Rand Paul appeared on ABC's Good Morning America this morning to further address his remarks on The Rachel Maddow Show. Or at least that was supposedly the reason for his appearance. Instead he railed against the media, in particular Rachel Maddow and the liberal media aided by the "Democrat Party".

"When does my honeymoon period start? I had a big victory," Paul told George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America" today. "I've just been trashed up and down and they have been saying things that are untrue. And when they say I'm for repealing the Civil Rights Act, it's absolutely false. It's never been my position and something that I basically just think is politics."

Paul even thought to bring up 92-year-old Robert Byrd.

"If you want to bring up 40-year-old legislation, why don't you bring me on with Sen. Byrd, and we'll talk about how he filibustered the Civil Rights Act," he said of the 92-year-old West Virginia Democrat. "Make him, call him to task for something he actually did as opposed to calling me to task for something they insinuated that I might believe that's not true.

"What is going on here is an attempt to vilify us for partisan reasons. Where do your talking points come from? The Democratic National Committee, they also come from Rachel Maddow and MSNBC."

1. Oh boo-freakin-hoo, Rand. Don't blame Rachel Maddow for

YOUR view of things. She gave you a platform, and you promptly hung yourself from it. You did it to yourself.

[Mosaic]

17. Moron

Not only is this guy a nut and a racist. He's dumb as rocks. He will be defeated.

[Demeter]

2. When Was the Marriage?

Can't have a honeymoon without a marriage. Nobody's in love with you, Rand. Can't love a villain like you.

[herbm]

3. Usualy fu*king yourself means you are have one bad honey moon.

I think they let him off easy. He sure liked Rachel BEFORE he spoke his honest mind and she hauled him up short. He thinks he can stonewall his way thorough the elections the way Sanford and the Sen from Nevada think they can. All the teabaggers still standing can not elect any one of these goofs.

[Cleita]

4. "Stormee Whether" from the gentlemen's club was busy

doing ole Mitch the Turtle to console him on losing his seat.

[pepperbear]

5. Oh, Rand! Like so many other Republicans, your honeymoon lasted 5 minutes.

[Kerrytravelers]

6. Basically, he likes the "glory" of being a "rebel" but doesn't want to be held accountable.

Way to go, KY republicans! :applause: This will be a very easy seat to win! :applause:

[havocmom]

7. his whiney voice and sniveling remind me of..

bush.

[tomm2thumbs]

8. hahaha he can try to act collected, but that my friends was a completely frustrated wittle boy

he wasn't getting his way and when a spoiled boy doesn't get what he wants, he acts just like what you saw

tsk tsk tsk

[MrModerate]

9. This pusbag is not going to wear well on the campaign trail . . .

I realize he's playing in a Republican/Right-wing state, but he's seriously smarmy (and whiny, for that matter). I think even tea partiers prefer a *little* class from their candidates.

[Bitwit1234]

10. I think this liberal media crap is getting old

I say pass a law that says each and every news station, and media in print must post who owns them and the party affiliation. In other words if they are liberal or conservative or tea bags.

[SkyDaddy7]

11. Honeymoon? You have not won yet!!

SHUT UP cry baby!!

[bulloney]

12. Do these assclown Republicans/Libertarians EVER take responsibility for their words or actions?

You can replay TV or radio excerpts of them saying or doing something. It can be plain as day and they'll still deny it or blame the LIBRUL media or something.

And Rand...about that LIBRUL media...Put a sock in it. I can turn on my radio and get RW talk shows from one end of the AM dial to the other ALL DAY LONG. There's nothing close to that from the Left. Insinuating that Faux Snooze is part of the Librul Media is laughable. As a group, the media are major corporations or are part of major corporations run by people who are overwhelmingly Republican and contribute heavily to Republicans.

You talk about red herrings? That Librul Media bullshit is the biggest one out there.

[activa8tr]

14. The definition of Republicanism is NO including the answer to the

question as the whether they take responsibility for ANYTHING!

The Republican Party can be renamed the NOTRESPONSIBLE Party!

And what a bunch of whimps they are!

[roscoeroscoe]

13. wow. sad...

...epic fail.

[Martunez]

15. DUMB-ASS!

You don't get a honeymoon period after winning a nomination. You get a campaign, and this one's just started!

[olegramps]

16. his Honeymoon turned into a gooey wet dream and he is stuck in it.

[rocktivity]

18. I guess he was expecting the same "honeymoon" other Rethugs get

from the "liberal" media.

You're not ready for prime time, Rand, and you've aimed too high. Start your political career at the bottom with something you can handle--like running for dog catcher.

19. That honeymoon complaint is code.

What he's really saying is "you liberal media bastards are just after me because I'm a Republican, not like Obama who you're in love with."

I speak crazy... not fluently, but pretty good.

[JHB]

21. It helps with fluency when...

...that's exactly what his campaign website is saying. (well, I don't think they make an overt Obama reference, but he's still playing the "The Lib'rul Media is out to get me!" card to the hilt.

[rocktivity]

22. Oh, but he's NOT a Republican: he's a Libertarian who didn't have the guts

to run as an independent or third party candidate and had the luck to latch on as a teabagger. Even his double standards have double standards!

:headbang:

[and-justice-for-all]

20. Maddow would take your head off Rand....

so save yourself the embarrassment and crawl back under your rock.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

23. Listening to Bland Paul talk is like watching paint dry.

[herbm]

24. Ron Paul is worse, except when he talks about ending the stupid wars. Not enough to vote for him or

his dipstick son.
