Elections GOP Senator Says Democracy, Majority Rule Aren’t What Our Country Stands For

Rand Paul certainly has alot of integrity too. Telling people single payer is communism them coming to Canada to get a taste of communism.

Definitely someone I would trust.

I cant listen to Rand because all I think about is the ass whooping he took from his neighbor.
Neighbor tells Rand to keep your yard waste on your yard. Rand forgot he is a manlet, and threw his yard waste on neighbors yard again, neighbor marches over and beats his ass so bad, Rand ended up in the hospital.

Rand Paul says a lot of stupid things these days.

We do everything in this country by democracy and by majority rule. It's not direct democracy...except that senators and representatives are elected by majority vote in their districts. Then those senators and representatives pass laws based on majority rule. We elect the President by majority rule via the electoral college.

The Founders were only against majority rule when it came to directly electing the President. And while they preferred representative democracy over direct democracy in many federal instances - they didn't have anything against it at the state and local levels.

But, as I started with, Rand Paul says a lot of stupid things these days.

I wish it were just Rand but Mike Lee has made similar comments and I do believe that mentality has grown in the GOP over the past decade.

Just look at the reactions in this thread

I guess we know why there’s been an increase in hate toward minority groups within the GOP.

As inner cities and liberal strongholds are attacking Asians and Jews.

Lol. You guys are so fucking delusional

Rand the Randian objectivist getting socialised healthcare via his govt employment after being beaten by his neighbour due to a dispute over leaves floating onto someone else's yard is poetic somehow.

Yep. Going to Canada to get his hernia surgery from a publically funded hospital, while campaigning against universal healthcare in the US.

Oh my bad.. Voter Integrity Laws, *wink we need to make sure our voters have "integrity"

i'm just waiting for them to put someone in georgia on the guillotine just for handing out a bottle of water to somebody else at a polling station, so that they can turn it into a public spectacle. it'll make for something interesting to watch on tv while i stuff my face with doritos.

they may have pulled that MLB all star game out of georgia, but nothing beats having tickets to the public execution

Democrats going to actually do something? This stuff has been going on for at least 30 years now and it's just empty rhetoric from these politicians. The only thing they ever get brave about is stuff to help rich business owners.

So we have never been a strict democracy but democracy leads to things like Jim Crow...... Which we had while never being a strict democracy.


Typical Republican logic afoot.

Also, if it were majority rules, the conservatives would never sniff power in a hundred years.

Ok ok ......once in 40 years.
