Ron Paul, libertarian hero, three-time presidential candidate and father of senator and presidential candidate Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said that his record will only help his son, who is currently running for president himself.
"It probably helps more than it hurts," the former Texas congressman said on Ora TV's "PoliticKING," when asked whether his particular brand of politics would "hurt or help" Rand Paul.
The elder Paul also said he believes his son has had a better time than he did overcoming an independent-minded bent, and that he has worked well within the establishment, unlike his father.
"McConnell has endorsed him for the presidency, so I would say that he’s done pretty good at trying to work within the Republican Party, and that’s been one of his goals," Ron Paul said of his son and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). Rand Paul and McConnell have clashed recently over the Patriot Act.
"But he’s also claimed that he has to grow the Republican Party and that’s why he spent so much time on civil liberties and the drug war and how the minorities have been mistreated in the drug war, and I think that is very good," he said. "So I think that he has done quite well in that regard, but it’s also a challenge, obviously."(continued)

please tell me that’s photoshopped. that piece of garbage destroyed Steve Pagones’ life, is responsible for deaths of Koreans, worked with the mob, and is lucky he didn’t die when that Italian guy stabbed him. It was great seeing Rudy toss him to the curb for eight years.
I’ve lost any respect I had for Paul.
You didn’t know he met with Reverend Al? No photoshop required.
didn’t know.
he was across the street from Rockefeller Plaza when I worked there one day and the liberals in the office were so excited, and shocked when I told them he’s a piece of garbage murderer. Paul meeting him is completely and utterly disgraceful.
