Neither Paul deserves the Vice Presidency.
Every time someone said, "Ron Paul wouldn't do anything to hurt Rand" I cringed. They're the same. Dad draws the fire so Rand gets his foot (and libertarian power) through the door of the GOP.
“When he came out for his father, it only confirmed my initial suspicion.”
It would have made everyone else in America a little suspicious if he hadn’t.
Rand is one of the few true conservatives in the Senate when it comes to fiscal matters. He is not quite as far out in left field as his father on foreign policy (though he is still out there) and is, like his father, very libertarian on social issues.
All in all, he is a better Republican Senator than the vast majority of them (compare him to Lindsey Graham, John McCain, the evil twin sisters from Maine, Mitch McConnell and... well, most of them).
He supports his father tilting at windmills? So what? He is looking to be a player on the national stage? So what? They are all poiticians and they are all ambitious.
All voters can do is select the politician running that will most advance their own, personal, views. I may take a bit of heat on this site but Rand is okay with me. His views and mine align on quite a few issues. His father? That’s a different story.
Knocking a conservative Senator for campaigning with his goofy father is just silly.
