Moose Lady's Feeling Randy, Part 2

BooMan weighs in on Sarah Palin endorsing Rand Paul.

I know a lot of liberals who are attracted to elements of Paulism. They like his positions on our imperialism and the War on Drugs, to choose just two examples. But I know John McCain doesn't agree. In fact, almost no Republicans agree. Yet, Palin endorsed Rand Paul over the establishment candidate.

To be honest, I don't think Palin has a clue what kind of beast she is messing with. It was Bill Kristol and his friends who convinced McCain to pick Palin in the first place. Kristol's whole universe is built around our empire. He must be pretty miffed to see Palin turn into a Paulist. I find the whole thing amusing. But it's also somewhat dangerous. Ron Paul is right about a few things but he and his followers and basically insane. It will do no one any good if they start winning elections. 

And that does a very good job of summing up how I feel.  I do like the fact that somebody sees that the end of the American Empire is necessary for us to be able to get this country back together financially.  But the rest of Paulism is crazy, it's the belief that absolutely no good whatsoever can ever come from the state or from government.  It also doesn't help that the guy's named after Ayn Rand and wants to basically run the country like The Fountainhead.  You thought Grover Norquist hated government?  No, he just wants to use it to preserve his own power.  Paulism really does want to destroy it across the board.

I certainly don't want this guy representing me in Congress for the next six years, where he can do some actual damage.  This year proved how much havoc a single Senator can wreak.

But if there's an uneducated electorate out there, it's the state of Kentucky.  And Rand Paul just might be able to pull one over on the Bluegrass State.
