I don't agree with your assessment of Ron Paul. He is flawed, for sure, but it was his arrogant talk-down-to-us supporters that made it impossible to support Ron Paul. They knew everything.
I'm seeing Rand Paul more as someone who is all over the place, kind of an ADHD mind. Rand hasn't been against war-mongering, so I'd be surprised if he's imrpessing his dad's supporters. He came out on the side of the Bundy's eventually, but he didn't have the natural instincts to do so during the fast-moving events.
I thought there was hope for Rand Paul. But now it seems that he's got DC disease and he's more interested in forming a coalition than he is in developing his core values.
Rand Paul is not our saviour.
Very true. Ron Paul may have had a chance, but his maniacal supporters drove everybody off. It was like Howard Dean and his orange-caps.
