Rand Paul Has Passport, Won’t Travel

The senator talks about about foreign policy non-stop, but doesn’t seem to have an interest in traveling anywhere.
Senator Rand Paul is not an isolationist, he’s more of a homebody.

Since entering the Senate in January 2011, Paul has spent much of his time focused on reimagining America’s role in the world, but he apparently doesn't have much interest in traveling to many of the places he talks about.

In his capacity as a federal lawmaker, Paul has traveled abroad just once: to Israel and Jordan in 2013 for a privately funded tour that was described as an “information gathering trip.”

Paul met with King Abdullah and swam in the Dead Sea, clad in flower-printed swim trunks.

Beyond that jaunt to the Middle East, Senator Paul’s feet have remained firmly on American soil, according to Senate records.

Maybe he doesn't believe in spending excess amounts of taxpayer dollars for trips that could be nothing more than propaganda expeditions? Just sayin'

Old article, it has been posted before. Silly. I think Rand went on another eye doctoring trip recently, or will soon.

Correct, he went to Guatemala and will be going to Haiti.
