I actually feel sorry for his dad.

I didn't agree a whole lot with Ron, but I had respect for him. Though I didn't necessarily share his principles, they were obviously deeply held and sincere.

Rand, on the other hand, appears to have no meaningful principles at all, and I can't work out if it's because he's too dishonest or too stupid, and I have the sneaking suspicion it's actually both.

Ron is also consistent, he doesn't like the government so he actively fights against it (including for gay rights). Meanwhile Rand wants to use the government to enforce his own political ideology.

He’s a useful stooge for Russia

Looks like he ran out of coke money.

Socialism for me not for thee

Rand Paul is very little more than a Conservative, there's absolutely nothing Libertarian about him or his beliefs.

I find it extremely incredulous he doesn’t have enough money from his Russian overlords.

Then again it’s probably now all going to Trump’s legal troubles.

We should donate sharp golf clubs to his neighbor.

This isn’t socialism it’s just taxes, or welfare. Of course the American system thinks welfare is socialism so there’s that.
