Ron Paul vs. Rand Paul on Ebola

By Ashley Killough, CNN

updated 3:21 PM EDT, Mon October 13, 2014

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Washington (CNN) -- Ron Paul and Rand Paul are singing slightly different tunes on the threat of Ebola.

Sen. Rand Paul, an ophthalmologist and likely presidential contender, has been generating headlines for his stark warnings about the virus, urging a temporary flight suspension from certain West African countries and suggesting Ebola is much more contagious than the government says.

His father, former Rep. Ron Paul, who's also a physician, appears to feel differently. In a column out Sunday, he sounds less distressed about the potential of the virus spreading in the United States and doesn't seem to think airline restrictions will do much good.

White House not naming Ebola 'czar'

The former presidential candidate -- an obstetrician with a strong libertarian following -- doesn't mention banning flights as a possible solution. Instead, he writes that safety concerns can best be handled by the airlines themselves, which he says would have a greater incentive to protect passengers than governments would.

"They can do so while providing a safe means of travel for those seeking medical treatment in the United States," he writes. "This would remove the incentive to lie about exposure to the virus among those seeking to come here for treatment."

Questions remain about how Dallas nurse got Ebola

Paul wants more in GOP fold

Sen. Rand Paul told supporters Sunday that the Republican message can and must appeal to people in all demographics and in states that havent been won by a Republican presidential candidate in many years.

We can reach out and get new people in theses states, we can reach out to new audiences and we can win again, but we need to be the party that passionately is for the Bill of Rights, he said.

Paul said Republicans need to defend the rights outlined in the First and Fourth Amendments with the same vigor that they defend the Second Amendment.

In 2016, were going to get a chance, and I think its about time we start thinking about getting a new president, he said.

Republican victories will begin in three weeks during the mid-term election, Paul said.

I sense that the wind is at our back and I sense were going to have a big victory, he said. In fact, I can taste it.

Like President Ronald Reagan did, Republicans need to exude optimism but also stand for something, Paul said.

When I think about how were going to win again, its as much about our attitude and the way we present our ideas as it is about policy, he said.

Paul closed out an evening of political speeches from individuals including U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., state Agriculture Commissioner James Comer, who is running for governor in 2015 andformer U.S. ambassador Cathy Bailey, who is also considering a run for governor.
