Today was supposed to be a fun one for liberals on the Investigations subcommittee for the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee. They were going to haul in Apple’s CEO, CFO, and head of Tax Operations to browbeat them over their lack of — what, patriotism? Dumbness? — for having avoided tax liability last year.
This was supposed to provide a little diversion from a week of wall-to-wall Obama administration scandals. Instead, Sen. Rand Paul rained on everyone’s parade, providing an exemplary rebuttal of the brain-dead populism that politicians so often engage in when it comes to corporate America.

Yeah. Rand is being really smart, he’s staying on the conservative side of nearly everything.
I wouldn’t go nearly that far on Paul but I’m getting to like him more and more. However; he still has a bit of his wacky dad in him - just tempered allot.
I HATE THOSE DAMN AMNESTY ADS. I listen to streaming Beck, Rush and Hannity radio at work, and when those despicable amnesty advertisements come on, I have to mute.
It is infuriating.
Good for Rand
sweet....good thing that subtlety is your string suit. Lordy I am still laughing hard
I would add Ted Cruz to your list.
Don't forget to include Texas Senator, Ted Cruz. He's made of the same good stuff as the others you mentioned.
Birds of a feather....
He ate all the democrats on that panel and also kicked a$$. Great to see a politican tell the truth but the democrats have no shame...
While I agree with Rand Paul on this and sympathize with Apple for being forced to appear at this Democrat-led kangaroo trial, I have no doubt that Apple money flowed by the bucket loads to help elect the idiots that are grilling them now.
I’m laughing with you and just got off another thread laughing. Some freepers are so funny! And just what we need in the midst of all the chaos.
Free Atlanta’s post/picture hits it out of the park. Thanks FA!
>> Number one: Sarah P. Number two: Rand P.
Rand’s ambiguous positions on immigration are problematic, but he’s certainly preferable to the majority.
Surprised you didn’t mention Ted Cruz.
