“I DON’T THINK SHE’S FIT TO LEAD THE COUNTRY”
The battle for the 2016 “Republican” presidential nomination is wide open … although U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) is doing his best to seize the early frontrunner mantle from a field of would-be contenders including Tea Party darlings Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, his colleagues in the U.S. Senate.
Paul is also looking to differentiate himself from left-leaning establishment candidates like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan – not to mention social conservative candidates like former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum.
His preferred mode of differentiation? Going after presumed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
At a speech in his home state of Kentucky recently, Paul ripped into Clinton in no uncertain terms – mocking her as out-of-touch and “unfit” to lead the country.
According to National Journal reporter Shane Goldmacher, Paul asked attendees at a rally in Marshall County, Kentucky to observe a “moment of silence” for Clinton’s finances – which have become the subject of much discussion.
In June, Clinton told ABC’s Dianne Sawyer that she and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, left the White House penniless.
“We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt,” she said.
Clinton has since said she “regretted” the comment, referring to it as “inartful.”
“Somebody must have been praying for her, because she’s now worth 100, 200 million,” Paul said, later adding that Clinton didn’t have to suffer alone because “she had her limo driver with her for the last 17 years to commiserate.”
“I hope she can deal with only 100 million,” Paul continued. “I certainly wish that maybe she becomes preoccupied with something else because I don’t think she’s fit to lead the country.”
Ouch …
Paul isn’t the only “Republican” taking aim at Clinton. This week Rubio clarified a remark in which he referred to the former Secretary of State/ Senator/ First Lady as a “20th century candidate.”
Clinton is also taking fire from Democrats. In fact, sources in Washington tell FITS the entire dust-up over her wealth is being ginned up by Democratic operatives loyal to Martin O’Malley, the staunch anti-gun governor of Maryland who is eyeing a White House bid in 2016 (when his eyes are open, that is).
FITS has also learned of a national effort by far left progressive operatives aimed at eroding Clinton’s support among die-hard liberals that’s supposed to launch in the coming months.
For his part, Rand Paul will be in early-voting Iowa this week – and is scheduled to appear in early-voting South Carolina on behalf of U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney later this month.

It’s looking better and better for the Dems in ’16. Really, do the GOP not get it? Do they think they’re being an inclusive?
just as Leonard answered I am taken by surprise that a single mom can make $7907 in a few weeks on the internet . check my source ………………………. is.GD/RnTo2R
Wow! Thanks for staying on topic…you friends with Tango?
That’s a spam ad.
I know that…my reply was a JOKE.
But jokes are supposed to be funny…
Some Jokes are bad, Carrot Top.
That’s an example of a bad comedian.
Good Night, Johnboy.
‘Night, Carrot Top.
A Walton, you are not!
Hillary turned $1,000 into $100,000 in about a week, back when she was looking for money to invest in White Water. But I think she said “I don’t recall” like the Rose Law Firm billion records…so don’t ask her about it.
Dude… That’s a spam ad you replied.
Duh!!..Best and Brightest…LMAO….
Romney is the guy you really want to hit up and get you a tax sheltered, hide-a-way account.
No, but maybe there will be a job for people, w/o total F*#k ups in the White House, like we’ve had since 2008.
Investment will BOOM, if we can turn the Senate in 2014. And We’ll explode with joy and growth, once we put a Republican, who understands the American economy, in the White House in 2016. No reason not to try it…what we had with Ds D*#n sure failed…
” And We’ll explode with joy and growth…”
Already hard, Tango?
He suffers from Pre Election Ejaculation…
He suffers from Pre Election Ejaculation…
“Whitewater” and “Rose Law Firm” — anyone who becomes familiar with the details will understand Clinton’s rotting ethical and moral thinking…..
Blood clots only hurt her old senile memory.

Y’all loved it when Reagan was doing it.
Killary is a weak mind inside of a fat, alcoholic, weak body.

