Rand Paul OOPS: "It's not JUST me pandering to coal; people like having the flat land"

by MinistryOfTruth

Rand Paul, in another OOPS, D'OH! (gotcha, wink ;) moment, on mountaintop removal mining in Appalachia and the coal industry. Watch Paul prove why libertarians are useful corporate tools.

I don’t think anybody's going to be missing a hill or two here and there.

And some people like having the flat land. Some of it apparently has become quite valuable when it's become flattened. And I think they do a good job at reclaiming the land, and you know, adding back in topsoil, bringing in help. So the bottom line is, it's not just me pandering to coal. It's me believing in private property.

  Rand Paul is an intellectual high priced escort for his Big Business donors. He's not JUST pandering for coal. He'll pander for any special interest who wants to get lucky and have one more Senate vote in their pockets.
