Rand vs. Ron? Cordoba House Drives Wedge Through The Paul Family

[RamboLiberal]

Are Ron and Rand Paul on opposite sides of the Cordoba House debate? Rand, running for Senate in Kentucky, has taken the standard GOP line on the project -- namely, it's up to New York officials to decide the project's fate, but personally he's against it. And now, in an extremely strongly-worded statement posted to his movement's website Friday, father Ron ripped into opponents of the Cordoba House project, saying that the rhetoric taking on the plan is clearly "all about hate and Islamaphobia."

Neither Paul immediately responded to a request for comment on their difference in language. But the Cordoba House appears to be an issue where Rand is very publicly breaking from this father's dyed-in-the-wool libertarianism, which often leaves the elder Paul standing alone against the GOP establishment.

1. So Pop is the (more) sane one of the two...

Although that isn't saying a heck of a lot, it doesn't surprise me.

2. I like some of Ron Paul's views.

Although I think blaming government is not seeing that it is the attachments behind some in government that is the problem. And that is business side mostly.

As far as standing alone, I think many people thought to be alone are just not with help from other people, doesn't mean you are alone.


And people have not mailed me my cash yet. so :shrug: But why would that matter, if it did they would wouldn't they.

3. I think Paul the elder is less the opportunist and Paul the younger is more the career politicians