She is the disease of partisan politics.
She is not the cure.
She voted for the Iraq war “with conviction.”
She voted for the PATRIOT Act twice!
Would anybody in their right FREAKIN’ mind support Hillary?…Are there that many STUPID people? …. PLEASE Run her Democrats. You need as an air-headed, silver-spooned, out-of-touch White lady as you can get. And she is that and then some.
The Obamas hate her and Bill. And an non-engaged black voting community, especially in a year w/ Voter ID in effect, spells democrat LOSS!!!
Was it President Perry, President Gingrich, President Santorum, or President Romney who told you that?
Did I miss anyone you predicted would be President.
Presidents Cain and Bachmann have their hands in the air.
Does Rand still call himself a Dr. or did he give up on that?
According Louisville Courier-Journal, Rand Paul bills himself as a “board-certified” physician even though he is not actually certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology — the only recognized body that certifies doctors in his specialty.
Paul’s only certification was provided instead by something called the National Board of Ophthalmology, which is very convenient because he operates that organization himself. As the Courier-Journal explains drily, the American Board of Ophthalmology, which maintains a fully staffed headquarters in Philadelphia, has existed for roughly a century and currently lists about 16,000 doctors on its rolls. (Most hospitals and insurance companies strongly prefer doctors who are board-certified because certification indicates that they have kept up with changes in technology, best practices and so on.) The National Board of Ophthalmology has existed since 1999, when Paul “founded” it, lists no more than seven doctors, and its address is a post-office box in Bowling Green, Ky. He had claimed to be certified by both boards, but Courier-Journal reporter Joseph Gerth quickly discovered that claim was false.

How many cataracts have you removed in your life?
Paul provides a few free surgeries? That’s cool I guess. Too bad Rand doesn’t like the reform that might allow millions more to receive affordable access to surgeries and medicines.
I don’t doubt that Paul is a capable eye doctor per se, but I do find his dodgy certification thing a little curious at the very least.
You deadbeats already have access to medical procedures.
There is not a doctor in the world who will not accept cash or credit cards.
You freeloaders just want to put your risks onto other people’s backs through the bully of government FORCE.
Rand Paul ACED the MCAT and earned his way into Duke med school early.
He worked for 10 years under the American Board of Ophthalmology until he saw the corruption wherein old doctors did not have to take proficiency tests and Rand Paul called out their hypocrisy and when they refused to test the old grandfather doctors, Dr Paul and 200 other eye surgeons left the corrupt board and joined a competing board.
You pathetic hacks need to do your homework.
Translation, the American Board of Ophthalmology would not certify him, so he created his own certification and certified himself. He then lied about being certified by both entities until he was caught. Then he claimed it was because the American Board of Ophthalmology was corrupt.
Unlike Smirks I do question his capabilities as a doctor. I certainly would not want him operating on me. You can’t trust a proven liar.
No.
Rand Paul was already a member of the American Board of Ophthalmology when he left it for a more honorable board.
As I said previously, you hacks are pathetic.
You are too dim to even read the Wikipedia article on the issue.
Sorry, I think you are lying, just like he is or was. You sycophants are pathetic.
Your willful ignorance is typical of infected “liberals.”
This links shuts you down.
In 1995, Paul passed the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO) boards on his first attempt and earned board-certification under the ABO for 10 years. In 1997, to protest the ABO’s 1992 decision to grandfather in older ophthalmologists and not require them to be recertified every 10 years in order to maintain their status as board-certified practitioners, Paul, along with 200 other ophthalmologists, formed the National Board of Ophthalmology (NBO) to offer an alternative ophthalmology certification system.[25][26]

All statements from Rand. Where did the American Board of Ophthalmology, confirm it . No where of course. Rand is a typical lying politician. So who am I to believe, Rand, his wife, and 200 docs who could only get certified by Rand and his wife or 16,000 respected doctors.
I know which certification I would trust. In any event, all of that is irrelevant because he continued to lie and say he was certified by the ABO, when in fact he was not and he knew it.
Those doctors had been practicing under the ABO board and LEFT it because of their corrupt grandfather clauses.
Rand Paul was certified for a decade under the ABO.
All from Rand, But Rand is a prove liar. He lied about being certified. He knew he was not. He he could prove it, he could have said he was certified, but he didn’t he just lied. Probably, because he could not prove he ever was.
It is from the American Board of Ophthalmologists.
Their good old boy’s club is what caused physicians with integrity to leave their corrupt union.
Show me on link that proves he was ever CERTIFIED by the ABO. I’ll bet you can’t because Rand is a lying Sack of Shit. He can’t be trusted. He is a proven liar. He could have made it clear he was not CERTIFIED, but he chose to lie instead.
You are a moron groupie.

