HBO host Bill Maher doesn’t like Hillary Clinton. Okay. I’m
not a big fan of hers either. In an interview with The Hill, Maher went on to
say that he might consider voting for a Republican in 2016. Come again, Bill?
He thinks Rand Paul is an interesting candidate.
Bill, Bill, Bill.
For a person who pretends to be politically savvy and
informed, this is a spectacularly idiotic pronouncement (unless it was a bit of
satirical theatre, but I doubt that). With the exception of his isolationist
tendencies, Paul is a conservative’s conservative, the kind that Bill Maher
routinely mocks on his show. Bill, if you’re reading this, here are some of
Paul’s far right-wing creds for you to absorb:
Abortion: Pro-life. Abortion regulation should be left up to
the states.
Education: Advocate of home schooling. Doesn’t want the
federal government to regulate home schooling in any way.
Energy and the environment: Doesn’t believe in man-made
global warming and opposes the EPA efforts to enforce greenhouse emissions.
Health care: Opposes Obamacare and universal healthcare.
Despite the facts, he doesn’t believe there are significant numbers of
Americans unable to access healthcare.
Social Security: Advocates privatizing Social Security.
Second Amendment: Strong supporter of the right to bear
arms. Lifelong member of the NRA.
Economy: Believes it’s a myth that government can create
jobs.
Immigration: Does not believe in amnesty for illegal
immigrants and wants the government to strictly enforcement immigration laws.
Rand Paul? Seriously?
