I like Rand Paul. He’s trustworthy.

Trustworthy? Really?! Both Ron and Rand are solid Libertarians and stand by the Libertarian Party platform. Yet, they claim to be Republicans and run as GOP candidates, accepting GOP money in support. This is dishonest, poor character. How can you say that someone who lies about his affiliation is trustworthy?

They are both carpetbaggers and originally from Connecticut. In fact, Rand Paul lived in Ohio adjacent to Kentucky and somehow managed to establish residency in time to run for the Senate. These guys are fishy at best, damaging at worst and their libertarian ideology always benefits Dems rather than Republicans.

Well, to me, Rand is not his dad or you could say, is like his dad before his dad had his brain eaten by old age and the lastest model of amoral aggressive social liberatism.

But, I tell you, with every one of these politicans, no matter what they call themelves, I watch what they do - less than follow what they say. So far, so good with Rand who is not his dad.

But you are welcome to your opinion. If, however, you wanted to convience me to your point of view, you would have to do more than a smear saying he is his dad or lived in Connecticut with no data to back it up on his policy statements and actions.

I would be grateful for a “heads up” like that. I am not a worshiper of any man or woman.

You’re misinformed, at least as far as wher they have lived. Ron Paul is from Pennsylvania, and never once lived in Connecticut. Rand Paul has lived in Bowling Greene for years and has never lived in Ohio.

As far as libertarian ideology goes, I think you are right. I do not believe Rand to be a libertarian ideologue. I think he is a conservative with a libertarian streak, whereas his father is a libertarian ideologue.