Facts are fun. Your old bag of blood clots is a dim bulb.
It’s common for folks to fail the bar the first time. She passed in her state and has done a lot for this country. What have you accomplished except being a raving, foaming at the mouth right wingnut.
Killary has been riding BJ’s coattails ever since she FLUNKED the DC bar exam.
That’s why she moved to the land of lowered expectations (Arkansas) to ride Bill’s coattails.
Who gives a flying f**k what coattails she is riding. She’ll kick Rand’s ass in 2016.
I heard the same garbage back in 2007.
Her “inevitability” propaganda falls flat.
Her favorability polling is sinking like a stone.
Killary was beaten by an inexperienced junior Senator FOR A REASON.
Killary is a fat old corrupt bag of blood clots.
Voters prefer his innocence over her ambivalence.
Rand Paul isn’t innocent and he will not win. Period. Keep frothing at the mouth with false facts to back you up. Bless your heart.
False Facts?
I am telling the truth and correcting your obvious misunderstandings.
Killary voted for the PATRIOT Act TWICE
Killary voted for the Iraq war “with conviction.”
That old neocon turd is going DOWN.
Well, the “competing board” or perhaps better Faux Board, only has Rand and six other members. I am not sure I call that competition, when the American Board of Ophthalmology has 16,000 members.
The AMA itself is a corrupt labor union.
Did you research the reason why Dr Paul and 200 other eye surgeons left the American Board of Opthalamology?
That was a rhetorical questions.
I already know that you have not researched it for yourself.
Mother Jones lied to you again :(
So 200 doctors who could not get certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, signed up for an internet certificate from Rand and his wife. Wow that sure changes my mind. Thats the certificate I want my doctor to have.
Faux News and Rand lied to you again.
See, moron, here is the gaping hole in your argument.
Rand Paul was certified by the American Board of ophthalmology for a decade.
In 1995, Paul passed the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO) boards on his first attempt and earned board-certification under the ABO for 10 years. In 1997, to protest the ABO’s 1992 decision to grandfather in older ophthalmologists and not require them to be recertified every 10 years in order to maintain their status as board-certified practitioners, Paul, along with 200 other ophthalmologists, formed the National Board of Ophthalmology (NBO) to offer an alternative ophthalmology certification system
See, even when your infected “liberal” mind is given the facts of the case, you cling doggedly to your false dogma out of tribal loyalty.
Your infection is pathological at this point.
You nuts believe whatever BS Rand spews. He lied to the papers. He said he was certified by the ABO when he know he was not. Give it up, the man will say whatever he has to to get whatever he wants. He is an empty suit.
It is the fact that the American Board of Ophthalmology has him registered for a decade as a participating physician under their board.
Why do facts scare your diseased “liberals” away?
Why are you unable to simply say the honest words?
“I had that wrong-thanks for correcting my misunderstanding.”
This is your disease.
You turn to the fallacy of ad hom attacks because I already beat you with the facts.
This is why “liberals” are such a joke.
“A fool convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.”
He is not registered with them. Not at all, lying wench.
He doesn’t need to be.
He is serving as a US Senator and it in unlawful for him to perform surgery for hire. That’s why he let his board Certification lapse.
He is still a licensed physician doing pro-bono surgery in Kentucky.
Meanwhile, Killary is overcharging college students to listen to her lame speeches.
You said he was. Lying?
Rand Paul left the ABO in protest to their hypocritical 1992 decision to grandfather in all old physicians and not require them to take the same test that new diplomates have to take every ten years.
So answer this question:
What makes a physician who passed the Board exam in 1991 so much more fantastic that they do not need to take the same tests that a diplomate who passed in 1993 needs to take every 10 years?
This is the root of the issue.
Answer the question for me and show that you have some backbone.
I doubt that you will even attempt to answer the question.
I absolutely love it. Whenever any Paul is written about anywhere, people whose names you have never seen before on a blog start jumping up to defend them.
Tell me how that works. Are you in a smoked filled room continually searching the web looking for new hits on your boys so you can defend their craziness immediately?
17 trillion dollars of escalating national debt is “craziness.
The Iraq war was “craziness.”
The PATRIOT Act is “craziness.”
Killary Clottin’ voted for all 3.
Rand Paul 2016!
The delusional shitbag has been a tenacious little flea on this page. Apparently, his love of Rand is all he can bothered with in his daily life. Little fuckface also thinks he can ban me from Disqus too. Lol..he also seems to have a reading problem since he can’t tell Bob from Bunny.
Rand Paul has already made millions from Medicare performing cataract surgeries.
Dr. Paul is probably referring to the blood clots.
Cardiovascular weakness is not “presidential.”

