The DNA Test Must Be Back: Rand Paul Really is the Son of Ron

Rand Paul fanboys are ecstatic that a Rand Paul email piece is out where Ron Paul shows support for his son.

But what the fanboys fail to take notice of is that this email piece has gone out, now, with Rand diving in the polls. Prior to this, Team Rand ignored Ron as if he had ebola.

And remember how Rand was spinning things last year? From MSNBC, March 2014:
Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, says he has “pretty much quit answering” questions about his dad, the libertarian ex-congressman and former presidential candidate Ron Paul.
“I’ve been in the Senate three years, and I have created a record of myself,” Paul told the Daily Caller. “And I have my opinions.”
It is despicable how Rand has treated his father. Ron Paul would have been just as happy to send that email out any time, not just now when Rand is flailing in the presidential campaign, polling consistently under 5%, and in some polls under 3%. It's either this is desperation on the part of campaign Rand or the ever cautious Team Rand is finally getting DNA confirmation that Rand really is the son of Ron.

Rather than sending this email out this weekend and flying to Haiti, I would have been more impressed if Rand showed up at the big 80th birthday celebration going on for his father this weekend in Lake Jackson, Texas.

  1. It shows a failure of leadership that the rank and file can't spot a phony. Kudos to you though Robert. Between your blog and Mises's writings, I think I've learned to spot antiliberal thought pretty well now.

  2. Interesting Rand has never once mentioned Austrian economics or its influence on him to my knowledge yet Ron mentions it in his endorsement.
