Does Rand Paul want us to convince our neighbors without the force of law to abide by contract law, property rights laws and those particularly pernicious laws we no deem as criminal?
Mr. Paul seems to be unaware that new toilets cost no more than old toilets.
Were the jet stream toilets at Rand’s house designed by NASA engineers?
I can’t even visualize the fecal matter that necessitates Rand madly flushing 10 times.
@crh97229 Oooh.. Look everybody.. Rand got under an Obama supporting socialitst's skin so he/she posted like crazy over and over. Here's a hint crh97229 MOST of AMERICA agrees with Rand on this issue. Go get back in the OCW line.
“Appalling, hypocritical, troubling, busybody, insulting.” He is so sensitive. Maybe he is constipated because of his hatred of socialist, nanny toilets.
Rand Paul wants all conservation measures to be voluntary. Why not make traffic laws voluntary? Why not make product safety standards voluntary? Why not make building codes voluntary?
“In America, we believe in trying to convince our neighbors, but not trying to convince them through the force of law.”
He lectures, “you prevent people from making things that people want.”
Do people want electronic products that are vastly more expensive to operate?
I must mention that Mr. Paul is sadly unaware that he can purchase and re-install any type of toilet he wants.
A licensed plumber cannot legally install it. But since Rand has such scorn for government licensing boards (like for his specialty, Opthamology) he could hire an unlicensed tradesman, or praise Ayn Rand, he can install it himself.
What is best for national security in energy policy, what is best for the country in limited water resources, what is best for the economy in producing innovative 21st century products does matter to the whimpering Mr. Paul.
“Frankly, my toilets don’t work in my house,” sobs Rand, “and I blame you (Ms. Hogan) and people like you…..I find it insulting.”
With his millions, can’t Mr. Paul afford a reliable plumber or perhaps an effective stool softener?
We can't tell them not to murder their unborn children. Nor can we tell them not push homosexuality on public school children. But they can FORCE us to use the light-bulbs and toilets that THEY use.
And our founding fathers didn't bow to a tyrant who didn't allow the colonists to directly trade with one another. Why are we?
We have a right to make products in America and to sell them here. The government has no right to outlaw our products.

