"Hmmm. I wonder if this ploy will work."

Poor Rand Paul. He's trying a new strategy that may not work. He's smart enough to see that Republicans are alienating most of America with their anti-women, anti-gay, anti-poor, anti-middle class rhetoric. But he's not smart enough to know how transparent his pretending to be middle-of-the-road is.  Recently this arrogant Senator from Kentucky alienated some of his socially conservative cronies by sounding ambivalent on the issue of abortion. To make it worse it was during an interview with David Axelrod. I'm sure Randy thinks this will make a lot of voters think he's a reasonable right winger. And I'm sure he'll try to sound reasonable on other issues. But underneath I think he's just as cold and pro-wealthy as as all his party pals, including such ice queens as Paul Ryan.
