Rand Paul: Democrats Should Be ‘Embarrassed’ To Be Seen With Bill Clinton

[mota bhai 2,675]

“We have a lot of conservative Democrats in our state who go to church each week and really don’t approve of his behavior, what he has done with sexual harassment in the workplace,” Paul said, referencing the Monica Lewinsky scandal. “A lot of Democrats in our state don’t approve of that kind of behavior.”

Paul, who previously called Clinton a “serial philanderer,” thinks it’s a mistake for Democrats to view Clinton as some type of role model.

“I think really having him as some sort of role model for the Democrat Party, it’s something they ought to rethink because there are a lot of people who don’t agree with those kind of values,” Paul told Fox News.

Talking about Clinton’s appearance at Grimes’ rally, Paul said Democrats should return money he has raised and that they should be “embarrassed” to be seen with him.

“I think he’s a bad role model for the workplace, for women’s rights, for all of that, and I think really they ought to be a little embarrassed to be associated or being seen with him,” Paul stated.

Rand Paul was raked over the coals with his checkered past and now he's turned into a morality hawk. Same with Darrel Issa - a former car thief who has become an attack dog, sniffing for any thing sh!t that might stick on Obama.

Odd thing about KY, always votes republican in national elections. Pretty much a given. Yet, our governors are steadily democrats and local county elections or "old boys" are democrats by in large.

Sexual harassment is a serious issue. As is perjury. The fact that the economy did well doesn't change that.

This is only a story b/c #1 Clinton carried Ky twice and #2 he was there yesterday speaking.

If Hillary does run the GOP better come up with a better strategy than drudging up ####### from the 90s - plus I don't see how attacking Bill for adultery will somehow translate into an attack on Hillary, to me it would do the exact opposite especially with women voters.

You've got a purty mouth.

They're trying to save ol' Mitch. Hopefully it won't work. They're trying to save his a$$ by scaring people with obama care. Which shouldn't work since kynect is doing so well.

Yeah if I recall, Mitch barely won re-election last time. I think it was a very close race. I'm not a fan of him in the least bit or Rand Paul for that matter. The one thing I will give credit to Rand Paul for doing is reaching out to different demographics, even if half the things he says when doing so just shoots him in the foot lol at least he tries.

That depends on what your definition of serious is.

I was back then and still am critical of this Presidency but neither of those events bothers me (adultery and lying about it). I also voted for him twice though, not like I had a choice.

That's the problem with American politics, we have no choices. It's like you have to punch the button and hold your nose. Morally I don't have the option of not voting, and despite the valid arguments for third party candidates it's still a waste of your vote imo unless the entire system is changed.

Perjury is serious. I don't care who you are or why you did it. He did it, and he deservedly got impeached for it. The Senate not removing him from office for it was as serious an injury to our form of government as the SCOTUS anointing Bush the victor in Bush v Gore.

Of course perjury is serious, not saying it isn't but for me lying about having an affair to cover your azz is a matter between a husband and a wife. The political climate against Clinton during that time was insanely high.

Also, for what it's worth, he was acquitted. Granted it fell along partisan lines but still he was not found guilty of perjury - so in the eyes of the law he didn't lie about anything. The man still had like a 70% approval rating during all of this - most people didn't care then and today still don't care. I think the GOP has a memory problem

just to clarify my earlier comments im not condoning adultery, I'm just saying it's a matter between a married couple and none of my business. I hate when people try to legislate morality.

Clinton will roll Rand Paul up and smoke him any day of the week and twice on Sundays. And that goes for either Bill or Hillary.

Usually the politicians that screamed the loudest about Slick Willie were doing their own dirt. Remember Gary Condit?

Bill's reputation as a party guy forgives all his past sins. Hilary is a buzz kill, so she will not be so easily forgiven. I wouldn't look for consistency in the American electorate, or the Democratic Party. It just is not there.

Wasn't he a Democrat?
