Turn it into wine, Savior.

Applause

The general packaging of Republican speeches just doesn't resonate with me at all. I don't think that "moral decline" is relevant to any of the problems we're facing right now, but hey, Marco Rubio decided to bring that up anyways.

I'm still laughing about the water bottle thing, too.

Gov. Bobby Jindal ‏@BobbyJindal
A vote to end violence would be unanimous. After which we should vote to end poverty, disease, war, divorce and mosquitoes.

Bobby, I'll be so happy to be rid of you.

OH my god that is fucking hilarious.

FOX NEWS; already calling for his candidacy. Can relate to the little people now...

 

[B-Dubs]

If this was recorded ahead of time, why didn't they edit this? Also I heard there is a version of this rebuttal where he gives it in Spanish.

I think the Spanish version was the one recorded ahead of time, at least I'm hoping that's how it was.

The weird angle of the camera makes it even better.

[RedNalgene]

Love how he blames the government for the housing crisis. Republicans will protect us from those banks ....... right?


I hope the Hispanic population doesn't buy his BS.

Yeah, I'm not sure how you make the jump that government caused the housing crisis. I'm pretty sure greedy bankers caused that one (most of who were republicans). Maybe he's arguing that the lack of government regulations allowed it to happen? That's a he'll of a jump.

Rand Paul on

I think I am watching Ron Paul but with a squirrel nest on his head.

 

[Hawkian]

IT IS DONE.

 

[Brinbe]

Rand's on now http://static.teapartyexpress.org/

 

[Volimar]

If SNL doesn't do a Rubio SOTU response/excessive sweating scene from Airplane sketch out of this I'll have lost all faith in them.

 

[Phreaker]

Did rubio really lunge to take a sip of water in the middle of his presentation??

Yes, it was amazingly odd. This was after licking his lips every two seconds for many minutes.

 

[j_k_redtail]

Watching Rubio's speech on Boehner's youtube site.

Presidents in both parties – from John F. Kennedy to Ronald Reagan – have known that our free enterprise economy is the source of our middle class prosperity.

But President Obama? He believes it’s the cause of our problems. That the economic downturn happened because our government didn’t tax enough, spend enough and control enough. And, therefore, as you heard tonight, his solution to virtually every problem we face is for Washington to tax more, borrow more and spend more.

This idea – that our problems were caused by a government that was too small – it’s just not true. In fact, a major cause of our recent downturn was a housing crisis created by reckless government policies.

Wow.

This is not a speech. This is a comforting rehash of GOP dogma designed to help Republicans sleep at night.

Finally someone with damn common sense is speaking! RAND PAUL 2016!

Exactly, it's not like the Republicans would increased regulations on banks. No idea why they even bring shit like this up.

I've met my quota of stupid for the night.

WHY DOESN'T RUBIO DRINK AMERICAN WATER?

Even outsourced their bottled water.

 

[kehs]

Where's the Rand Paul rebuttal?

 

[RDreamer]

Finally someone with damn common sense is speaking! RAND PAUL 2016!

Can't tell if serious.

Please be sarcasm.

Rand Paul is one of the craziest people I've ever heard speak.

 

[Thai]

Yes, it was amazingly odd.

so amazingly awkward. the whole thing was awkward, but the water was the best part. Republicans are always crazy awkward.

 

[Chiggs]

I can't get the Rand Paul streams to work!

 

[TheBahaBlast]

Not as awkward as Jindal... until he reached for dat water.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Generation that caused America's decline... got a nice ring to it. ;-)

I honestly don't think any forward progress of significant value will get done for at least a decade. A lot depends on the 2020 election/census year. The majority of people in power now just aren't pragmatic enough, and are too out of the loop to fully understand the effects (and legislate with appropriate acumen) of rapidly advancing technology. Things won't really be looking up until the baby boomers no longer hold much political sway.

Was "moral decline" code for gay rights, or what?

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I don't believe he blamed big government for the loan crisis.

 

[Volimar]

Was "moral decline" code for gay rights, or what?

Also for feminism....

 

[speculawyer]

So Rand Paul wants to end the Camp David Peace Agreement? That will be great for Israel, Rand.

 

[Phreaker]

That and legalized weed.

[Freezie KO]

Rand Paul: Freeze all spending or we're in danger of having our credit rating downgraded.

Yes, that's the worst that'll happen if we completely stop all government spending.

 

[RDreamer]

"The value of the dollar shrinks with each day!" - Rand

Yeah, because inflation has totally been a problem lately.

Fucking clown

 

[IrrelevantNotch]

Also for feminism....

Yea, I was half expecting him to call out abortion. What a wuss.

 

[FO-totality]

baby killing

 

[speculawyer]

I don't believe he blamed big government for the housing crisis.

Yeah, the CRA excuse is so weak. The vast majority of loans were not even through entities subject to the CRA. It is one of those excuses that only works in the bubble.

 

[mr2xxx]

Was "moral decline" code for gay rights, or what?

The gays and not enough Jesus in our lives, also women slutting it up I guess.

Rand Paul trying to edge out the Republicans for the coveted "Who is more out of touch" award.

Yea, I was half expecting him to call out abortion. What a wuss.

He already did his damage in voting against the Violence Against Women Act's re-authorization.
