He is straight-up lying about it. Now he denies that he ever said that.

My ancestry goes back to a cynodont in the Late Permian period. Granted, there are parts of the family tree that are not well-documented yet. At some point during that dark period there must have been a liaison involving one of my forebears and a sauropsid, because duh. (See avi.) You wouldn't believe the shit I got for that back in middle school.

It's hard out there for a has-been deity.

Millennial? Rand Paul was born in 1963, which makes him either a late Boomer or an early Gen Xer, depending on your generational parameters.

(Millennials are all currently between the ages of 10 and 30.)

"Anybody who quotes what I said is lying." Seems to be a recurring theme among Republican politicians.

Sorry, the whole "prick us, do we not bleed?" bit doesn't work when the people you are trying to convince have poured an ocean of it into the streets.

I give it a 9.8 but you should have included the part where he goes to his doctor to get his scrip for boner pills and doesn't have to get a ultrasound wand shoved up his ass.

The pharmacy story Paultards love to tell is exactly what is wrong with their goofy ideology.

In their minds: Racist pharmacist refuses to sell vitally needed medicine to the 2 or 3 black families in town- their solution? The invisible hand of the free market will will fix all and another pharmacy will open to supply these needed drugs. Therefore, no need for any anti-discrimination laws

In real life: Nobody will do shit about the situation because the rest of the town will happily continue to do business with the racist pill pusher. No businessman will invest a penny to build a pharmacy to capture the .0001% of business, especially knowing he's risking having his business vandalized or torched. The rest of the town won't do business with the n*gger lover. Those 2 or 3 black families will end up having to STFU and suck it, or move. But at least the Paultard can congratulate himself on a solution that doesn't involve the "oppression of an overbearing government forcing its view on the free people™"

and they wonder why the rest of us laugh at them...

My guess is that his illegal drug stance is a lot like his father's

get the Fed out of the drug law bidness, but if the state government throws you in jail for 20 years for smoking a joint- too fucking bad!

I've never understood why so many potheads have fallen for that bait and switch bullshit
