The isssue isnt what the Rino said, the issue is the Rino revealed himself to be a Rino by going from winning the KY GOP primary to sucking up to MSMediots on MS-NBC the next morning. It reveal him to be an untrustworthy Rino who thinks the MSMedia can be his friend.

We need to stick to the issues.

Please, no Ad Hominem attacks. That is something that liberals like to engage in.

Why would a black man want to eat in a restaurant owned and operated by a white supremacist? Why would a major PR-obsessed franchise want to permit a policy of discrimination? I seem to remember reading that boycotts were an important weapon in the 60’s civil rights battles. But does that have to do with the Bull Connors of the world? Those people were guilty of either violating existing criminal laws or constitutional law.

This should be an easy win for the GOP. Unfortunately, Rand Paul will probably lose it.

Not unlike the Gipper with GE Theater , Rand Paul's narration of "Plan 9 From Outer Space" will help him connect .

He’s, in effect, giving the exact same reason Barry Goldwater gave for voting against the so-called, Civil Rights Bill and Goldwater was actually running for president when he did it.
I have many reasons for not being a big fan of Goldwater, especially when he was older-but the guy had one huge set voting against that bill knowing how the media would savage him for it.

I think that Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942) in which the Supreme Court said the federal government can stop you from growing wheat for your own consumption because it might affect interstate commerce was an outrage that needs to be overturned.

As for the Civil Rights law of 1964, I think it is more plausible for the feds to claim they have a right to require non-discriminitory access to public accommodations in order to facilitate interstate commerce. It’s not quite as ridiculous.
