With Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) exit from the 2016 Republican primary, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz hoped to absorb all the of the Kentucky Senator’s supporters by casting himself as a libertarian. There’s just one person standing in the way, former Rep. Ron Paul.

According to Politico, the elder Paul bashed Cruz during a Fox Business interview, saying he was “no libertarian” and not much better than Hillary Clinton.

“You take a guy like Cruz, people are liking the Cruz,” Ron Paul said on Varney & Company Friday. “They think he’s for the free market, and he’s owned by Goldman Sachs. I mean, he and Hillary have more in common than we would have with either Cruz or Trump or any of them so I just don’t think there is much picking.”

Ron Paul said that of all the candidates running, socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was the most free market.

“On occasion, Bernie comes up with libertarian views when he talks about taking away the cronyism on Wall Street, so in essence he’s right, and occasionally he voted against war,” the former Texas congressman said.

“It’s hard to find anybody — since Rand is out of it — anybody that would take a libertarian position, hardcore libertarian position on privacy, on the war issue and on economic policy,” Ron Paul continued. “So I always say: You can search for a long time, but you’re not gonna find anybody in the Republican or Democratic primary that even comes slightly close to ever being able to claim themselves a libertarian.”

This is where far right and far left come around full circle and almost meet.

The difference is that Paul wanted to return the economy to what it once was based on...while he was pointing out the flaws of the system. That was why he always put things in a historical perspective.

Sanders wants to transition the economy into more direct socialism, which is the reason why he points out the same issues. In the end he thinks that big govt can make better decisions for people than they can for themselves. Simple as that. If you believe that the general population is that helpless, I guess they won't notice either - except for what the candidates promise for free. That's where we are I think. Go out there and promise people free secondary education so they don't have to work another 4-6-10 years. Still has the effect of kicking the can down the road.

Actually Sanders has some great ideas and statements about the middle class. If there was a way to combine Trump's nerve with Sanders common sense, we would have a great president, so long as we had a president that was not a _______ worshipper.

Considering you never held any value in what RP ever had to say, its funny that you would post this.

Agree with your post.  Sanders and Ron/Rand Paul point out some of the same problems but their solutions are opposite ends of the spectrum on many of these issues.  They probably do agree on international intervention though.  There is absolutely no doubt that Sanders wants to tax working people more and have expanding government be in control of more services and our lives.
