's 1980 Libertarian Party platform. It has not changed one bit. He is for polluters, selling off the commons and theocracy. I hope all those who claim to be on the left that support this man wake up.

Oh, there is so much wrong with him...

2. So much indeed. The dude is a full blown conspiracy theory nut bag.

I still don't get how he got elected to the Senate ... even if it was Kentucky.


I mean, the bozo thinks the "North American Union" new world order will have us using the "Amero" as currency soon.


Rand Paul still fears the Golden Amero of the North American Union:

3. Oh goodie. Him and his End the Fed, FEMA, IRS legions of Pauliban Troofers!

And as far as the North American Union and its attack on American sovereignty and eminent domain stealing from landowners, his Koch running buddy Rick Perry did all he could for that scam in Texas.

Just as they all have in every state they take over, in order to frack, pollute and steal resources like ground water and the state treauries to enrich their cronies. And the Ignoratti blame Obama, Democrats and the federal government, when it's Paul's corporate donors doing it.

If their lips are moving when they speak of treason and conspiracies, they mean the exact opposite of what their followers think they do. And excuse me. but there's a crude expression that made me think:

'He'd sell a rat's asshole to a blind man for a wedding ring.'

I'd say that fits this bunch of grifters!

5. like father-like son, another career politician clogs a Gov. position for life.

wish 'these people' would get a real job.
