I said basically the same thing about Rand getting bushwhacked by his neighbor the other day. 

You go MarkWayne.

Sounds like a personal issue that should be resolved behind closed doors, not out in public.

I just wish Paul would get as worked up against his Rat opponents.

Well, I agree with Paul on this one, unpopular as that opinion may be, because Mullin comes across as an ignorant thug and a bully. Further, his nomination to DHS feels like a shady move engineered by Thune and Cornyn to rid the Senate of him by kicking him "upstairs" to DHS, where he'll self-destruct or flame out soon enough if confirmed.

Personally I'm not all that impressed with Mullin.  He made a fortune from his family plumbing business (?) He then campaigned on being a rancher ....???  Something just strikes me as off with this guy.

In 2012, Mullin reported between $200,000 and $2 million in income from two family companies, and another $15,000 to $50,000 from shares he held in a bank. By the end of 2021, his reported assets had increased to between $31.6 million and $75.6 million.  The increase was from the sale of his plumbing-related companies to HomeTown Services. Mullin said the sale happened in early 2021, while he was serving in the House of Representatives.

IMHO Trump has made a mistake letting Noem go, and tapping Mullin for Secy of DHS. 

As for Rand ... he has every right to his opinion of this guy.  There is a reason why they hold hearings.

Mullins is a man's man. Liberals hate that.  Squishy Pubs do too.  Rand is a little girl with hurt feelings.  The sooner he's gone back to pulling teeth the better.  He's a dentist right?

I think he is an optometrist but he still MIGHT be able to pull a tooth.

Rand Paul is a medical doctor (M.D.), having graduated from Duke University School of Medicine in 1988.  He completed a residency in ophthalmology and worked as a practicing eye surgeon in Bowling Green, Kentucky, for 17 years before entering politics.

Rand Paul specialized in ophthalmology, performing cataract and glaucoma surgeries, LASIK procedures, and corneal transplants.

Mullin's "stand your butt up" moment revealed more about him than we suspected. I would never have thought that he'd make excuses for Paul's neighbor who violently attacked him, leaving him with very serious injuries. Also, I'm puzzled as to why so many on this thread seem to be okay with it. :thud: All Mullin had to do was apologize for using bad judgment in a heated moment. That would be an adult thing to do. He couldn't bring himself to do that? There aren't enough physical attacks on political opponents already without encouraging more?? :shrug: Paul would have nothing to beef about had he just done that.

I'll have to rethink my estimation of Mullin.

I've already reconsidered what I think of Rand Paul.  I'd like somebody who won't disagree with everything put before him out of hand.  That's what Rand has become. A Contrarian.

Mullin's "stand your butt up" moment revealed more about him than we suspected. I would never have thought that he'd make excuses for Paul's neighbor who violently attacked him, leaving him with very serious injuries. Also, I'm puzzled as to why so many on this thread seem to be okay with it. :thud: All Mullin had to do was apologize for using bad judgment in a heated moment. That would be an adult thing to do. He couldn't bring himself to do that? There aren't enough physical attacks on political opponents already without encouraging more?? :shrug: Paul would have nothing to beef about had he just done that.

I'll have to rethink my estimation of Mullin.

I've already reconsidered what I think of Rand Paul.  I'd like somebody who won't disagree with everything put before him out of hand.  That's what Rand has become. A Contrarian.

He got it honest!

Yes he did. I like both Rand and Ron. But they both can sometimes be a little extreme.

Ron used to be my congresscritter. He had his moments, but I think Rand has him beat.




Listen, y'all. My defense of his position in this thing between him and Mullin isn't putting my stamp of approval on his cantankerous ways. He can definitely be a pill. But he never deserved to be attacked, and that should go without saying.

Mullin would have kicked his ass.   Put up or shut up.  The Union guy shut up.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Ophthalmologist.  Much different!  Did a lot of Cataract surgery.

He still does.  When the Senate is out of session, he goes home to Kentucky and quietly works with free eye care and vision clinics to perform surgeries on poor, uninsured people, who otherwise would go blind.

Sure.  Why not.  Rand is little thin-skinned peckerwood.

You know, I think we all have had neighbors we haven't cared for, but I can't think of even one that I could give anyone the beat down that Rand Paul got.

That gives me pause, and the thought that Paul may be  the ultimate petulant ass wipe that is being whispered around in congressional circles.
