He defended free markets
He defended sovergn rights on private property

Hello,

Whatever his position on the issues, the man is quickly proving to be a lousy politician.

"You've all got plenty of hills, no one will miss a hill" is not the correct thing to say.

In fact, it is almost a catastrophically stupid thing to say.

BLUESUN: the United States was not created to be a capitalist country... was not created to be a corporatist nation... it was created to be a democracy to represent "We the people", not "We the CEOs". . Apparently Rand Paul doesn't know much about US history.

Those things are an anathema to Leftists. They want to demagogue anything that doesn't smack of total, big gov't control over the lives of every man, woman and child.

They're still singing the late 19th century tune in the dawn of the 21st century.

Seems Maxine Waters is more in line w/ the thinking that Sig et al are hoping for....

Thank you Anthony,

Rap, maybe you missed that it was I who posted, not sig. Not close enough to your back yard there?

Bscm,

It's a pretty moronic position to take if you are running for senator from Kentucky. People quite fond of their hills there, and not looking for a big strip mine, cause, you know, its not like they need the cash, and I don't think you'll find them on the lefty socialist side, its more like this:

Hmm, (looks at kentucky) nice state you got here. Hey, here's an idea, let's level it, pave it, and put up a walmart. Guys, you should come down to Harris county texas some time, which is where I'm really from, not harlan county ky, and oh yeah, vote for me..DOH!

Ah well, free election for random democrat.

BTW, For a solid understand of how the right loses, check the above logic.

Crappy, your "arguments" aren't arguments, they are moronic RWA talking-point generalities. You can make them, but noone except your buddies will listen. It's a shame you haven't anything worth adding.

BSB, yours are only slight less nonsensical. Politics is about compromise, and about representing the people. I happen to know a few Kentuckians who abhor the destruction caused by coal, and the simple FACT is that coal is deadly in more ways than one can count.

Aside from all that, if he made that statement, it IS his dirge (I could't get past the first 30 seconds, and was surprised I lasted that long). I don't need to hear another words from Rand Paul; he hasn't got the common sense or intellect of his father and hasn't a snowball's chance in hell of getting elected. If I'm wrong, feel free to remind me afterwards, but I'm not. He's digging himself in deeper and deeper every time he opens his mouth.

We were created as a republic. Drop the democracy garbage....It means nothing. CEO's are people tooooooo....."trade with all nations" sounds kinda capitalistic to me. But, you know this.....

Huh. Guess I never realized 'til now that you consider yourself a leftist.

I mean, it IS you who is arguing that the big government take complete control over the oil spill caused by a corporation, isn't it?

Hey, they own the rig, they control the lease on that area of the Gulf, and they were just exercising their sovereign rights to not comply with safety regulations and inspections, so what's the big deal? No harm, no foul. Besides, as Rand Paul would say, what's one more body of water in a world full of oceans?
