Rand Paul Mocks Newt Gingrich: 'He Has More War Positions Than He Has Wives'

Rand Paul Mocks Newt Gingrich: ‘He Has More War Positions Than He Has Wives’

Politics • April 2011 • Views: 1,279

Last night, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) spoke at the Congressional Correspondents Dinner. At one point, Paul referenced these flip-flops by Gingrich to criticize both his politically driven foreign policy positions and his infidelity to his wives. Paul also poked fun at Fox News, saying that it is having a hard time deciding what it likes more, bombing the Middle East or attacking President Obama, in deciding its opinion on Libya:

I'm impressed. The audience was dead quiet while he was talking about Fox News. Dumbfounded, I suspect.

I'll be more even impressed if he manages to avoid apologizing to the AM radio blowhard.

Yay, the honeymoon is over. Libertarians and Republicans can now resume tearing each other apart. Especially since it it should become apparent shortly, if it isn't already, that Republicans are going to "betray" libertarians now that they successfully used them to get into office.

One of the best thing about the Pauls is that they have clear principles and stick to them. Granted, many of those principles are crazy, but I'd much rather deal with honest crazy person than a dishonest lying scumbag like Newt.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. With that said he hits the nail on the head.

I agree with what you are saying, for instance, those stupid little arian nation guys running around spouting off racist crap and how they want separate homelands blah, blah, bleck. They are ostracized by the larger community, they know they are despised and people hate them. But, i know where they stand. They are very honest about how they feel and what they are trying to do. It's the other white supremacists that pretend to be honorable members of their community and hold government positions but secretly support racist agendas who make me sick. I believe the Paul's are also like this. Ron Paul has some despicably racist friends, and the trouble he got into with his shockingly racist newsletters, tells me he is one of these despicable dishonest racist, anti semetists. He is smart and dishonest enough to know he needs to hide it to climb the ladder of political power. I don't find the Rands honest at all.

If a racist douchebag makes comments on another douchebag's philandering, does it definitively prove which is the douchiest of the two?

re: #6 Cankles McCellulite

There's another angle to this. Ron Paul being a favorite to all kinds of screwballs from Creationists to Nazis is directly attributable to his discontent with the constitution. Ron Paul doesn't believe in the separation of church and state. Ron Paul believes that the federal government should stay out of state matters.

So if L Ron had his way, removing the First Amendment and the Supremacy Clause, the Creationists would be free to not only teach Creationism in school and not have to disguise it by calling it "critical analysis", the racists/neo-confederate screwballs/anti-abortionists, or whatever type of crazies would be free to enact whatever nonsense ideas are in majority in their local state because they're free from the shackles of the constitution, which Ron Paul demonstrably hates, even though the Ronbots like to market him as a "champion of the constitution".
