Bowl Me Over With A Feather

by digby

I can hardly believe what Greg Sargent is reporting here. Rand Paul isn’t really a principled libertarian? Seriously?

In the past, Rand has echoed his father’s views, opposing the Iraq War, and from the neocon point of view, the Paul family’s isolationism is as whacked out as anything hatched by the anti-war left.

Now, it turns out, Rand is looking to mend fences. He made a quiet pilgrimage and met privately with some of Washington’s most influential neocons, as well as the pro-Israel lobby, delivering them a not-too-subtle message: Never mind my father’s views, you guys can trust me now.

Why next thing you know somebody will be telling us that the Tea Party only cares about spending when Democrats are in charge.
