Rand Paul and Ron Paul on compromise
Rand Paul and Ron Paul are questioned by Anderson Cooper about congress and compromise.
Ron Paul “they compromise on the welfare state, they compromise on the warfare state, they compromise endorsing the monetary system”
Rand Paul “we are compromising, but we are compromising for more spending”
Congress should be willing to compromise on what gets cut from the budget, but cutting the budget should not be compromised.

Would a Politician Mind Being Slimed?

On You Can’t do That on Television, slime was poured whenever someone said, “I don’t know.”
Politicians have no qualms about modifying citizens’ behavior, so it would only be fair to treat them likewise. There should be a political talk show along these same lines as YCDTOTV, but with these rules for when the slime flows:
- Accuse opponents of being hypocrites.
- Ignores questions to repeat the same talking points they’ve already spouted.
- Make appeals to popularity.
- Villainize those with differing opinions.
- Preach about being a better parent, citizen, student, or spouse.
Saying, “I don’t know” would be perfectly safe on the show, because it’s refreshing when politicians admit they don’t have an answer for everything.
