John Cornyn Defends Rand Paul's Anti-Civil Rights Act Comments
This is getting good. :evilgrin:

Rand Paul's views are way outside the mainstream of America and Kentucky. During an interview on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow, Paul refused to say whether he would have supported the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

And who was there to defend Paul's comments? You guessed it, John Cornyn. From Politico:

“I think it was sort of a gotcha question,” Cornyn said of Maddow’s approach. “If I’m walking down the street minding my own business and somebody sticks a microphone under my nose about a law that was passed 40 years ago, without more detail — I think it probably caught him a little bit by surprise.”

1. Corndog is a hypocritical ass
I've said it before and I will keep saying it. No rules ever apply to the Republicans - rules and laws are for Democrats only. He can call Kagan "inexperienced" but he won't call out this dip shit for being on the wrong side of civil rights.

He's willing to give this dip shit Ayn Rand Paul a break because he's inexperienced - bullshit! This wing nut has no business being in the U.S. Senate. He's not fit to shine Robert Byrd's shoes. Byrd has made up for his past transgressions into racial inequality but Rand Paul is still supporting it at heart. Would let the free market decide ...blah, crap, blah.

Has anyone asked the Paul idiot his opinion on the Arizona law?

Rand can kiss my big brown ass!:puke:
