Interesting family dynamics . . . . . . . . (Ron & Rand):

AUSTIN - Well, this could make for an awkward conversation at Thanksgiving dinner. Former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul on Saturday dismissed as a "joke" the letter that U.S. senators of his party sent to Iran officials to assert their power in a potential deal over the Middle East country's nuclear capabilities.

"They're out to stop peace," Paul said at a conference at the University of Texas, which also featured journalists Glenn Greenwald and Radley Balko. "They're terrified that peace might break out."

Paul's son, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who announced how own presidential bid earlier this week, signed the letter. . . . . .



Much has been made of the relationship between the Pauls ahead of the election, with the general narrative being the candidate needs to maintain his dad's base while also reaching out to more "mainstream" voters....Dondero added that the topic frequently comes up during Thanksgiving dinner. "The rumor is that they sit there throwing turkey legs at each other, and it wouldn't surprise me," he said.....

So just how in the world do you:

(1) assure your dad's antiwar libertarian friends that you're one of them, &
(2) persuade those "mainstream" Republican neocon fascists that you're their guy, &
(3) convince your dad that you're not a total phony, &
(4) sleep with yourself at night?
