Rand Paul is at it again, pretending to be mystified that the USA is accepting Iraqi refugees, because after all, we won the war. Oh, hell, it's Rand Paul, so who knows, maybe he really sincerely believes it. Anyone who'd find Ayn Rand an impressive economic thinker, and who could claim to be both a libertarian and "pro-life," probably has no difficulty at all "remembering" all the parades in Iraq where grateful Iraqis threw flowers to the American troops. For all we know, he remembers seeing the black and white newsreels of the wild crowds at Baghdad's Arc de Triumph, jumping up on jeeps to kiss the victorious GIs. He
"We won in Iraq, when it serves my xenophobic point, but Obama lost in Iraq, when it serves my Obama-bashing point.
Because really, I can tell the Republican voters literally anything, even if it contradicts something I just said, because it doesn't matter really, they'll vote for the person with the R behind their name."
My judgment for GOP candidates tends to be bad because I usually examine and interpret based upon which one I figure is the least insane (2012, I thought Huntsman would do well) so for this election I'm thinking either Kasich or because he can easily step into Trumps shoes as an East Coast loudmouth: Christie. Neither will win, of course...
Hey according to these guys Somalia is a paradise and so is Messico's government model so maybe what we define as an unstable, ruined country that Europeans (and Americans) fucked over is to these guys the very model of an ideal state....
Can I just sum everything up here because I don't have time to catch up on every brilliant Wonkette post; I want to dope slap anyone voting for a Repub because stupid?
(to the tune of I am the very model of a modern major general, but my inspiration got up and left so I can't do but the first line, at least until after I neck down half this bottle of red wine)

... Republicans and "independents"... Don't forget the "independents". "They" love them some Rand Paul.
He's got a point. We let people from Alabama and South Carolina travel freely and actually live in the non-treasonous states.

Who wants "Trump Lite" when you can get the 200 proof original?
wait...you have a republican friend? You sure this isn't just a co-worker or a guy you see at the bar sometimes?
not that we would recognize. It's more like reptile mating.
Considering where he's from, Randy should probably be a little happier when the US shows generosity to the losers of a conflict.
Asshole.
When your constituents are idiots, you can't do or say anything smrt or you will lose them.
Trump? But has Trump ever asked forgiveness from the Bibble?

"I believe it means peace in our time!"
"Making the world safe for democracy!"
Right, right, I see, I mean, it's different from the second word on! Not even the same number of words! Conclusive! I salute you!
If it's turning purple, the guy should take the ring off immediately.
It is the very model of a libertarian ideal ...
