I found this while trying to size up Sen. Paul and his qualifications as a national leader. I fear his father's "be nice to the Iranians and they will be nice to us" foreign policy, and suspect the acorn yada, yada, yada.
Anyway, let's add this to our body of knowledge on the man before considering Rand Paul as a President.
Jennifer Rubin "Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is supposedly the titular head of the isolationist wing of the Republican Party. He has, among other things, suggested that containing a nuclear-armed Iran would be feasible, that we need fewer bases and overseas troops, that we should cut foreign aid and that we should not have intervened or remained in Iraq."
....
"But here’s the rub: His philosophical bent is not consistent with discrete policies he says he wants to pursue, which just happen to be near and dear to the hearts of Christian conservatives who turn out heavily in the GOP presidential primary and caucus contests."
