Rand Paul: A gag-worthy campaign slogan

By Richard K. Barry

Hmmm, how stupid do I think voters are?

Politico is reporting that Rand Paul will soon announce a new campaign slogan: “Defeat the Washington machine. Unleash the American dream."

The slogan, beneath the RANDPAC logo of a torch flame, will be unveiled tomorrow as the senator kicks off a five-day, five-state announcement tour – starting in Kentucky and then going to New Hampshire, South Carolina, Iowa and Nevada (plus a Friday night fundraiser in Newport Beach, Calif.). The slogan is designed to set a theme that would work in both the primaries and the general election.

Has American politics really become so simple minded and devoid of analysis? All we need do is get government out of the way and the American dream will become a reality for everyone. Right.
