RE: Rand said he was "HAPPY" to endorse Romney...

It didn't do much for his self-esteem, but it did enable him to fit in and be safe, and probably will help him keep his Senate seat in order to continue feeding at the public trough.

Rand Paul is a good man

I like him. Is he perfect ? No ! Who is ? He will make a difference. I see him starting a lot of changes. I say don't be so hard on him. The forces against him are large. He is doing a courageous job. He has a thankless job. I say honor him and you will see more from him than all this negative talk.

RE: Rand Paul is a good man

Very good man. It takes extreme courage to stand up against a few powerless honest and patriotic people, and join up with the lubricious pols of the old GOP. I imagine he's very proud of himself.

Republic Man, well said!

Republic Man, well said! Those are my thoughts exactly. I think most people here didn't even listen to the full interview. If people actually turned their minds on for a second and actually listened to what Rand had to say in this interview, they would probably agree with Rand. I thank Peter for providing us with this interview, so those of us who are actually willing to look at the situation with an open mind can hear Rand's words himself and see what is really going on.

Dont listen to these clowns on here

They do not (hopefully) represent most of us outside of this site. The Alex Jones kooks flood this site with vitriol and hate towards anyone that doesnt believe or denounces their conspiratorial crap.

I stand with Rand as well.

I stand with Rand too!

Familiar

your obviously familiar with AJ. Not sure why your think he perches conspiracy. Conspiracies are only theories and ideas. If there is proof and facts. Behind what is stated then it is truth.

So I suppose you agree with the NDAA, Executive order, 2700 MRAPs , 450 million hollow point bullets, TSA, undeclared wars, drones, check points, the police state, bailouts, stimulus packages and United Nations now controlling the military correct? All a conspiracy?

your a f-cking Necon!!!

Mjs

You sound defensive. Jumping

You sound defensive.

Jumping from assumptions about what this person believes (implying that he thinks they're a conspiracy), and then accusing him of being a "Necon" (on what basis, I have no idea) sounds rather conspiratorial to me (or jumps in logic).

And

You're full of shit up to your eyebrows. Rand is no fuckin hero... Now Ron, on the other hand is.

I miss

my man Ron, talking in the debates (When he had a chance). Sure was fun drinking beer and eating nachos......Depressing what has come of all this.

look at what we are now

We all ( for the most part) were united during the primaries. Now loook at us. Cannibalistic, back stabbing, and in a full out civil war.

Aw, how sweet

Rand, is taking one for the team.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9XmeqbOFWI

Romney is NOT better than Obama

It will be worse if Romney gets elected b/c then it will be easier to blame Republicans for this mess. It will be better if Obama wins a 2nd term and the problems get worse. The politically ignorant masses will just vote Republican at that point since they will likely associate the economic collapse with Democrats and hope the other side will have a solution that works.

Then maybe Justin Amash, Tom Woods, Napolintano or Schiff will run for president in 2016 and we can get a principled liberty leader in the white house.

Im 34 and have only voted in two primaries\generals (2008\2012) and that was for Ron Paul. Without Ron as the nominee I will either write in Ron Paul, vote for Obama or just stay home. But I am absolutely positive that I will not vote for Romney.

Rand has thrown out so many excuses these last few days but the truth is that he compromised when all the momentum and focus is on heralding these important issues and holding the line no matter how futile it may seem. Rand can say his dad endorsed Newt or Boehner all he wants but when it really mattered Ron did not endorse George W Bush or McCain.

What happened to Principle?

I am still in complete disbelief over the Rand decision. This message also goes out to Ron since there's no question he also orchestrated the decision.

For starters what's up with all the Neocons on here. And Jack Hunter can't eat sh-t!!
Regarding The Pauls what happened to principles? f-ck the party, stand up for what is right. So sad to hear Rand support the corrupt gangster GOP party and the banks.
Its beyond pathetic to see the sellout towards Mitt Romney.
Because Mitt supports The Patriot Act, NDAA, wireless tapping, Internet control, bailouts and stimulus that tells me the Paul family has changed there tone.

Your followers will forever remember the treason of the Paul family! Good luck Rand trying to get votes in 2016. Lmao

SELLOUTS to the banks.

Mjs

blah blah blah

EVUL CORPORATIONS OWN RAND HES A GLOBALIST NWO PUPPET BILDERBERGER BOHMEMIAN GROVE NAZI

blah blah blah

You dont speak for us sane Paul supporters, and we certainly outnumber those of your genre-and a Presidential Candidate Rand would certainly win with or without you and your Infowars thumping crowd.

He's doing the best he can

Give me a F#####g break. Go ahead and vote this down, I am not in a good mood and don't give a s##t.

