For those who have wondered if the Republicans are planning to use Bill Clinton's scandals against Hillary when she runs in 2016, Rand Paul made it pretty clear they will.

On Sunday morning's Meet the Press, David Gregory asked Paul about the possibility of Hillary Clinton running for president. He also asked about a statement Rand's wife, Kelley, made to Vogue, where she said that Bill Clinton's return to the White House in any capacity should be "complicated" by his affair Monica Lewinsky. 

"The Democrats — one of their big issues is they've concocted this, 'Republicans are committing a war on women,'" Paul replied. "One of the work place laws and rules that I think are good is that bosses shouldn't prey on young interns in their office. I think really the media seems to have given President Clinton a pass on this. He took advantage of a girl that was 20-years-old and an intern in his office. There is no excuse for that and that is predatory behavior." 

When Gregory asked Paul if he thought that Hillary's husband's decision to cheat on her with a much younger employee is something she "should be judged on if she were a candidate in 2016," Paul said "no." But, he added, "This was with regard to the Clintons. It's hard enough to separate one from the other." So, basically, don't blame him if he somehow manages to bring this one up again. 

You know the problem with this is that Paul is not completely wrong about Bill's behavior.

The only question is will it have a negative impact on Hilary's campaign? 

Because besides Benghazi this is about all the Republicans have to work with, so you KNOW they are going to go all out.

    It's old news and besides we know so much more about how Lewinsky went to DC to snag a political "skin", so to speak. She managed to bag the biggest buck in the town and kept her dress to prove it.

      Exactly! @6:48
      Pray tell, who exactly was preyed upon?? Lewinsky was directed by -Paula Jones?- some Repug operative? Who told her to keep the dress with the evidence. Monica was naive but she wasn't taken advantage of by Clinton so much as she was by the Republicans who would stoop to anything to get something dirty on him.

    2. You are so right. Lewinsky's mother bragged about an affair she had with Placido Domingo; they connived how daughter could keep up the tradition.

      BTW. she wasn't 20; she was having sex (about 10 times) with BC beginning when she was 22+ until almost 24.

      Meanwhile, David (Dirty Diapers) Vitter is running for governor of Lousiana. His wife stood by his side on TV when he confessed. She looked like a whipped dog. If the only scandal the repubs. have on Hillary is the Lewinsky affair, then they might as well throw in the towel now. Mrs. Clinton has worked tirelessly for this country. Bill Clinton is loved worldwideHe has worked with charities to raise money, assemble volunteers. Remind me again, WHAT have the Bush family ever done for others? Typical repubs. "Take care of #1" Where was all this slime when Gingrich ran, with wife #3 and her Tiffany credit card?How about womanizer Herman Cain, or even dumb ass Perry? I think the repubs. are TERRIFIED of highly intelligent people, there are none in their party.

    You know, back when Hillary was running for something (can't remember if it was Senate or White House), my MIL made an interesting comment. I don't remember how it came up, but she said she would "never vote for her."

    Now, my MIL is very Catholic and 70 years old. I could guess why she didn't like Hillary. So imagine my surprise when her objections to Hillary were because she stayed with Bill after the infidelity scandal. She lost all respect for the women because the guy was clearly a philanderer and she put with it.

    I never thought people would hold it against Hillary for staying in her marriage, but I suppose there are those who see it as either weakness or craven opportunism. *shrugs*

      @7:43 - it's an idea that has been around before
      the Catholic Church has always recognized divorce as the true evil, and remarriage is just the cherry of adultery on top of the sundae.

      Needless to say, even without legal divorce, society would not be some kind of utopia. People would still violate their marriage vows.

    The American public and more importantly American women have already dealt with this issue. The overwhelming consensus is they stand with Hilary.

    Repubs can try to play this card but Hillary will win the hand. Women in general support Hillary and let bill's many indiscretions go.
    He was tried. Case is over. If some repub wants to haul out a dress with semen on it I say go for it!! They are showing they are living in the past already so more of the same means nothing!

      I don't agree that so many women have cheating husbands and that made them "let it go" but I do believe many are like me and let Hillary deal with her marriage in her own way just as we do with friends.