@MThompson237 oh, you are important, with your divine powers to decide what is best for millions of people you don't know and ability to dodge every single point anyone makes.
The Bush tax cuts were extended late last year. The Teapublicans took over the the Congress in January. Where are the jobs? Revenue bills typically are the responsibilty of the House. So tell me, what have the Teapublicans done since taking office?
The Teapublicans, in so far as they are not just neocons frauds (and thus just as bad as democrats), have stopped democrats from spending even more money they either stole from the taxpayers or printed through the counterfeiting FED. That's what they did.
Where are the jobs? Let Democrats get out the fucking way with their taxes and regulations and spending so employers are willing to take risks by HIRING. Until then, stop whining.
@gcsecsi - You may not need the government to provide you with health care, but most seniors in this country do. Remember, those people on Medicare paid payroll taxes (not income taxes) for 40 years. We paid for it. Now, tell me one private insurance company who would provide health insurance to those over 65 at an affordable cost. Just one. The answer is none. They are in business to make a profit. If you think that the middle class and below can obtain insurance after 65, you are very naive.
If you paid for it, then where is the money? Go complain to the political hacks who flushed all the money you paid down the toilet. Let THEM pay it, instead of the rest of the tax payers, or forcing other tax payers to accept the totalitarian bureaucracy foisted on the medical field through Obamacare.
President George W. Bush signed the 822-page bill into law raising auto fuel efficiency standards 40 percent, and bans the incandescent light bulb by 2014 after it was sent up Pennsylvania Avenue in a Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle. The House passed the bill by a 314-100 vote after approval by the Senate.
@gcsecsi - WOW! You just help relieve one of my greatest concerns. I was losing sleep over golf courses not getting their proper hydration. Poor rich people - having to play golf on a "brown" instead of a "green". Green money and golf greens - the only green the the neocons are worried about.
@MThompson237 "I would like to choose to buy products made in America, but Teabagger Paul and his friends have sent all the manufacturers overseas."
GE had to close its plant in WV that manufactured incandescent light bulbs so that they could manufacture the "new" CFLs in China. It is your liberal douchebags that are shipping jobs overseas.
@MThompson237 "so China is the only place than can manufacture CFLs? Are you saying the people in WV are too stupid to manufacture the CFLs?"
Nope. The environmental regulations in China are less restrictive (CFLs contain toxic chemicals), and the taxes are lower. There was nothing wrong with incandescent to begin with. As a personal protest, I will have been burning candles and kerosene lamps. How is that for the environment? Are you going to ban them next?
@mikemat3307 - CFLs are the same as the fluorescent lights we have been manufacturing and using in the country for years. They all contain mercury. Most industries use to use them extensively before halogen came along. Your rich Corporations moved the jobs overseas to take of advantage of the slave labor. CFLs use 1/5 the power of an incandescent light bulb and last much longer. No one is making anyone buy a CFL. The regulations only put a requirement on the amount of power used by each bulb
Paul is so FULL of himself, he would probably plug up a 1950 model toilet that used 7 gal of water per flush vs. the 1.6 gal required today. Some manufacturers have even gone one better by producing a high performance 1.3 gal/flush model. Wealthy people like Paul have their own "entitlement" program. It's called "I'm rich and I can use all the natural resources I want - in your face!"
@MThompson237 it's not like people used to smuggle in toilets from Canada just to get ones that work. If someone wants a working toilet, why the fuck shouldn't they be allowed to have one? You think you have some god given right to make decisions for other people?
I guess Rand Paul thinks we should have the choice to buy a new car without seat belts or air bags.
In Europe, governments regulate the health care industry and we live longer (by national average) and have lower infant mortality rates, all because the government regulates the industry. (If you don't believe that last statement simply go to the CIA World Factbook and compare countries.
@Houshalter , I watched that video and Rand Paul would seem be against phasing out the old fashioned light bulb, you know, the ones that generate heat (unnecessarily) as well as light. For the first time in our history we can provide light without heat, we can lower our energy usage, and for Paul that's an issue of choice? Give me a break, this is not about personal choice.
For what's it worth I have absolutely no problems with my modern toilets. Perhaps Paul should buy a European brand.
@Houshalter - As long as you certify that you will be the only person to ever occupy that car, go for it. But I think most people would choose to haul their loved ones in a car equipped with seat belts and air bags. Children have no choice - they depend on their parents or relatives to keep them safe. Just because you choose to show disregard for your safety does not mean you should force it on everyone else. Your kids safety and health - PRICELESS.
