Apparently, he is going after the intelligence agencies.
Does anyone care?

The fact of the matter is someone will get elected.
Although we have little power in what the government does, we can at least sacrifice a half an hour of our time to make a single vote. It might make a tiny difference, but a difference nonetheless.
You're saying you wouldn't mind Hillary Clinton over Rand Paul?

His father has been consistent. More so than any other politician to my knowledge.

I wonder if Rand Paul would really be different from any other Republican?
What would he do let's imagine:
Cut taxes for the rich mostly.
Allow more pollution to enter our atmosphere.
Cut welfare spending.
Cut anything that had to do with education, scientific research, health care, public transport.
Probably start and continue and get mixed up in mid-east wars because what is he, some radical peacenick?
Probably do nothing about immigration.
Probably loosen restriction on guns.
What else? Oh yea say "liberty" a lot.
The most surprising thing would be if he actually did not get us involved in any wars, actually rolled back spying on American citizens, did something about the huge amount of Americans in jail for non-violent crimes... Doubt any of that would pass with Dems or Reps.

Some people are such partisan hacks they just see political phrases and go into takking points mode...

The only way to judge a politician is to judge him by his actions because you cannot trust their words alone. Do your research and come to your own conclusion about Mr. Paul. Check out his sponsored bills and bills he's introduced to the Senate.

He's tried to do a lot of things I agree with and some I don't, but on average he is better than most of the scumbags in DC.

Many are saying Rand Paul is now pandering and flip-flopping on issues to appear more palatable to the American public for the 2016 election, as opposed to the "fringe" libertarian policies him and his father put forth.