      I think that whole scandal did make Hillary and bill too more human with imperfections and trials and pain like the rest of us.

      I do remember many of us saying a cheating husband should be dealt with by his wife and no business of ours. Of course his indiscretion was at the White House and with an intern and was beyond stupid but sure it wasn't the first time a sitting president was caught with his pants around his ankles-he just got outed.

    The GOP's Hypocrisy on Privacy

    Birth control and data mining used to be things they believed in, now both are Big Government plots to be stopped.

    I’m sure you chuckled at this weekend development as much as I did: At its winter meeting, the Republican National Committee, , passed a resolution condemning the NSA’s data-mining policy. The language about “unwarranted” government surveillance being an “intrusion on basic human rights” passed by voice vote, with only a few dissenters.

    This is being read in the media as evidence for the party’s continuing turn away from war-mongery, Ari Fleischer-style, “watch what you say and do” Big Brotherism and toward a Pauline (as in Rand) libertarianism. And I wouldn’t deny that there’s something to that. The libertarian streak is very in vogue on the right, and neocons can’t seem to get Americans agitated about anything.

    But let’s not kid ourselves. The passage of this resolution is mostly about the guy in the White House. If you want to try to tell me this was an act of principle by the RNC, then put Mitt Romney in the White House for a moment. Do you think the RNC would have considered such a resolution? Please. Reince Priebus would have had a stroke. He’d have quashed it in minutes. But with Barack Obama in the White House, the rules are different. The RNC passed this resolution to kick a little extra sand in Obama’s face.

    I don’t trust the Republican Party. This goes beyond disagreeing with them on every single policy position they hold. As a party, they’re deceitful, manipulative, and wholly disingenuous. It’s not even a question anymore; it’s verifiable fact. Their brand is badly damaged and is about to become completely unsalvageable.

    ...This is the rot within the Republican Party. Thanks to Karl Rove, the Architect, the GOP abandoned notions of objective reality in an effort to win elections. They’ve latched onto their own created delusion and show no signs of changing. If they can’t effectively message whatever reality they’re trying to create, then they simply change their position to be counter to the opposition. They’re not concerned with what’s actual. It’s about how they can bend actual to their will but their grip is weakening.

    Though cynical and insidious, this strategy has worked so effectively that it won’t be easily abandoned. It created a path to power for Newt Gingrich to become Speaker of the House and propelled George W. Bush to the Oval Office twice. But like all things, this strategy was based on historical/cultural context that’s no longer relevant.

    How desperate are Republicans to solve their problem with women? Desperate enough to argue that there is no War on Women, except for the one that then-President Bill Clinton conducted on intern Monica Lewinsky, and which continues to this day because Hillary Clinton somehow also got blown in the Oval Office, if you really think about it. That’s only a slight paraphrase.

    On Sunday’s Meet the Press, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) was asked about comments his wife made in a Vogue magazine article:

    While her husband jokes that his “gut feeling” that Hillary Clinton will not run for president is a good thing since “all the polls show her trouncing any opponents,” Kelley practically cuts him off to say that Bill Clinton’s relationship with Monica Lewinsky should complicate his return to the White House, even as First Spouse. “I would say his behavior was predatory, offensive to women,” she tells me.

    Host David Gregory asked “Are these issues something that you really think will be fair game and an appropriate part of a campaign, should she be the nominee?”

    Paul decided the best way to push back on the whole War on Women idea was to explain how fair it will be to attack Hillary Clinton based on her husband’s actions 19 years ago. “The Democrats, one of their big issues is they have concocted and said Republicans are committing a war on women,” he told Gregory. “One of the workplace laws and rules that I think are good is that bosses shouldn’t prey on young interns in their office.”

    Paul went on to say that then-President Clinton “took advantage of a girl that was 20 years old and an intern in his office,” calling it “predatory behavior,” and wondering how Democrats “have the gall to stand up and say, ‘Republicans are having a war on women,’” concluding that “yes, I think it’s a factor.”

    He did add that “it’s not Hillary’s fault, but it is a factor in judging Bill Clinton in history. This is in regard to the Clintons. Sometimes it’s hard to separate one from the other.”

