    Rand Paul: Scare Monger for Dimwits

    By NCD on Sun, 10/05/2014 - 3:12pm |

    Rand Paul on Right Wing Hate Radio for the Reality Challenged Wingnuts of America:

    Speaking to conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham, Paul questioned whether the Obama administration should carry out its plan to send 3,000 troops to Ebola hot zones in Africa.

    "You also have to be concerned about 3,000 soldiers getting back on a ship. Where is disease most transmittable? When you're in a very close confines on a ship, we all know about cruises and how they get these diarrhea viruses that are transmitted very easily," he said. "Can you imagine if a whole ship full of our soldiers catch Ebola?"

    News from the real world:

    1. Obama is not sending a corporate run for profit cruise ship to Liberia, he is sending a US Navy ship.

    2. US Navy ships operate 365 days a year, they always have 'close confines' for crew, and they eat and poop like people on cruise ships

    3. Cruise ships have had EPIDEMICS OF DIARRHEA illnesses....

    4. US Navy ships DO NOT!

    5. Why??? Think it over Rand.....& don't overwork your I-M-A-G-I-N-A-T-I-O-N..!!!!

    Ships full of Ebola victims is a horror show fantasy existing only in the twisted barely functioning mind of Rand Paul and his b-e-l-i-e-v-e-r-s.

    IMAGINARY TOUR Senator Rand Paul at Norfolk Naval Station:

    CINCLANT : These ship are departing for a Med cruise, with a stop in Rome.

    Senator RAND PAUL : We all know CRUISE SHIPS have HIT ROCKS AND SUNK off Italy,  IMAGINE if a USN aircraft carrier with a nuclear reactor hit those rocks? Sounds very risky.......

    Senator, if you believe the discipline, operation, capability and competence of a United States Navy vessel is comparable to private Cruise Lines, your ignorance would make you a threat to national security if you ever were elected to be Commander in Chief.

    Senator, you either support or do not support the actions of the President of the United States.

    You base your comments on  facts and reasoned judgment, not on insanely inappropriate anecdotes, that only raise unjustified fears among the uninformed.

    There's some talk about Maher going for Curly Rand.

    That is all done as far as I can tell.

    Of course, as you have pointed out, Curly Rand is dumber than Cruz or Perry.

    And that is extremely hard to do! hahahahah

    Here is my take:

    Mary Jane might become legal but Curly's party aint gonna go for that.

    The EPA would be dead in the water, so to speak since we all would be dead in the water.

    The Department of Education would be dead in the water and half the states would be learnin about Noah in the water.

    The Department of Commerce would be sunk in the water.

    Oh....that is enough.

    Curly Rand scares the hell out of me!

    the end

    Remember Rand and his "I'm Ok with drones killing a guy robbing a liquor store of $50?"

    I-M-A-G-I-N-E a Rand/Palin ticket, it's scary that they would probably get 49% of the vote. Illiterate rice farmers are smarter than many Americans (why? they don't watch FOX or any corporate TV news).

    I doubt it that he ever served in the military.  Imagine a Drill Instructor in Rand Paul's face. <Giggle> That certainly would be entertaining, It wouldn't take long for Paul to get on the wrong side of one,

    Rand would be mentally disqualified for military service. There would be a risk someone would toss his whiny little ass overboard if he got assigned to a ship.

    Rand Paul at Howard University was a classic. Paul tried to teach Black history to students who were at an institution full of history. The students were able to help him out when he forgot the name of "that Black Senator" from Massachusetts, Edward Brooke.
