...it was strictly based on the words I shared here.

Not a sign-up sheet for the Rand Paul Fan Club. So yes...I am not encouraging anyone to change what they think about him. He's still Rand Paul, he's still going to say and do things that disappoint and anger people.

But in this one little snapshot, I can't argue with what he said. Thanks for framing it as you did. It matches my intention.
