He said Obamacare was the worst thing to happen to the country since slavery. Someone asked him if maybe 9/11 was worse than Obamacare, and he said "You're missing the point."

It is pretty obvious that the only reason the GOP is pushing him at all is because he's black. He is woefully unprepared to be a national politician.

Nobody in the GOP is pushing him besides himself and a few talk show hosts. He has no establishment support, and all of his biggest fans in congress are going to be running against him in the primary.

There's no "he's just being used as a token!" narrative to push because nobody significant is actually backing him.

Lots of angry and negative vibes out there. Violence only begets more violence.

Look on the bright side: unlike Darren Wilson, the chokehold officer is (hopefully) facing serious consequences and additional litigation. There also hasn't been a national white supremacist fundraiser going for him and he's just using City and Union money that is set aside for this purpose.

WASHINGTON—In an effort to restore the public’s faith in law enforcement, President Obama made an impassioned appeal this week, calling for the installation of turret-mounted video cameras on all police tanks. “This initiative will ensure that police officers across the country will be held accountable for their actions as they pour out of an 18-ton combat vehicle in response to a routine call,” said Obama

This is true. But a firing and a civil suit is not a "bright side" to the fact that a cop who murdered someone on camera is not even going to trial.

Rand Paul has some thoughts about net neutrality, which is obviously a government plot to make you buy a Comcast subscription.

quote:

Net neutrality advocates fear that without FCC regulation, digital monopolies will develop, as big companies charge for Internet access. Paul said, "I don't like monopolies, but I also don't like monopolies where the government gives the monopoly. For example, in many cities, there's a virtual monopoly on cable." He pointed out, "I think if there's evidence that someone has a monopoly, let's take away government privilege that creates the monopoly."

Monopolies are kind of like the Obamacare of net neutrality.
