He won't even answer questions about it. This guy is a very shady character. He lies and then refuses to answer questions about it.

You CRAZY birthers are certainly persistent, even though it has been proven time and time again. He answered the question with a birth certificate, moron.

Does that mean he's been lying to all of his patients in Bowling Green? Hmmm. Seems pretty underhanded to me.

No it does not. He is Board certified by a different board and he was certified by the Board the curious journal is writing about. He did not renew his membership as a matter of principle because of the rules of that board which discriminated against younger doctors.

He doesn't like THAT board, so daddy bought him a new one. The old board doesn't recognize the new board, so there must be a conspiracy by the left.
Why won't they just let him get elected instead of asking all those pesky questions? He seems really intelligent until he opens his mouth. Then he spews crap that teabaggers can't even justify.

little paul, board certified,(not that board , but a board that he created) witch eye doctor. Coming to take our country BACKWARD!

More info on organization:"

Paul has been certified through the National Board of Ophthalmology since 2005. He is listed as the group's president; his wife, Kelley, is listed as vice president; and his father-in-law is listed as secretary. Paul and his relatives receive no salaries from the organization, his campaign said."

Really easy to get re-certified under that leadership, eh?

His father-in-law is listed as the secretary for Rand's "organization", but "can't tell you what the organization does."

Or could it be the same open and honest President Obama who promised an open and honest govt and then preceded to buy off politicians who run against his cronies. Or is it the same Obama who said we will show debates on C-Span and post bills on line. Or the same Obama who promised to have US troops out of Iran andd Gitmo closed, but didnt do it. Or the same Obama who says the health care bill is great for all but now we see that Businesses are realizing that they can save money by not offering insurance and paying the govt fine and still come out better? I believe Obama is a citizen of the United States and the birth certificate thing is nuts, but there is enough to go around that isnt on the up and up.

Yes it seems that the C-J in their hatred of Paul has unearthed another tidbit about him that really amounts to nothing. No Dr. Paul is not on the board they say, but that hasnt detered two hospitals in Bowling Green from allowing him doctors privlages. And of course that dosent mean he isnt a great eye surgeon( from reputation of course) But i guess in this day and age every t must be crossed and each i dotted or the Obama media machine will stop at nothing.

I can now see why the Libs are so messed up. They are more worried about if someone is on a board than passing a balanced budget and lowering taxes!

So, what OTHER "doctors", besides Rand Paul himself, are certified by the National Board of Ophthalmology?

From his Articles of Incorporation:
"The object and purpose of the corporation shall be to provide information to the public concerning physicians with exemplary qualifications in the medical specialty of ophthalmology."

http://apps.sos.ky.gov/ImageWebViewer/ (S(qfpf2vnpya4snp3ihi2dtu45))/ OBDBDisplayImage.aspx?id=43596 50

Where are those public records? Why does he wish not to talk about his "association"? If it's truly a legit business, the man gets lots of free publicity. What's he hiding?