@Houshalter - without a requirement for seat belts, the auto manufacturers would have never provided them. So you would not have had a choice. The fight over getting the auto industry to install seat belts was loud and angry. How would you protect kids, who have no voice or choice, against an irresponsible parent? And we know they exist extensively in this country.
@MThompson237 because there was no demand for them. A lot of people still don't want them, and that's their choice. You can't legislate your personal preferences on the rest of society.
Paul's intellectual argument against certain aspects of the 1964 Civil Rights bill that became something of a public embarrassment for him . He thinks any private business such as Burger King or Taco Bell should be allowed to refuse to serve Black people or any other race or religion.
@cheerdiver - guess you have never lived in the South where Klan members stand at the intersections passing out their hate and filth - so yes, if you live in Alabama you can go to to your favorite fat food joint all decked out in your Sunday best white robe - hood and all. I'm not making a point - I'm stating a fact.
@mikemat3307 Paul is the one who is deflecting the issue at hand - hope you watched the unedited version. This was a hearing on Energy and he had to bring up Pro-Choice.
@MThompson237 The argument Dr Paul presented was not one for or against abortion. The argument he made was for consumer choice. That is the issue. He very eloquently stated that consumers should have a choice. Do you agree or disagree with that position?
@mikemat3307 - Teabagger Paul DID insert abortion into the issue. Shameful. To compare a woman's right to choose with his right to choose a toilet is disgraceful and brings into question his intelligence. Consumers in the US have more choices than most people in the world. We, the people, set safety, health and environmental standards that is based on the best choice for the people. I cannot choose gasoline with lead even though my car would run better on it.
@MThompson237 Your knowledge of economics is almost as bad as your knowledge of auto mechanics. Leaded gasoline was used to prevent wear between valves and valve seats, not to improve performance. You are probably the type of person that buys high octane gasoline for a car that has an 8.5:1 compression ratio thinking it will make your engine run better. My old '63 Riviera had a 10.25:1 compression ratio and I had to buy high octane fuel to prevent knocks, or I had to retard the ignition timing.
@mikemat3307 - Sure would not let you work on my truck. There were several reasons for adding lead to gasoline. First, lead improved the way that gasoline burned. Second, it reduced or eliminated the "knocking" sound caused by premature ignition in high-performance large engines and in smaller, high-compression engines.
@MThompson237 Nope. Octane levels prevent knocks. Octane level, compression ratio, and ignition timing determine if an engine will knock. Leaded fuel was meant to lubricate the valves. If you get a hold of an older Chevy engine engine, you had better replace the valve seats with hardened valve seats, or add an alternative lead additive to every tank of gas.
@mikemat3307 - I am right on the use of lead in gas. Lead did provide some lubrication, which prevented the close-fitting parts of the engine from chafing against one another. But the main purpose was, first, to improve the way that gasoline burned. Second, it reduced or eliminated the "knocking" sound caused by premature ignition in high-performance large engines and in smaller, high-compression engines.
@MThompson237 "I only put high octane gas in my Harley and BMW motorcycles"
Why? Do they have high compression ratios? An idiot friend of mine bought an engine that was used in a dragster that had a 12:1 compression ratio and put it in his van . He had to use aviation fuel.
@MThompson237 Choice is choice. Unfortunately, I disagree with Paul's position on abortion. I am pro-choice on EVERYTHING. The consumer is king. The customer is always right. Just who in the Hell do you and your liberal friends think you are telling me what I can or can not buy?
In an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal this week, Paul emphatically stated his desire to cut "wasteful spending" at the Pentagon. "Since 2001, our annual defense budget has increased nearly 120%" writes Paul. "Even subtracting the costs of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, spending is up 67%. These levels of spending are unjustifiable and unsustainable."
@MThompson237 im fairly certain he is not pro-life on a federal level. theres a big difference there, one regarding the constitution. you should get some of your facts straight before you start bashing your intellectual superiors.
Paul's anti-abortion stance, unlike his father's, goes beyond overturning Roe v. Wade and letting the states decide the issue. The younger Paul, who describes himself as "100% pro life," says "abortion is taking the life of an innocent human being," "life begins at conception," and "it is the duty of our government to protect this life."
@jasonkops Toward that end, he supports "any and all legislation that would end abortion or lead us in the direction of ending abortion," including "a Human Life Amendment and a Life at Conception Act as federal solutions to the abortion issue."
Cancer removal of your tumor allows cells to grow, unchecked, presence of the primary tumor produces factors that restrict growth of cancer elsewhere. Yet oncologists don't tell you before they wheel you into the operating room?•despite being a $100-billion-a-year business, chemotherapy is a racket. Only three types of cancer respond to chemo: testicular cancer, some lymphomas, and leukemias. Chemotherapy speeds up the progress of liver cancer.

