Rand Paul: Mountain Top Removal Is Like Viagra For Nature

11:06 am EST July 29th, 2010 | Environment, Republicans | 5 Comments

That’s essentially what he’s claiming when he applauds mountaintop removal.

In a wide-ranging profile due out in next month’s issue of Details, Kentucky’s Republican nominee for Senate, Rand Paul, stands up for all the good things the controversial practice of mountain top-removal mining can do for the environment. Despite warnings from conservationists that blowing the tops off of mountains to get the precious, precious coal underneath can have a seriously negative impact on the surrounding environment, Paul says that when you really stop to think about it, losing those mountain tops is actually a net positive.

Rand Paul and Sharron Angle show us that when it comes to Tea Party Republicans you don’t have to do opposition research, hell you don’t even have to ask them hard questions. Just ask them simple questions, and their lips do all the indictment.

    This is why I paved my yard. That enhanced the crap out of my home’s value. Now, what used to be a stupid, shitty garden is like 4 awesome parking spaces. I even painted yellow lines and put in a mini cart corral — it’s like I LIVE right at TARGET!!!

    And really, when you think about it, what Kentucky needs is more flat land for building. You, know, because it’s not sparsely populated to begin with?

    Sounds like Rand Paul wants to live in a world based off of the movie “Idiocracy”.

    The Usual Trolls had plenty to say about Ms. Sherrod, but all I hear from them on this subject is crickets.

    Dennis, Farris, Frank, where are you when we need the Talking Point?

    You know what’s funny? All this Teabagger bullshit is actually going to lose the GOP seats in November.

    Fucking morons.
