To make it more clear, every single position that Rand Paul has moved left on, is him moving closer to the libertarian position on that issue.
It is his libertarianism that he is revealing.
you have outlined some of them. and the immigration thing is DC money. If that is what he is after then... i’m not a fan of rand or his dad. just sayin that “ls” that i know - know more about the law, argue the law and stand up against more government corruption — in court, in protests, in life and are consistent in what they believe — more than anyone else i know personally (and i’ve met the local “rs” here in philly) and they do it giving up their land, money, and time. but i live in philly so to see that is a blessing.
