Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Thursday took a swipe at billionaire businessman Donald Trump, demanding to see his "Republican registration." While speaking at a breakfast with New Hampshire Republicans one day after "The Donald" visited the Granite State, Paul riffed off the potential GOP presidential candidate's "birther" questions. “I’ve come to New Hampshire today because I’m very concerned,” said Paul, according to The New York Times. “I want to see the original long-form certificate of Donald Trump’s Republican registration.” Paul's comments follow up on some GOP-aligned groups' effort to discredit Trump as a conservative. The free-market Club for Growth has accused Trump of being a liberal for his previous support of universal healthcare and his desire to raise tariffs on China. Trump, who is near the top of some polls, appeared in New Hampshire on Wednesday and spoke directly after President Obama released a copy of his long-form birth certificate to prove he was born in Hawaii, while calling people who question his citizenship "carnival barkers." "Today I am very proud of myself, because I've accomplished something that nobody else was able to accomplish," Trump said. Paul, a Tea Party favorite, said it would serve the GOP better to get behind a candidate who has better conservative credentials. “Let’s look to Republicans who not only talk the talk, but walk the walk,” he said. “If we find the right candidate, I see no reason why we can’t win in 2012.” Paul, whose father, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), is almost certain to run for president, has questioned Trump's potential candidacy before. Asked by CNN in February about Trump's chances, the younger Paul said: "I think his chances are less than my father's."

Thats because your basically and idiot.
I hear you knockin...go back where you been....
You wrote 6 words to call me an 'idiot' Two are missing punctuation. Two are misspelled. You are always good for a laugh Badeye.
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
I hear you knockin...go back where you been....
Now why would the members in good standing of the Oil Company party need to raise money?

thanks for the new tag line.
"Thats because your basically and idiot. Oil companies are making great profits, what's the problem here? The free market is working here, scarce resource with increasing global demand leading to rising prices.

No problem, its not like you've ever come up with anything original. If not copying something from another poster, its bullshit DNC talking points.

Forget Republican, prove he's a conservative.
war has to do something for entertainment. The voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.
So you are a Trump supporter?
"http://first-draft-blog.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c5ced53ef0148c7a28c4b970c-320wi"
he about as much a conservative as palin is a rocket scientist
Try reading my previous comments related to Trump from the past week.
I hear you knockin...go back where you been....
Sorry, I don't waste my time getting into personal flame wars / attacks. If you want to debate politics find, if you want to waste your time getting into yet another personal attack war, then please find someone else to play with.
"Thats because your basically and idiot. He says he's a conservative and headlines tea party events. So what else do you need?
"Thats because your basically and idiot. I hear you knockin...go back where you been....
What tea party events?
And there's more: WSJ/NBC News Poll - April 7, 2011: "Thats because your basically and idiot. I don't think he is a conservative- BUT I do like the tenacity he has shown going after Obama. Not being a coward, makes him more "conservative" than most of the Republicans in office. :)
The fact that Conservatives are fawning over Trump highlights the disregard Conservatives have for actual facts when they launch their political attacks. Trump has made one false statement after another over these last few weeks, and Conservatives openly admire him for his "tenacity." Sigh.....
"Thats because your basically and idiot. I am a conservative, and I wouldn't vote for Trump for POTUS- BUT I can admire his tenacity, can't I? At least he isn't a wuss like all of the career Republicans.
He's dishonest, most of his "tenacity" involves making false statements such as "the birth certificate is missing", "there's a CNN poll showing us tied", "libya sells most of it's oil to china," "you wouldn't believe what my investigators have found in Hawaii" and so on. I would hope you wouldn't admire anyone who's spewing a pack of lies.
"Thats because your basically and idiot. Great job Boofer... BTW, your face can't take much more of you hitting it...
America...My Kind Of Place...
Now, I know I’m not going to change the minds of any of the True Believers…those who read all of Reverend Al’s sermons, and say things like, “You know, global warming can mean warmer OR colder, wetter OR drier, cloudier OR sunnier, windier OR calmer, …”. Can I get an ‘amen’??
rotflmao! Ain't that the truth.
I hear you knockin...go back where you been....
Maybe if I can't fall asleep, or if I suddenly hate myself.
------------------------------------- Oh biffy, we all know you hate yourself. That cleared up, don't fall asleep, its just about time for mommy to call you up out of the basement for dinner.
I hear you knockin...go back where you been....
I am not throwing the baby our with the bathwater. I love to see Obama get what he deserves. What Trump is doing Obama's *karma* coming back at him. :) Of course I call that reaping what he has sown. Either way- I like to see tenacity of someone to go after the democrats. I like it. I want more of it!
Dueling Boofers: Boofer: Stop by the LaRosa's in Mt Orab for some of the best chili you've ever had. Boofer: Yo, clown. LaRosa's doesn't offer chili.(the local owner in Mt Orab does offer it but not via the menu...)
America...My Kind Of Place...
Most of them are a bunch of pussies.... All they have to do is stand up to the PendejoCrats and ignore their retoric and they would have them boxed into a corner... but they don't.....

The fact that Democrats are fawning over Obama highlights the disregard Democrats have for actual facts when they launch their political attacks. Obama has made one false statement after another over these last few years, and Democrats openly admire him for his "tenacity." My that sounds familiar......

Showing bravery, and sticking up against the Democrats like a sore thumb, is my number one attribute for a candidate. I don't want a team player- I am looking for a leader... and one who is steely eyed has real nerve. :) Yea- that is what I would like to see.
So it doesn't matter if they lie to do it?
About this time in '07 JullieAnnie looked unbeatable, then Ron Paul slapped him down in the debate, and it was all over for him. The stupid party nominated the worst they had Juan McAmnesty, and hObama was elected. I'm confident that they'll come up with another sure loser. The only hope for America is a third party candidate.
I recall a re-run of MASH I saw where this uber right winger named Colonel Flagg... Against the democrats? Why would anyone have to lie?
Yea- that is what I would like to see. Rand Paul?
Rand Paul has shown tenacity by taking on Trump and exposing him as a fraud, has he not?
"Thats because your basically and idiot. Stocks?! Commodities. If you're buying stocks the complaining will be your own.
Why complain? 'Free Traders'/Oil companies have given you a way to participate in their game where they say you can get some of your money back if you are willing to assume some risk. My advice ....don't do it when a Republican pres is in office.