Jim Rogers

Exactly

Those of us who have been around for quite some time understand how hard it is to get libertarians like Rand in the Senate. Yet these conspiratorial clowns are doing what they usually do-destroying the progress made these past 4 years.

I cant wait for the day that we dont have to deal with these idiots.

Flawed Perception

His entire stance is completely philosophically broken. He is still trying to play the Democrat/Republican game. It's like trying to save a terminally ill patient that has 1 day to live. They will change him before he changes them. It's like a recovering alcoholic going to a bar and trying to get everyone else to stop drinking. That alcoholic is much more likely to start drinking again before he gets the whole bar to stop drinking. The two party system is deeply flawed. If Rand really wants to make a difference he should spearhead a movement to make the libertarian party a major national party on the same level of the dems and repubs. He could carry on his fathers message and have the entire liberty movement (which is growing EXPONENTIALLY) behind him. Freedom is popular. Big government is not. I am afraid that he is going to find himself on the losing side of this war. Time will tell but if I were a betting man I would bet against Rand at this point. The revolution is coming.

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but an irate tireless few keen on setting the brushfire of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

Rand Sounds like 99% of Politicians

Kind of like he likes being a politicians no offense but, lets cut the crap.. and call it what it is
WAR on the 99%

Not selling my soul just to back someone that may win
Evil is Evil and if Rand can't see that, well he just can't.

Kind of seems/sounds like the guy in the white house?

Promised us change and we got Bush III on Steroids.

Now if you like Bush's well its a win win.

If you wanted 99% of the population to have a FAIR chance.. well gone with his. Dad

I haven't given up yet, if I have to I will write
Ron IN.

I do know the difference from Evil and selling out!

LOL I do enjoy listening to him....LOL

Lets get real who has more money, Bank and the Elite .001%
we don't have much of a chance with out some kind of level playing field anyway.

What is fraud except creating “value” from nothing and passing it off as something?

some one on noland chart called it like it seem

Someone on nolanchart.com
Called it

RAND IS A DAMN TRAITOR

and that's a fact ,get over it!!!!!!

Although, I see Rand's

Although, I see Rand's endorsement of Romney as a mistake, the inflammatory rhetoric isn't helpful at all.

Stop attacking Rand

Regardless of the endorsement, he is on our side, and that's a fact.

Let's focus on the real enemy here, please...

I sent Rand what

I can only fairly describe as an insulting email after the endorsement. I now intend to send him an apology email. His work in the Senate is top notch. If we stop supporting every liberty lover in govt because of one false move, ESPECIALLY when that move is an earnest effort to advance the cause of liberty, then we WILL fail. I don't agree with Rands timing, but perhaps he decided that the timing would add more weight to his endorsement and therefore more credibility to his future actions (as relates to the non liberty repubs). We are still to small a contingent in federal govt to expect liberty reps to fight all of our battles. We have to be the ones to take responsibility until such at time as we have a majority that can make sure the local fights (corrupt state parties) don't even happen.

I get it Rand.You are playing

I get it Rand.You are playing the game...but as a veteran I feel a bit stabbed in the back. It's not a game anymore Rand. PEOPLE ARE DYING under the Obama administration. And Romney has made it clear that PEOPLE WILL DIE under his administration. Your dad might support Romney too, but he cares too much for our troops...and he understands that poor foreign policy will destroy this country faster than anything else.

If you are going to play the game to this extent(working to get Romney or even Obama elected), then you can't expect my support.I'm not crazy Rand. I have principles that I paid for in blood and tears. I've lost too many friends and seen too much suffering. Any candidate who supports "The War on Terror" in it's current definition is a direct and imminent threat to liberty.

Anyone making excuses for Rand...

...needs to read this post. Is liberty so cheap to some of you that you'd allow another man to sell yours to some kind of party elite?

You can like Rand. You can vote for Rand. You can be happy about some of the things Rand brings to the humdrum that is the Senate. You'd be remiss, however, if you think you can trust him.

Peter says..

"a problem with one small issue and so I can't support you." THat isn't it.. it isn't one small issue.

It's MANY!

Also, is it just me, or is Rand putting supporters down for "lumping" the other candidates into "good and evil" categories? Isn't that exactly what his dad does ALL the time. And this is why we LOVE HIM!

How many times have I heard Ron say "they're all the same" they all represent the status quo. We learned from HIM.

I am very compassionate to Rand. But he misses the point. We love and follow Ron BECAUSE he HAS NOT compromised!

This isn't like his dad endorsing Newt. He wasn't running against Newt at the time. Rand endorsing Romney at this point goes directly against his Ron. It is DIFFERENT.
