And this persists, despite the fact that Obama clearly stole the 2008 nomination from Hitlery because he displayed a deep strategy for capturing every unbound delegate that wasn't nailed down.

uh huh. And to those who would tell me that (and I know that you weren't saying it, just that others do) I would say, what is it that I am supposed to be voting for? A black man who is a proven liar, who has spent other people's money like it belonged to him or a white man who will do the very same thing? Tweddledumb and Tweedledumber are not worth voting for, they are both traitors and warmongers. Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.

You knew I was a snake (politician) when you took me in ! (And a FED to boot).

When you're talking about Romney, you're talking about a ruthless ingrate -- a corporate raider who tookover the company of his Bain-benefactor (who had started him in business and financed him), and then fired the man as the reward for his favors. What do you suppose it's worth to Romney to devastate the Ron Paul movement's morale and cohesion through his junior senator son? What do you suppose Rand Paul thinks it was worth to his own career plans to kick his father's movement to the curb as he joined up with Romney's antithetical clique? ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col.

Okay. I surrender to your awesome barrage of annoying cliches. Funning aside, I do get your point.
You better, I got stacks and stacks of People Magazines just sitting here looking at you accusingly!

Well, Rand only endorsed him. He didn't say he'd actually vote for him. Maybe Romney convinced him. The truth is that Romney may have entered politics in a completely unprincipled way, determined to outliberal the libs of Massachusetts, no matter what. He spent a small fortune in a completely hopeless race against Kennedy in the mid-Nineties. Romney's record was not all liberal either. More an efficiency nut but nowhere near as good at it as Mitch Daniels was in Indiana. This is basically bean-counting, job performance and organizational metrics, boring business school stuff. Romney wasn't too bad, Daniels was brilliant. People forget, whatever government we do agree to have should be a quality organization with proper internal performance controls. Anyway, we know that Mittster was lying then (to Massachusetts) or he's lying now (to the rest of us). And we know he's aware of how the GOP turned on his dad for saying we were "brainwashed" over Vietnam (I'd bet money that no lib reporter, however tricky, could ever get Mittster to utter the word "brainwash"). And Ford got primaried from the Right by Reagan who came within a hundred delegates of beating Ford who was still weakened enough to lose to Carter. And he noticed that Bush Senior got primaried from the Right (Buchanan) and then lost for betraying his No New Taxes pledge. So Mittster probably is just as willing to kowtow to us as he was to kowtow to libs. Unless he thinks he can flip us all to liberals (something most of his fellow-Mormons really oppose) and risk us dumping him. And the one Republican most likely to challenge him from the Right in 2016 (almost guaranteed to defeat him for the nomination or the general election) is probably Rand Paul.
They are who I tell you they are. And they want to kill your family in front of you, then gang rape you daughter, then kill her and arrange the weapons to make it seem they were attacking you.

It's easy to criticize Rand but you don't have all that many examples of American government shrinking. It's grown like a cancer rather steadily except for a few brief contractions following major wars or banking failures or the business cycle downturns. Certainly, other than Truman's sharp cutback of government after WW II, there are few examples of American government shrinking at all in the modern era, since WW I. That is essentially, stripped down, an "ends justify the means" argument. "Everybody does it" is no different ethically from "I vas chust followink hoarders". The problem with returning government to its rightful bounds is that Somebody has to do it, and if Nobody does it, then Everybody loses. What did the dormouse say? Something about study hall?

??? Excerpts from: Will Ron Paul's battle transform the party? - Washington Times Communities battle was rejoined in the afternoon breakout session with Congressman Ron Paul. When Paul was introduced, the crowd gave him the rock star welcome anyone following the Republican primary has seen dozens of times. Shouts of “President Paul” and “End the Fed” reverberated throughout the arena. This wasn’t just agreement or support for a candidate’s electability or likeability. [sic] The energy and passion expressed for this old veteran stood in stark contrast to the reception speakers received earlier that day. Once the audience had calmed down, Congressman Paul prefaced his remarks by saying that he had been asked to speak on uniting the party and balancing the budget. Not a strange request given the fact that his fiscal conservatism is almost as well known as the fact that dissension within the Republican Party primarily emanates from the ideas he has championed. But Paul made it clear that he wasn’t going to play ball, or shall we call it what it is - politics. His speech was a virtual litany of the positions that have defined his candidacy, and there was no hint of compromise. Instead, he said, “Unity is important but what do we unify behind? No Child Left Behind? What about uniting around principle, around the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence?” [sic] In fact, there were so many standing ovations during the speech one could hardly keep count. The seats in the arena seemed almost pointless. These people had come ready for battle, and Paul was their champion leading the charge. On issue after issue, the congressman hammered home his message that freedom is the answer, not government, that individual liberties were the basis of a wealthy and prosperous nation, not a welfare state that impoverishes the middle class, decimates the poor and empowers the rich. He said that his positions were often criticized as ideas that would take the country back not forward. His answer was simple. “My ideas do come from the founding fathers. Gold and silver are still legal tender according to the Constitution. But big government, now that, is a very very old idea. There are those who say government is the answer, but they are the past; we are the future.” He concluded his remarks by saying that there was only one message which would unite the Republican Party and that message was freedom.

