“In every society there are persons who have the intelligence to figure out the requirements of liberty and the character to walk in its ways. This is a scattered fellowship of individuals- mostly unknown to you or me- bound together by a love of ideas and a hunger to know the plain truth of things.” – Leonard Read

Hey, here’s an idea, Mr. Steele – essay questions. I’d like to give you an earful.

Maybe I’ll register as a Democrat to see what kind of BS surveys they send out.

Paul doesn’t have to verbally blame his staff for him publicly voicing his convictions, which stirred a bushel basket of controversies.

Remember when Palin came on the scene? The major excuse for her ignorance was blamed on her handlers. And damn, if there weren’t a whole bunch of people who believed it. She was a victim of somebody else’s screw ups. Of course MSM is always thrown in as a guilty party with bad staffers…no matter how ignorant or stupid a politician is.

Politicians don’t have to say what the motive is for initiating a major staff shake-up. Unspoken implications are commonplace with politicians. Staff changes just happen to be one of those unspoken implications that the lack of preparation by staff that led a politician to make public mistakes. Then of course comes the naturally occurring aftermath – the buzzard MSM was in the background sitting on the fence post waiting to make a huge meal out of the fatal speeches made by dumbass politicians.

So, here we are, Paul said what he believed. It backfired on him. He quickly claimed to be a victim of the brutality of the press, and in particular, Rachel Maddow. He appeared on her show and she forced him to say all his beliefs. Consequently, it’s now presumed that his staff didn’t prepare him or protect him from being a victim. Now those stupid, incompetent staffers have to go.

Way too often it’s not what politicians say, it’s what they don’t say.

In Paul’s case, all of the recent times he made public appearances – he “didn’t say” that he stood accountable for his beliefs despite the fact that he knew that his views and beliefs don’t coincide with those of mainstream America. He also failed to say being seated in the U.S. Senate would not compromise his beliefs nor would he placate to any institution or persons…including those he would serve under in his elected office. Then…let the chips fall where they may.

A good analogy, but I don’t see where he blamed his staff in any way for his own words. But of course, the media needs a good story.
