Government

Sen. Rand Paul Endorses Mitt Romney

Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul went on Fox’s “The Sean Hannity Show” Thursday night to endorse former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

“First of all, before you say what I think you’re going to say, did you check in with your congressman father?” Hannity asked in reference to Sen. Paul’s father, Texas Congressman and former GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul.

“Well, you know, my first choice had always been my father. I campaigned for him when I was 11-years old. He’s still my first pick. But you know, now that the nominating process is over, tonight I’m happy to announce I’m going to be supporting Governor Romney,” the Kentucky Senator replied.

“Tell me why you’re supporting Governor Romney,” Hannity said.

“Governor Romney and I actually have quite a few similarities,” Sen. Paul replied, stressing their similar political histories (Romney’s father also ran for president) and family values.

Sen. Paul continued:

I met with him recently. I had about a 30 minute meeting with him…and we talked about a lot of issues.
[…]
We talked issues, frankly, that are very important to me, that are important to my dad, and to many of his followers. And many of these Gov. Romney has already taken a position on. One of the big issues for our supporters, for myself, and my dad is auditing the Fed. We think there needs to be more transparency to the Fed and more oversight by Congress. This is something Gov. Romney was supportive of throughout his campaign and also was supportive of in private to me.

We talked about other issues that are important to my dad’s followers. My dad has a legion of young followers who are on the Internet and they think they rule the Internet (maybe they do, maybe they don’t), but they’re very concerned about the freedom of the internet. There’s been legislation recently, SOPA, that Gov. Romney came out in the debates and was opposed to this SOPA which would take away some of the process of ownership on the Internet and we were very afraid that it would limit internet freedom and Gov. Romney is right there with us on those issues also.

So I think there’s a lot of kinship on those issues.

“When it comes to fiscal responsibility, Obamacare, there are vast differences here,” Hannity said in reference to Gov. Romney’s political spending versus President Obama’s, “Do you think this country can survive four more years of Obama?”

“No,” Sen. Paul replied, “My state is really suffering. We stand to lose 50,000 jobs in the coal industry if President Obama continues. I think one thing Gov. Romney would make as a president is he would bring a more balanced approach to regulation.”

“We’re going to have some regulations. Some regulation actually protects the environment. But President Obama has allowed the tilt and the balance to go so far that he’s crushing the economy down, crushing jobs,” he added.

Sen. Paul went on to say that he plans on stumping for Romney and that he believes the former Massachusetts Governor will make a very sober and responsible Commander-in-Chief.

    At least with Romney you are getting closer to your vision.
    ================================================

    How do you figure that??:

    Candidate Comparison: Top Contributors 2012 Cycle
    Mitt Romney:

    Goldman Sachs $573,080
    JPMorgan Chase & Co $415,075
    Bank of America $398,850
    Morgan Stanley $373,850
    Credit Suisse Group $317,410

    KID, How many jobs do you want created? How much MORE DEBT do you want? Ron Paul and Gary would take the money if it was offered to them. They need it to win. Since they cant win, they can run around and say anything they want. You vote for Johnson or Ron Paul and its a vote for Obama. Your best chance of getting something done is the Teaparty. In two years, the Teaparty has elected more candidate than either libertarian or other third party. And other republicans vote with them. They are not a stand alone third party. You guys dont get it. You either bug republicans to get it done or you lose, period. Democrats and Republicans want TWO different Americas. Being an independent means you dont care about winning. If you are not winning you are LOSING. GROW UP! Maybe Rand Paul knows something you do not. And thats not hard to achieve.

      Romney just expressed his support the other day for the idea of providing weapons and money to the Al-Qaeda rebels that are trying to take over Syria right now:

      ————————-
      “Mitt Romney urges US to arm Syrian rebels, lead effort to oust Bashar Assad
      05/29/2012 4:06 PM

      By Callum Borchers, Globe Correspondent

      Mitt Romney has renewed his call for the United States to arm Syrians rebelling against the regime of Bashar Assad, after more than 100 people were massacred in the village of Houla last Friday.”
      http://www.boston.com/politicalintelligence/2012/05/29/mitt-romney-urges-arm-syrian-rebels-lead-effort-oust-bashar-assad/8ASReNmBrMHqY1DpUz2bWN/story.html

      “Back in mid-February, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper warned that al-Qaeda had “infiltrated” the Syrian opposition. At roughly the same time, videos began emerging on the internet that clearly revealed just what an understatement–to put it mildly–Clapper’s observation represented. The videos show Syrian rebel brigades proudly posing with the al-Qaeda flag and protestors holding it high. This was not a matter of “infiltration,” with the word’s connotations of stealth and cunning, but rather of an openly publicized affiliation.”

