Brain -> Is Rand Paul the new Sarah Palin? (5/24/2010 8:25:23 PM)

FTA: Paul and Palin may both be anti-abortion and anti-immigration, says Ross Douthat in The New York Times, but Paul's views "shouldn't be confused with the Tea Party movement." He is "radically noninterventionist" and "so stringently constitutionalist" that he really qualifies as a paleoconservative. And "paleoconservatives are self-marginalizing, and self-destructive." Paul / Palin in 2012 works for me - change you CAN count on - count on to set the country back to the 17th century. Is Rand Paul the new Sarah Palin? After his rocky debut on the national stage, Rand Paul canceled an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," citing "fatigue." Sarah Palin, on Fox News, was sympathetic, saying the Kentucky GOP Senate candidate is learning, as she did in 2008, that "prejudiced" reporters and media personalities are mostly "looking for the gotcha moment" with certain conservatives. Palin's not the first person to compare Paul and herself — Bill Maher on Friday said of Paul, "It's as if Sarah Palin somehow made it through medical school" — but are the two candidates really similar? http://theweek.com/article/index/203290/is-rand-paul-the-new-sarah-palin [image]local://upfiles/392475/707744E56E074D188EB908D8348D986C.jpg[/image]
