Baby Paul's obligatory "I wanna be President so I wrote a book" book is out. Huzzah! In it, he brands himself as a "crunchy treehugger" who says "the Republican party sucks."

He's really hoping that will appeal to college students so he can peel a few away, I suppose, but first he'd like to destroy those campuses they all attend and rid them of stinky liberals before indoctrinating them into the Cult of Koch.

Memo to Rand: It won't work. College kids are smarter than you think.

In a new book released on Tuesday, Paul said he composts and believes in clean air and clean water. Paul notes that he has planted giant sequoias in his yard and repurposed old trees used for a fort to build compost bins. "None of this is at odds with wanting out government to be smaller, with wanting our regulatory bodies to protect both our land and water," Paul wrote in his third book, "Taking a Stand: Moving beyond partisan politics to unite America." Paul also details his history planting trees and flowers at his house in Bowling Green, Kentucky and his childhood home in Lake Jackson, Texas. Some trees he has planted in Bowling Green are now 40-feet tall, according to the candidate. "I'm a crunchy conservative and a tree hugger and proud of it," Paul writes.



Just you wait, stinky libs, until one of those pipelines comes before President Paul's administration. Let's see how crunchy he would be then.

Just for giggles, here's what he has to say about race relations.

The Kentucky senator wrote that the tension he has tried to soothe between the GOP and people of color is deep and complicated, but ultimately salvageable. That is if Republicans recognize that, admit it and make this minority outreach a priority. "My Republican Party, the Republican Party I hope to lead to the White House, is willing to change," Paul wrote in his third book, Paul puts the blame on the Republican Party's image, which he says is "broken" and scares away minority voters even though they should be attracted to the GOP. "Right now, the Republican brand sucks. I promised Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, that I would stop saying the GOP sucks, and I will (except for this last time)," Paul writes. "I believe the Republican Party and minorities have common ground."

...says the man who believes the Civil Rights Act was a mistake.

Every time I think Republicans have reached the cynicism saturation point, they prove me wrong. Just these few excerpts prove their craven need to lie, cheat and steal to capture power in this country.