That is an extremely biased view of Romney's history, of Bain, and of Bain Capital. The founder of Bain was the problem according to industry accounts. Romney had already made his fortune and retired. Lawsuits were flying, the partners and clients were about to lose everything, the founder had gone a little nuts. Romney was the one that all parties agreed to have come and break the logjam that was destroying the company. Mitt came back and hammered out an agreement, one provision of which was that Bain's elderly founder would retire from daily management. Then Bain ended and Bain Capital began, it was Mitt's design for saving the company that had been long engaged in saving other troubled companies. You sound kind of like a DNC talking point email. There are things I don't like in Romney's business record, particularly the insanely high pay he gave to his employees, a practice that spread across Wall Street to these hugely inflated CEO salaries. Romney was very much a part of that very capitalistic style. IOW, the rich traders and MBA guys definitely got a lot richer. Romney does have the worldview of a very high-end corporate type with all the baggage it brings. So, contrary to the usual rants, Romney is nothing like Obama. Or most pols we've seen in a very long time. I do think that Romney will want two terms (his clock was ticking fairly loud even as a one-term governor and he missed his shot in '08). In his first term, Romney will be very cautious with the base and conservative issues, judicial appointments. It is in a second term that Romney would be dangerous.
These arguments grow circular and a little tiresome. People love to rant about the Constitution and the Founders, none more than Ron Paul. But what is often neglected is exactly how the Founders performed once the Constitution was ratified as they became the early congressmen and senators and served as president. Constitutionalism isn't quite so neat once you have politicians and lawyers involved. It's never neat, never pretty.
I'll keep that in mind come November. :) "I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them.

What you are not comparing is Romney's flip flopping term in state executive. He was for mandates and Obamacare and gun control and abortions. He's a consistent flip flopper........like Obama.

But what is often neglected is exactly how the Founders performed once the Constitution was ratified as they became the early congressmen and senators and served as president. Constitutionalism isn't quite so neat once you have politicians and lawyers involved. It's never neat, never pretty. And I never did say it was neat or pretty, but I would like to think that I have fundamental principles which I will not compromise. And though the founding fathers were less than perfect the most ingenious thing about the Constitution was that they recognized that which is why we were to be a nation of laws not of men. Neither does imperfection in man relieve us of trying to live up to and promote the ideals which are fundamental to a free society. There is no such thing as "limited free speech" or "kinda' honest elections". All of these are issues which are old territory in philosophy. The reality is that while we may not achieve absolute perfection striving for an ideal, and defending principles, which serve the greatest good is the basis of a free and just society. To throw up ones hands and say that because men, and women, are less than perfect and therefore we should accept compromise and dilution of fundamental principles is to lose before you begin. Or 'almost' free trade, subject to state approval? "I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them.

I was agreeable to most of all you were saying until you got there. Honestly, isn't it his last name that makes you put so much stock in him as a contender? Surely you can see others more suitable otherwise? Has Mitch Daniels fallen out of favor with you by cavorting with the Bilderbergs? By my observations, Rand Paul hasn't endeared himself to many professed Ron Paul Republicans roundabout besides you with his Romney endorsement. Au contraire. ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC

In his first term, Romney will be very cautious with the base and conservative issues, judicial appointments. It is in a second term that Romney would be dangerous. Can you answer these two questions now? What do you suppose it's worth to Romney to devastate the Ron Paul movement's morale and cohesion through his junior senator son?

