...Rand Paul testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday, arguing against mandatory minimum sentencing.  He said the war on drugs has disproportionately affected minorities to the point that fully one-third of African American males are prohibited from voting.  Imagine that, a Republican who wants MORE African Americans to vote!  He went so far as to cite an ACLU report.  That's heresy!

Sen. Paul deviated from his prepared statement to say:

"Imagine this, and I'm glad the President has such great compassion because he's admitted, like a lot of other individuals who are now elected to office, that at one time he made mistakes as a youth.  And I think - what a tragedy it would have been had he gone to prison.  What a tragedy it would have been if America wouldn't have gotten to see Barack Obama as a leader."

I'm sure Canadian-born Sen. Rafael Cruz has taken note of Paul's words and is already preparing an attack ad.
