What a fucking badass: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/rand-paul-message-republican-convention-audit-pentagon-230638244.html (http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/rand-paul-message-republican-convention-audit-pentagon-230638244.html)
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul will use his prime-time speaking slot at the Republican National Convention to urge party members to be more open to scrutinizing military spending, a position that puts him in the minority within the GOP.
Paul made the remarks Sunday when he addressed thousands of supporters at a rally for his father, former Republican presidential candidate and Texas Rep. Ron Paul, at the University of South Florida.
"Because we've talked about audit the Fed so much, we're now talking about audit the Pentagon," Paul told the crowd. "Now, because of Hurricane Isaac, it's not sure whether my message will get to the Republican National Convention, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to be able speak. And one of the messages that I will give to them is that Republicans need to acknowledge that not every dollar is well spent or sacred in the military and we have to look for ways to make every department accountable."
Paul will speak at the convention between 7:00 and 8:00 PM eastern time Tuesday, according to an updated schedule made public Sunday.
Both Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, have vowed to increase defense spending if elected.

I'm sure Romney and Ryan plan on doing that as soon as they get into office
don't forget the Republican platform is not the Romney platform
the head of the Republican party told us that
to be specific
what Reince said is
"This is the platform of the Republican Party. It's not the platform of Mitt Romney."

Are you even literate?

Are you even literate?
I assume this already in the Republican party platform

Although this would never happen, there is SHIT TONS of waste to be dealt with with regards to defense spending.

Is there anything about the Republican platform in the article I posted? Is there anything about Romney or Ryan even endorsing the Paul position?
Do you just spew the same bullshit every time you see the words "Republican" and "convention" in the same sentence, regardless of the message or topic of that sentence?
-
YES!
Good things coming? 8)

Rand is such a "fucking badass" for planning on saying something he's said many times before

Just laughing about your man crush on Rand for making a speech in front of a friendly audience
You've got a pretty lame standard for a "fucking badass"

More proof that you're an idiot. You could at least do a 30-second google search to see if you've already been pre-empted:

FEMA is a complete waste.

Ron Paul's problem is that he's constantly dropping truth bombs. Rand Paul has a more polished approach - but that doesn't stop him from (willingly) getting into trouble from time to time:
-
FEMA is a complete waste.
shouldn't Rand Paul be saying that ?
-
shouldn't Rand Paul be saying that ?
Has a reporter asked him?
-
hell I agree, major waste.
-
shouldn't Rand Paul be saying that ?
He should be. FEMA, like most of the others are all bs.
-
so we all agree ?
now is the time to talk about the fact that FEMA is a waste of money ?
-
so we all agree ?
Yup.
now is the time to talk about the fact that FEMA is a waste of money ?
Since you brought it up, yes.
-
Yup.
Since you brought it up, yes.
right on
I can't wait for Rands Speech

Every single part of the government should be audited, and at the end wipe it clean of waste, fraud, and hand out programs. One big swipe all at once!

How about we just kick out every politician, and start completely over, programs and all?

Exactly! Where most politicians would think to themselves "that's not a popular point to mention", Ron Paul says fuck it and gives you the cold hard, shitty ass truth. :P
He would have gone further telling weak people want they want to hear though, and sugar coating.
-
So we all agree
If Rand has any balls he will talk about why FEMA is a total waste of money

fema actually does some good things, guys. When my trailer park got flooded bad during charley, they gave my little bro/sis a brand new free fema trailer for a year. Top of the line everything. In port charlotte, they had an actual 'fema city' with almost 1000 trailers off of I-75. when katrina smashed new orleans, they got tens of thousands of ppl housed in TX.
If you don't have fema to respond to major events, who is going to do it? Local resources stay home and worry about their own decimated pool/screen room - they don't care about joe local's demolished roof.

of course FEMA does some good things and if they didn't exist the disaster response would be left to the states or I guess volunteers (Isn't that Ron Pauls idea). Rand doesn't have the balls to talk about FEMA while there is a hurricane raging outside. Heck, Chris Christie was praising FEMA's response to Hurricane Irene just almost exactly one year ago.

Nah...this is just posturing. The DOD is actually been mandated undergo AuditReadiness from the SecDef. Soon, it will all be getting audited. And it's no secret. But all the issues that are always in play will still be in play. Oh...you wanna get rid of that plane? Well, that plane is made in my district so we need to keep it, etc. etc.
The politics aren't going anywhere, lol.

Do you honestly think libertarians and conservatives walk around thinking about every alphabet soup gov't agency they'd like to abolish? Why would he mention some random government agency if he wasn't asked about it by a reporter? It goes without saying.
And BTW, FEMA is a textbook example of moral hazard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_hazard).

Ron and (I'm pretty sure Rand) have specifically cited FEMA as an agency they would like to abolish
what better time to remind everyone of that then during a hurricane when any human being in the path of the storm might benefit from having such an agency
Like I said previously, if he had the balls he would do it
you on the other hand, think he is a "fucking badass" for getting up in front of a crowd of Republicans and whatever the heck teaaggers are and talk about auditing the Pentagon. After that he'll probably continue the fucking badass tour by speaking to a group of 2nd graders and tell them all how much he likes ice cream and cake

I didn't realize you were being sarcastic before! ;D
We should abolish FEMA.
Ever heard of the Red Cross?
