GOP Will Pay The Price For Rand Paul's Gaffe
by David Frum

"Guess what question will now be asked of every Republican senate and congressional candidate in debates leading up to November 2010?

It’s hard to think of a more settled controversy than the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Maybe only the Civil War – which (come to think of it) the elder Ron Paul managed to align himself on the wrong side of in the last cycle...

Thus far, Democratic efforts to create a vote-enhancing villain had failed. Now Rand Paul has contrived to volunteer himself. It’s as if his mission had been to walk across an empty room without tripping. Instead, he stepped out of the room, rummaged through a hall closet, found a vacuum cleaner, plugged it in, extended the wire, took a dozen steps backward, and then raced forward to catch his ankle, plunge face forward and break his nose. As unforced errors go, this may be one of the most impressively self-destroying in recent U.S. electoral history.

As a libertarian, Rand is likely in favor of the right of suicide. But thanks to him, the damage will now be felt by others too, who will now be called upon to explain where they stand on every fruitbat idea ever aired in back issues of the Ron Paul newsletter."

Still of the opinion Warren Buffett owes all his success to a gov't connection, dipshit?

What a joke.  Rand Paul is awesome and Frum is finished.  What did he sell 1,000 books?

He might be your new hero but it's hard not to admit he DID create some serious controversy, with what he said, it's not  like media was putting a spin on some of his words.

[Soul Crusher]

Not at all, I agree with his sentiments 100%. 

Its time we have a real debate in this nation on private property and what the govt can dictate to you.

I just hope that Obama, MadCow, Pelosi, et al keep it up.  They have no idea what is coming their way if they continue down this road of tyranny and marxist radicalism.

More trolling and childish name calling from Blanco.

Not helping your cause my friend, not one bit.

I don't have a "cause," dipshit. You are a waste of the planet's precious oxygen.

[Soul Crusher]

You dont have a brain either. 

Your only cause is to shill for the Communist-in-Chief.

What you are missing here is Rand is not against the civil rights act. He IS against the gov't meddling in where is shouldn't. Ever wonder why Rand WON this week? BECAUSE HE'S AGAINST BIG GOV'T. So to his believers, there's no controversy. If anything, it will solidify us further.

Rand says one thing about race.. and we are talking controversy.

Obama can hang out in a racist church for 20 years, be friends with domestic terrorists... and he gets elected.

SELECTIVE AND HYPOCRITICAL OUTRAGE ANYONE??

So you think the GOP has a winning strategy in Rand's belief that the companies should have the right to discriminate? You do realize that his stance is the exact same argument that the pro segregationist southern polls used to defend Jim Crow, right?  To take his stance is no different than saying going back to "Whites Only" signs in restaurant windows is fine in 2010.

What do you think of all of the repube politicians distancing themselves from Rand's statements regarding the CRA?

AGAIN, That's NOT the point. That's not what he meant. If you read what he said about the civil rights act... ahh forget it. What he is saying is that gov't should have not intervened into business/private sector. I guess you are a believer in big gov't? I don't believe in whites only and to lump me in that nonsense is BS bro. But that is typical of your ilk, when people disagree with you they are racists. But I thought liberals were tolerant? hahahahaha...
If you read anything I wrote before you wiill know I am not in love the with the republican party at the moment. So for them to distance themselves from Rand is typical of a party with no backbone.

[240 is Back]

msnbc and friends are SCARED SHITLESS of rand paul.

He's his dad with hair and youth.  He is ACTUALLY a conservative, not the lame posers like Romney and Palin that you guys can't blow hard enough.

So they're gonna call him a racist to marginalize him.

[Soul Crusher]

Its not going to work.  The marxist left is going down hard on this one. 

[240 is Back]

they'll be just as successful as they were in their efforts to smear the birthers and the 911 skeptics.

the left base and some moderates will buy it.

the right base will get motivated and try to convince the moderates of the truth.

we've seen this shit before.  we can probably predict it every time a new tea party star moves up.  We can see FOX do it to, so dont wet your pants with 'leftstream media' bashing.

[Straw Man]

I watched the Rand Paul interview when it happened a couple of days ago and I was honestly dissapointed in how deceptive he was.  He never answered a direct question and instead tried to reframe the question as if being born black was somehow the same as choosing to carry a weapon.   Just Bizzaro and the Republican leadership couldn't run away from this guy fast enough yesterday

I don't have to read what Rand Paul said...I SAW his entire 20 minute tap dance on the issue on the Rachel Maddow Show.  It appears you are arguing in favor of something that you are quite poorly informed about.

When and where did I say you are racist?  Why are you so defensive when you were not even called a racist? LOL How about actually answering my questions if you are going to quote me?
Once again:
So you think the GOP has a winning strategy in Rand's belief that the companies should have the right to discriminate? You do realize that his stance is the exact same argument that the pro segregationist southern polls used to defend Jim Crow, right? 

I don't think Rand Paul is a racist. I think he is arguing ideological purity and he is coming up against the hard truth of political reality. Not to mention he is simply quite backward and lost on the issue of The Civil Rights Act. I won't even go into how this wing nut wants to repeal the Americans With Disabilities Act, abolish the Department of Education, etc. Total libertarian nutjob that is starting to get fully exposed to the general public.

[Soul Crusher]

We should abolish the Dept of Education.  It does nothing but suck up tax dollars. 

We should instead use the money for teachers at the local level instead. 

The ADA has been little more than a cash cow for trial lawyers.

Ask your wife how she would feel about "Women Not Allowed" signs in the windows of certain establishments. Or liquor stores selling alcoholic beverages to minors. Or the FDA not being allowed to inspect the food of "private companies" that distribute goods through retail outlets.

This women is a complete moron.She does this crap ALL the time[which is why no one watches her].She did it with a guy representing F.A.I.R she is as big a race baitor as Jesse Jackson.Once again though NEVER would she call Obama a racist despite the OVERWHELMING evidence right in front of her face but will imply that Pauls view is racist or extreme.
