Well, it should be pretty obvious by now that Rand, opportunistic that he is, is simply not that bright.
One thing you can say about all the 20+ GOPer physicians in the US House and Senate: they prove you just don’t have to be overly smart to get into medical school.

Wonder if any of these 20 GOP physicians used student loans for their education, and if so did they pay back the loans? Are any currently in favor of student loans and the low interest rate applied to these loans.

I don’t know about loans, but you simply cannot earn a living as an Opthalomologist like Rand without accepting Medicare and having it pay way more for cataract surgery than an under 15 minute procedure deserves.

Why, Rand, just why? Next you will probably endorse Nimrata for governor, right? If you want to make it in politics, stay the hell away from SC.

It is good to see dissent in the GOP. I hope the GOP goes back to its fiscally conservative, socially moderate, and the “Thousand Points of Light” idea that Bush Senior envisioned. Most Republicans in South Carolina are not rich; they are middle class or redneck. They vote Republican because they are against abortion and gays and are pro-Jeebus, not because they are rich. There is also a touch of racism in the southern GOP, borne of Lee Atwater. In voting Republican, these South Carolinians unwittingly vote for the rich and the policies of the rich who could care less about them and whose policies hurt them. Nikki Haley, for example, has let it be known that her appointed Workers Comp judges better be pro-business, not pro-injured worked, or else. This hurts the middle class voter who votes Republican.

Republicans are not in business to help the unemployed, the disabled, the struggling family with high medical bills. When will the average voter in this state realize this cold fact ?

People used to vote their pocketbook. People used to vote Republican because they

were well off. The others voted Democratic because they wanted policies that supported the middle-class. I hope voting patterns return to this former system.

A MAJOR VICTORY for Conservatives is that Ultra-popular Liberal-Tarian Ron Paul’s (FITS, Sanford hero) son is a TRUE CONSERVATIVE..and he can WIN, and Win BIG in 2016. He’ll tell FITS, Sanford Grham, the media, the left and McCain to sit down and STFU…
Rand has the appeal to BRING the party back to it’s Conservative core. And when we quit putting Liberal-Tarian candidates up nationally (like McCain, Sanford and Graham) the Left is DEFEATED.
So keep $#!**ing all over yourself FITS, because we’re here with Rand Paul to slap the P!$$ out of you Movement-stopping and selfish (take my ball and go home) Liberal Tarians…

This guy is like Reagan…he ignores your Cojured up hate-filled Bull-$#!*…and just moves forwards…
So SUCK IT…we have a winner. Your worst fears are being relaized.

Oh, NO! Not another Republican “sellout”! You mean, Rand isn’t just wasting his time in the political wilderness like Jim DeMint, stomping his feet and saying “no” all to accomplish nothing? What I love about this is I was wrong. I never thought Rand would mature and play ball with the broader GOP. I thought he would be beholden to the extremists. Guess not. Yet another of Will’s fantasies—a “libertarian” in government—meets with reality. Good show, Rand! Congrats!

Rand is a really appealing concept. but basically he is working to keep his own financial outlook strong. Limbaugh only has a couple million fans in a country of 300 million, but he makes what 20mil a year? you don’t have to be the most popular radio host, and you don’t have to win national elections, to stay financially fit. he has zero chance of winning, probably not even the GOP nomination, there are too many videos of him saying unbelievably stupid things. but he will retire fat and happy, just like his dad. this is a BIG problem with the current political spectrum. all the right’s ‘leaders’ are just professional ‘conservatives’ selling books or looking for lobbying or tv contracts.

Wonder why liberal Air-Head America cannot get even a tenth of Rush’s audience??..despite putting forth the fully-regailed stars of the Leftwing Movement….
Is it because when people actually HEAR your profound Ignorance, w/o a filter, it is revealed as a religous for Dumb@$$#$ and the Stupid???…
Addressing your own igornace may tell you Obama was re-elected because voters in Penn. were cheating and got caught voting over and over.

Hmmm, maybe you didn’t notice the rest of my comment? You compared the audience of Air America to Rush Limbaugh’s audience? Rush definitely has it over them since they stopped broadcasting 3 years ago. And you misspelled misspelled, which is 3X as awesome as misspelling ignorance. Remind me which Ass Whoopins you gave me?

No kidding. One week he does an old fashioned filibuster, protesting the use of drone strikes against Americans, and this past week he tells Neil Cavuto that he doesn’t care if the police use drone strikes against robbers of liquor stores.
