Hey Rand Paul, who should have resigned over 9/11?

If Hillary should have resigned over Benghazi - who was it who received those "OBL Determined To Strike in the US" memos - not to mention the numerous embassy attacks during the Bush years. WHERE WAS THE ACCOUNTABILITY THEN?

That's the Republican asshole apologists favorite excuse. Can you imagine what they would have done if it happened on Obama's watch? He'd probably be in Leavenworth by now. They are beyond despicable.

Of course I also remember the GOP fillibuster crowd demanding upperdown votes on everything...the hypocrisy is just so astounding.

and slave state Senator, Kim Jong Paul is close to being put in restraints and probably would benefit greatly from one of the wonderful Fleet products available at any local drug store.

At least that's the way it works in Rand Paul's deluded corner of the world.

9/11 was 100% the fault of the Clinton administration, even though it was 8 months into Bush's term. And, if there was blame beyond the Clinton White House, it lies with the Carter administration. (Republicans are still blaming Carter for North Korea today...)

However, the first WTC bombing on 2/26/93 was also 100% Clinton's fault even though it was only five weeks into Clinton's first term.

not that I have a tenth of her intelligence or her restraint, if he asked that of me, I would have said, "Senator Paul, if you were president, I wouldn't have accepted this post" only not so politely. Rand is right up there with other GOTPers that literally make me nauseous - he must have wet dreams about being president. Well, dream on. Steven Tyler has a better chance than Randy.

The Three Assketeers: "Cantor, Ryan and Paul." What hubris! I could name more, but these three are a bit higher in the prickdom of congress than most others, imo. Issa is a VERY close runner-up.

Zing! I would have laughed my ass off if Ms. Clinton would have said that to these hypocritical assholes. Remember how if you criticized Bush in any way, the GOP said you must hate America? It is SO obvious to all that they are desperately trying to turn this into something big, but it will never gain traction.

John McCain = The Sorest Loser in American history!
Rand Paul = A loony-tune fringe man who never should be in government because he doesn't believe in having much of a government!
Ron Johnson = A laissez-faire business man who believes in returning to the Robber Baron days.

And why is it that President Obama won over 325 Electoral Votes? Gee; I just can't figure it out.

I guess you can chalk up Paul's statements to grandstanding, but the hypocrisy is stunning, if not surprising.

in the Senate have a collective IQ of 35. Ron Johnson is the most stupid of all.

Rand Paul doesn't need to worry about who he would fire if he were President. Never in a million years are the American people electing that cave man president.

America would be screwed. This goofy looking tu*d could only be elected in a gerrymandered area of hicksville.
