>>>>If Rand is anything like his father, you’ll have to color me skeptical, very very skeptical

Rand Paul strongly supports the war in Afghanistan. And he supports tough military action on those nations or terror groups that attack America. But he views nation-building as similar to the social engineering programs that liberals promote in America. His opposition to nation building will save America a lot of money.

"And he supports tough military action on those nations or terror groups that attack America."

Rand Paul has said that there isn't much difference between his world views and his father's world views. Things like this, are what gives me great pause.

Ron Paul Is Sole Dissenter From Resolution Supporting Iranian Protests

Ronald Reagan would NEVER vote against something like this, ever.

Because this is Paul's first opportunity to cast votes and for those votes to be recorded, no one really has any idea how he'll vote on foreign policy issues. I would much prefer to have Senators elected to office that have at least some definitive record of how that have voted, not just how they'll say they'll vote. This is why we should be VERY cautious of prospective Senators who weren't US Representatives or US Governors.
