Anyone’s focus on Rand Paul as if he’s a conservative would be ill-advised if it weren’t just knee-jerk in the first place. He’s just another paleolib like his father, and has no conservative positions about anything, because he’s a weathervane.

I don't know - I'm not sure he's his dad and I don't even think Ron Paul was a "weather vane." Dang, man, the guy was often the only "nay" on a lot of bills. He was goofy on foreign policy but spot on about he economy and seemed to understand monetary policy like few do. Hopefully Rand is not as koo-koo about foreign policy but he does seems to understand and value free markets and less government.

By far the biggest problem we have in this country is big government. It far overshadows any other problem we have and threatens to swallow up our freedoms and way of life. Those that truly believe in cutting government and taxes are what we need more than anything else even if they're not "purely" in line with less important matters.