      I don’t know about you, but I don’t think that this is even remotely a good idea!!

      2. The REAL Tea Party HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LEFTIST REPUBLICAN PARTY. The “tsunami of 2012” was a COMPLETE TEA PARTY FAILURE and ONLY ELECTED MORE LEFTIST REPUBLICANS… and gave us MORE unconstitutional “Patriot” Act, unconstitutional NDAA, another 2 years of AMNESTY, debt ceiling HIKES, CR, CR, CR, EXTENDED unconstitutional unemployment, MORE NATION-BUILDING, etc. etc.

      Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
      Albert Einstein

      And the GOP thinks we are the nutty ones. Your the ones that try the same thing over and over.
      Same garbage candidate over and over.

      Romney = Obama
      That is if we can keep track of the flips and the flops.
      Next week he might not equal but as of right now his legislation is pretty close.

      Romney:
      NDAA
      TARP
      Assault rifle ban
      Lowered taxes while raising every fee the local government had their hands on
      U.N.
      Romneycare
      WAR

      And yet us Constitutional Paulbots are nutty.
      What agencies has Romney said he would cut from federal hands?
      What regulations go back to the states? Anything?
      What about the tax code? Anything?
      Is he pro-life now? Thats one he’s flipped on a few times. I’m not sure if he is currently on the flip or the flop.
      What about the federal reserve? Pretty sure he stated he sees no issue with it. Oh, unless he just doesn’t want it known. He did talk with Rand about it apparently but why not let us know exactly where he stands?
      Yeah, retort your crap about me being crazy for asking the Constitutional questions.
      Don’t even look at the questions, just tell me i’m insane for being pissed off about working almost 5 months out of the year for the government. I’m crazy for wanting accountable leadership!
      I’m crazy for wanting the people who are deemed worthy to rule over me to follow the law of the land.

      It Just doesn’t make sense why people support Romney. Tell me how this man is conservative? He supports the NDAA which lets them Kill you or throw you in prison for life just being suspected of terrorism. He supports HR-347, which diminishes your Freedom of Speech. He Supports more wars which cost money we do not have right now. He Supports bail outs which we were all against Obama for. He supports the Federal which all you BeckBots were told from the all mighty Beck is bad news. I haven’t heard Romney talk about getting rid of the EPA, or even fix the TSA. What do Republicans see in this man has me greatly lost but if that is what you want expect more of the worse to happen.

Did you guys just not see the change in Glenn after his somewhat secret meeting with a George Soros Rep? Glenn before meeting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWi4aRht3Ms&feature=watch_response

      After the meeting, he started going along with the establishment that Ron Paul was crazy. Why??

      I take it that, even with the battles we have done back and forth on Paul vs. Romney, you do not get the feeling that something is wrong here? You think that there is no such thing as election fraud from the establishment from both sides (since they are pretty much the same anymore) parties? You guys are smarter than that I know it. I have been blogging with all of you for quite some time. Are you just going to sit back and take it knowing that you are being deceived? I do not know what to say anymore.

      For me it is more simple. If the GOP wanted my vote, they would have given me someone. The founders predicted a two party system would lead to bank control of government. It is exactly what happened. I disagree with Rand Paul. While Romney may be better than O on some issues, he is worse on others. I am glad Rand endorsed Romney, as now I know who Rand is at his core. I have voted for 40 years now, and wasted my presidential vote every time. I will never again waste my vote on any evil candidate. I repent of the vile votes I cast for both the GOP and the D Parties. Better not to vote if there is no third party.

      Winning the candidate while losing our Constitution to big government is not winning, IMO. Romney‘s policies are every bit as Progressive as are Obama’s when it comes to foreign policy, big government, socialized health care, gun bans, etc…… . Romney will be lying when he takes his Presidential oath of office to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States from enemies both foreign and domestic.

      Romney didn’t see the crash of 2008 coming and he has not addressed our spending, national debt, or monetary system (Federal Reserve’s control of currency) in any meaningful way. Romney is just another New World Order puppet. He supports the transition from sovereign nation states to global corporatacracy.

I know that may hurt, but if you are really for the restoration of this country you would first start with promoting the best option to do that. Otherwise, I think you are just writing here at the Blaze to try to divide the conservative movement. Certainly your posts would indicate that.