    Conservative MSNBC host Joe Scarborough on Monday suggested that possible Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s ability to attack Republicans for anti-women laws — like proposed invasive transvaginal probe abortion laws — had been compromised because her husband had an affair in the 1990s.

    Over the weekend, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) had said that former President Bill Clinton was partially responsible for the so-called “war on women” because of his affair with Monica Lewinsky. The Kentucky Republican with presidential ambitions asserted that it would be difficult for voters not to blame Hillary Clinton for Bill Clinton’s behavior.

    Scarborough, who voted to impeach Bill Clinton, on Monday insisted that he would “never bring that stuff up in a gazillion years.”

    “It was such an ugly chapter in our history,” he explained. “It’s just like the Iraq War in 2003. There are just some things, we fought those battles. Let’s let them go.”

    “That said,” Scarborough continued. “If Hillary Clinton attacks the Republican Party’s handling of women and treatment of women and disrespect for women and suggests they’re misogynists etc., etc., etc., it does seem to be a fair question to ask right now a few years out, does the media have a responsibility to say, ‘Well, let’s see what happened when you were in the White House and how women were treated when you were in the governor’s mansion and the White House?’ Is that fair?”

    “Does this not compromise Hillary Clinton’s ability to bash Republicans as being terrible towards women, misogynists, etc., etc.?”

    MSNBC contributor Mark Halperin agreed that the media had a responsibility to question Hillary Clinton’s ability to protect women’s rights.

    However, MSNBC host Al Sharpton predicted that the strategy would backfire because Republicans would be “saying women are responsible for the behavior of your husband.”

    “I dare the Republicans to take that to her,” Sharpton said. “Because if I’m her, I would dribble, hit the backboard and score a three-pointer from way out. Because she was the wife in this. She was not one I would want to mess with.”

The GOP position on women's issues is certainly going to be an issue in 2016 and any Democratic candidate is sure to bring it up. It's there before us every single day. What Hillary Clinton went through as a wife has nothing to do with forcing women to buy "rape insurance" (MI) or denying single women employment or limiting a woman's right to decide her own health issues.

    If aliens came down from space and tried to understand our 2 parties....it would be a no-brainer. The Dems are for the masses and believe government is a force for good. The GOP stands for the one and government is useful only in the pursuit of greed. The Dems are (more) honest but tend to fall apart when things get rough and do not stand firm on their convictions. The GOP is ruthless, Class A liars in everything and are relentless bullies always standing together. Dems are for equality in all things while the GOP hates anyone not white and heterosexual. Dems have some meetings during the year while the GOP has Fox 24/7 lies, CPAC and a million secret meetings of millionaires...plus ALEC. Dems support reformed healthcare, voting rights, planned parenthood, immigration, free birth control, gay marriage, unemployment insurance, food stamps, affordable public education + college, free preschool, infrastructure spending, job training and abortion. Did I forget anything? The GOP none of the above. 85 people having equal wealth to the rest of the world....I wonder how many of that 85 are republicans?

    Every time I see Rand Paul I think of that SNL skit where they showed his head covered with pubic hair...still makes me laugh. The Dems have a zillion policy things to run on and it would be hard pressed to find anyone in politics with the experience of Hillary...just so happens she is a woman.
    Being a womanizer never stopped a great man from doing great things. Look at what Bill has done after leaving office compared to both Bushes....anything they did do was with Bill. Look at Jimmy Carter's legacy....Dubya paints pictures in the bathtub and rides bikes with all the men he maimed for life (never figured that one out).
    The GOP only cares about the fetus...once the child is born they are on their own. They hate women but love the bible. I think an alien would get a headache trying to reconcile all their hypocrisy....it is quite obvious to most of us.

    GOP In Shambles As Poll Finds Americans View Democrats as More Ethical and Honest


    Despite spending years attacking the character of President Obama and the Democrats, a new Pew Research Center survey found that the American people trust Democrats more than Republicans 41%-31%.

    The Pew Research Center’s annual survey of policy and priorities found that Democrats led Republicans on a wide range of character issues. Democrats had a 25 point lead (52%-27%) on being more willing to work with the other party. Democrats held a 20 point (52%-32%) advantage on the question of who is concerned with the needs of people like me. By a margin of 54%-35%, Republicans were found to be the more extreme party in their positions. Respondents also thought the Republican Party was more influenced by lobbyists than the Democratic Party (47%-30%), but the most telling question was who do people trust to govern ethically and honestly.

