Is it likely it's for Ayn Rand?

Paul is one of the most principled, consistent lawmakers in the US Congress. He's well studied in the fields of biology and economics, and has frequently cited the works of Ayn Rand as being an influence to his philosophies. Whether you agree with him or not or his political stances, comments like these should be reserved for the legimitately corrupt, uneducated congressman, not the little guys who are truly fighting for what they think is right.