Meh. Don't think I'm telling you to vote for the Mormo-American. He leaves a lot to be desired. He's just not Obama. At best, we can assume that Obama will attempt to destroy this country entirely through appointments to the Court since his legislative agenda stalled even with his own party (0 votes in either branch of Congress for his 2013 budget and similar results on his other legislation). Romney might destroy the country but it would be far more likely to occur in a second term as he has good cause to fear the conservative base and a challenger from the Right in 2016. Romney is worrisome in other ways, just not the kind of imminent peril that the Kenyan represents. It's like the quandary of eastern Europe during WW II: who's worse, Hitler or Stalin?
His state's legislature was 85% Kennedy liberal Dems. You think he had much choice on some of these? He says that, once he dragged the state out of deep red ink, the Dems were hellbent on state healthcare. There is considerable evidence that this was true. We do know he is duplicitous though. We have to figure out if he'll stab the libs in the back for us as president just as freely as he stabbed conservatives in the back when he was pandering to the libs of MA to run for Senate or as gov. I still say he would be truly dangerous to conservatives in a second term, not a first. JMO. My decoder ring just isn't up to the job. I still wonder if Romney even knows what he is, other than a guy who just wants to be prez.
A lovely sentiment for a man who was gifted $20 million on his 21st birthday by his gangster-father-gone-legit.
I think they cavorted with him. He retired from Lilly with over $20M and he isn't about the money anyway. I don't go in much for all the Jonesy Bildy stuff because it never seems to amount to anything, despite years of alarmist posts about them. Rich weirdos rubbing shoulders with pols, Hollywood, libmedia. It's hardly their only outlet (CFR, etc.). We'll see. There certainly is a snit going on. But this is about Rand positioning himself in the Senate, not about actually trying to get any RP Republicans to vote for Romney. It would, of course, make Rand's support a little more valuable (not much) if some RP folk actually did vote for Romney, especially in a swing state. But no one is counting on that happening nor should Rand expect any rewards if they do.
ha! If ron paul endroses romney his legacy will be, if not already, relegated to the trashbin of history. right where it deserves to be. and as FL said, his son rand will be known as treaterous filth for all time, by anyone with sense.

