honesty and candor. this was in 2013, at a time of just abject partisan warfare, and one of the biggest warriors in that fight, the number two republican in consequence at the time was still able to write about the democratic vice president to praise his decency and his honesty, and to call him his friend. this year when vice president biden was considering running for president, the abjectly fiercely partisan top republican in the united states senate said he wouldn t weigh in on whether or not mr. biden should make a run for the presidency, but he too called him his friend. i m not somebody would be seeks his advice about whether to run for president. i do like joe a lot. i think he s a good man. i hear that a lot about joe biden. what other democrat in politics not some conservative wannabe rep democrat, but what true-blue democrat, who else in politics

i was always annoyed with it in congress because we had an anti-war official group, a few libertarian republicans and generally the black caucus and others did not, they are really against war because they want all that money to go to food stamps for people here. that s ron paul not rand paul. saying that members of the congressional black caucus oppose war not because they oppose the wars but because they wanted the money to go to food stamps here. this is going to be an issue for senator rand paul. certainly doesn t appear as though former congressman ron paul is doing everything in his power to help his son become president and comments like this coupled with a history of problems on racial issues are going to hurt senator rand paul. abjectly but he s going to say that s my dad and i love him but i m
