    Democrats attack Rand Paul for criticizing Obama abroad

    (CNN) – The Democratic National Committee blasted Sen. Rand Paul on Friday for criticizing the President while on a foreign trip.

    "America has a proud tradition of letting politics stop at the water’s edge, but Paul doesn’t think that tradition applies to him," Michael Czin, the DNC's press secretary, said in a memo to reporters. “Regardless of political party, we do not go abroad and slam our own because of policy differences.”

    ...

    The DNC also accused Paul of using the medical trip to Guatemala as a "campaign trip," referencing reports that political ad makers, reporters, and a documentary film crew followed him during the week.

    CNN has reached out to Paul's office for a response to the DNC's comments.

    Paul told Breitbart that most of his meeting with the Guatemalan president was focused on his humanitarian trip.

    “I didn’t intend this to be a political trip,” he said. “But I’m happy to answer questions about what came up in the meeting."

    And good publicity for Rand! Obama isn't exactly popular now, so the the Dems are only advertising that Rand is in step with the voting public. Bring it on!
    Brawndo's got what plants crave. Its got electrolytes.



    H. L. Mencken said it best:


    “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”


    "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

    That's one of several examples. Team Blue sounds more like Team Red every day. We can get a lot of mileage from saying, 'Gee you sound a lot like a good old-line Republican right now.'
