Two of the early favorites to represent the Republican Party in the 2016 presidential election - Chris Christie and Rand Paul - have been going going at it in recent weeks - with Christie criticizing Paul's libertarian leanings and Paul criticizing Christie for allegedly being about big government. Well, Rand needn't worry anymore, because his father and former Republican candidate in just about every presidential primary since 2000 it seems - Ron Paul - has made his voice known on the matter.
Speaking with Neil Cavuto on Fox News, the elder Paul had this to say on the recent bickering between his son and Christie:
"That would be safe to say (about not being a Christie fan). He's not going to have a change of heart. He's a big government person. It would be similar to the last go-around. I couldn't endorse our candidate. ... I don't like the bickering back and forth. I think it was significant debate -- one person blasting those of us who believe in liberty and saying you shouldn't be that critical of government. That is significant, but still again two politicians going at it. I would much rather talk about why we should have a Fed or why we shouldn't."
Yes, because in the world of Ron Paul and those like him, any government constitutes as big government!
If Rand Paul does in fact run for the presidency in 2016, it's nice to know he'll have quite the staunch supporter in his father. Ron will likely have a weekly segment on his coming how titled, "In Defense of My Son - Little Randy." During this segment, it's all but inevitable Paul will utter the following lines:
- "Chris Matthews... I heard what you said about my son. You're grounded!"
- "Ed Schultz - why don't you pick on someone your own size, huh?"
- "Ms. Maddow - you've been a bad girl! Go to your room!"
- "Mr. Sharpton, I would have smacked you with a belt if you were my son and I heard you say such things about another child! But, you're not, so I'm going to smack you upside the head for saying that stuff about my son!"
- "Jon Stewart - I used to like you, but not anymore after hearing you badmouth my son. That's it! I've had it! No more allowance for you!"
- "Yeah, this goes out to that French guy on Comedy Central - Colbert. You have absolutely no right to tease my son's pube-like hair - I mean, you have no right to claim he has pube-like hair! That's immature, not at all funny, and just downright cruel! Now go and stand in the corner and I'll call and let you know when you can come out."
