He has been upfront and honest about it.
That is why a lot of both democrats and republicans fear Rand Paul.
You need to get some stain stick on that kool aid you spilt all over yourself. If you have to be a philosophical eunuch, a contradictory liar, and an intellectual idiot to get votes, then you should not get votes. And I hate to burst your paul bot bubble, but no one "fears" Rand Paul. Not politically.
Paul has a very good political reason for leaving Iowa and going to the Hamptons.
The war between Rand Paul and the NeoCon GOP hawks began well over a year ago when the NeoCons published that story about Paul's aide Jack Hunter being the "Southern Avenger" and a NeoConfedererate racist, which by association means Paul is a racist. Rand Paul responded to that attack by attacking Liz Cheney, and they have been taking pot shots at each other since. This is why Hillary hired the prominent NeoCon Fred Kagan as a political advisor and attacked Obama over Syria.
BTW, I'm not a PaulBot. I have no libertarian leanings nor am I an isolationist. I don't even like to look at Rand Paul because I have contempt for men who "perm" their hair.
