Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) wasn’t content to label Bill Clinton a sexual predator. Paul has extended his definition of a sexual predator to all Democrats because they defended President Clinton in the 1990s.
Paul told The Hill, “It is quite hypocritical that a party that says they’re great defenders of women in the workplace supports a guy who violated all of those pledges, all of those promises that the workplace is a safer place for women than it has been in the past. He’s a throwback to a sort of troglodyte time, where men did whatever they wanted to women in the workplace.”
The argument being advanced by Sen. Paul is that Democrats can’t be advocates for the rights of women because some of them defended Bill Clinton’s behavior during the Lewinsky scandal. In Paul’s view, the behavior of Clinton has invalidated all Democratic advocacy for women. The Kentucky senator was insinuating that all Democrats are sexual predators because some of them took the side of Bill Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal.
It is obvious what Paul is trying to do. He wants to revive the memories of the Clinton scandals so that voters will not be interested in voting for Hillary Clinton in 2016. Paul’s strategy gives off an overwhelming smell of desperation. He understands that if women continue their strong support of the Democratic Party, the Republicans have diminished odds of retaking the White House in 2016.
Paul’s attacks on former President Clinton are growing more pathetic by the day. As long as his party stands on a platform of telling a woman what she can and can’t do with her own body while denying her the right to equal pay for equal work, Rand Paul is screwed.
Sen. Paul has been grossly overrated as a potential 2016 Republican candidate. He is a no trick pony with little to offer besides catch phrases that he inherited from his dad. His sad little attacks against Bill Clinton may backfire, as his complete denial of the war on women may only serve to fire Democrats up and get them to the polls in 2014 and 2016.
