Maybe post less & read more. Start with the most recent “Reckless Endangerment” by Gretchen Morgenson & Joshua Rosner-experts in financial journalism not right wingnuts. There you’ll trace through the Affordable Housing story.
Irag/Afghan Vets give more money to RP than all other candidates combined.
As 2 immigration-RP is in line with the overall view of average Americans-the ones demanding “Democracy Now.” I don’t think left elites really want democracy.
The border is a very appropriate place for the military-when its keeping invaders out-not its citizens in.
Paulistas don’t support an aggressive foreign policy-against regime change wars

Paul voted against providing housing assistance to very low-income veterans, against expanding education benefits for returning troops, and against improving how the Department of Veterans Affairs is funded. 
No wonder the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave Paul a big fat F on their congressional scorecard. 

Paul’s anti-veteran votes are the logical conclusion of his libertarian politics. Libertarians hate “Big Government,” by which they mean just about every federal law and program under the sun. That’s why Paul is against the minimum wage, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the food stamp program, mandatory immunization, and the 1964 Civil Rights Act that ended Jim Crow segregation. 

Yet Paul’s principled opposition to “Big Government” ends when it comes to the issue of immigration. He supports denying undocumented immigrants any form of legal status, repealing the Constitution’s fourteenth amendment guaranteeing citizenship by birthright, militarizing the border, and forcing hospitals to report suspected undocumented immigrants. A consistent libertarian would oppose all immigration controls because they restrict an individual’s freedom to live where they please and interfere with the laws of supply and demand governing international labor markets.
