I agree with Ron and Rand Paul on nothing

[whatchamacallit]

Those assholes may happen to agree with me on a few things though. Oh well, whatcha gonna do?

[Matrosov]

1. Why do we suddenly care so much about the Pauls and libertarians?

They're progressive on a select few matters, but all in all they are the direct opposite of the things for which Democrats stand. Their only use is in how they continue to fuel the civil war within the GOP and how they are a thorn in the side of social conservatives. Beyond that, the Pauls and the libertarians have nothing to offer the DNC and progressives in general.

Remember, the enemy of our enemy is often not our friend either.

2. We don't. But some Paul trolls are obviously at work. n/t

3. working hard they are

[whatchamacallit]

7. Really?

More like some people are working hard at creating phantoms

[Autumn]

11. Now see, you got it right there.

Creating phantoms is just what they are doing and pretending that there is an influx of Paul fans, Shit stirring is more like it because when you ask for a link to these Paul supporters? Crickets is what you get no links, just the assertations that THEY ARE HERE!!!!

[whatchamacallit]

15. It's such a childish and ineffective tactic

What do they think they'll accomplish accusing everyone of being paulites? Weird...

[whatchamacallit]

4. Beats me

Everything I know about the Pauls I learn on DU from their supposed detractors.

6. What's the significance of the comma?

[betterdemsonly]

8. He supports breathing and living another day n/t

[joshcryer]

9. There is zero overlap with me and neo-fascist libertarians.

[whatchamacallit]

10. Not sure that's a factual claim but

Yay you!

[joshcryer]

12. They are liars.

When they say they are for something that it seems we agree with, they actually aren't.

[Jamaal510]

13. Even on the 1-2 issues

I might "agree" with Rand/Ron on, our reasons for the stances that we take still differ greatly (e.g. being "socially liberal" as part of an anti-government platform and freedumb, not so much because of equality). That's yet another concern.

[whatchamacallit]

14. Of course

That's why the playground "paulite" accusations are so lame.
