Kidding! I agree with you. He also lost many of his libertarian support when he signed the cotton Iran letter.

Rand ditched foreign policy libertarianisn to cozy up to the fascists, and all he has left is economic anti-government wacko-ism. (Well, almost all. He does have better views than most other Rethugs on criminal justice reform.)


From what the newspapers report, he probably couldn't get his dad's vote:




Ron Paul criticizes Iran position taken by his son, Rand Paul
By Brian M. Rosenthal April 11, 2015

...."I strongly disagree with the motivation of that statement made by so many members of Congress, especially in the Senate," Paul said at a conference on liberty at the University of Texas at Austin, presumably referring to an open letter senators sent to Iranian officials describing any deal not approved by them as informal.

Paul, a longtime Lake Jackson congressman who left office in 2013, said Congress should have a role in reviewing agreements, but he questioned whether the senators really cared about the constitutional questions or just wanted to undermine the deal."They're out to stop peace," he said. "They're terrified that peace might break out."

Paul's son, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who announced his own presidential bid earlier this week, signed the letter and cosponsored a bill to require the Obama administration to seek congressional review. . . .

when you repeatedly use construction adhesive instead of toupee tape. Stuff leaches through the scalp into the skull, oddness ensues...

They're okay. Libertarians, not so much.


The urban dictionary defines a weasel as a “shifty, scheming person that will do whatever they need to to escape whatever they fear in the moment”.

That is Rand Paul in a nutshell.
