Dick Cheney Endorses Not-Rand-Paul Kentucky Senate Candidate

If the guy has anti-Kentucky views, he can’t be all bad.

Opposes Federal drug enforcement, attacks Mitch McConnell, opposes Afghanistan surge, opposes war in Iraq, opposes Kentucky coal.

What’s not to like?

Paul continued: “We have legislators we sent to Washington who think their job is to be an errand boy or an errand girl for us…and grab as much federal money as they can get and bring it back.” Sitting at the table closest to the podium was Hal Rogers…CONGRESSMAN Hal Rogers. The 5th District Republican who went to Washington the same year Ronald Reagan did…1981. Rogers is a prolific procurer of federal dollars (aka ‘pork’). Last year alone…according to Citizens Against Government Waste…Rogers hauled home $80-million dollars in pork. So was Rand Paul CALLING OUT Rogers?…in Rogers’ own district?…within shouting distance of the Hal Rogers Parkway?…fingering Rogers for being part of the spend-aholic DC crowd?…with Rogers SITTING RIGHT THERE?

I think I’m in love.

I love the ‘vertigo lines’ behind his head. That Rand Paul is strange!

I think Cheney’s making a principled stand here as he’s always come down against the offspring of famous politicians achieving success in politics just because of their name. He thinks it’s really unfair.

I wouldn’t have expected someone named Charles Merwin “Trey” Grayson III to hit a guy with glasses, even if that guy’s name was Randal Howard “Rand” Paul.

Also, Tré Gayson is a former demoncrap who voted for William Jefferson Blythe III. C’mon Dr. Peepers, fight back!

Waiting for the earnest Paultard trolls in 3-2-1…

[re=539234]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: Rand Paul’s hypnotic powers/vertigo lines are overpowering me…must ….support… in….primary….

He buys bourbon and fried chicken made in New York City!

RAND PAUL WILL HYPNOTIZE YOU WITH HIS PAULTARD POWRZ

ALSO LOOK AT THAT HAIR – HE’S A GHEY

[re=539230]V572625694[/re]: Yeah, but didn’t you see his view on the $5 million anti-terrorism center in Somerset, Kentucky?!

Who’s gonna attack Kentucky? I like Kentucky but no terrorist is gonna attack Kentucky.

Right about now, Osama is cackling with glee as he tells his minions, “Scrap that plan to drive a semi-truck loaded with explosives into the heart of Wall Street, boys. This is our new target!”

Paul Criticized The Gonzalez v. Raich Decision Which Allows For Federal Enforcement Against California Medicinal Marijuana Crops. “But from those decisions we kept widening and widening, and now we have sort of the Gonzalez v. Raich decision where they say, California wants to allow medical marijuana, and the federal government comes in and says, ‘Oh no, that defies the commerce clause also because that marijuana looks like other marijuana that could be sold interstate.’ So therefore even though you’re growing it, your own plants and using it for medicinal uses, that that somehow qualifies as interstate commerce.”

Ironically, the GOP will have to criticize the Gonzalez decision if they are to prevail in their argument that Obamacare is unconstitutional. So, the GOP establishment is attacking Paul for taking a position that the GOP establishment is taking to the Supreme Court.

Rand Paul doesn’t sleep with garden gnomes. That’s very stange. I’m Trey Grayson, and I’m not wearing any pants.

Get a rope.

This isn’t much of a surprise, as Cheney knows that it takes money to torture, deficits be damned.

Plus, if pot is legal and available, it is really hard to find anyone to carry out your orders to torture…., or find you unicorn blood for that matter.

[re=539253]user-of-owls[/re]: Anti-terrorism/force-protection FAIL at that courthouse! Need moar standoff!

The Paultards are nuts, but they’re always good for getting wignut-on-wignut violence started, and that is a beautiful thing to see. Still, either one of these guys would be better than the senile delinquent who held up unemployment benefits out of spite KY has in there now.

[re=539256]ph7[/re]: No, there’s a big difference. See, with medical marijuana, the feds are enforcing a federal law that the Republicans like, over a state law supported by liberal hippies. With health care, the federal law is one that Republicans don’t like, so you can see how the rules are different.

RAND PAUL FOR SENATE, 2010!

