Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) “has built a reputation as a libertarian ideologue, a Washington outsider guided by a rigid devotion to principle,” the Washington Post reports.
“But his policy vision is, in fact, a work in progress. While he has maintained his core support for cutting spending and protecting Americans’ privacy rights, Paul has shaded, changed or dropped some of the ideas that he espoused as a tea party candidate and in his confrontational early days as a senator. As the prospect of a 2016 presidential bid looms larger, Paul is making it clear that he did not come to Washington to be a purist like his father, former congressman Ron Paul (R-TX).”
