Bill Press is a Democratic Party operative. He’s as partisan as they come.<\/p>\n

Thus, it is with keen interest that I share this Facebook post that Press put out there.<\/p>\n

***<\/em><\/p>\n

Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have a man crush on Rand Paul.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s enough to drive me to confession: Every day I find myself agreeing more and more with the Libertarian from Kentucky. He may be running for president as a Republican, but he says some things that any liberal Democrat could support.<\/em><\/p>\n

Who\u2019s the leading champion to shut down NSA\u2019s vast phone spying operation? Rand Paul!<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Who blames Republican hawks, not Barack Obama, for the Iraq War and the eventual rise of ISIS? Rand Paul!<\/em><\/p>\n

On the environment, Rand Paul says: \u201cYou\u2019ll find I\u2019m a tree hugger, literally\u2026I compost.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

On Ferguson, Missouri, Rand Paul said: \u201cThe police department showed up in grear more fitting for Fallujah or Kandahar.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

And on the Republican Party, Rand Paul says: \u201cRight now, the Republican brand sucks.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

No wonder I have such a man crush on Rand Paul. But I\u2019d feel a lot less guilty \u2013 if he\u2019d just run as a Democrat!<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s rather weird, but I am feeling the same kind of “man crush” myself about Sen. Paul.<\/p>\n

However, I’m not a paid partisan hack. I’m just a guy out here flapping my proverbial jaws about politics and other things.<\/p>\n

Bill Press is finding himself being drawn into saying nice things\u00a0about a Republican against his partisan loyalties,\u00a0given that he works for Democrats, who pay him real American money to offer them political advice.<\/p>\n

Therefore, I am thinking he needs\u00a0an intervention.<\/p>\n

Am I likely to vote for Paul should he obtain the GOP presidential nomination? Probably not.<\/p>\n

Then again …<\/p>\n
