AUSTIN - Well, this could make for an awkward conversation at Thanksgiving dinner.
Former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul on Saturday dismissed as a "joke" the demand by U.S. senators of his party that they must approve a potential agreement over the Middle East country's nuclear capabilities.
"I strongly disagree with the motivation of that statement made by so many members of Congress, especially in the Senate," Paul said at a conference on liberty at the University of Texas at Austin, presumably referring to an open letter senators sent to Iranian officials describing any deal not approved by them as informal.
Paul, a longtime Lake Jackson congressman who left office in 2013, said Congress should have a role in reviewing agreements, but he questioned whether the senators really cared about the constitutional questions or just wanted to undermine the deal.
"They're out to stop peace," he said. "They're terrified that peace might break out."
Paul's son, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who announced his own presidential bid earlier this week, signed the letter and cosponsored a bill to require the Obama administration to seek congressional review.

For Ron Paul, “peace breaking out” means Iran turning Israel into a sheet of glass.

Exactly! The Ron Paul arrogance is only out matched by the current occupant in the White House. The problem Rand has is the more we are exposed to him the more we see the Paul family arrogance in him. Granted, his arrogance is nowhere near his father’s level, but enough to give pause to his candidacy when arrogance supplants ignorance.
What an endearing article. How hmmm, how Kadarshian like.
This could be a great reality show — no sarcasm. Father paul vs Son paul, living together and sharing their political feuds.
We can have guest stars like spend the week with them. Whoopie Goldberg, Chris Christie, James Carville, for the season finally we can have Lindsay Graham come out on the show and dress as the little girl he is.
How nice of Dr Paul to let the leftist establishment use him to poke at Conservatives.
You’d think he would have learned by now what a useful tool he is to the left.
Just a tool.
