John, interesting link.
I know who Rand Paul is but I have no idea who is behind the curtain at snopes.com and can't understand how they became the end all authority on the internet.
You have made a good point and I'm not going to believe either link for the moment.
I just sent off an email to Senator Rand Paul asking him if the link with his signature is truly representing his views and included the link to snopes.com asking why there seems to be a discrepancy.
I'll post his reply when I get it.
