Paul: Well, I think competition makes things better. You have to compete with other late-night comedians; I have to compete with other physicians. I think competition makes us better. Think if you didn’t have that guy, what’s his name, you have to compete with?

While I am suspect of anyone with his bloodline, so far I like him a lot.
It’s about time that weak sister Pubbies have found their backbones and are now getting in the faces of the low life Democrats, labor unions, liberals, left-wingers and...most of all the failed, useless. empty suit, POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama!!! Do you folks have any idea how many millions of Americans lost their jobs, careers and futures because of greedy, criminal, political labor unions???
Just saw the clip. Letterman is one of the stupidest f*cks on tv or anywhere for that matter. I can’t believe people actually applaud his stupidity. He should be embarassed. He makes Forrest Gump look like a genius.
Acually, Letterman was quite civil. I was surprised. I still hate him.
I enjoyed the clip a lot. Thanks.
Rand Paul was charming, likable, unflappable, knowledgeable, articulate and a good ambassador for tax cuts.
talk about pearls before swine...
The guy sounds just like Lillian Rearden in Atlas Shrugged. He adheres not to reason or intellectual analysis, but to pure emotion. Paul must be "wrong" because Letterman feels like he's wrong.
Who knows, perhaps Letterman is intelligent enough to eventually come to recognize this fact about himself, and maybe he'll have enough self-respect to recognize his own defense mechanisms for the cognitively dissonant state he found himself in during this clip, and begin to abandon them.
Worth repeating.
"I can’t believe people actually applaud his stupidity."
In a country of 310M, every studio audience is going to have their share of morons. Letterman, it seems, has his share plus a little extra.
And yet when confronted with the fact that the top 50% pay 97% of the taxes, liberals like Letterman say it’s incorrect and change the subject. I have very few liberal friends left because of this tactic.
I agree, in typical liberal fashion Dave thinks (or knows) Paul is wrong but doesn’t know why.
Paul also could have touched on the fact that people vote with their feet, when speaking about onerous state tax rates. He could have pointed to the fact that for the first time in its history, CA didn't add population relative to the national population grown, and states like NY, NJ and MA (and other NE) states are loosing population (and tax base) because people are flooding to the Carolinas, GA and FL and other southern states because of the friendlier business laws and less onerous tax burden.
Other than that, I thought Paul was terrific - much more rational than his old man.
I stopped watching late-nite TV during the Clinton years. They all suck.
Actually it's the taxpayers who have awakened to the outrageous excesses of Democrats and their union buddies. Thanks to this new group of Governors we finally have some sensible leaders at the state level. But, as usual, the limp-wrist elected Pubbies in Washington are along for the ride $61B out of $3.6T is chump change.
Actually, I lost my job when Obama went for that swim in Pensacola bay - you know, the part that was unaffected by the spill. He was sending a message to the Coast Guard that the crisis was over. How much oil is still out there - most of what was spilled. Crisis over my a$$.
“I agree, in typical liberal fashion Dave thinks (or knows) Paul is wrong but doesn’t know why.”
he doesn’t think or know anything. That’s the problem. He feels and wants to believe certain things. And that’s good enough for him and his ilk.
Leno often makes sense with his humor, Letterman does Jerry Lewis shtick.. because he is not bright..
“It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into."-- Jonathan Swift
Letterman admits that he (Dave) is retarded.

Yes, they have cost jobs and redistribution of US wealth to other countries, and to me, what is most troubling, is the loss of opportunities for our children and grandchildren. Imprisonment is too good for BO, his backers, and his czars—these people are criminals seeking to destroy our freedom—there attacks are against us and our families. When does it end? Is it too late? Will it take decades to recover?

I have no lib/prog friends by choice. I want no association with anyone who seeks to subjugate people to the will of a bullying government. Libs and progs are my enemies, not my friends.
