If ever there was an argument for overhauling the bill-writing process in our legislatures, Rand “Glad My Daddy Didn’t Name Me Ayn” Paul’s latest in a lifetime of Super-Dick moves is surely it.
s.1940, the legislation that would extend the protections of the National Flood Insurance Program until 2017, contains mandates to make the program fiscally solvent while still providing the much-needed aid homeowners need to rebuild their homes and lives after floods caused by heavy rains, infrastructural failures and hurricanes. Bi-partisan senators have been trying to work out a way to extend this program for the long-term, and they finally reached a plan that was suitable to all……….
all, that is, except Rand Paul.
Rand Paul is concerned that the National Flood Insurance Program is overlooking a key demographic that is just not being served whenever flood damage compensation monies are being doled out to displaced homeowners and businesses……………and he aims to fix that.
Go, Rand Paul!
Libertarian Superhero, looking out for the little guy and striking a blow for Limited Government!!!!!!!!
Who is this overlooked group, you ask, and how does he aim to help them get the flood compensation they are being denied?
Why, FETUSES, of course!!!!!!!!!
And he aims to get them their flooding due by hamstringing the legislation with a PERSONHOOD AMENDMENT!!!!
(Hear that sound? That’s the sound of vindicated Mississippians falling to their knees and declaring Rand Paul their new Jesus!)
After YEARS of grudging, bipartisan work, what better way is there show Americans you give a shit about them being able to rebuild their lives and businesses after a disaster than by tacking a totally unrelated and ridiculous personhood amendment that adopts a national ” life begins at conception stance” banning all abortion and some forms of contraception onto s.1940 that will certainly derail the legislation and cause people already devastated by natural disasters to be further devastated by an endless sea of government red tape because MOAR FETUS PROTECTION SMALL GOVERNMENT IN YOUR UTERUS NOT IN YOUR HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE RAND PAUL SHRUGGED 2012, BAYBEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t have a problem with people wanting to see pro-life legislation submitted.
I’m not going to vote for it, and I’m more than likely not going to vote for anyone who promotes it, but I don’t have a problem with it being presented and voted on FAIR AND SQUARE.
But when people like Rand Paul weasel shit in by attaching non-related riders to defense bills and infrastructure spending bills and things that are TOTALLY unrelated to the issue, I have a big problem with that shit………….and so should everybody else.
We don’t need a constitutional amendment to define marriage.
We need a constitutional amendment to make it an act of treason to insert completely non-related items into legislation just to win a partisan dick-waving contest and claim an extra fifteen minutes of infamy for putting up absolutely no meaningful legislation of your own while constantly ham-stringing every one else’s.
Why does Rand Paul do this shit?
Because he’s a tiny, tiny DICK with an overblown ego, and every Kentucky dipshit who voted for him really needs to find a quiet, locked cellar to sit in during the next election cycle to reflect upon what truly useless Kentucky dipshits they are.
The End.
Oh, wait, not quite.
FUCK RAND PAUL.
OK, The End.
I saw this yesterday and wanted to put my fist through a wall… Did a search to see if this little gem was reported on CBS/NBC/ABC/MSNBC/CNN/FAUX… crickets… maybe people would be outraged if they knew what the fuck was going on! What a little shit…
He’s a grandstanding worm who could give a shit less about the people he represents. It’s all about ego, just like his idiot father.
Douchenozzle extraordinare is at it again. Fuck this guy turns my stomach.
Mee, too, my friend.
Hugs to you, how have you been?
Do my last cancer treatment friday, the Ball n Chain is showing more effort in getting his tired ole ass outta the wheelchair and I will be going to Sandy Eggo for the 4th to see my yuppie sista from hell…just so the BnC gets a taste of what life is like without moi around to take care of him.
Hooray for last cancer treatments!!!!!!!!
So lad to hear you are both improving and fighting like hell (the health problems, not each other!!!)………….love you, lady!!!
I think Rand Paul is our hero on the horizon, maybe not for what he believes in though. So, fetuses need National Flood Insurance. Well, then, maybe they also need, I don’t know, public education. Maybe we need to make sure fetuses have homes and food and a chance at a better tomorrow. Maybe we need bank bailouts for fetuses. The entire liberal agenda should be built around fetuses and what they require. Who would have thought?
I apologize if this is too harsh.
For some reason this comment landed in the spam….glad I caught it.
And no, not too harsh……… maybe if e start framing things in terms of what it will do for fetuses, we’d get more done, public policy-wise at least. Women’s rights-wise, not so much.
Maybe Rand Paul is our hero. He is all about the unborn – they need flood insurance. Well, maybe they need public education, maybe they need food and housing and clothing. Maybe they need assistance to make a better tomorrow for themselves. And it’s all built around them being fetuses. Who can be against that? What about bank bailouts for fetuses? Every liberal agenda can be built around fetuses. We’ve just been thinking in the wrong direction.
Rand Paul is going to do for Libertarianism what Stalin did for Socialism.
The corporate media may not be paying attention to him but I suspect the self styled Libertarians are wondering WTF.
Is Rand Paul the stupidest man in congress? Today he claims that just because the SCOTUS says a law is constitutional doesn’t make it so.
Facepalm.
I’m not sure who is worse -him, or the people who think he’s right. It’s a chicken/egg kind of situation…..are regular people so misinformed and idiotic because nuts like Rand and Ron Paul have power, or are nuts like Rand and Ron Paul in power because of misinformed and idiotic regular people?
All I know is now my zygotes will have flood protection AND healthcare.