[re=539230]V572625694[/re]: Rand Paul was “fingering Rogers…with Rogers SITTING RIGHT THERE?”

Not a pretty picture.

OT but talking of wingnuts, someone has severed a gas line at the house of that poor rep’s brother, where the Teabaggers published the wrong address, FBI are investigating according to my pretend gf, if I were a lesbian, Tamron Hall.

[re=539287]Limeylizzie[/re]: The fucktards are revolting!

[re=539230]V572625694[/re]: [re=539292]Hooray For Anything[/re]: I’m in love….
You drug addicts would support anyone who wants to legalize your dangerous, harmful and habit-forming addictive addiction, regardless (or, as they say in Kentucky, irregardless) of his other political views. All you care about is getting your dope. I’ll bet you have marijuana track marks all over your arms. legs and penises.

Trey Grayson or Rand Paul?
It must REALLY suck to live in Kentucky.

[re=539263]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: On the other hand, we could switch to waterbonging detainees. Our success rate would go through the roof. We could bribe them out of intel with twinkies.

Has the toothless, drunken, ATV riding hillbilly caucus weighed in on this yet?

exactly how many al-qaeda plots have been directed at the great state of kentucky? trey grayson always be campaigning with the state’s most important issues in mind.

[re=539253]user-of-owls[/re]: Who’s gonna attack Kentucky?

I guess he never heard of a certain guy by the name of Gold-Fingah! who attacked Fort Knox, Kentucky, so he could corner the market on gold, thereby enabling him to take over the Federal Reserve Bank.

[re=539329]iantenna[/re]: Ahem. AHEM.

[re=539324]Cape Clod[/re]: ATVs, I love ATVs, they do Darwin’s work. Not a day goes by the newswires don’t report some bizarre drunken hillbilly ATV-related death. All of which, I am certain, were preceded by the traditional “last words” of the redneck, “Hey, ya’ll, watch this.”

[re=539311]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: you can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill. i will choose a path that’s clear. i will choose freewill.

[re=539328]Mr Blifil[/re]: So true. Believe me – I know what happens – you get to he website, and it’s passed out, and you gotta walk all the way back to the TV.

Let’s throw Rand Paul a freebie. Here’s the only ad he’ll need to run in Kentucky:

I’m Rand Paul and I’m running against the Harvard educated corporate lawyer, former Democrat and Bill Clinton supporter, Charles Merwin Grayson III. Kentucky needs a senator with hard working Kentucky values who stays true to his values no matter how the political winds are blowing. Times are troubled enough without having to wonder which liberal democrat Charles Merwin Grayson III is supporting this year. I look forward to your support in November. Thank-you.

[re=539379]Starrigavan[/re]: [re=539239]Extemporanus[/re]: Thanks for running with it — that just might work!

[re=539256]ph7[/re]: Really? I’ll have to trust you on the statute analysis but if you are right that would be one beautiful cluster fuck.

[re=539306]GOPCrusher[/re]: Actually the sucking starts at the local level where candidates for city council, water district, county commissioner and even dog-catcher will run on their right-to-life bona fides despite the fact that the office they’re seeking won’t take them within a hundred miles of a decision that will affect abortion rights.

Where’s the photo of the fat guy and the wheelbarrow?

Did he really say “I approve this national security message”? What a fucking wanker.

[re=539666]El Pinche[/re]: suck it hard

Just a reminder that anything can start to smell good if you let if marinate on you long enough. One of those important life lessons. Whew, the fresh air tells me I stayed too long.

“Suck it.” Was that Socrates or the culmination of you high school debate prowess? Oh, well it might be your aunt of course, pissed again about my cheating and gallivanting about with her sisters.

Sorry, that was out of line. I’m sure you have very nice loafers and pay your taxes semi regularly.

[re=539768]mcaster24[/re]: Care to back up your shit, troll? Either deficits don’t matter (Dick Cheney), in which case Go Fuck Yourself (Dick Cheney); or they do, in which case the health care reform recently passed into law will reduce the deficit by $118 billion over the next ten years. Either way, fuck you.

Come back when you’ve got something substantive to say, and not the usual FOX News talking points. Those got stale around here a long time ago.

So, this government program, since many other government programs have helped reduce deficit spending (name one) and have gone according to the Congressional budget office numbers (I can name many that haven’t, like 90% of them…)

http://www.bankruptingamerica.org/2010/01/21/5-recent-government-programs-that-went-way-over-budget/

will be deficit neutral after 10 years (really?). Oh where to start….
Well first, seems to me that when a government program want to say it reduces deficit spending it takes out pieces that would normally be attached to the bill and separates it into other unlinked add ons and addendums to come later.

Like, maybe a large portion of DOCTOR’S SALARIES under the medicare plan. Does seem like it should be connected to the HEALTH CARE bill eh? Well in the bill just passed it isn’t.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Medicare-fix-would-push-apf-2700343586.html?x=0&.v=2

in fact, unless doc salaries are indeed cut then that places this health care bill at 59 BILLION DOLLARS in the red. So are choices are
A. Cut doctors medicare reimbursement by 40% and cause 1/3 of them to move to New Zealand. or
B. push our country deeper into debt by 59 BILLION DOLLARS!

Oh, and that word hurts my sensitive ears. Please hold it down over there.

[re=539828]mcaster24[/re]: One third of American doctors will flee to New Zealand? Really? Does New Zealand know that? Do these doctors know that New Zealand employs a health care scheme more in line with single payer than the market based system we’ve decided to stay with here in the U.S.? New Zealand’s health care is all paid for through taxes. OMFG.

If you didn’t know that, you really are a simpleton.

Oh and thank you. I’m not smart enough to tell if it is a back handed compliment or not but I’ll take it at face value.

Probably not though, I’m in school and tend to have a general dislike for politicians and news shows in general on both sides (sad that we only have 2 sides to choose from these days.)

Preach on brother… or sister…

At least on the war, I am in complete agreement. We went there needlessly and have spent an ungodly amount of treasure for very little gain and lots of blood. No child left behind…. also a fucking nightmare that places mandates and incentives on children to be rote memorizers instead of actually acquiring a passion for learning. My brother is an elementary school teacher and we’ve had many conversations about this.

But, I think the disagreement lies in who should cast the social safety net!? Not that there should be one. The government doesn’t have money to do this, and LOTS of prior experience with government programs tells us that it will be inefficient, and when it becomes inefficient, with limited amount of funding, some form of rationing MUST take place. So, politicians must choose to ration in areas where there is as little political blowback as possible. Because, make no mistake, government regulation of market prices means that private insurance companies will be slowly put out of business due to non-competitiveness, then we really will have a single payer system, which some seem to want. For those who do, look past Michael Moore’s show and look at average wait times in canada for non-general surgeries.

http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2007/10/15/waittimes-fraser.html

Your case for where you would spend your tax dollars is a valid one, and I appreciate the willingness to engage in meaningful conversation. I just disagree that it’s viable for this country long-term.

[re=539871]mcaster24[/re]: “New Zealand has an indigenous population, doesn’t provide free medical care for illegal immigrants whom they don’t collect taxes from”

LOL, Paultard, as an actual New Zealander living in New Zealand, I’m interesting to hearing about how the “indigenous population” affects your line of argument. How are Maori people relevant?

So… just making sure I understand here, you are saying that single-payer health only works in countries where there are relatively fewer browns? Remember that 15% of this country are brown AND indigenous.

No, WHO is saying, and I agree, that our population is trending rapidly toward an eclectic mix of race and nationality as far as population, which is a good thing (if done legally.) But, it also postulates that this genetic mix brings in a larger range of genetic predispositions and conditions for the U.S. physician to treat. I’m in med school, and its STAGGERING the amount of different predispositions you see when treating different populations. Pub Med is a good site if you are interested in this. And, the fact that we have illegals who don’t seek treatment out of fear until its too late and very costly doesn’t help things.

“Trey”? LOL. Is he a Romney?-or, FRENCH?

Ha, actually I plan to go into primary care, which is definitely low on the wage scale. Not to mention 200,000 dollars of debt most med students accrue. I don’t expect someone to feel sorry for me, I chose it. But, I also think it’s quite unfair to assume you know my motivations. Especially since a large chunk of med students are for it, because they see what happens to people who get screwed by dickhead insurance companies.

I agree that the system needs reformed, I just don’t think bankrupting our country in the process is a good idea.

But, namecallers do what namecallers do best!
