May 21st, 2012 · No Comments

Larry Dale Keeling seems to think Jack Conway is playing pat-a-cake with Richie Farmer and he rightly thinks this tax reform commission is as silly as the rest of us.

Massie Following In Rand’s Hypocritical Footsteps

May 15th, 2012 · No Comments

Rand Paul says he doesn’t like it when people tell him how to vote: So he’s telling you how to vote in KY-04. Just as he directed a bunch of SuperPAC cash (according to Massie camp staffers). The hypocrisy is as ripe as Thomas Massie’s: In that ad, you see him saying he won’t take [...]

Rand Paul Puts On His Anti-Gay Hat Once More

May 14th, 2012 · 1 Comment

What was that, again, about Rand Paul not being a homophobic troll? “I tend not to wear my faith on my sleeve,” he said, adding later that “I see decisions government makes almost always in moral terms.” He spoke about his opposition to abortion and gay marriage, his fiscal conservativism and his opposition to war….

Rand Paul Decides To Hypocritically Hits Subsidies

May 11th, 2012 · No Comments
