Ron Paul makes trouble for Rand Paul over Iranian nuclear weapons
Houston Politics Examiner ^ | April12, 2015 | Mark R. Whittington

Sen. Rand Paul’s campaign for the presidency is not more than a few days old and already his mercurial father, former Rep. Ron Paul, himself a former presidential candidate, is starting to make trouble for his son. According to a Saturday story in the Houston Chronicle, the elder Paul called the famous letter that 47 Republican senators, including the younger Paul, sent to the Iranian mullahs “a joke.” The letter informed the Iranian leadership that any agreement that they reached with President Obama concerning Iran’s nuclear bomb program would not outlast the Obama presidency lacking congressional ratification.

We’re going to see this story a hundred times before the first primaries.

there is a very simple question each politician should be required to address:

— should Iran be allowed to develop or nuclear weapons?

I think Obama, Ron Paul and Rand Paul have a problem making an argument for why America should have the bomb but Iran should not be allowed to have one. It conflicts with their idealogy.

This is all political farce ...


Ron Paul will occasionally use "daddy" (the nutjob) as a political weather balloon ...

Step-1 : Daddy is trotted out to an (all too will MSM press corps) to say something "nutty"

Step-2 : Sonny watches the reaction

Step-3 : Sonny adopts Daddy's "nutty" position if it benefits Sonny politically

Step-4 : MSM is all too happy to play this game

Step-5 : Rinse and repeat, as necessary

A genuine "oops" here ... I wrote "Ron Paul" while meaning "Rand Paul" ...

How could I have EVER made that mistake ?

Seems to me that RAND paul will be running a re-hash of RON paul’s disastrous gambit for president.

RAND paul already has waffled on his idea of cutting the defense budget one year, and this year stating that he will increase it.

Both pauls have very isolationist foreign policies, and RON paul continues to hink the horn with ‘9/11 we deserved for what we did’.

I won’t vote for him.

I feel certain this is all quite deliberate. Ron Paul is crazy like a fox.

Anyone who runs as a tea party guy should be investigated more than one who runs as a rino.

dear sad,

i think you have the wrong directional view.
a rino is only interested, as neal boortz once said, in winning the next election, and will tell you anything, to get it.

a tea party candidate, operates, and defends, the u.S. Constitution.

the rino does not.
