Ron Paul doesn't figure to be a major part of his son Rand's presidential campaign despite Ron's having run in the last two presidential elections. <\/p>\n

Ron Paul stood off to the side Tuesday as his son Rand announced he was running for president. <\/p>\n

There was no speaking role for the elder Paul, 79. There was no ceremonial passing of the torch of \"liberty.\" <\/p>\n

There wasn't even a hearty thank you or nod to the father's raucous presidential campaigns that laid the groundwork for the son's launch. <\/p>\n

\"I never could have done any of this without the help of my parents who are here today,\" Rand Paul said in Louisville, Ky., in the only section of his speech that made allusion to his father. \"I'd like you to join me in thanking my mom and dad for all their help and support through the years.\" <\/p>\n

Help and support with politics? Not so much. <\/p>\n
