>> Rand Paul is big libertarian by osmosis...
I think Rand Paul is sincere in his statements. I’ve heard his opposition to father’s political views on more than one occasion.
Conservatives are shaded by either statism or libertarianism. A few are dead center. Rand Paul is obviously on the liberty side of the spectrum.
Best potential candidate for 2016.
I am kind of a statist conservative but as of now Rand Paul is my top presidential choice. He will run if it looks favorable to him and he can raise the money.
