Kentucky
Senate candidate Rand Paul made an impassioned speech this weekend
slamming the actions of the Obama administration for continuing
a big government agenda at the expense of the interests of the
American people.
Paul was on the campaign trail in Kentucky, speaking at a coal
appreciation event in Knott County.
Paul, an advocate for more limited government, suggested the
need for a broad review of coal regulations to determine what's
working, reports
the AP.
"We have a president who is forcing the EPA down our throats,"
Paul continued. "Even without changing the rules, the EPA
is stifling the permit process, and people (are) out of work
here because of the president and his policies."
"With all due respect, Mr. President, you're wrong, and
you need to stay out of Kentucky affairs. And you need to keep
the EPA out of our affairs because we need jobs, and we're not
going to get jobs with a busybody EPA that's in our way."
Paul urged.
The Tea Party favourite candidate vowed to defend the way of
life of coal workers and their families, adding that oversight
and regulation of the coal industry should be more locally rather
than federally managed.
The Kentucky candidate is strongly against a federally enforced
cap and trade scheme, which he has noted would punish the coal
industry and cause electricity prices to rise.
Paul took time after his speech to further explain his position
on the EPA and coal production to the Coal Fed Families organization.
The hoax was unraveled when the woman later
admitted to the Washington Post that she was not
kidnapped, she was not forced drugged, and that “the whole
thing has been blown out of proportion” because she willingly
went along with the prank, which on the face of it is mild tomfoolery
when measured against similar college hazing pranks performed
today.
Instead of letting it go, the media spin machine then turned
to claims that a teenage Rand Paul had jokingly told a college
friend 30 years ago to “worship the Aqua Buddha,”
- an issue of vital national importance as America enters a
third great depression.
