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."

Excerpt from:
Ron Paul vs. Rand Paul on Ebola

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.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - A federal judge has denied Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate David Patterson's request to force a public broadcaster to include him in Monday night's debate between Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell and Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes.

U.S. District Judge Gregory F. Van Tatenhove ruled that Kentucky Educational Television did not exclude David Patterson from its Kentucky Tonight program solely because of his political views. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled public broadcasters can exclude candidates based on their level of support but not because of their political views.

"The First Amendment is not a rule of quantity at any cost," Van Tatenhove wrote. "Voters may actually benefit by a forum or debate that includes only those candidates that have a realistic chance of winning rather than many voices competing for very limited time. What KET cannot do is pick and choose candidates based on their viewpoints. KET has not done so here."

KET executive director Shae Hopkins said the station believes "all journalists have the right to decide for themselves who to interview and what issues to cover." But she added that KET will "forever be committed to presenting a diverse array of viewpoints, fairly and objectively."

Libertarian Party of Kentucky chairman Ken Moellman said he was not happy with the decision but said the state party does not have enough money to appeal the ruling. Patterson, in a news release, criticized KET for requiring candidates raise a minimum of $100,000 to appear in the debate.

"That means you must be rich or have rich friends to even stand a chance," Patterson said. "Kentuckians now have their hard-earned tax dollars being used to deprive them of knowing their options when they walk into the ballot box."
