Seats Lexington | Rand Paul's dream Witt pondein run for national office, mst be biter ‘sweet to hear fans gush that your strong suitis beingless of ‘crank than your dad. But thatisihe view of many Republicans ‘who admire Rand Paul, a senator from Kentucky and star ofthe shrink the government right. They call him a worthy heir to his father, Ron Paula cult figure among libertarians, longtime con- ‘ressman and serial contender forthe White House-but withthe ‘added gifts of knowing how to talk to ordinary voters,and when toshut up. The elder Mr Paul inspired devotion among a slice of the electorate, but was ultimately confined to the fringes by his radicalism and mad-uncle manner. The younger Mr Paulisdiffer- ent,boosters ay: amore political animal altogether. Visiting New Hampshire on May 2oth, a mere 31 months be- fore thatstate holds the frst primary ofthe 2ous presidential race, the first-term senator provoked revealing responses. He was wel comed by over soo Republican at fundraising dines, inch {ng more youngsters than regulars had seen ata party event in years. He was also greeted by local Republicans selling T-shirts calling him:"The palatable Paul”. ‘Some guests thought the shirts disrespectful. After all, Ron Paul won second place in the 2012 Republican primary in New Hampshire: a state full of flinty Yankees who detest both taxes ‘and meddling in folks private lives. But more guests endorsed the sentiment. Ron Paul wanted to abolish the Federal Reserve, close America’s foreign military bases and let the states decide ‘whether to legalise drugs. He even questioned aid for Israel. ‘Small wonder henever won more than asmall slice of the vote, ‘Rand Paul frets about the Fed printing money, but stops short, cof wanting it scrapped. He stands for foreign policy “realism”, ‘meaning fewer warsbuta continued American presence abroad. Heopposesaidfor countries that burn American lags.Butincon- trastto his father, he took trip to Israel in January andmade sup: portive noises. He has talked up his Christian faith. He has called for the scrapping of mandatory minimum sentences for non: violent drug offenders, but would notlegalise drugs. He says heis nota libertarian but a conservative guided by the constitution. He opposes abortion and gay marriage, and does not urge any- ‘one to*run around with no clothes on and smoke pot”. Inshort hes trying to be more palatable to Republicans than, his dad. That explains why so many sturdy New Hampshire con- servatives came to see him in the flesh: a tradition in their state, ‘where voters joke about refusing to back presidential candidates, they haveret only twice. The senator was outto charm, wearing, blue jeans with his blazer and tie. He was derisive rather than fe- rocious about big government, choosing hs targets widely/ie at tech algedtalyng oy tax roperters butalo the ioiooe federally-mandated codes for reporting medical incidents, in cluding two separate ones forturle-inflicted injuries, depending. ‘on whether the victims were “bitten” or “struck”.se . -saueutwedun soqoyy s29 zoaopex quiod ourgur steusiep ou of jsoureaniay sorqeiqmes op sed expurene ta aeuysuer odopes dived ef 1S “setsioqmoo se0 ¥ sUONIP UD sNON “guNILO ‘on, NE Oz NP ‘opXeA “qWessTIOLA BT “qnoy np sed ‘asson3 vj op 4noy np Jopred expuodta ue anid aremoa ou og “ayes opmmoy oun srur00 of BI -opostde,nb yuwy ua exten