Who Is RAND PAUL? A Short Biography of the Life and Times of Rand Paul
Rand Paul's Libertarian father had a strong following when he ran for President. Will the son surpass his father in the coming Republican primaries? Will he rise to the top and actually become the Republican nominee for President? Will he, in fact, defeat Hillary Clinton and become our President?
In his political views, Rand Paul's father, former Congressman Ron Paul, was a little eccentric, but their home life was strictly Brady-bunch normal. The children had a healthy balance of freedom and responsibility. Punishment for misdeeds consisted of writing assignments. From his childhood, Rand was exposed to the political activities and libertarian philosophy of his father. He was involved in Ron Paul's earliest campaigns and traveled with him to the Republican National Convention when his dad headed up the Texas delegation that nominated Ronald Reagan for President.
