http://thehill.com TheHill PHILADELPHIA — Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul says he will bash Hillary Clinton over her husband’s record of putting “a generation of black men in prison” if he is the nominee. Paul, a freshman senator from Kentucky, says he will compete with Clinton in Philadelphia, where Democrats have a 7-to-1 registration advantage, and other impoverished cities by highlighting his support for criminal justice reform. “If I were the nominee, we will compete in Philadelphia,” he told CBS radio talk show host Dom Giordano at the National Constitution Center. “I’ll ask Hillary Clinton, what have you done for criminal justice? Your husband passed all the laws that put a generation of black men in prison. Her husband was responsible for that,” he said. “She’s changing her tune now. She’s changing her tune because people like me have been speaking out against these injustices,” he said. As president, Clinton signed the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which gave states fiscal incentives to enact tougher sentencing laws. Paul noted that in some predominantly African-American communities such as Ferguson, Mo., there are substantially fewer black men than women because so many black men are incarcerated. He touted bills he has introduced with Democratic support that would give judges more discretion in handing out sentencing and would reduce penalties for non- violent drug offenses. Paul said he would also challenge Clinton about her vision for reinvigorating blighted urban centers. “I’ll also ask her what she’s going to do for poor people in Philadelphia. I have a specific plan that would dramatically lower the taxes for people who live in zip codes of poverty and high unemployment. I would leave billions of dollars in Philadelphia over 10 years. What’s Hillary Clinton going to do?” he said. A spokeswoman for Correct the Record, a rapid-response group aligned with Clinton's campaign, argued Paul was engaging in partisan attacks. "Hillary Clinton has continuously fought for a criminal justice system that is fair and balanced by cosponsoring legislation to end racial profiling, fighting for community policing through the COPs program, and presenting bold ideas on how we can work together to fix the inequities in our current system," Mary Rutherford Jennings, deputy communications director for the group, said in a statement. "Rand Paul is choosing instead to play partisan attack games, even attempting to halt this opportunity for progress if it gets him headlines."

Where is this maejick trick? US citizens pay AGAIN?
The magic trick is to portray all blacks as poor misunderstood victims and get their votes.
I really like Rand Paul. He is my choice so far.
Why not just replace the tax code entirely so there is no picking and choosing of who benefits for purely political reasons?? Oh wait never mind I forgot he's a politician...
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
And they still haven't figured that out yet, they just keep right on voting for their own demise.

Yes, if it's good for people who elect bad government officials, it will really be great for cities that elect better politicians. It's probably not a good idea to subsidize stupidity, by giving them a tax incentive to continue to act dumb. It's "wealth spread", AKA - unequal treatment under the law. Stupid is supposed to fail, let it. Maybe after they hit bottom, they'll elect better officials?
Yes, it's wealth spread. I fucking hate memes. It's like the equivalent of people who wear t-shirts or caps with stupid sayings on them.
Well then maybe you should stop... “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
I'm not too sure about that they have proven to be exceptionally stupid to this point, kinda like the Greeks.

I fucking hate sympathetic weak libtards that would rather turn a baby rapist back out on the streets because their "feelings" will be hurt if we kill it.
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
Yes, the deadly baby rapist plague is upon us.
It ain't very "deadly" with bleeding hearts like you roaming our voting booths. The rapists live to rape again.

The rapists live to rape again. I am not a bleeding anything, I just think you are stupid for thinking living in a police state is best. I don't mind strong man rule per say if tempered by Christianity but America has no official religion for me to accept a police state (because it would temper the brutality - see Franco's Spain).
Since when is the definition of executing rapists after a trial by peer, a "police state"? You are a pathetic bleeding heart. You can't hide the flood of blood from your liberal chest by deflecting the topic.

That must stick in your craw that I called you out on your blood lust don't it, flatfoot? I wonder how many people you put behind bars on false evidence?
lol... you defend against my accusations that you are liberal and soft on criminals by claiming harsh punishments of rapists is a "police state"... then you defend that idiocy with "false evidence". So in your delusional mind, we shouldn't harshly punish any criminal because it would be a police state based on false evidence. lol Wow... you are sick. You might make Deckard look like a cop lover compared to you. I'm glad I could bring you out of the closet. lol

I support the detah penalty for murderers of the first degree. You seem to want kill more than I. I don't know how that is soft on crime or not but your arguments reeks of talk show radio bait you probably grew up around - that was the sort o fthing that angered you old people types from the 70s era.
I'm not too sure about that they have proven to be exceptionally stupid to this point, kinda like the Greeks. Racism in Republican ranks against your betters even.
Of course. I'm not weak to a fault.

You're the one who believes that "they" are so inferior that they need special treatment in the form of a lower tax rate. Yo' a cracka! And a wannabe wealth spreader commie.
No, you are just a criminal.
Yo' a cracka! And a wannabe wealth spreader commie. I never once raised the topic. Do you have imaginary conversations often?
Don't be ignorant. I probably break the least laws of anyone that posts here. Must I cut and paste the definition of a criminal?
