Speaking with David Gregory on Meet The Press today, Senator Rand Paul decided to relitigate the 90s saying that the Democrats accusing the GOP of waging a ‘war on women’ is totally undercut because President Clinton is a sexual predator who skinned his victims alive and wore their flesh like a new suit.
“One of the workplace laws and rules that I think are good is that bosses should not prey on young interns in their office. And I think really the media seems to have given President Clinton a pass on this. He took advantage of a girl that was 20 years old and an intern in his office. There is no excuse for that, and that is predatory behavior….. Then they (Democrats) have the gall to stand up and say, ‘Republicans are having a war on women.’ ”
At least Rand Paul thinks it’s a good thing that there are some workplace laws and rules that protect young women from their bosses, but not from being unpaid interns? I guess you can’t have it all, ladies.
And if your boss doesn’t believe in contraception, abortion on demand, even in cases of rape and incest, equal pay, same sex marriage rights, daycare, food and nutritional assistance– if you’re desperate, pregnant and starving, you get to decide when it’s okay for your boss to take advantage of you.
‘Binders full of women’ never had it so good under the visionary leadership of today’s Republican party. I get the feeling that this isn’t exactly what they’ve been teaching Republicans in outreach training class. How to attack your female opponent without sounding like a psycho woman-hater?

Sen. Paul, in his best smelly-garbage-face, intimated that this is all fair game, and where he comes from, they would ‘disassociate themselves’ from anyone in the community who would “take advantage of young women” like that.
I think it’s wonderful that Rand Paul can stand up to what he believes is predatory behavior and lives in a community that never forgives and never forgets. Because they’re Christians!
And, as everyone knows, right wing media, and media in general, is always giving breaks to the Clintons, while Republicans never have any affairs, or take advantage of young women, or boys, and they always disassociate themselves from such scoundrels immediately following their all-man panel denying women access to contraceptives, voting, abortions, and good paying jobs.
