[Toughy]

Paul is a die hard Libertarian dressed up as a Republican. He does not believe in government except in the actual smallest way possible. No Social Security, no Medicare/Medicaid, no welfare/aid to dependent children, no free lunch in public schools, no Departments of Education, Housing, Health and Human Services, Commerce, no EPA, no Labor Relations Board, no military bases outside the US, no foreign aid, no United Nations, no civil rights act, no affirmative action, no government subsidies, no regulatory oversight of anything (banking, farming, oil drilling, health and other insurance, etc).

He believes in only free market capitalism and that an individual is responsible for their lot in life no matter what. The free market is the conscience of society. He suggested in a debate that a person without health insurance should just die because it's their fault they don't have insurance. He is also an MD and is incredibly narcissistic. His son, Senator Rand Paul (R) (KY), is just as scary.

Read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged by Any Rand...or any of her books.....

He does however believe in evolution. He believes all drugs should be legal.

Go to his website and read and then actually think about the consequences of his free market economy and rugged individualism philosophies.

edited to add: the one inconsistency in his no government politics is abortion. He does believe the government should outlaw abortions.