      LOL, I used to think you PaulBots were on to something. I actually thought you guys cared about America…I was/am wrong. You are a bunch of misfit losers and you give all Libertarians/Constitutional conservatives a bad name.

      For all you know, Ron Paul is just as much a totalitarian as the rest of them he just has a different vehicle he wants driven over the cliff. You demonize these people so heavily but it is IMPOSSIBLE that every single one of the Republicans in Washington (ESPECIALLY those that have only been there a few years) are setting us all up for this global power grab, NWO crap. You can safely assume that ALL the Dems are not very bright and that MOST of them actually do have bad intentions (socialism and the like), but not the majority of Republicans. Of course there are bad people everywhere but many of these folks honestly want to do whats best for the nation and it isnt always easy to know what that is. I‘m betting if any of you geniuses were in Congress you might vote for something from time to time that you regret or didn’t quite jive with you convictions.

      The thought that Romney is an actual PROGRESSIVE is laughable. He may not be as hard core as YOU want, but that is why you all look like fools talking about him the way you do.

    If the LEFTIST republican party successfully cheats the Doc out, like they did in 08… they will have just reelected Obama.

You stomp your feet and cry all you want, don’t vote or vote for somebody who has no chance and you will have voted for Obama and if Obama stays, things will get very bad and you’ll deserve every bit of pain and suffering that ensues.

If Ron Paul directly tells his supporters to vote for Romney for the good of the country knowing that the restoration will take more time, would you do it? Dr. Paul knows he can’t win the election although he has certainly set the stage for a return to our founding. If he clearly explains why and clearly tells his supporters to vote for Romney, would you?

But even he knows that he can’t make it happen in this country in the next election cycle. The founders weren’t able to convince the people to go to war with Britain for several years. Drastic, necessary change takes time. Dr. Paul’s letter reflected the number of delegates he did win which will continue to advance the liberty we all believe in. By no means was Romney my first choice but I am surely not going to write in a name that has no chance of actually winning.

      Thanks ASHES. I know Romney was chosen for the GOP 4 years ago and We the People had precious little input in the decision. I don’t like it either and will be no happier to vote for Romney than I was for McCain. But, the Conservative movement is gaining as seen with Rand Paul, Allen West, Marco Rubio, Gov. Walker, etc. Ron Paul mentioned that a very significant 20% of the delegates at the convention support his stance. While Romney is certainly no prize, you have to admit he is certainly better than 0bama. He is and will continue to listen to the 20% and gaining input of the Ron Paul supporters. With 0bama, you can be sure you will have no voice.

    Ron Paul supporters – please take a minute to think about it without being emotional and reactionary. If you really want to make a difference, you first have to change the trajectory of where things are going. If you vote for a third party or stay home on Nov 6th, you have essentially placed your vote with Obama. At least with Romney you are getting closer to your vision. You are not going to get results overnight. It is usually a slow process that can take a couple of election cycles. But with a good and respectable message and organization, in the next few years you will come to see the fruits of your work. If you keep having temper tantrums of Ron Paul or no one – you will find that in the next few years your agenda will not have advanced and your message will not resonate at all. Surprise us all and respond with something other than the old tired rhetoric we’ve been hearing.

      A democrat president with a republican house or senate = stagnation, because their whole job at that point is to make the president look bad so they are voted out in the next election. The same goes for a republican president and a democrat house/senate.

      So they wind up bypassing congress and doing whatever they want while stripping our liberty from us by ignoring the constitution.

      So, the dream is –for me– to get a republican president and a republican house/senate…because they will work together and get stuff done with little to no gridlock.

      So what will happen with a libertarian president? Guaranteed gridlock & stagnation from both the republicans & democrats.

      A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for either Obama…or a wasted 4 years…and brother, we don’t have any more time to waste.

      When the republicans had president AND congress, spending exploded, the deficit increased, the constitution was ignored, and the federal government expanded – nevermind the whole housing bubble thing. Were those great years? Until the republicans get their act together (McConnell and Boehner are NOT GOING TO CUT IT), the best we can hope for is gridlock. During gridlock, the federal government is not growing and not tearing apart the constitution

      So, the dream is –for me– to get a republican president and a republican house/senate…because they will work together and get stuff done with little to no gridlock.
      =========================================================

      Oh……they will get stuff done alright:

      ———————————————————
      “Divided government gets less done (always a good thing in Washington). The Cato Institute’s William Niskanen points out that in the last 50 years, the only two periods of extended fiscal restraint from the federal government came during the Eisenhower and Clinton administrations, both under divided government. The two eras when government expanded were the Kennedy/Johnson administration, and the current administration, both under united government. Note that party affiliation really doesn’t factor into the equation. A government that can’t pass laws can’t spend money. It can’t raise taxes. It can’t create new federal agencies or benefits.”

