So he should take the high ground and not have a chance? Glad someone is finally playing offense instead of just constantly trying to prove they are not has bad as the democrats say they are.

One way of looking at it.

Of course another perspective is that its just months before the mid terms and two years before the next presidential election.

I don't know why Paul would rehash this old story, but I guess there must be a method to his madness. Has he poll tested this line of attack, and if so, who would be hurt by it? Hillary? The Democratic party? Perhaps it's just red meat for the Republican base to help him break out of the pack.

dumb comment, imo. It is never smart to insult the most popular president of the 20th century.

Clinton never received as much as 50% in either election. Still today there is a sizable percentage of Americans who view him as a POS.

Going after Clinton in this manner is brilliant.

I think it's brilliant. It's going to force Hillary to answer questions about this in the future.

Do you really think these types of attacks will hurt Hillary?

What if Rand will enact the same, or very similar, policies, as his dad,

You've got it backwards. The elite instructs the media on what the strategies will be. If you think for one minute that Rand Paul is going to lead the media around, well.....

Yeah ... it only matters if we're talking about a Romney dog in a pet carrier on the roof of a station wagon.

Or Ann Romney having a horse.

Depends if any of our country's crack journalists of irreproachable integrity would ask her for a response.

I do since it will neutralize the insane war on women rhetoric. Its really a perfect attack since the Clintons can't respond much less defend themselves from it.

Not really attacks.
They are small doses of proper perspective.

Rand is tearing into the War on Women BS.
Insofar as Hillary is angling to lock up the women's early on for Democrats, these perspective setting comments are an effective eye opener.

By focusing on infidelity rather than wage disparities, forced invasive ultrasounds, rapey comments from Republicans, etc. Yeah, this will work.

His only chance is to pander to the elite. That's how we got into this mess in the first place. Do we really want more of the same?

That story might have good for late night commedians, but I doubt that it cost him a single vote.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Why shouldn't the media talk about a potential future First Lady's Olympic quest? Don't you think her family was proud of her? Also, that was a current story when it was reported, not a 20-year old story.

Infidelity?
Is that what you call sexual predation, assault, and possibly rape?

As far as I know, Rand hasn't put his foot in his mouth, a la Todd Akin, so why would he be vulnerable to that line of attack?