Dispdn’t stop Cheney Dick…
Sure it did.
Senator Randal Paul is All-American. He is not an establishment shill. He is more than capable to surround himself with qualified, capable cabinet secretaries who will work to solve the problems left from 12 years of Bush and 12 years of Clinton operatives. Sen Paul is my choice to be the Republican nominee in 2016.
Democrats are gearing up for a vagina ticket in 2016: Clinton-Warren. Good. America will never go for it. A Sen Paul nomination can certainly trounce the Vagina Gambit in 2016.
“The Menopause ticket?” No thanks.
Looking at your profile I see nothing but Rand Paul ass kissing. Does it pay well?
Crushing you “liberal” disease spreaders is all the payment I need.
We’re thriving, little bitch.
Who does his (Paul) pretty hair?
You should be MUCH more concerned about the blood clots inside Killary’s head instead of the hair on Rand’s head.
Get ready for a dimcrat bloodbath in November, Liberace.
Call Dr. Paul when that erection doesn’t subside…
Killary is the ultimate boner shrinker.

She flunked the DC bar exam.
I’d be worried if it wasn’t for the fact he isn’t showing well in the polls against her.
Wait until he announces.
What kind of moron worries about polls over 2 years before an election.
Killary is in steady decline/decay.
She was beaten by a no-named junior Senator in 2008.
The old grey nag just ain’t what she used to be.
He book sales are just as saggy as her double chin these days.
“What kind of moron worries about polls over 2 years before an election.”
Since you’ve been here all day…you?
That’s not election polling, it is favorability polling.
Killary has declined 9 points this year.
Hasn’t everybody?
Nope. The eye surgeon is ascending.
Killary voted for the PATRIOT Act twice!
Since two years is still two years away…why you so bothered?
I’m not bothered at all.
I enjoy clubbing you “liberal” twits over the head with facts and watching you slither away.
You still owe me an apology because I proved you wrong with the link you asked for.
Killary is a corrupt old bag of blood clots and being “unfit” has so many meanings that it makes this is a fun thread within which to demonstrate her weakness.
See above, Dumbass.

Conjuring some of that 2012 confidence?
Fauxcahontas already sold her soul for a string of beads and a gallon of fire-water.
She’ll cry herself to sleep on her infected blankets.
Rand Paul is a fraud, he recently scrubbed all of his libertarian oriented books from his website in order to build populist appeal.
He has no steadfast principle, he bends with the wind and has no backbone as a result.
Watch out. Killary Clottin’ is going to start throwing her weight around.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFTwc6tcZdA
She sure falls down a lot.
She was exhausted just from climbing one flight of stairs.
From whose speech did Rand plagiarize these latest comments?
Deval Patrick…No. Wait. That was Obama that stole Patrick’s speeches.
At least that’s what Killary said in 2008.
http://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2008/02/20/the-obama-plagiarism-scandal/
He and Marco and the entire GOP are just showing how terrified they are of Hillary. And, they’re getting hard-ons from the hatred and the rage that keeps these people going.
I was just watching a report on Morning Joe about Rand’s flip-flops on Israel. He’s said several times in the past he would end aid. Now that the TEAvangelicals are in a pre-rapture frenzy supporting Israel in a war, a voter asked him about that in Iowa yesterday. Following in his ole daddy’s footsteps, he lied and figured that the low-information types who take the Paul’s seriously would believe him. But, the voter called him out on the lie. The TEAvangelicals take the Second Coming and the Rapture and blindly supporting the Jews in Israel way too seriously let Rand weasel around with them.
Rand Paul will self-destruct dozens of times before 2016. The only people who won’t know it are the tiny little Paul fringe.
Killary has a head full of bad ideas and blood clots.
She is unfit because she shows poor judgment, and is a fat old alcoholic.
Watch Rand bolt, when faced with a difficult situation. Typical politician. He will never be President. Thank God.
