The GOP Presidential Girl Fight is Underway

Rand Paul said today regarding Jeb Bush, "You're a pot-smoking hypocrite."

There was no discussion of multiple illegal invasions around the world.  There was no talk of global health care management, particularly given the recent Ebola and measles outbreaks.  There was no talk of runaway military spending.

Instead we have, "My mommy told me you're a druggie."

As a long-term smoker of marijuana, I can tell you for sure there's only one translation when 'druggie' is used and that is to 'moron.'  I'll talk to people if they're capable of rational discussion but anyone who uses words like that isn't worth my time.  Once they've fallen to the Walk This Way programming, they're useless for labor and probably also even for meat.

As to whether Jeb Bush is a hypocrite, that much is correct.  He was buying and selling reefer with the best of them while he was at Andover and there's no admission of it but it's extremely unlikely in 1967 that's all he did.  Today he's right with the GOP program:  ban everything.  He's definitely got hypocrite covered ... but that hardly makes him unique in modern Republican politics.  There are many examples of good for me but bad for you from them.


It's not that much better on the Democrat side as Biden thinks he should be involved with the Presidential campaign although it's not sure what role he would play other than being a broom closet. Other than Clinton, there's no-one ... and she isn't much, but, after we saw from "American Sniper" what kind of electorate is out there, it really doesn't matter much.  It looks like the only interesting aspect of the election will be Clinton trying to pretend she's a Democrat as the GOP types are already busy pretending to be Republicans, not that any modern Republican would even know the difference.
