The Ron/Rand Paul hidden agenda
If Ron Paul is moving to position his son as his successor on the
presidential trail, he should come out and at least acknowledge the
point.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) himself should begin to echo the case of
what his father stands for, and how he believes he could carry that
mantle in his own unique fashion.
After all, the Tea Party movement is
here to stay, and that’s several tens of thousands of instant supporters
in his camp — some of the same ones who sent him as one of two of
Kentucky’s favorite sons.
Further, Sen. Rand Paul should begin preparing himself by assuming more of a leadership role in the Senate, if not in the true sense of the GOP hierarchy, at least in taking some tough stands on the issues of the day — beginning with the debt ceiling. Sure, we know where he stands, but will he lead his party and this country in some greater capacity?
Paul can’t win the 2012 nomination, but he has a cause and a collection of followers looking for its next genuine leader. Perhaps his son is the right person to step into that role. Only time will tell.
