How many times has Rand Paul been interviewed by Sean Hannity?
Does anyone have a number? Is is weekly?
It usually starts like this:
Sean: "I've asked your father Ron Paul to come on the show but for some reason he won't. I ask all the candidates the tough questions. I invite all the candidates on the show. Some take take the opportunity more than others..."
Rand: "I've told him he should come on your program."......
Sean: [then the interview with Rand Paul proceeds].
How nice of Sean to give Rand an open invitation to be on his show (with a nod that he's a "surrogate") because his father "won't" come on his show.
How convenient. Rand gets to promote himself. Someone who has said: It Would Be An Honor if Romney Asked Him to Be VP
The article LINKED and excerpted below was recently published in the American Spectator. The author believes the GOP has a chance to win with a Romney-Paul (son) alliance and connects the dots that there is a Romney-Paul (father) alliance.
Isn't that special? /S
Who cares?
Hannity is just doing a Kabuki dance for his GOP-e masters.
Thanks for stopping by.
But, but Sean reassures us he is neutral. I bet his good friend Ann Coulter will attest to that.
I don’t like Rand any better than I like his old man. Well, okay. That may be stretching it... but if it’s Mitt / Rand I’m writing someone else in.
Neither Paul deserves the Vice Presidency.
Sen. Rand Paul: Gingrich not from the tea party .not even a conservative "Kentucky GOP senator and tea party supporter Rand Paul blasted Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich Friday, calling the former House Speaker a big government, status quo Republican. ..................
Every time someone said, "Ron Paul wouldn't do anything to hurt Rand" I cringed. They're the same. Dad draws the fire so Rand gets his foot (and libertarian power) through the door of the GOP.
I quit listening/watching Hannity years ago.
It was the same ole guests, same ole topics,
3 hours a day, every day.

I did turn on his TV program during one election several years ago. I actually thought they were playing a clip from commentary during a previous election several years earlier. It wasn’t a clip; it was live.
Rand Paul co-opting Tea Party on Putin's Russia Today
Rand is the spitting image of dear old dad. He's playing a role right now. The "Mr. Tea Party" charade is a massive con job.
A Romney/Rand Paul ticket would be an unimaginable disaster.
I hear you.
The same, day after day.
Sean grates on my nerves but there have been times (in the car) when he’s on and I listen and it amazes me that [guess who?] will be up in the next hour......
Rand Paul.
Amazing.
Thank you for those links.
The author is right: that WAS a *bizarre* thing for Rand to say he'd be honored if he were to be considered for the Veep slot on Mitt's ticket. What a weasel and what nerve! He'd be basically a freshman Senator in charge of the Senate. As far as I'm concerned, the Pauls have their own interests at heart, not America's.
Yeah but at least he’s going into it with great specificity.
I really don’t think Rand will do anything for Romney’s ticket. First of all, whoever runs with Romney will be putting paid to their political career. Mitt won’t win against Obama and you can take that to the bank. Too many people have already dropped out and no longer care. This has been a long and dirty battle and nobody wins.
Libertarians are much more aligned with liberals than with conservatives.
Thanks for the links, which I’ll investigate later. On the face of it, they look like they establish a direct connection betweeen *Rand* and his father’s cronies. So, the problem would be not just old Ron.
And the GOP-e would hardly cry over Obama 4 more years if they control Congress (they think the electorate will give them the Hill to keep O in check--I say good luck with that hare-brained idea).
And a VP Rand will get TONS of media coverage for future political aspirations.
