It would be better if he could do the official Republican response, but I guess the GOP establishment would never allow that.

 

[Mr.NoSmile]

I mean it's not the GOP response, but hey, it's something and newsworthy. Again, I like that Paul is keeping himself relevant and in the headlines, even if the likes of Rubio, Bush and Christie are still pushed as top-tier candidates. Paul's keeping his name out there and hopefully he doesn't pull a Rubio or even a Bachmann.

Rand Paul to give post-SOTU speech

By BURGESS EVERETT | 1/23/14 4:45 PM EST

Rand Paul will deliver his own response to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address, offering Republicans a third choice for their post-speech viewing.

The Kentucky Republican’s office will blast out his rebuttal to Obama’s speech via social media and his e-mail list, an aide said. Paul gave the tea party’s speech in 2013, following the official GOP rebuttal from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).

Paul joins two other Republicans, who will also deliver a GOP reaction to Obama: Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington will deliver the official GOP response while Sen. Mike Lee of Utah will deliver the tea party address.

He was listed last night, in a poll on Bill O's program against Hillary and he faired better than other repubs. I record that retard's program so I'll go pull it up and post it here, just for the record.

The GOP is just completely void of any reason, who are they gonna have do the response? Poland Springs Rubio? Bridgegate Christie? No actual budget cuts Paul Ryan? I stole the nomination Romney?

my bad...Christie did 2 points better...

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington will deliver the official GOP response...

She speaks like a kindergarten teacher. Might be a good fit then...

They have a whole lot of reason when you consider who the "they" is who are making these decisions and what their goal is.

They are only going to allow establishment (aka big government, pro-crony capitalist, etc.) people to be in the limelight, because that is who they want elected. They'd much rather the Democrat (aka big government, pro-crony capitalist, etc.) person be elected before a limited government constitutionalist.

Wow, even after Christie's bridge fiasco. O'Reilly's audience is really lost.

Isn't it Mike Lee?

 

[TER]

Isn't it Mike Lee?

I think Mike Lee is giving the Tea Party response.

Actually, it wasn't his audience. It was a Quinnipiac University Poll Jan. 15-19 1,933 registered voters, MOE +/- 2.2%

College kids. Go figure.

 

[Anti-Neocon]

Not college kids, it was a poll across all demographics which just happened to be taken by a college. And the full impact of the bridge/Sandy scandals will take weeks to show up in the polls to their full effect.

I think it's pretty safe to say that Christie is toast with traffic jam.

Well Fox did everything it could to recover Christie's image. It's pretty clear who they will ordain. Although, Hannity and Kelly seem to like Rand.

How do you stomach that much Fox "News"? That's an impressive skill, akin to sword swallowing.

And, at least they included Rand in the poll in the first place.

I record many shows on various stations, and then sit and FF through them until I find something that interests me.
