From Ace:
"When quizzed on his about his views on abortion, Republican Kentucky Senator Rand Paul avoided the gotcha game and told NH1 reporter Paul Steinhauser to ask DNC head Debbie Wasserman Schultz if it was okay to "kill a 7-pound baby in the uterus."
"Why don't we ask the DNC: Is it okay to kill a 7 pound baby in the uterus?" Paul reportedly said. "You go back and you ask Debbie Wasserman Schultz if she's okay with killing a seven pound baby that is not born yet. Ask her when life begins, and you ask Debbie when it's okay to protect life. When you get an answer from Debbie, get back to me."

for each and every difficult question the media asks GOPers, there is a near-perfectly anaologous question the media WILL NOT ask Democrats.

@AceofSpadesHQ A: Do you believe in evolution? B: How many genders are there?

The argument if continued goes: do you want to codify into modern law clear evolution dead ends?

I have an anser to this for the affirmative but it is spiritual and it is very long indeed involving a lot of back explaining and it influences my thinking and there is no dissuading me from it and I mean it.

But nobody ever makes my argument, I never see any such thing, and I don't expect I'll ever see it and I don't expect it is cogent for anybody else. And that's a bummer. Because adopting my attitude would turn a perceived burden and total drag into joyous industry.

Amartel said...

Impressive! Really, this is such a breath of fresh air.

Yeah, let's all vote for Paul's borderless America, what could go wrong? Oh wait...we're their already, so a Paul administration would just be frosting on the cake.

ricpic said...

There not their, dumkopf.

Livelier crowd at Paul's than Cruzes.

Amartel said...

Jeez, can I be happy for one minute that a Republican is actually effectively talking back to the media morons? Permission to enjoy the brief moment, sir.

I don't know since he's just gotten into the race but I will bet that Rand Paul is not in favor of borderlessness. That's an extreme libertarian position. I do bet that Dad Paul has probably promoted the notion at some time or another.

Okay, now I've checked and Rand is in favor of improved border security and improving the legal immigration system.

Amartel - Finally a member of the GOP sends it back to the hack media.

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

Amartel @4:44. That is how the GOP should answer every abortion question.

Send it back to the DNC.

Hey DNS - are you ok with Gosnel? With late term abortion?
We want to know!

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

The GOP needs a breath of fresh air.

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

Right now I'm a Rand Paul fan. Go baby!

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

Do you know how long I have been waiting for a member of the GOP to answer a question like Rand did?

Finally.

Two Dem candidates declared, Creepy and Creepier.

ndspinelli said...

Two Rep candidates, I meant. Although when fat ass declares, she is enough for two.

Good job on that one, Rand. Exactly right, that question you suggested, not to mention the gauntlet thrown down.

I'm a long way from being a part of the process, this time around, because I won't be doing caucus or primary, and much less am I making a voting decision 1-1/2 years in advance. When November 2016 rolls around, then I'll cast a vote, and that will be the sum total of how I will be participating (and will have participated) in the presidential electoral process. It's up to everyone who does choose to participate to select the ultimate choices. I will choose from those choices.

That said, I stand by what I said in the first paragraph of this comment--not as an endorsement of Rand as a candidate, but an endorsement of excellent questioning.

Rand Paul handled the gotcha bit perfectly. Was the reporter testifying or asking a question? I've been through that as a witness in court, under oath where the prosecutor ran off a 500+ word summary and then asked, that is your position, right...yes or no? I had to answer no...and added that he was testifying rather than interrogating me. The judge agreed. Then I was excused.
