Los acontecimientos apuntan a Rand Paul

Según Bernie Quigley en The Hill:

(...) The invasion of Libya presents the perfect possible political moment to him. Father Ron railed daily against the invasion of Iraq, but America at first required vengeance. We are not a commonly vengeful people, but will respond, as the bard Toby Keith so poignantly put it at the time, with “a boot in the ass” when we are injured, and that more than anything perhaps represented the heartland feelings about the Iraq war and 9/11. But Ron Paul had what might be called a “higher law” vision and it has now captivated almost 40 percent of younger Republicans.

We feel this time an active dislike but no particular vengeance against Libya about any specific hurt. Ron Paul’s arguments against the Iraq invasion might be listened to more thoughtfully when they come today from son Rand.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says the 49 percent support of the Tea Party shows Americans are disinterested in it. But President Obama’s approval rating is much lower. And the times are moving toward Rand. Invariably, widespread social movements like the Tea Party move to one champion and representative. She or he has not yet been found. But it will not be any of the so-far-announced Republicans, nor will it be one like Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker or Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, who primarily serve the Republican traditions. The traditions are eroding. The world is beginning again. It may be Rand Paul. (...)