    By a margin of 41%-31% those surveyed believed that Democrats govern in a more ethical and honest way than Republicans. This question goes to the heart of why Democrats continue to win elections. A majority of voters don’t trust the Republican Party. They don’t think Republicans will be honest with them. Some of these feelings are no doubt left over from the dishonest Bush administration, but much of the distrust comes from the way Republicans have chosen to govern.

    Republicans have been fundamentally dishonest with the American people. After they took control of the House in 2010, John Boehner said the Republican agenda was all about jobs. He and his caucus then spent years on dozens of attempts to repeal the ACA. Boehner’s Republican House majority hasn’t proposed or passed a single jobs bill. However, they have voted to cut food stamps, energy assistance, aid for veterans, food for senior citizens, unemployment benefits, and almost every other aid program for the poor and middle class that you can think of.

    While cutting programs for the poor and middle class, Republicans have aggressively pushed an agenda of tax cuts and benefits for corporations and the wealthy. This survey reveals that the American people are paying attention to what Republicans have been up to. Republicans can’t disguise their plans to cut taxes for the wealthy as a jobs bill, and expect no one to notice what they are really up to.

    Republicans have shown repeatedly during the Obama presidency that they don’t care about the problems of average Americans. Democrats have taken up the mantle of fighting for everyone that the Republican agenda is harming, and people appear to be appreciating it.

    The Republican Party is in shambles because they are accurately viewed by most Americans as the uncaring party of the rich. Republicans can pay lip service to the middle class and claim they care about poverty, but they aren’t fooling anyone.

    The GOP has been branded as the party of the wealthy few. President Obama’s efforts to reach across the aisle, and fight for the American people are paying off. Obama and the Democrats don’t get credit in the media for what they are doing, but voters understand who is really on their side.

    President Obama has turned the Democratic Party into the party of middle class populism. There is only one party of the people in this country right now, and it isn’t the Koch fueled GOP. President Obama isn’t just setting the Democrats up for victory today. He has successfully exploited the desire of the Republicans to represent only the wealthy few to lay the groundwork for Democratic victories for years to come.

    When the Koch-connected corporations first set their sites on the gold and copper deposits located in Bristol Bay, Alaska, they weren't going to let some jobs or the environment get in their way.

    Years later, thanks to a massive coalition effort, investors in the Pebble Mine project are jumping ship, with another foreign mining company, Rio Tinto, considering divesting from the project, as well.

    We have a chance -- right here, right now -- to stop the mine and save the jobs of the veterans from around the country who travel to Alaska every summer to earn a living in the Bristol Bay fishery. Will you contribute $5 to keep our local television ad featuring Alaska Army veteran Random Reamey on the air?

    This will backfire and only serve to highlight the GOP obsession with wasting taxpayer money and time on stupid moral attack schemes, so they can avoid having espousing any real policies that help people other than the plutocrats who own them. Clinton's popularity went UP during the Lewinsky scandal, as most rational people thought it was idiotic to impeach somebody for lying about a blow job.

      Yeah, this guy continues to make an ass of himself by saying what he really believes (ex., that he knows more about Black history than a a bunch of students at Howard University).

      Is this really the best the Republican Party can do?
      (yes)

      I am constantly amazed at the medical doctors (at least they have the diplomas) who are GOP politicians and who simply despise all women. Half of their patients are women! I think that, from now on, I'll ask any doctor I see for treatment what his/her political alignment is and whether he/she has any personal political aspirations. Just so I'm sure that no crazy teabagger misogynists are among the doctors I see.

      Rand Paul pretends to be a Doctor. He certified himself.

    Okay, so Rand Paul's wife was listed as the vice president of his made-up National Board of Opthalmology, with its headquarters in a post office box in their hometown.
    Clearly, she's as much a fraud as he is.
    We don't want a lying, cheating couple in the White House.
    Kelley Paul went along with the deception and put her name on official documents she knew to be false.

    Nice try, Mister Fancy Pants Librul Alaska blogger!!

