Rand Paul will fight for Kentucky's earmarks and pork

Ayn Rand Paul?

I once thought he was named after Ayn Rand as well, but his name is Randal.

I think it isn't a coincidence though

So he's saying he will fight against this sort of thing for all states as a union to get rid of it across the board but until that time comes there is a certain amount of money in the kitty that states will be grabbing and he is gonna grab Kentucky's portion until it goes away.

The federal government will still be lining the till with money from Kentucky to hand out so they will stand in line until it goes away correct?

It makes sense to me.

But that is exactly the reason we are fucked. He is no different than any other politician.

You would think with a name like that he would have risen to someting less mundane than an optometrist.

It is a coincidence according to Rand Paul:

He went by Randy until he got married and his wife started calling him Rand... without thinking about people connecting it to Ayn Rand.
