Thread: Ron Paul on the Issues

Rand Paul Joins The Dark Side!



Published on Jun 8, 2012 by TheAlexJonesChannel

Editor's Note: Alex Jones will be covering this issue on today's show. He will also release a special message for Ron Paul tonight.

Rand Paul's decision to endorse Mitt Romney as Republican candidate for President is causing a firestorm of outrage amongst Ron Paul supporters, who are accusing the Kentucky Senator of selling out to the political establishment.

During an appearance on Sean Hannity's Fox News show last night, Rand Paul threw his weight behind the former Massachusetts Governor.

"My first choice had always been my father. I campaigned for him when I was 11-years-old. He's still my first pick," Paul told Hannity. "But now that the nominating process is over, tonight I'm happy to announce that I'm going to be supporting Gov. Mitt Romney."

The Romney campaign quickly shot back with an official press release welcoming the endorsement.

"I am honored to have earned the endorsement of Rand Paul. Senator Paul has been a leading voice in the effort to scale back the size and reach of government and promote liberty. Over the past three and half years, President Obama has made government more and more of a presence in our lives, and Americans can't afford four more years of the same failed policies. As President, I will reform the federal government and make it smaller, simpler, and smarter. I am grateful for Senator Paul's support and look forward to working with him to get America back on the right track."

When asked about signs that Rand Paul was moving closer to Romney after a series of low-key meetings with the former Governor of Massachusetts, Alex Jones pointed out that Paul would be far wiser to wait four years before trying to have an impact on the presidential election.

"I think Rand will destroy himself if he does that," said Jones, adding, "I would advise Rand Paul to refuse it," if he is offered the VP slot by the Romney campaign.

The reaction to Rand Paul's endorsement of Romney on pro-Ron Paul websites has been nothing short of savage. Listed below are just a handful of the thousands of comments attacking Rand for his apparent decision to jump in bed with the Republican establishment.

"Not another penny for Rand! THAT IDIOT! He got himself infected by the Washington, shifting, turning, spinning, compromising, eye shutting WASHINGTON BUG!"

"Son betrayed the father. Looks are perception. Perception is marketing. No kid does this to his father. Rand could have quietly gone to the polls and voted. I can't see it as anything except spineless."

"He was an equivocator from the beginning. He does not have the same commitment to the Constitution. He's feathering his own bed. Now, let him lie in it!"

"This weakens us by making us have to bend to the establishment and compromise our beliefs. Paulistas, we never compromised one hair during this whole journey. Are you willing to begin compromising now?"

"Rand Paul is a pathetic sellout! I just emailed the Campaign For Liberty to let Rand know exactly how I feel. He is a traitor. He has lost my vote in 2016."

Ron Paul, Don't Destroy Yourself




Published on Jun 8, 2012 by TheAlexJonesChannel


And don't destroy the liberty movement you helped build either. That goes double for the junior senator Rand Paul: you can't win by joining the "lesser of two evils," because it is still a submission to evil. The Paul family's grassroots supporters are pleading with them to reverse the betrayal and turn back before a 30 year campaign to revitalize the Constitution and save the Republic is heavily damaged.

Just a reminder of what this campaign is all about.

Dr. Ron Paul speech before the U.S. House of Representatives, May 22, 2007.

The American Republic is in remnant status. The stage is set for our country eventually devolving into a military dictatorship, and few seem to care.
These precedent-setting changes in the law are extremely dangerous and will change American jurisprudence forever if not revised.


The beneficial results of our revolt against the King's abuses are about to be eliminated, and few Members of Congress and few Americans are aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Complacency and fear drive our legislation without any serious objection by our elected leaders.

Sadly, though, those few who do object to this self-evident trend away from personal liberty and empire-building overseas are portrayed as unpatriotic and uncaring...

Closing statement:

Time is short, but our course of action should be clear. Resistance to illegal and unconstitutional usurpation of our rights is required.

Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes.

But let it not be said that we did nothing. Let not those who love the power of the welfare/warfare state label the dissenters of authoritarianism as unpatriotic or uncaring.

Patriotism is more closely linked to dissent than it is to conformity and a blind desire for safety and security.

Understanding the magnificent rewards of a free society makes us unbashful in its promotion, fully realizing that maximum wealth is created and the greatest chance for peace comes from a society respectful of individual liberty.

Senator Rand Paul shocked many supporters yesterday when he endorsed Mitt Romney as a presidential candidate for the upcoming November election. Even though the Kentucky senator said his father, Congressman Ron Paul, would have been his "number one" choice if he won the GOP nomination, many Libertarian leaning conservatives feel betrayed by this endorsement. Lew Rockwell, chairman/CEO of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, joins Abby Martin to find out what stands behind this surprising announcement.
