Rand Paul has been accused of flip-flopping on Afghanistan and military tribunals for Terror suspects at Guantanamo, but I think that's less of a "flip-flop" on his part than the fact that Rand Paul has always been a little more hawkish on Afghanistan and Terror suspects than is his dad, Ron Paul.
Their positions are so identical on most other issues, that I think some people believed they were entirely identical -- and so believe that Rand Paul has "flip-flopped" on those issues. Me, I don't think he did flip-flop; I just think Rand Paul, as compared to Ron Paul, was a little more hawkish on Afghanistan and Terror suspects in the first place. But I'm open to correction on that.
This is just another case of the Libertarians using the GOP ticket to get one of their own into a high-profile office. There’s a lot of this going on and the Libertarians don’t have conservatives’ best interests at heart.
They’re going to be trying this in a lot of critical elections and we have to be on our toes in order to put a stop to it.
What’s good for the “Paul People” is not good for conservatives. This is a conservative site.
