(Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call File Photo) Updated: 11:02 p.m.| Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney said this afternoon that he is “honored” to be endorsed by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). Paul’s father, Rep. Ron Paul (Texas), had run for the Republican presidential nomination against Romney in 2008 and this election cycle, but he essentially conceded the race in an email to supporters today. “When it is all said and done, we will likely have as many as 500 supporters as delegates on the convention floor,” he wrote, according to the Houston Chronicle. “That is just over 20 percent! And while this total is not enough to win the nomination, it puts us in a tremendous position to grow our movement and shape the future of the GOP!” In response to Sen. Paul’s endorsement, Romney praised his record. “Sen. Paul has been a leading voice in the effort to scale back the size and reach of government and promote liberty,” he said, adding that he looks forward to “working with him to get America back on the right track.” Sen. Paul, himself, is widely thought to harbor ambitions for higher office. “The assumption throughout the political community in Kentucky is that he’s a one-term Senator who is running for president in 2016,” said a Republican consultant deeply familiar with Kentucky.

Smart move by Rand. He didn't alienate the Republican base like his father did. Much smarter politically then Ron.
Bullshit. He dishonors his father. He'll pay a heavy price for that treachery. I find it ironic, that I support Rand Paul's dad, more than he does. What a sad charade our elections have become. How pathetic. That you would try to white-wash this, makes me ask the logical question: Exactly whose side are you on, anyway???
Ron Paul already said he doesn't have the delegates. He said this prior to Rand endorsing Romney. Rand Paul is smarter then his dad. Ron Paul couldn't even get behind constitutional amendment to ban abortion.
That will be the day. He just threw away any cred he had, to endorse the neocon candidate. You never win by striking a bargain with the devil... That's just common sense. Classic straw-man argument. Bottom line: you're grasping at straws to rationalize betrayal. You demonstrate with an uncommon clarity, why this country is doomed. The elitists lie to your face, shit on you, and you justify it... Why? Because you lack the one weapon which would make all the difference: courage. That so many other Americans are so weak and feckless as you, disgusts me. Coward.
Classic straw-man argument. It is true. Why wouldn't anyone who is sane not support constitutinal amendment banning abortion. Is it murder or not. If it is then Ron Pauls position is some states should be allowed to murder their citizens. Also Ron Paul saying Heroin or crack should be legal is just stupid. Those are losing issues and it is why Ron Paul never really caught on with the majority of Americans. The truth is never a straw man.
So you think the government should be able to tell you what to do with your own body...I guess you support the ban on soda drinks in New York...next? maybe fast food, salty foods, fatty foods, supplements, vitamins, aspirin or coffee. You see...once you accept the fact government can tell you what you can do with YOUR body, it ceases to belong to YOU...it belongs to THEM. They can't even keep drugs out of prisons...how do you think they can keep them off the streets. Are you for the criminalization of alcohol...it does FAR more damage to society and families than ALL OTHER DRUGS COMBINED. What about the 30% of Americans that a hooked on PERSCRIPTION drugs...is it all OK because the doctors say so...as big pharma makes BILLIONS!
BINGO. You see, Stone is actually OK with the police-state telling you what you can't do with your body. Of course, if the state has such power, it always ends up being exercised in the opposite direction from what was intended... Look at China, for example, with forced abortions. Interestingly, Stone fails to see that the government which has such power never uses such power to help the people, only hurt them.
BINGO. From the satanic bible. Do as thou wilt.
My GOD is Yahweh, my savior is Jesus, the christ... yours, apparently, is government. Your body may belong to the state...mine does not.
When you put certain things in your body you don't act the same. You can kill people when you use certain substances. You can support crack for 8 year olds. I don't and never will.
Killing someone IS a crime and a violation of someones most basic rights...the right to life. I don't, and never will, support crack for 8 years old...but I'm not 8, and I don't need government telling me what I can do with the body GOD gave ME...it's mine, not the governments. I'm sure, when the time comes, for government wanting to "chip" their property, you'll apparently be first in line.
Making crack and Heroin illegal is not anything close to the mark of the Beast which I will never receive. The mark is an allegience to the antichrist. Satan is for Heroin beling legal. Think about that. Bath Salts make you eat human beings. It makes you insane. I guess that is a right you have according to you. I appreciate your argument and I know where you are coming from. I have some of the same sentiments and I have made some of the same arguments in the past. I posted lots of articles critical of Romeny. I have even considered and still consider not voting for him. I don't like him. But I HATE Obama. What are you going to do in a few years when Obama owns the supreme court and he never leaves? Are you going to think back and wonder if it might have been different if we took a different path. I know you think the paths are the same. But they are not. They will vote differently on lots of different things. They will put different people on the Supreme court. They are two very different paths. Especially for domestic issues. So I am not your enemy. I respect your thinking that goes into your position. But I have kids. Maybe you do too. If Obama go re elected and I didnt do what I could to get rid of that parasite. I think I would regret it. If Obama gets re elected you will wonder too.
1) Making crack and Heroin illegal is not anything close to the mark of the Beast which I will never receive.......A government that is large enough to force you NOT to do something is large enough to force you TO do something...you apparently like the force of government. 2) The mark is an allegience to the antichrist. Satan is for Heroin beling legal. Think about that......yes it is and he will come riding into power on the world government that the "globalist", TPTB and Romney, you are in full support of. Please tell me GOD said "turn to government" for your problems......no, Satan is going to use the power that you "statist" give him, to slaughter millions. 3) Bath Salts make you eat human beings. It makes you insane. I guess that is a right you have according to you.... yes, you have that right. You also have the right and responsibility to shot someone eating on your face. YOUR safety is YOUR responsibility..... there ARE crazy people out there. Freedom and responsibility for yourself go hand in hand. 4) I know you think the paths are the same. But they are not. They will vote differently on lots of different things. They will put different people on the Supreme court. They are two very different paths...... No he won't.....the same globalists that own and control the Kenyan, own and control Romney...it's to bad you don't see this. Our responsibility is to do "right", the outcome is GODS...Romney is a tool of some very evil people...and a liar. My GOD says liars are the tools of Satan...why would you support a liar? 5) But I have kids. Maybe you do too. If Obama go re elected and I didnt do what I could to get rid of that parasite. I think I would regret it. If Obama gets re elected you will wonder too..... No, I won't, the globalist plan will move forward just as GOD has told us...I just won't support it, apparently you will.
