Yesterday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) appeared on Fox Business Network to continue this war on labor rights, using his time on the station to attack unions and claim their pay and benefits are too high. At one point during the interview, the senator began attacking “government unions,” saying they are “going to have to” contribute to their pensions and health care plans, just like Paul has to as a senator, and that Kentuckians back home don’t have any sympathy for government union workers because they pay for their retirements. see full story
How many of you Kentuckians who work for the government voted for this thoroughly ignorant sack of shit?
On the other hand, what should we expect from the electorate of a state with a mutli-million dollar “Creation Museum,” and which, although one of the poorest states in the country, wants to spend public tax dollars on an “Ark Museum?”
The scientific illiteracy here is obvious, as should be the Constitutional illiteracy – “Congress shall make no law repecting an establishment of religion-” but of course the states’ rights wackjobs claim that the Bill of Rights doesn’t pertain to the states. . . So Kentuckians will continue to be proud in the ignorance . . .and maybe also proud to be the state with the highest number of fatalities each year from someone attempting to shoot a beer can off someone else’s head. And it’s too bad their aim isn’t better; we could put a serious dent in the white trash population in Kentucky and the other Neanderthal Southern red states, and perhaps stop their poison of abject stupidity from seeping northward.
If you can stand there and tell those lies to the public on national TV, and with a straight face then you are truly a politician. Because a politician doesn’t know what the truth is…..
This guy just spits stuff out there for the fear mongers. They want to believe this idiot. Because they voted for him. They have to believe this idiot or they would have to say that they were wrong for putting him in office. Ask the idiot if he pays for Health insurance, then ask him What his salary is and I bet you he will shut the hell up..
Next up on his agenda will be taking the right to vote away from women and
Blacks- like in the good ole days

“When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Kentucky, because everything there happens 20 years after it happens anywhere else.” – Mark Twain
These new members of Congress remind me of former Sen. Joseph McCarthy. His prime purpose was to have a following by bandying about wild claims and statistics, none of which were truthful. In the end ,after a severe dressing down from then President Eisenhower he crawled back into his hole and remained quite for the rest of his term! Mark Twain said, ” history may not always repeat itself but sometimes it sort of rhymes!” These new members of Congress, like Joe McCarthy, are one term wonders who sow nothing more than discontent for our great nation!
WE NEED TO GET THESE A-HOLES OUT OF POWER.THEY ARE DESTROYING THE COUNTRY WITH THEIR MINIMUM WAGE STANDARDS FOR EVERYBODY BUT THEM. WHERE ARE OUR GRANDKIDS GOING TO GET A LIVABLE WAGE JOB IF THESE REPUBLICANS HAVE THEIR WAY ? WHERE IS THE ‘SHARED SACRIFICE’ THEY SPOUT ABOUT ? WHAT ARE THEY WILLING TO GIVE UP ? INSTEAD OF ATTACKING THE WORKING PEOPLE THEY NEED TO ANNOUNCE THE WAGES AND BENEFITS THEY WILL GIVE UP. LEAD BY EXAMPLE MR- POLITICIAN. THE WORLD IS WATCHING.
I think this is a conspiracy to destroy this country from within. Fox is owned by foreign interests, including a Saudi. Fox does nothing but get the stupidest among us to help turn this country into an Oligarchy.
If REMARKABLY IGNORANT, “low information voters” go to the polls and vote,
the result is REMARKABLY IGNORANT REPRESENTATIVES that go the State
Houses and capitols of America to become the REMARKABLY IGNORANT
LEGISLATORS that we see and hear on the Air Waves today making REALLY
DUMB AND IGNORANT statements that turn out to be lies, exaggerations
and errors of omission involving most everything they are involved in….
including LEGISLATION THEY INTRODUCE AND PASS INTO LAWS OF THE
LAND.
Senator Rand Paul and numerous of his colleagues are guilty of such
perjurious behavior…the remarkable thing is that when their errors are
pointed out or refuted, they make no apology for telling the “lies” or retract
their support of others that did the same thing…
We have shamefully bad government as a result.
Downright stupidity appears to be a NATIONAL ILLNESS.
What else is new? This idiot is another dumbass Teabagger. All these people do is lie. F&%king scumbag hypocrites. This asshole now has his government pension, “socialist” government health coverage, ect…. F#$k all these stupid mother f$#kers.
