          You do know who Ron Paul is right? Rand is completely different from his father. And not in a good way.

          He’s one of the only Republicans to vote continuously against the patriot act.

          Ron had his faults, but he at least stuck to what he said and voted how he thought. Not how the party told him to. Probably the last true conservative/libertarian.
