Yep, that’s Cuccinelli’s pal Rand Paul, who also voted to keep the government shut down indefinitely and to destroy our economy by defaulting on the debt, among other things (e.g., he’s a raging homophobe and climate science denier, either one of which should automatically qualify you as “not fit to hold public office,” not to mention nuts).
ea party hero Rand Paul warned scientific advancements could lead to eugenics during a Monday visit at Liberty University, looking to boost the political fortunes of fellow Republican Ken Cuccinelli’s bid for governor.
During a visit to the Christian school founded by Jerry Falwell, Paul looked to energize conservative supporters by warning that people who are short, overweight or less intelligent could be eliminated through abortion. With one week remaining, Cuccinelli is hoping the joint appearance with the U.S. senator from Kentucky will encourage the far-right flank of his party to abandon third-party libertarian spoiler Robert Sarvis.
“In your lifetime, much of your potential – or lack thereof – can be known simply by swabbing the inside of your cheek,” Paul said to a packed sporting arena on Liberty’s campus. “Are we prepared to select out the imperfect among us?”
In. Sane.
P.S. Also check out that photo by The Guardian’s Dan Roberts – very telling.
