Congratulations Rand! Spectacular Victory Speech

Will see if he votes any differently from how Bunning voted, or if he is more effective as a single vote than Paul's father. My guess is he will vote straight Repug party line 99% of the time.
Winning primaries is very different from winning elections.
Winning elections is very different from making any difference in legislation.

I don't get why all the people who like Ron Paul like this guy. They share the same last name, but their platforms are very very very different.
Ron and Rand are almost exactly the same on every issue. You have been duped by campaign rhetoric.
They be pretty similar.
I would try and distance myself from the stupid ass tea party (really not to scoff chumpdumper)
The tea party can't even agree on what they stand for, 90% of them are probably neocons who think Obama is a muslim
still I'm a Rand man myself
Actually you are right. I was wrong on some issues regarding Dr. Paul and I had no idea he was so bad in those issues. me.
Anyway, Rand had some nice quotes regarding Race yesterday on NPR and national TV.
Expect backpedaling today.

It's funny seeing the game being played. Same old racist smoke and mirrors lame adult-kid agenda game.
Rand should know politics is not about substance but public perception. Stupid on his part.
But lol at the americants falling into the same ol' traps. Matthews is such a goddamned clown.
Rand sure sounded like a "same ol'" politician when he wouldn't give a straight answer.
His message control slipped briefly. The reversion to form seems already to have happened.
I can't believe no one shut him up after blowing through multiple commercial breaks on Maddow.
So:
Manny expected backpeddling but none actually happened
ChumpDumper expected him to directly answer Rachel Maddow's questions so that he'd paint himself into a corner, but he was politicianally smart enough not to paint himself into any corner (because he's not even a politician yet, CD you know this, you know this) and he actually plays the situation almost perfectly.
Prahps.
Rand ing rules thus far as a politician and he will be the babyface of anti-in bents for this next election.
Chumpdumper:
But he did not answer Rachel Maddow's questions in the ways she phrased the questions!
But I'm chumpdumper and I am asking questions in my Chumpdumper way as if he's not trying to win an election! Girders!!! Girder strength!!!! Girder integrity!!!
Every time I see this thread le I have to remind myself it's not making fun of Japanese people.
It was quite obvious what Paul was doing.
It was very much like a politician. I guess you can pretend he's different if it makes you feel better.
If he's afraid to say what he really thinks, good for him.
Just sounded like an inexperienced politician.
You got that right.
Same ol'.
So bizarre. Why don't people understand that crap ( )?
Paul not answering a yes or no to the lunch counter question, in effect, meant he answered it.
he's a jackass, imo
This " Civil Rights issue" is the product of the media being unable to talk about anything other than the oil spill, the viewers getting burnt out, and an opportunity to demonize the actual Tea Party (not the Sarah Palin Express). Rand Paul is not running on a platform to repeal the Civil Rights Act of 1964, yet he is being painted as an "ideological extremist" even though he's doing nothing more than following the necessary implications regarding public regulation of private enterprise. If anything, he's exposing the gray in our country and the politicians and pundits (armchair politicians) are the extremists trying to paint everything black and white.
He's not a politician, otherwise he'd have backtracked and been afraid to have this discussion. I am officially out of the Maddow/Keith club, they took this too far knowing, as students of politics, that this particular MEDIA GENERATED issue is not a simple yes/no affair. YES, private business owners have a right to be assholes in a free society. NO, it is not right and we should do everything we can in our free society to express our dissapproval of RACE, GENDER, RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL, ARTISTIC, etc etc discrimination. Bottom Line: the Civil Rights Act accomplished what almost 100 years after the Civil War could not and Rand Paul would not have voted against it.
For real ya'll, no need to knee jerk into the game.