When you're talking about Romney, you're talking about a ruthless ingrate -- a corporate raider who tookover the company of his Bain-benefactor (who had started him in business and financed him), and then fired the man as the reward for his favors. What do you suppose it's worth to Romney to devastate the Ron Paul movement's morale and cohesion through his junior senator son? What do you suppose Rand Paul thinks it was worth to his own career plans to kick his father's movement to the curb as he joined up with Romney's antithetical clique? The key point that keeps getting missed is that Rand is a Scofield Zionist - he let that slip early on. That colors all of his thinking and is why he can betray his father to cozy up to Mittens. It is about End Times and I-S-R-A-E-L. Rand by all appearances and comments has a different theological point of view and different beliefs and that one small, superficially, difference makes all the world's difference in what to expect from him in terms of his reactions. As well the son does not speak for the father but for himself only. We'll have to wait and see how Ron handles this. What did he let slip? Rand is no theo-con. And Scofield was dead well before Zionism became any sort of a real movement.
I've begun to welcome this meaningless endorsement by Rand now. Because it will help us weed out the malcontents, the born-losers and the self-appointed generals out of the Liberty movement. Don't let the door hit you in the ass.
What did he let slip? Rand is no theo-con. And Scofield was dead well before Zionism became any sort of a real movement. If you take a close look at Kristyun Zionazism virturally every sect and group that are Kristyun Zionazis are sects that use the Scofield Bible. That is before you get to who funded the convicted felon Scofield i.e., the Rothshchilds. And Zionism was alive and kicking at the time of publication of the original Scofield Reference Bible (further revised in 1967) Here's an excerpt that is very "illuminative": "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." -- Matthew 7:20 "At the outbreak of the American Civil War, Cyrus I. Scofield (1843-1921), a Michigan native, lied about his age in order to enlist in the Confederate Army in 1861, where he served in the 7th Tennessee infantry for a year. In 1866 he married a Roman Catholic girl named Leontine Cerre. They had two girls, Abigail and Helene. According to sweetliberty.org (3), as a young con-artist in Kansas after the Civil War, Scofield met up with John J. Ingalls, an aging Jewish lawyer/senator. Pulling strings both in Kansas and with his compatriots back east, Ingalls assisted Scofield in gaining admission to the Bar and procured his appointment as the federal attorney for Kansas. Scofield committed perjury when he took his oath, stating that he had never voluntarily borne arms against the United States. He was forced to resign after six months because of questionable financial transactions. By 1877, Scofield was making a living on swindles and schemes and writing bogus checks. Ingalls and Scofield became partners in a railroad scam which led to Scofield serving time for criminal forgery. In 1879, while he was in prison, a group of Christian women who had a jail ministry witnessed to Scofield and he made a profession of faith in Christ. He then began to study the writings of John Darby and embraced Darby’s theology about the rapture and the need for Jews to resettle the land of Israel Upon his release from the prison, Scofield began to work in the evangelical campaign of D. L. Moody. In 1879, Scofield became acting secretary of the YMCA and was licensed to preach in 1880. (4) Torell (3) stated he believes that Ingalls informed his Jewish peers that Scofield would be the perfect candidate to develop and penetrate fundamental Christian churches and denominations. All it would take was the right "handlers" and cash. At this time Scofield "happened to be in the one city" singled out by Darby for "planting the seed" of his "special brand of Bible teaching," and they met. Then on November 6, 1879, a criminal case against Scofield was dismissed in an Appeals Court. In 1877, Scofield had deserted his first wife and his two daughters and left them destitute. According Wikipedia, this was "perhaps because of alcoholism," but Joseph Canfield (3) asserts: "The very sudden quashing of the criminal charges without proper adjudication suggests that Scofield’s career was in the hands of someone who had clout never available to either Ingalls, Pomeroy, or anyone of the Choteau Clan. But, the career was to be of such a nature that Leontine, the Catholic wife, had to go." Scofield then took as his mistress a young girl from the St. Louis Flower Mission. He later abandoned her for Hettie Hall von Wartz whom he married in 1884. Leontine filed for divorce in 1881, finalized in 1883, listing "abandonment" as a reason. The apostle Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 3:2-4: "A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre….One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity." Scofield’s supporters kept his background secret for a long time in order to make him a licensed minister of the Gospel. The only biography his life is a collection of "Sunday School" articles by Charles G. Trumbull. Published into a book, The Life Story of C.I. Scofield in 1920 by the Oxford Press, it is the official "white wash" to clean up Scofield for future generations. It contains many inaccuracies, including a "conversion" story that happens, not in jail, but at a law office that did not even exist at the time. The Scofield Reference Bible In 1895 Scofield was asked to be a pastor at one of Moody’s churches in Northfield, MA. By now he had built up a "clean" reputation and was ready to be moved there to larger work. He seemed to have access to money above what he earned as a minister; his backers included New York Jewish lawyer Samuel Untermeyer and Union 76 oil baron Lyman Stewart. In 1901, Scofield was offered a membership in the Lotus Club of New York, a prestigious club in the literary circles of the United States catering to non-Christians. This was a club in which one had to be invited and have a sponsor. He settled there and listed it as his residence for the next 20 years. It was here that he presented his ideas for a new Christian Bible concordance, and was taken under the wing of Untermeyer (1858-1941)—a criminal attorney well known for his political connections, bribery and for being a fanatical Zionist agent of the Rothschild banking cartel. Untermeyer introduced Scofield to numerous Zionist and socialist leaders, including Samuel Gompers, Fiorello LaGuardia, Abraham Straus, Bernard Baruch and Jacob Schiff. These people financed Scofield’s research trips to Oxford and arranged for the publication and distribution of his concordance. One of Scofield’s first moves in producing his reference Bible was to take a trip to the British Isles for research. He immediately sought out the controversial scholars Westcott and Hort in London. Hailed as Bible scholars, both men were very active in occult rituals. Westcott had formed a secret club called "Hermes," noted for aggressive homosexual activities between its members. In 1851, Hort and Westcott also started the Ghost Society, which was first billed as the study of spiritual events, but in time it became more of a séance group. Its members included Arthur Balfour who, in 1917, bequeathed Palestine to the Rothschilds as "a national home for the Jewish people." The following passage is from page two of the Introduction to the 1945 edition of the Scofield Bible: "….The discovery of the Sinaitic MS, and the labours in the field of textual criticism of such scholars as…..Westcott and Hort, have cleared the Greek Textus Receptus of minor inaccuracies….." The comment memorializes Scofield’s reliance on Wescott and Hort and explains Scofield’s justification for tampering with the word of God. And the reason is… "Why would a wealthy German Jew like Untermeyer living in America sponsor Scofield and spend money on a man who was working on a new Bible translation and preaching Jesus Christ?" Torell asked. Jewish leaders long ago recognized the bonanza for them if they could force the teaching of an imminent rapture on Christians and move them to abandon their moral hold on society. Darby was financially supported and Scofield, Darby’s successor, could make this teaching central in all Christian churches. Removal of Christians from politics and public schools would leave the door open for Jewish writers and political leaders to move in and remove the Bible and prayer from public schools and political institutions. The ACLU is a Jewish organization, having only a few Gentiles in it for window dressing, he stated. In 1907, the International Zionist movement had its "payday" when, after some 120 years they were finally able to have a document produced that would forever change the theology of Christian churches around the world so that, in time, believers in Christ would be transformed into Christian Zionists. Even though they had to "pay good money" to further the cause of fundamentalism, it was worth it to them because the fundamentalists would be led like a bull with a ring in his nose in the direction the Jewish masters wanted them to go. Forty-one years later, the political state of Israel came into existence. "Without the Scofield Bible, it never would have happened," Torell said." I call foul.........you post 99 and then swoop in for 100. I've been duped again. AAARRRGGG! I don't like dirty tricks, Pilgrim. : ) " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes.

