Rand Paul Demands To See “Original Long Form Certificate” Of Trump’s Republican Credentials

Senator draws on farce of birther distraction to make a very serious point

In a cleverly worded dig at the current circus sideshow birther revival, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul today called for Donald Trump to prove he has any Republican credentials whatsoever as his father Congressman Ron Paul prepares to run for the GOP nomination in 2012.

In light of the revelation that Trump has regularly contributed to the campaigns of leading Democrats such as Senate majority leader Harry Reid of Nevada, Paul raised the question, why should Republicans even consider Trump as a potential presidential candidate?

“I’ve come to New Hampshire today because I’m very concerned,” Paul told the Merrimack County Republican Committee in Concord this morning.

“I want to see the original long-form certificate of Donald Trump’s Republican registration.”

“Seriously, don’t you think we need to see that?” Paul said as laughter and applause broke out throughout the room.

“I’m going to believe it when I see his embossed seal to his Republican registration,” Paul added.

“The serious part of what I was saying was that it’s going to be hard for him to explain giving $4,800 to Harry Reid in the last cycle and giving $24,000 to Charlie Rangel,” the Senator later explained, urging party members to look to potential 2012 candidates “who not only talk the talk, but walk the walk.”

Trump has been parading around for weeks now talking about very little other than Barack Obama’s birth certificate, even taking full credit for yesterday’s bizarre decision on behalf of the White House to release another version of Obama’s short form certificate of live birth and have the president address the nation about it.

Congressman Ron Paul, despite his decades of political experience and current positions on multiple House committees, is routinely lumped into the “fringe” category by the corporate media alongside Trump.

While Trump has done nothing other than make a great deal of pointless noise, Ron Paul has appeared on TV and in print practically every day for the past six months urgently addressing the very real issues of a collapsing economy, rampant military spending and deepening involvement in illegal foreign occupations.

Video- Rand Paul: ‘Pentagon thinks it’s too big to audit’; no serious budget cuts proposed in Washington

“We threatened to shut down Washington over nothing, because we’re not cutting spending in any serious way…” that was just one part of Senator Rand Paul’s fiery floor speech blasting both sides of the isle for failing to make a sober effort to operate from a balanced budget.

Paul lashed out at those who’ve bashed the Tea Party over spending issues, claiming that its aims are only ‘good government.’ “You know it’s amazing to me to be lectured to, and hear about how awful the Tea Party is, what the Tea Party represents, from folks who’ve never been to a Tea Party. You know, come on down to a Tea Party, bring your Huey Long rhetoric- a chicken in every pot, a windmill in every… backyard. Bring it on down to the Tea Party; let’s have a discussion. Let’s bring it to the American public. The Tea Party’s been lectured about spending; who among you has voted against an appropriations bill? We haven’t even seen an appropriations bill in this body in over a year; we haven’t seen a budget. We’re spending $2 trillion dollars a year we don’t have, and they’re hear blaming it on the Tea Party. Who’s in charge here? It’s not the Tea Party…”

The Junior Senator also commented that the Pentagon ‘thinks they’re too big to audit,’ referencing the bailout rhetoric about banks ‘too big to fail.’ Federal Reserve records showed, Paul indicated, that the U.S. had been funding Gaddafi only months before it started bombing Libya.
From Campaign for Liberty:

Rand Paul spoke on the Senate floor Thursday to challenge his colleagues to get serious about cutting spending and tackling the debt crisis. He also urged them to trust in the American people’s creativity and innovation instead of government power.

Rand Paul criticizes Senate for not debating Libyan action

After scolding the Senate for failing to debate U.S. military action in Libya, Sen. Rand Paul was rebuffed Tuesday in challenging the president’s authority to act unilaterally on war matters.

“There is no excuse for the Senate not to vote on going to war before we go to war,” the Kentucky freshman Republican said in remarks on the Senate floor.
Paul has been highly critical of President Barack Obama’s decision last month to use U.S. warplanes as part of an allied operation enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya and assisting Libyan rebels.
