Rand Paul is nothing like his father. While Ron Paul fought hard against FISA, NDAA, PATRIOT, and Drones, his son follows the party line, but gives enough lip service to not turn off his father's supporters.

I'd argue that he simply learned from his father that you can't actually get shit done by always falling back on your ideological principles.
Sorry, but that's incorrect. Rand Paul fought hard against CISPA, FISA, the Patriot Act, and drones.
Rand Paul wasn't in office during PATRIOT's passing, so I suspect a troll.
I didn't say Rand Paul fought against the bill when it was up for a vote. He has, however, been fighting hard against the expansion of the Patriot Act's provisions.
