but I'm relatively sure none of his contsituents know that. You know how that goes. Things like facts and truth aren't a real concern for them.

He was licensed by the American Board of Ophthalmologists until 2005.

Not that I'm in the habit of defending Rand Paul--I loathe him and consider him a danger to public health and to our democracy--but I hate to see misinformation accidentally spread here. Not that what you said is false--it isn't--but it leaves out an important part of the truth.

He promised to get the government out of the practice of regulating food safety.

And he got a hell of a lot of traction around here. Folks went looking for raw milk just because government forbade it, it must be good.

Rand is taking it even further, straight up lying about what he full well knows will kill people.

Then while your supporters start freezing and dying in their homes take a nice Cancun Cruz.
