MANCHESTER U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), one of several potential 2016 Republican presidential candidates in town for today's "Freedom Summit" in Manchester, says he would not vote for the Paul Ryan budget plan that passed the House earlier this week.

In an interview with the New Hampshire Union Leader on Friday, Paul also repeated his frequent observation that "the same old cookie-cutter, Chamber of Commerce Republican may not be what we need to win anymore."

And that, he said, "actually encourages people like myself who say, you know what, maybe conservatives need a little bit of a libertarian twist or maybe the Republican party needs a little bit of a libertarian twist to help them have access to new constituencies."

The junior senator from Kentucky sidestepped a question about how his political views differ from those of his father, Ron Paul, the former Presidential candidate who frequently chastised his Republican opponents and became a counter-cultural hero to the college generation.

But Paul said he understands his father's appeal with younger voters.

"I think young people see through hypocrisy," he said. "My dad exemplified and portrayed genuineness almost to a fault."

"He didn't beat around the bush and he told you, whether it was politic or not, ... what he thought."

The younger Paul did a bit of that himself when he discussed the budget plan by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., that narrowly passed the House on Thursday. Twelve Republicans and all the Democrats voted against it.

Paul said the Ryan plan includes "a little bit of fudging on the numbers" to get to a balanced budget in 10 years.

PORTSMOUTH U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., brought his vision of lower taxes, less regulation and reaching out to disenfranchised Americans in the inner city to the Pease Tradeport on Friday.

Paul said the best way to improve the economy and create jobs is to leave more money in New Hampshire, rather than sending it to Washington.

It's as simple as that, Paul said during an appearance before about 60 people in the lobby of the One New Hampshire Ave. building.

He also emphasized that the Republican party must reach out to people they might not have in the past, and pointed to his bill to create economic freedom zones in places like Detroit.

There's 15,000 feral dogs roaming the city, Paul said about Detroit. It's a disaster.

Instead of creating federal programs to try to address the parts of Detroit that have been abandoned, Paul called for cutting the tax rate for individuals and corporations in the city to 5 percent for 10 years.

I don't pick winners and losers, Paul said. I lower their taxes.

Too often, Paul contended, Republicans haven't been bold enough in calling for substantial tax cuts and trying new ideas like the economic freedom zones.

Republicans have to do more than suggest things like "revenue neutral tax cuts," in an attempt to be too much like the other party, or they won't succeed.
