Left Wingers and Libertarians are uniting around common causes?

Thats what I am reading lately and its bullshit in my opinion...But mainstream media is just swooning over Rand Paul’s foreign policy and his stance on legalization of weed...And of course much has been written of Paul’s libertarian economic policies, which many younger people have mistaken for Rand Paul supporting the legalization of marijuana.

But Rand Paul has a ton of problems starting with this one, a propensity for ignoring the history of racism in this country, to the point that States should now possess the right to determine if a Luncheonette owner should have the right to wether or not serve an Afro-Ameriacan who awaits service at his counter..

His problem with woman is absolutely huge and will have a real difficult time dancing around his numerous ant-woman votes in congress as well as his opinions on choice..

And this is only a start..But lets start getting our facts straight and immediately squash any notion that the left is interested in supporting this jerk..

This Vaccine Truther bullshit is becoming real scary...

When high profile sports and hollywood celebrities start throwing gas on the fire, things can unravel very quickly...

But what really scares me is if the End of Timers and Millenialists begin jumping on this train to disaster because they feel the time is now..

You really think this shames Issa???

It’s a fucking badge of honor for Christ sakes...The right wing part of his base will send him flowers and a congratulatory letter.. There is no shame for any of them assholes.!!!.

PGA is playing at Trump National Doral Country Club today..

I love Golf... Most who play it are on professional level are as right wing as you can get..
Today they are showing Trump driving around on a cart...I can’t stand the site of that ugly hateful man.. They also continually flash the Course name on the screen.

Trump is about as a politically divisive as you can get.. He rants extremely ugly insults at our president and yet NBC Sports embraces him...

I have copied a link below which lists several NBC corporate numbers..
I’m calling tomorrow.
Trump is truly a vile human being..

Right now, one of the commentators is praising Trump for his generosity.

We have economic power.. Lets use it!!

Rand Paul represents a real threat in 2016..

He carries a message which low informed voters flock to.. Same message that Ronald Reagan got elected with...Govt. is way to big and is the reason why few jobs are being created...

Along with this, he will definitely propose a flat tax system which will find many supporters once they find out how it works..

Safety net issues are another subject he will surround and will explain it as a”pull yourself up by your own bootstrap issue.”


He is an anti-war advocate,( as long as the war has nothing to do with our economy.) supports drug policy change... and will have loads of college kids supporting him ( did I mentioned low informed voters)

We all realize that a large part of populace is supplied with information by Fox and Right Wing Hate Radio. This group along with the segment of our pop. which sits in the middle, represent a real challenge for 2016.

Yes ,I am aware of his huge anti-woman problems and his racist state’s right issues... his father’s racist paper, but I’m still concerned..

Anyone really believe that Clinton and her staff did not think someone would be taping her remarks

in Cali. yesterday... Today she walked them back... I say Boom!!!!..She’s definitely running for sure.
Brilliantly over the top yesterday to appease those righties who insist she’s a stand down girl...then comes back and tones it down almost professorily today..

Ah, ya can’t fool a Corleone... Magnificently played Hillary..

Today’s journalists and reporters have one goal... To please daddy...

Their producers......... They have become so dumbed down that they haven’t the slightest idea on how to actually research a story..They have just gotten use to the low bar of reporting.

It’s an embarrassment to our country.. And the corporate right wingers just bath in it..

Finally an Article from a Socialist Paper which spells it all out.

Things are not as black and white as everyone seems to think it is around here. The Ukrainian situation is complicated and the fears of the ultra right which overthrew the corrupt Yanukavich
Regime are clearly spelled out in this long but detailed article.
