Rand Paul Tosses Libertarian Supporters and ideals "under the bus"

Rand Paul Tosses Libertarian Supporters For The Religious Right

Rand Paul, like his father, courted the college vote with his libertarian views on national security issues. Ron Paul also held some of the religious vote by ditching those views to express his wholehearted objection to women's rights in general and abortion rights in particular.

Rand, on the other hand, has decided that he must ditch everything he courted those college kids' votes for. Check out this interview, where he panders with impunity to the hard right Christian wing of the Republican Party.


So government is bad unless it's in the face of people who love each other and women who want control of their reproductive systems. Good to know. Pay attention, young people.

That tells me all about Mr. Paul that I don't care for. (I refuse to recognize him as a Dr, because his associations are dubious).
