Rand is showing that he is not his father, rightly so and to his credit!

I was able to catch Rand Paul on The Morning Joe last night (from yesterday morning) - http://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/paul--rubio-supporters-back-nsa-reform-596664899602 - here at AC2P and what I took from it was that Rand is not going to back down, period. At the end of the interview Rand ever so eloquently yet firmly stated, that he would not be [pushed around] by any media outlet or told that his campaign is second-tier…something to be relegated to the less desired annals of history. Ron Paul never called out the media the way Rand has been doing over the last couple months now, at least that I can recall. The fact that he is pressing this in the faces of the media themselves is empowering and should serve to set a precedent that the media should not be in the business of appointing or deciding who is and who is not viable in their push for ‘higher office’.

I spent so much energy on and became so frustrated with Ron Paul in not doing exactly what his son is doing now: calling bullshit on the media! Rand is maintaining and reinforcing the impression that he is here to stay and that regardless of what the media throws his way, he will be there to respond with integrity and sterness. With Paul making it clear that he will not be relegated to an undercard debate and that he will not acquiesce to the media-driven polls as accurate, he is showing that having both feet planted is the best strategy for defending his vital and worthy platforms. The media doesn't need a lesson in political indifference and fairness (as they are doing exactly what they are commanded to do), but the public most definitely does!

I STAND WITH RAND 2016!

 

Peace and Love always.

I have gathered that at this point in the 'game' it really seems to matter little anymore how much the media tries to omit Rand. He is not going to fold like Ron did.

I have nothing but respect and appreciation for Ron. But Rand has honed himself to be viable for the current political environment. He is running to win and is showing more nerve to defend his candidacy. I like the campaign he is now running. I think he is starting to catch on as people realize that he is likable and reasonable.

If you can't trust people with freedom, how can you trust people with power?

No one can be the same as their father, tell me if you are? I will call you a liar.
We al have our own thoughts and ways. We may be in line with their views, but we have different ways to come to that end.
Would Carol Paul "Ever" say another candidate was Two-Face?
This is a different generation of the Paul lineage.
Rand better knows how to put the interviewer in their place than his father. I have seen it. Ron would get frustrated and end the conversation.
Rand is different, I think it is to the better in many ways.

Trump is working with the Establishment.

Exactly! This is why it is so frustrating to hear the media and so many in opposition to Rand yell about the fact that he 'is not his father'. So what! He is for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and actually cares about your liberties!