LOL..."I can find you a toilet that works..." sure lady, suuuure...i bet your toilet is like a hundred years old and is infested with roaches and has to be pumped a few times before it halways flushes your waste down...
If they build a better mousetrap, why not benefit from technology vs. resisting. In 16 years, as we renovated our home, there is nothing that I felt forced to purchase...from the bamboo floors and low odor paint to the new washer and dryer that truly have paid for themselves! And frankly, I like the fact that I don't have to change my technologically advanced lightbulbs every 3 months!
Sorry, but I find this whole thing STUPID to whine about freedom of choice in light bulbs and toilets when the United States is about to default on our debts. We don't have any jobs. The economy stinks. Would you go lick some lead paint? OF COURSE NOT! That was removed from the market after some "busy bodies" found it to be unsafe. This whole light bulb issue was settled after a lengthy debate over 8 years ago so why is it being debated again and how much tax payer $ was wasted on this debate?
@Munch23082 You totally miss the point. You talk about jobs? we cannot manufacture because
over regulation and laws. Do you not know enire industries have vanished and along with millions of jobs
and you would say pour more gas on the fire!. Have you just become so complacent? when will enough be enough for you? What other industry must vanish before many on the left wake up??
Next industry to be killed will be energy companies across the USA... EPA and BO are already purposely planning its extermination. Do you think that will make more jobs.wach out because the pendulum has not finish swinging back away from the left.
@Munch23082 You are complaining about the "debt crisis" which is caused by not enough taxpayers and agencies that are running jobs overseas plus out of control government agencies writing regulations that congress never approved. GE closed a light bulb plant here and is importing curly bulbs from China. The cost for companies to comply with all this silliness is staggering, and when costs go up, employees lose jobs because products become less affordable to the public. Economics 101.
The people will make the right choices when they are well educated, not brainwashed as in our current national education system. Give people the truth, the facts, and let them decide. Bad products will not sell and good products will prosper. Good decisions will be made. First we need to get the education fixed, the dumbing down in our schools will lead to the countries ultimate failure,,,oh, it's already happening.
If they built the asbestos all the way to the top of the WTC, they'd still be standing. AND wouldn't have spread their residue all over lower manhattan.
As someone who has toilets installed on a regular basis for our customers and as a consumer, myself - i have to agree - you spend more money flushing the so called "water saver" toilets because you have to repeatedly flush them for them to actually work - EVERY time you use them! How in world does this equate to "saving money" or saving our natural resources? I cannot count the number of complaints I have received due to this problem!
Do you think he favors medical marijuana? Do you think he favors the "voluntary way" about gay marriage? He only seems to care about his own money. He resents being forced to behave responsibly because he would rather pretend that God made a world of infinite resources and saving energy is stupid. He can think that if he wants, but he cannot behave that way because we do not have infinite resources and it's the government's responsibility to remove that choice for him. He's an idiot.
@d723 : "Behave responsibly"??? You are basing your comments on the ASSUMPTION that you know better than everybody else what is best for them. You are the problem, not the solution. Take your communist views and get out of America, because We, the People are getting tired of your elitist crap and we don't want you in our country.
@d723 Have you looked? Rand Paul follows in his father's footsteps in a lot of ways. I'm sure he's for deregulation of ALL those things.
The thing about finite resources is that the government doesn't OWN them. People do. And if they want to keep being able to sell some, they'll have to raise the prices on them. Do you think that might solve the problem? Supply and demand isn't as difficult as a professional economist would like you to believe.
Remember this is the same government that back in the early 70's gave us the Energy Commission to help us reduce the need on foreign oil. Back then we were only about 20% dependant upon foreign oil and look at us today. We are nearly close to 70% dependant. Let's not forget that during these years the Energy Commission grew in size that would make your head spin too, and yes it is the Democrats that did this to us.
Do you really think this is about toilets and light bulbs? If so, please try to bend your brain a little more. First of all, those of us (the numbers are growing rapidly) who agree with Rand Paul are not anti-conservation and anti-ecology stupid people.
This is not about toilets and light bulbs. It is about a bureaucracy that is out of control, freedom of choice and BUSY BODIES. This government thinks we are too stupid to make the right choices. We are not, and neither is Rand Paul
@jerry22144 You are part of the problem, maybe if you quit using your fingers and actualy used a toilet you might understand what he is trying to explain!! Inbicil!!

