Rand Paul tea party nut goes wild, stomped on woman's head for demonstrating
- Thread starter tmarket
- Start date
Well, at least we don't go for unreformed segregationists. I sat up when I heard the beginning of his acceptance speech. I'm old enough to remember George Wallace. What was his slogan? "Send them a message!"
That's just birther demagoguery, meant to appeal to the folks who don't think Obama was born here. What is that, 70% of the Republican party?
Repeats that message thingie. This line is what really made me take notice. At this point, I remembered this was the guy who had no problem with segregation.
But that's the past; unfortunately for him and his supporters, segregation's not coming back. What's going to be real fun is seeing what this Cro-Magnon focuses on, and just how far he takes it.
BTW, it wasn't much of a Tea Party tidal wave; outside of the South,
- Joe Miller lost to Mikulski in Alaska; did Sarah Palin notice?
- Sharron Angle got whipped in Nevada.
- Christine O'Donnell was treated like the joke she was.
- Paladino got his ass handed to him.
- Bennett beat Ken Buck in Colorado.
Outside the South, the Republicans won when they fielded regular, normal candidates. But Tea Party folks didn't do so well.
As usual, extremism won out in the South, but the rest of the country kept its sanity. Rand Paul and his soon to be good buddy Jim DeMint should take note; outside of the South, the Tea Party didn't amount to much more than a bucket of warm spit.
Stompers might win south of the Mason-Dixon, but north of it some semblance of intelligence and manners is expected.
I have a message -- -- a message from the people of Kentucky, a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words: Weâve come to take our government back!
That's just birther demagoguery, meant to appeal to the folks who don't think Obama was born here. What is that, 70% of the Republican party?
But tonight, thereâs a Tea Party tidal wave, and weâre sending a message to them!

You need to learn more about where that Mason-Dixon Line runs.

Considerably more than a warm bucket of spit for a political movement (not even an organized political party) was able to accomplish in a little more than 18 months of existence.
