I just checked out his campaign website for his positions on issues... seems like a strong conservative to me, but I do hear rumblings he’s flip-flopped on some stances. Any insights, anyone?
Rand Paul has been accused of flip-flopping on Afghanistan and military tribunals for Terror suspects at Guantanamo, but I think that's less of a "flip-flop" on his part than the fact that Rand Paul has always been a little more hawkish on Afghanistan and Terror suspects than is his dad, Ron Paul.
Their positions are so identical on most other issues, that I think some people believed they were entirely identical -- and so believe that Rand Paul has "flip-flopped" on those issues. Me, I don't think he did flip-flop; I just think Rand Paul, as compared to Ron Paul, was a little more hawkish on Afghanistan and Terror suspects in the first place. But I'm open to correction on that.