wy ‘xoysisur sues syeut Feaxne esque yweuuorjuoul ‘o[qssod enb squepnad yeare some, ue npuoque woIq UIV9 yo THUTHOD gered axou 9p syelns sop epre,, Y OUIPoUE UOKEsIZAUOO ep 07108 oun soqonegs,p smiquivaid op osgrueur uo reAvssaf “quessteuuiooar our Ue qwouIp!T -espp op nod un quowreynes ‘vjory sons our ¥ ostidins eata op seanosdg quod oureur wiquies ou oma “hapad steav, of nb eyqugadespp sUIOW Ny 30030 JetuIeId of 42 yOX Mon ¥ WowONbsugep UU sindep sTeVEqG9P our of Tpnbor SUBp olseIBUI np ywWuedewy ‘sodstp sqid ned y quowefequour seanosy our of BUIPTTO Op sasop soSse] op quoworqerejad gqiqun yueanoyy OW “gundeun sreav,yof onb a30u v] suep Ward 39 aT}9 2049 ss0d 4849,9 “xergoSpp snoa quoanad goraies uN JopueUTOp ¥ sjaidde,s wo stonbxne sua s9] anb 99 mout 489,9 “ond of L oun,p Berg ougisiory 0 33uTA Te ‘eur Hp Vary ooAT ‘udnoopp vf zed ray ref ‘orure.p opnur oped yy sana vy ‘syoowey saci “efonbsn{ noga w vonbstnd ayspod us ojnoy pgnoq uo “owasrert op snjd ‘ovgyshur ap snfg ‘sorpuourun,p yey wa MusAep 459 TO,nb 99 72 dummies qWouesnefadaios xojdurequco os op jnoy snod 4 tnot wo amas Y “gssed un guaquoo anb sowadoyee Soy soqt0y expuasduzos anod ‘oud warq ‘9x5 490 UO ‘eqdwwoo puazes uo ‘ore ¥ [eur onb worq yuo} ont9407300 quawmatnos ong mod sorreutop ‘gqnenso op ‘ojgimeo op 108 *rxe quad offe,nb 80 304 pxqwoUT UAT v sNOA OLA vy pond ‘paws snyd sre ‘ouspuewos yrodxaut un,p souBis sjanb ster ou of stad yo eolouuorsred saxqny 9p sasnoxe sop weanon Inof ¥ eaLTT vo ‘oLoynu sonbrus sngd sot ‘seoussyrpuy sopire snd sof ‘ossounof vy quepuog gui-iny sduzo4 of, onb exootxe ayquimp suid arg re ‘ouesd. ua ‘sare wo ‘anp-y-480,0 IO} [0b [o7 quuppur exquouspp os ‘tora Seno y osuad uo puenb ‘ota OsjOu y spIgu JuoIN] Ib song sop omsT0d9/ “eyoatisgp quourores said 2 uodey e] op approduros 4roy9,9 of[o “yuessqqoaygr £ wo xnaynop snyd Foquies ou v[s0 79 ‘prep UoUI y ‘ozn0} eumuog jerure,p core ayrjed wor osx vy sreurel sues gnieredep go smote geste worq sreane,t of oura09 ‘osnozid pyisso0gu 03400 Jeg je[oT ep oqoieqoar VF gam ourstonb cocnotspdimy so eoquedon woiquios erecd ‘yua8ze,p suostex sop anod quowonbrun watq yny 22) ZS6T ‘puewyje suo}ip3 AN e] ap nog ne aBeAon AINITZ pueulpsas-sinoy‘eral saenprenirau spepnre mi TnIO A saa egy oo REIT aye eps eb np sos sop sefiene Sae 5y11 MeP EER UPERI D Sl a tn ee oe er OES dean pcp sxe semis vu TEND LORS avon hep je0 930 99:08) ee el eppeN LES we ENE PEAS cntmepryorpn nme aren epee ma ale IL stoz-oL0z ed enfieene K-eemnog op oop us oper NO 9p sopeynens op cam op seweuenucou| BequeA SCONE fp uo vaumsa as nb sopensay 9p ooze op semoquonuo2ut 2 ne ou oa Pel we Hw 1204 epusnbps ‘yowuedsa ef £ uppenstaupy 9p ofesio j2 sod sepepug seuo;iu5}0 927 SELL 5 ug as soqeo Ho] 290g U> Sx0pesIpl 9 sopaynsa ap 242s Eun ALMIPI LIO ML 2p soatBjensesoanafgo omens so] ap und = nba wun 2oqqese SopeHNs: 2p OOM ‘2isq ‘sonmovsaoo somoig san SURI agmse otcusiME w5gap anb “RURNES Sop! 3p cams um ofp 110 #1 STOC-O10e med Benes K SECU 9p OORT WOO °9 “samy soo soupuodsazzooossondnsa & wma asgos SomauENDOP “somuogsoud somandnsaid 2p sopeyedwose eq) “auouyessut ‘oeb K L4O eh 9p sauuodu swunsfoxd 20[ sopo) meqramqa onb sopmeip sound A sasondoxd 9p ogemn 05 (on spe seu 001 2p sy 2) s661-0661 4 La61-286I 090}. 20 em sopmogEE 50) omoo ‘czy Gunzpauw soya soayynse Sod so| woo uuyo au L101 F 2opesed je ue 110 B] op ejoUS}edxe eB Opis ey END?
