We have noticed that more and more often politicians use the plural personal pronoun (us, we, our…”We thank the people of Iowa for their support….”). The goal is to give the impression 1) he/she isn’t completely self-centered, and 2) he/she is leading a movement and you will be joining a cast of millions by lending your support. Fine. But we thought that Rand Paul took it a little too far on yesterday’s “Meet the Press” when Chuck Todd thanked him for coming on the program and Sen. Paul responded, “Thanks for having us.”
