Bill Clinton’s sex life is still ratings gold for wingnuts. Rand Paul proved that yet again winning this year’s CPAC (Conference of Perpetually Angry Crazebags) straw poll in commanding fashion.
One day after riveting a packed convention ballroom, tea party darling Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) topped the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference straw poll, his second consecutive victory in the conservative confab’s contest.
Paul won 31 percent of the vote (compared with the 25 percent he won last year), beating a crowded field of more than two dozen names, including a number of potential 2016 GOP presidential contenders. He crushed second-place finisher Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), who came in with 11 percent.
Rounding out of the top finishers in the poll, which was voted on by 2,459 CPAC attendees, were former neurosurgen Ben Carson (9 percent) and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (8 percent).
In addition to being known for his willingness to continually bring up Bill Clinton, Rand Paul is know for chronic plagiarism.
