[Video] Rand Paul Delivers Response to President's State of the Union Address - Jan. 28, 2014

[Occam's Banana]

On this though, is Rand attending the speech and then delivering his. Or, is this pre-tapped, and will air immediately after? I hope he has his talking points down......................

Someone else said somewhere that it was going to be released on YouTube and pumped over social media, with Rand making the rounds on cable TV interviews and the Sunday pundit shows.

King Rips Alternative SOTU Rebuttals

JANUARY 28, 2014 7:16 PM
BY DAN FRIEDMAN

Just in case you weren’t sure about how Rep. Peter King (R-L.I.) feels about the proliferating conservative responses to the State of the Union, he is not a fan.

King, like many Republicans, said separate Tea Party style responses from Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) detract from Republican messaging by confusing the reaction.

"They're just cutting in on the real Republican response,” King said.

King, who borders on acting as a ful-time critic of Paul, whose libertarian national security stances King loathes, said Paul is “just trying to stick his face in on national coverage.”

King said a separate Spanish language response by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, which is expected to closely mirror the official GOP reaction from Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers, on the other hand, isn’t a problem.

That is “fine,” King said. “That’s a different audience Republicans wouldn’t normally get.”

I imagine that EVERY politician will deliver a SOTU Response. Title is bogus and alludes that this is the Republican response

 

[Tod]

I wonder if Rand will respond live or if he pre-recorded (which would take a lot of punch out of his response, I would think)?

Catch it here.....sometime.

Most of the responses will not be televised, especially not just after the SOTU by the bulk of channels.

Title is bogus and alludes that this is the Republican response

Title is fine and says exactly what it is: "*a* State of the Union response" (and not "*the* Republican response").

I added "a" a few minutes ago, in response to the criticism.

Ah, I see! Well, nevermind me, then ... sorry, UA! :o

For my next feat, I'll be sticking a fork into an electrical outlet ...

Very good. The set-up was very Presidential looking. The content was great, although I would call this an economic speech more than a SOTU. Maybe the SOTU should be nothing more than a financial statement.

It might be a little long and complex for the average American.

Nobody even knows Cathy McMorris Rodgers. Whoever thought up the idea of having her give the SOTU response should be fired.

Worst. Decision. Ever.

She came off very well. A polished public speaker. She doesn't seem like she would make the same slip ups that Rubio or Palin have made.

She was considered a potential VP pick for Romney, probably only cause she is a woman and establishment-friendly.

After tonight's speech, she is the front runner for 2016 GOP VP pick. The establishment dream. A competent spokesperson, fully on board with the establishment agenda.

i still remember the rubio water bottle incident

 

[Publicani]

I watched both responses: Rand's and that woman. Couldn't finish. Both are similar in platitudes and generalities. Both speak to us slow as and explain trivialities as if we are idiots. Both didn't answer the main question: How GOP is different from Obama? You gonna go for amnesty to illegals. you gonna keep Obamacare, you gonna prosecute Snowden and leave NSA essentially in place, you gonna keep spending money, you gonna continue wars.

 

[Publicani]

I just watched Lee - the same bs. I want Ron Paul back: close 5 departments, abandon the Fed, stop the wars.
