Rand Paul to give Teabagger rebuttal to President Obama's SOTU speech. Republicans everywhere prepare to facepalm.

"No seriously. What the hell is on my head?"

Tea Party Express, the nation’s largest tea party political action committee, will host the Tea Party response to President Obama’s State of the Union Address directly following the Republican response by Senator Marco Rubio. Senator Rand Paul will deliver the Tea Party response at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. 

Tea Party Express Chairman Amy Kremer said, “We are excited to have Senator Paul deliver the 3rd Tea Party State of the Union response next week. Americans are fed up with Washington politics that fail to address America’s fiscal woes. Tea Party Express has called for reducing the size, cost, and intrusiveness of the federal government, and we have stood strongly for pro-growth policies to get the economy growing and job creation increased. 

“Since the President has been re-elected, the debt has continued to skyrocket and unemployment has ticked up (Both of those are factual inaccurate by the way.), but he has offered no solutions and has shown no leadership. In contrast, Senator Rand Paul has put forth solutions that would spur economic growth and rein in Washington’s out-of-control spending. We are excited that Senator Paul, a conservative leader and strong voice for the Tea Party movement, will be offering our perspective on the state of the union. 

“We are happy to see that the Republicans have selected Tea Party conservative Senator Marco Rubio to deliver their response. Both Senator Rubio and Senator Paul will articulate pro-growth messages that will resonate with the American people” Kremer concluded.

Personally I welcome Rand Paul's contribution to the debate which is to help illustrate how impressive our President is by having somebody insignificant challenge him publicly.

By the way isn't Marco Rubio ALSO a Teabagger? I guess after the GOP cleaned him up and taught him to tie his own shoes he is just not fringe enough to represent people who wear tricorner hats and dangle tea bags in front of their face.

Classy!

I can only hope that THIS speech by "Named after that lady who wrote Atlas Shrugged" Paul will be as entertaining as Michele Bachmann's speech in 2011. (I especially enjoyed how she looked off camera as she delivered it.)

Oh well I am sure that Paul will do a magnificent job, and will know how he did by the sound all across the country of one hand clapping.
