Lexington: The Rand Paul bubble | The Economist

"That is the wrong question. Lexington would wager against Mr Paul winning the Republican nomination, let alone a general election. As a politician he is ill-disciplined and drawn to absolutist positions, to the right and left of the mainstream. He drafted a plan to balance the budget in five years (by eliminating whole departments and slashing services), opposes all gun controls and is "100%" anti-abortion even in cases of rape and incest. At the same time, he says government spying on phones and e-mails has turned America into a "police state". A more compelling question concerns the 51-year-old senator's analysis of politics. He thinks he has spotted a turning point, with voter disenchantment so widespread, especially among the young, that old party loyalties are up for grabs."

A perverted party such that it is a loser destroying America with its lack of sanity and intelligence. Billionaires supporting PAUL should be taxed so they don't do stupid stuff with their ILL GOTTEN money?
