The following video from 2008 shows Ron Paul at his finest, explaining that endorsing a candidate you do not believe in just because they are the best of a bad bunch is not the way the American people are going to restore their country to a sound political footing. "Half the people who vote for a president end up voting for the lesser of two evils." the Congressman notes. Paul explains that he had received a phone call from John McCain's campaign requesting that he endorse McCain, who went on to become the eventual GOP nominee. "I don't like the idea of having two or three million people angry at me." Paul continues, adding "The argument was he would do a little less harm than the other candidates." "We just don't need to do that anymore" If you ever come to a point where you believe that the two parties are essentially the same, and the majority is outside the establishment, then it's not very democratic. The process isn't working.61; The Congressman urges. Paul then goes on to talk about Carroll Quigley, the historian who exposed the machinations of several secretive elitist control groups, Such as the Council On Foreign Relations, in his book Tragedy and Hope. "The important thing about Quigley was that he claims he was on the inside and did part of the planning." Paul notes. The Congressman then reads a quote from Quigley expressing the notion that both parties have become coopted by the same special interests, that they should be rejected and the majority should form a third movement going forward if any real change is to come about. Watch the video: The sentiments and principles expressed in this speech by Ron Paul highlight exactly why so many are upset and downright angry over Rand Paul's recent endorsement of Mitt Romey, and see it as a betrayal or a compromise of integrity. Though Ron Paul himself has not endorsed Romney, it is clear that Rand's endorsement was closely coordinated with his father. Rand Paul explained this week that his endorsement of Romney was part of his attempt to work within the system to bring about change. However, as his father succinctly states in the speech from four years ago, the system is completely antithetical to change. The system is rigged to make sure the status quo is NEVER effectively challenged. Congressman Paul, we implore you, it is not too late to reverse the damage that has been done. Listen to your own powerful words from four years ago. Listen to the Ron Paul of 2008, and truly cement your legacy as one of the founders of the modern liberty movement.

I'm not sure that Ron could do anything about it. I was upset at Rand's endorsement also, but I have come to realize that it might just be better to have Rand on the inside and Ron and CFL on the outside. Why not have 2 fronts instead of 1? Anyway, it's done now and only time will tell.
"If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave." Samuel Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772
During an interview on Alex Jones' Nightly News, Pastor Chuck Baldwin concisely dissected Rand Paul's endorsement of establishment candidate Mitt Romney and gauged its negative impact on the Ron Paul revolution. Dr. Baldwin said attacks on our precious constitutional liberties and the implementation of an Orwellian high-tech surveillance state can be directly attributed to the foreign policy decisions of the global elite and their ruling political establishment. Ron Paul consistently opposed this foreign policy agenda on constitutional grounds. Rand Paul's endorsement of a man who would continue and expand this agenda – as Obama continued and expanded directives handed down to Bush – represents a serious and possibly fatal blow to Ron Paul's long and unwavering attempt to rekindle the republic and its core principles enshrined in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Baldwin underscores a prescient fact: Rand Paul's endorsement of Romney translates into direct support for the neocon foreign policy agenda of war waged against Syria and Iran. It signals that the younger Paul will support a destructive and limitless war waged against manufactured enemies. Rand Paul will also accept and work to implement the police state at home that is a closely related and necessary corollary of the war on terror. His endorsement is at its very core a betrayal of Ron Paul's legacy and his attempt to restore the republic. It downgrades if not wrecks the Paul name as a standard bearer for liberty. Rand's endorsement destroys any hope that he will step up and continue his father's long and determined battle now that the elder Paul is winding down his congressional career. As Baldwin points out, Rand Paul is in the back pocket of the establishment. Like virtually every other member of Congress, he will be used as a prop in an ongoing war of evil and destruction that will ultimately destroy America. During the unconstitutional and immoral invasion of Iraq, Obama’s predecessor dismissed the antiwar movement as little more than a focus group. The establishment media lampooned millions of Americans as childish and hopelessly naïve as it pushed the neocon lie that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, an assertion that was obviously fallacious from the start. Congress embraced that murderous – the murder of 1.5 million Iraqis – lie and enthusiastically supported Bush's wars. Rand will do the same as the globalists relentlessly drive to realize order out of chaos and mass murder. Rand Paul has negated any hope that he will fill the space left void by his father. He is now but another cog in the establishment's machine of political deception and duplicity. It is up to those of us who cherish liberty and have consistently championed Ron Paul's message to keep the revolution and alive. Finally, it should be noted that in 2008 Ron Paul endorsed Chuck Baldwin for president after Bob Barr refused to join a liberty-minded third party alliance. If Dr. Paul continues to support the movement back to a constitutional republic despite his son embracing the Republican Party, why hasn't he endorsed Gary Johnson, the presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party?
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Congressman Paul, we implore you, it is not too late to reverse the damage that has been done.