    Contrary to what you and your small handful of pathetic deadenders still visiting your defunct blog believe, there is a DIRECT line of heinous DEMOCRATIC PARTY SCANDALS from Teapot Dome to Lewinski to BENGHAZI!!!! to Fast and Flurries!

    Your so-called President Obama is unquestionably the most corrupt foreign-born leader of the free world since Pat Paulsen briefly served as commander In chief due to an unfortunate electoral college calculation error in 1972!!

    Once you see the pattern and realize that Democrats want nothing less than the complete AND total annihilation, also, too, of Amercia you have no choice but to admit that even a TOTAL douchebag like "Ayn" Rand Paul would make a better presdient than Hillary Clinton and her menstrual cramps!!

    Do a little research before you post and GROW UP!!!
    ------------------------
    Oh boy... is my face red....

    Say, Gryphen, could you do me a solid and edit this comment for me? Looks like I screwed up again.... I've just been informed that the Teapot Dome scandal occurred during the Republican Warren G. Harding administration but I already hit Publish and it's too late for me to change anything.

    I totally blame one of my assistants for the screw-up and I have taken full responsibility for the blunder by firing the offending unpaid staffer after publicly humiliating them.in the office and on Facebook.

    At least the rest of my comment is factual.

    Thanks, bro, I owe you one.

    Rand Paul is desperately grasping at the only thing he can against Hillary. Does he or the GOTP actually think that in 2016, voters will care about a scandal that happened 18 years ago? There will be many new voters who were born in 1998. Those young people won't care about a scandal that happened either before or the same year that they were born. And should Hillary not have the right to campaign against the War on Women simply because her husband had an affair? Do the GOTP get a free pass as they wage this constant attack on women just because Bill Clinton had an affair while in the White House? Not to my way of thinking.

      To say nothing of the fact that the 1998 scandal was not about Hillary Clinton at all. I do wish that the media would call these pigs out on this kind of thing.

    Rand Paul didn't speak out against three of his goons when they curb stomped a young woman protester in 2010. Paul showed a complete lack of character by not denouncing that attack so he is not fit to occupy the White House.

    The R's really don't get it. Bill Clinton was sinking in the polls back in his second term when the R's impeached him (while the Senate voted not to remove him). His poll numbers shot up to the mid sixties and they have never come down. I think he is more popular than ever now.

    So, is this the best they can come up with? Please........ Hillary will eat these boys for breakfast. Hillary is not shaking in her boots, but she might have peed her pants from laughing so hard.

    Hillary Clinton does not remember a time in her life when she wasn't the smartest person in the room. Smarter than Bill, and that's a really smart, if reckless fellow. If she runs, and I think she will, there isn't a republican that will want to debate her. The smart people in the party,and there are some,they won't be candidates, realize that the train has jumped the rails due to the teabaggers' influence and that whomever they run can't debate the woman. She's too smart, been around too long and can smell a dope (remember "Turkey!?!?" during the hearings) like Rand Paul a mile away. Christie might stand a better chance, but right now he's trying to stay out of jail. Doesn't matter. The only conservative that could stand across from her and not be made to look like Chester A. Riley is George Will. And he ain't joining up for this dog and pony show. Oughta be pretty rich, I wish Michelle Bachman and her wife Marcus were in the mix this year.....oh well, can't have everything.

    Um.... Gryphen, did you even look closely at the pic? Zoom in! Enhance!

    Can't you see??? That's not curly polyester! That's a nest of Guatemalan skull spiders shortly after the egg sack burst!! Those hatchlings are burrowing into "Ayn" Rand's brain where they will enter a 30 month pupal stage. They relentlessly consume brain tissue until his hollow noggin rings like a cheap Nepalese dinner gong!

    God help us all if he's elected president!! Without a single brain cell in his head, he'd be the second stoopidest president of all time!

      Whew, I'm so glad you cleared that up! I was wondering how many esters gave their lives (Poly means more than one) for his herpes. Knowing they're live Guatemalan skull spiders doing what Guatemalan skull spiders do, and none were injured or killed makes me feel better.

    It was Bill's scandal, and has nothing to do with Hillary. But if it's a republican candidate, Rand would be singing with a chorus of crickets chirping.
