on unemployment insurance.

"The number of issues on which Republican leaders have given other members of their party sensitivity training continues to grow. They've already had to be coached on how not to further alienate Latinos and immigrants and women. Now it's unemployment—an issue on which it's been determined Republicans need to learn to sound empathetic in large part because their party is blocking an unemployment benefits extension. In other words, they're getting training on how to make their concrete actions sound a little less callous."

Looks like rand could use a crash course. Not working for "poor people" has nothing to do with giving them a fair shot at opportunities.

And, being "rich" shouldn't mean you get another tax break to take away from Food Stamps and Unemployment Insurance.

he attempted to do. It seems like the same 35 ppl show up at all of the events for that city & the worst part is they are never the demographic they are pandering to.

Rand Paul can try all day long to generate a broader base but it's just not there, people aren't as stupid as they would like to believe.

That, like all conservative bumper-sticker witticisms, is a part without a whole.

No poor person ever gave them a butterfly either.

Companies don't hire out of some sense of noblesse oblige. Companies hire when there is DEMAND, i.e. poor people spending excess income not tied up in bills and cost of living expenses.

Where are these people HATCHED from?
