toupee he wears that looks like he plucked his own pubic hair to make it. Maybe that's the purpose of it for Merkinhead; to keep us from focusing too closely on what comes out of his mouth.

and steals $50, he should be killed? Now we know how much a peasants life is worth to Rand Paul...$50. That pretty much sums it up. No trial, in these economic times (which he is immune from) we are desperate for $50. It would help buy a few days of food or fill a prescription, help keep the utilities on...

Some, actually a LOT of people were actually giving him some props for his drone stance back then, saying that although they disagreed with him on many things, his filibuster was on point. Well, who knew that he would turn out to be a lying hypocrite. Helen Keller saw that coming.

of $50 at gunpoint and get killed by a drone, due process be damned.

Blow up part of a community and kill 15 injure a 150 from negligence and greed and oh well these things happen. But don't you dare burden the poor business with job killing regulation or prosecutions! The free market will take care of everything!

It is obvious that he has something on his head, some kind of growth or splotch, that shouldn't be there. Did it ever occur to you Paul-bashers that whatever that is, it is too tight. Look at him! You can tell it is squishing his head, by listening to him if nothing else. Why can't you offer something constructive for him, such as suggesting something to spray that pisquaco-looking thing. Something that will kill it or loosen it up so that it can be handled. You can see that someone has tried to get at that with a ten-foot pole, so lay off!

That would certainly take care of Paul, Bachmann, Gohmert, and a few others...
