The New York Times calls Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) one of the Republican Party’s “rising stars.” The Daily Beast says he’s “a smoother, more pragmatic political operator” than his father, former congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-Tex.). All that seems true. So riddle me this: What’s the upside for Paul to put his name on e-mails like this one, which landed in my inbox this morning?
It’s one thing for no-name pols to work on the fringes. But Paul, at this point, has a lot to lose. Yet here he is, suggesting the current president of the United States is working with “anti-American globalists plot[ting] against our Constitution.” And for what?
Here’s the whole e-mail. It’s on behalf of the National Association on Gun Rights, and it leads you to this Paul-centric splash page.

The guy has a loose screw upstairs, just like Michele Bachman, Alan West, Louie Gohmert, Sarah Palin, Todd Akin, Mark Sanford, Carl Palidino, Jim DeMint, Rick Perry, Sharon Angle, Orly Taitz...
Nuts...just plain nuts.

I do not mean this lightly at all!
I just hope we can survive these 3 demonic years ahead of us without some major catastrophe.
Some of the posts in this thread are beyond naive and totally insane. It seems their party can do nothing wrong, even if they have proven themselves to be total sellouts.

You don't realise the difference between mainstream conservatives and tea baggers? Really? Do you pay any attention to politics, other than what the globalist shill obama says?
What about Occupy? Do you think they are democrats?
Please tell us what you know about politics, other than insulting good people.
