Happy Tuesday to all my ANGELS. Sitting at the house..a little under the weather..enough not to be able to
spend time with the kiddos. YUCKS..and SUCKS. I'll see you tomorrow kiddos..
Getting around to catching up and responding to the whole Rand Paul election win..and controversial comments. Here's my thought..
I question the senility of my fellow Kentucky voters who chose a crackpot over the GOP mainstream candidate, Secretary of State Trey Grayson, in last Tuesday's primary.
By virtue of this win Rand Paul is now the "new sheriff" of the "tea party" movement since the Alaskan hottie Sarah Palin is no longer in office.
Rand lost no time in stirring up a controversy by sticking to his earlier statement made to Courier-Journal that he opposes imposing those rules of the 1964 Civil Rights Act on private businesses. He just made the water muddier by appearing on MSNBC's “The Rachel Maddow Show", and trying to put a spin on his previous statement.
The year is 2010 and I had thought that the 1964 Act had settled those issues long time ago. Obviously, I was wrong.
Last Wednesday Rand said on NPR that he is opposed to racism, and he would have marched with Martin Luther King to overturn institutional racism, if he were there at the time.
When Rachel Maddow asked Paul directly, if lunch counters should have been desegregated, as the activists had campaigned for during the Civil Right movement, he refused to give a clear answer and only rumbled that he did not believe in discrimination.
Bill Clinton dismantled the Glass-Steagal act, and see where we are today with the banking industry. Dick Cheney gave BP waiver from installing a remote switch for shutting down oil wells—the switch would have prevented the gulf oil spill that is gushing out right now.
And Rand, do not shake the hornet’s nest by inciting race issues; we have enough issues to divide us already.
FOR THE RECORD...I'm now going the INDEPENDENT ROUTE. When it's time to rip on the otherside..I will.
Let me know your thoughts..
Peace out my HALEYUNNS!
