Antiwar.com: The Hollow Man: Rand Paul’s Father Complex

moving its corrosive fingers towards Rand P. They see his popularity rising rapidly and feel the need to swallow him into their flocks of Wall St / Israel-firsters, like Obama, both Clintons, Palin, Backmann et al. Remember how Rahm E and the Cheneys tried so hard to discredit him at the primary?

When the elites are so concerned about his ascendency, and possibly preparing to RIG the election, it proves how worthy Rand is in our fight against the status quo. Rand is by far a better liberty candidate than Jack C, who is for ObamaCare and pro-FED RES bills etc. Rand is for stronger Constitutional Self Defense and limited government.

We will redouble our support for Rand AND Ron Paul. Rather than being a 'hollow man', we are betting that Rand is growing into a man for all seasons with the heart, inherited from Ron and Carol, in the right place.

Justin is not reaching, Justin has nailed this one.

Rand Paul, is a flake.

I saw it on Gitmo, I saw it on the "War on Terror", and I saw it on the Rachael Maddow interview and post discussions.

He's half the man Ron Paul was at the same age.

I am sending a $1,000 check to Rand's Opponent.

I hope he wins.

In peace & liberty,
Treg

It’s hard to believe that Warren’s father, Howard Buffett, was an “Old-Right” (read “libertarian”) congressman from Omaha for a number of years. He distrusted government regulation, the war system, and was generally akin to Sen. Robert Taft’s thinking. Murray — along with others — had great respect for him. Warren’s thinking casts strong doubts on those who believe in a genetic basis for character.

Father or not, I've lost some respect for Ron Paul for continuing to support Rand as Rand "spits in his face."
Well, Rand's not my son, and I will do everything in my power to defeat this political harlot.

Rand Paul is a human being with individual freedom. Many principled people have been corrupted by power. Just because he is Ron Paul's son doesn't mean he will not go the way of many other senators and congressman. However, I think there is a good chance that he will be able to resist the temptations of power.

I think it will become evident when he is elected and we begin to see his voting record

No sooner did my column on the shortcomings of Rand Paul appear online then Brian Doherty was out with a long blog post on the Reason magazine web site, which starts out:

“I’m already hearing whispers especially from the antiwar libertarian hardcore that a strangely respectful and nuanced profile of the GOP Senate candidate from Kentucky via The New Republic‘s Jason Zengerle in GQ is giving them all the more reason to dislike or fear him.”

Respectful? The article is illustrated with a photo of Rand sitting in what looks like a television studio dressed in a suit and tie from the waist up, and yellow madras Bermuda shorts. He’s wearing dress shoes, and no socks. His face bears the expression of an errant schoolboy who’s been kept after school, his cheeks puffed out like an exasperated blowfish. Zengerles’ kindest description of the candidate, eagerly cited by Doherty, reads as follows:

Is he really a Christian, or just another Deciever? As it now has become apperent, that those who follow AIPAC, who claim themselves to be Christians, all fit this premise, by voting to fight unjust wars. In other words they believe in killing people for political reasons, instead of actual defense of their people from a real threat. Though, our Founder's were not all acclaimed Christians, they did see the basis of 'just war', was the only correct reason to be written in the Constitution. They concluded prior empires who fought wars for political reasons, all collapsed and never regained their stature they once obtained. Some might say it is coincidence, but true Christians will conclude their fate was punishment from the Creator. So, Rand must not only need to decide if he will uphold his oath to the Constitution, but if he will uphold his oath, to who he claims as his Saviour. He may be able to fool the people, but he can't fool the all Knowing.

Is this not EXACTLY what Rand is doing when he associates himself (in ANY way) with the likes of Palin, Huckabee, and even CRYSTAL ? Good Lord, what must one see ?

These NeoPauls remind me of the tea partyers. They started out on the right path, but were quickly/easily diverted by the 1st shiny objects that the neocons waved before them.