Oh well, you snooze, you lose. Not bad until he started going talking about the Holohoax. I get really tired of that "event" being given more credibility in things not even slightly related to the damn thing. Let's put things in perspective. Rand is not Ron, and him endorsing Romney in no way means he agrees with him on everything, just that he prefers him over Obama. He said clearly his first choice was his father, so he obviously doesn't agree with Romney on most issues, just enough to choose him over Obama. He still shouldn't have done it, but it is not quite the big deal people are making it out to be. What bothers me more about Rand is his vote for economic sanctions against Iran. That really bothers me because there he took a stand and it was a stand for war against a nation that is no threat to us, and is no threat to Israel. I also did not like him saying that Israel is our friend and we will stand by Israel. Please! A friend doesn't bomb your ship trying to sink it and blow up the WTC towers to get you to fight for them. Israel and Talmudic following Jews, which is most of them, are no friends of the USA and Christians. God is always good!
You? What about me? He led me down the garden path, slowly building the post count, just to swoop in and grab the brass ring. I feel so used.
liberty-minded people by nature tend to be individualists, this arent drawn to groupthink. It doesnt really matter if anyone disagrees about rand, to each hs own.
"Even to the death fight for truth, and the LORD your God will battle for you". Sirach 4:28
Rugged individualism is just fine. But you have to operate with group cohesion to prevail against both major political factions (the rival crime families of the District of Criminals). Keep your eyes on the ball and consider the war, not just the current battle.

I sometimes suspect some of you aren't actually Ron Paul supporters because the ones that I know already are aware of the differences in state parties, elections, delegates, etc. 4um has a lot of opinions about Ron Paul but they rarely exhibit the kind of knowledge I expect to see among the hardcore Ron Paul cadre.

Neither does imperfection in man relieve us of trying to live up to and promote the ideals which are fundamental to a free society. There is no such thing as "limited free speech" or "kinda' honest elections".

the one Republican most likely to challenge [Mittster] from the Right in 2016 (almost guaranteed to defeat him for the nomination or the general election) is probably Rand Paul.

People love to rant about the Constitution and the Founders, none more than Ron Paul. But what is often neglected is exactly how the Founders performed once the Constitution was ratified as they became the early congressmen and senators and served as president.

I'll keep that in mind come November.

What you are not comparing is Romney's flip flopping term in state executive. He was for mandates and Obamacare and gun control and abortions. He's a consistent flip flopper........like Obama.

Has Mitch Daniels fallen out of favor with you by cavorting with the Bilderbergs?
By my observations, Rand Paul hasn't endeared himself to many professed Ron Paul Republicans roundabout besides you with his Romney endorsement.

and one more thing...how is it after all the criticism of Romney heretofore can the Pauls suddenly do a 180 and endorse him (assuming Ron plans to also)? that to me is an abandonment of his principles

what is the endorsement of the junior senator of 2 years worth to Romney.

The key point that keeps getting missed is that Rand is a Scofield Zionist - he let that slip early on.
#98. To: Artisan (#94)
ha! If ron paul endroses romney his legacy will be, if not already, relegated to the trashbin of history. right where it deserves to be. and as FL said, his son rand will be known as treaterous filth for all time, by anyone with sense.