Mr. Paul’s final words will certainly be long remembered in the halls, or at least the bathrooms, of Congress:

Thousands of dollars to go back and add some kind of jet streams in my..we don’t even save money. We flush ‘em ten times.”

The Bush tax cuts were extended late last year. The Teapublicans took over the the Congress in January. Where are the jobs? Revenue bills typically are the responsibilty of the House. So tell me, what have the Teapublicans done since taking office?

@MThompson237
The Teapublicans, in so far as they are not just neocons frauds (and thus just as bad as democrats), have stopped democrats from spending even more money they either stole from the taxpayers or printed through the counterfeiting FED. That's what they did.
Where are the jobs? Let Democrats get out the fucking way with their taxes and regulations and spending so employers are willing to take risks by HIRING. Until then, stop whining.

@gcsecsi - You may not need the government to provide you with health care, but most seniors in this country do. Remember, those people on Medicare paid payroll taxes (not income taxes) for 40 years. We paid for it. Now, tell me one private insurance company who would provide health insurance to those over 65 at an affordable cost. Just one. The answer is none. They are in business to make a profit. If you think that the middle class and below can obtain insurance after 65, you are very naive.

Nope. The environmental regulations in China are less restrictive (CFLs contain toxic chemicals), and the taxes are lower. There was nothing wrong with incandescent to begin with. As a personal protest, I will have been burning candles and kerosene lamps. How is that for the environment? Are you going to ban them next?

@mikemat3307 - CFLs are the same as the fluorescent lights we have been manufacturing and using in the country for years. They all contain mercury. Most industries use to use them extensively before halogen came along. Your rich Corporations moved the jobs overseas to take of advantage of the slave labor. CFLs use 1/5 the power of an incandescent light bulb and last much longer. No one is making anyone buy a CFL. The regulations only put a requirement on the amount of power used by each bulb

@mikemat3307 - Teabagger Paul DID insert abortion into the issue. Shameful.

We, the people, set safety, health and environmental standards that is based on the best choice for the people. I cannot choose gasoline with lead even though my car would run better on it.
MThompson237 6 months ago
@MThompson237 Your knowledge of economics is almost as bad as your knowledge of auto mechanics. Leaded gasoline was used to prevent wear between valves and valve seats, not to improve performance. You are probably the type of person that buys high octane gasoline for a car that has an 8.5:1 compression ratio thinking it will make your engine run better. My old '63 Riviera had a 10.25:1 compression ratio and I had to buy high octane fuel to prevent knocks, or I had to retard the ignition timing.
mikemat3307 6 months ago
@mikemat3307 - Sure would not let you work on my truck. There were several reasons for adding lead to gasoline. First, lead improved the way that gasoline burned. Second, it reduced or eliminated the "knocking" sound caused by premature ignition in high-performance large engines and in smaller, high-compression engines.
MThompson237 6 months ago
@MThompson237 Nope. Octane levels prevent knocks. Octane level, compression ratio, and ignition timing determine if an engine will knock. Leaded fuel was meant to lubricate the valves. If you get a hold of an older Chevy engine engine, you had better replace the valve seats with hardened valve seats, or add an alternative lead additive to every tank of gas.

@mikemat3307 - I am right on the use of lead in gas. Lead did provide some lubrication, which prevented the close-fitting parts of the engine from chafing against one another.

Second, it reduced or eliminated the "knocking" sound caused by premature ignition in high-performance large engines and in smaller, high-compression engines.

In an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal this week, Paul emphatically stated his desire to cut "wasteful spending" at the Pentagon. "Since 2001, our annual defense budget has increased nearly 120%" writes Paul. "Even subtracting the costs of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, spending is up 67%. These levels of spending are unjustifiable and unsustainable."

Paul's anti-abortion stance, unlike his father's, goes beyond overturning Roe v. Wade and letting the states decide the issue.