      Allow me to amend this by adding that it took the socialists and progressives nearly 100 long years of patiently eroding this country to get it to where it is today. No one person, Ron Paul included, is capable of undoing all of that alone. I don‘t know about anyone else but I’m certainly not planning on betting the fate of the nation on a single election. Even if Paul wins that only buys us four years during which every leftist media outlet and politician will attempt to destroy him. Paul alone won’t fix the MSM nor will he get rid of the indoctrination in high schools.

      But listening to some of you Paulbots, I get the impression that if Ron Paul did somehow become President you would expect him to fix the country while you sat around and did nothing. How is that any different than the entitlement mentality that caused much of this mess? Sure you are smart enough to realize that entitlement programs are actually a disservice but beyond that you are still stuck looking to government to solve everything. So to all you Paulbots out there, what is it that you personally are doing to fix the country? What actions are you yourselves taking? And if Paul were to become President, how would you assist him in helping this country?

      @TZION I beg your pardon..Paul would have fixed even the indoctrination in schools by eliminating the Dept of Education that Newt Gingrich worked so hard to establish..Ron Paul was going to eliminate 5 of those Communist NWO Departments like EPA which works to relieve us of private property..He would have eliminated the Dept of Homeland Security which has been fronting weapons to Hezbollah and fought Arizona over trying to keep illegals out.. Ron Paul would have had us debt free in 3 yrs.. If you watch the first video I posted to Mom Rules..It tells that the Federal Reserve started the war of 1812 to run the debt so high that we would be forced to take them on.. Now if you watch the second video I posted to Mom..you will see similar tactics..

      Nice try but these vocal Paulbots aren’t listening. After Rand endorsed Romney this afternoon, he said that most Paul conservatives would vote Romney but gaining support from the Paul independents (assume he’s referring to the so called strict constitutionalists) would be problematic. Rand has been a staunch supporter of his dad for decades but he clearly understands the current priority is assembling a unified front against this administration. Nice to know there are some rational Paulies out there.

      1. The MSM shouldn’t be “fixed” by a President. It will either implode, remain the same or remake itself based on market forces.
      2. Should Ron Paul become President us “Paulbots” would not sit around. We haven‘t been sitting around when he wasn’t the POTUS. I’m not sure how you drew the entitlement analogy. It seems to be a bit of pretzel logic to me.
      3. I can’t speak for all “Paulbots” but all I would look to RP to do is to begin dismantling the huge bureaucracy that has developed in DC so that our liberties can be restored. I don’t want him, or any other POTUS, to expand ANY programs.

      Your use of the phrase Paulbot gives away your agenda. Go ahead and do exactly what the MSM, who you supposedly decry, tells you to do. Vote safely. May you find liberty, peace and happiness in your ignorance, sir/madam. But remember: They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

      In a nutshell, the reason our country is in the mess that‘s it’s in is a lazy electorate that refuses to put our Republic ahead of their own personal interests and desires. I understand theories and their usefulness quite well. I am, however, rather tired of posters who think that their youtube videos alone are an actual form of logical discussion that I, or others, should pay attention to.

      The rich have always been the more influential in almost every society known to this earth. Yes, even though I don‘t think that I’m all that intelligent I managed to grasp that abstract point. However it’s of no value to me. I can’t change it.

      The problem with conspiracy theories isn’t that they are without merit. The problem is that when that is all one presents to advance their arguments the arguments, and the person advancing them, will be marginalized. It’s one of my hardships as a Ron Paul supporter. Because their are so many others in his camp that do little more than peddle in the latest conspiracy theory all of us are painted with the same broad brush as idiots.

      I prefer to argue from a more concrete verifiable position. Like RP’s long and distinguished voting record. You are welcome to call me whatever names you like, as I have little respect for your opinion, so it’s of little consequence to me. We’ll see what happens in August. Hopefully things go the way we both would like them to go. Peace.

I still hold out hope as I know that Paul supporters are going to fight hard at the convention. It will still be very interesting. I have the understanding that the lawsuit to bring forth 42 USC 1971 is still in the works, at least at this point, and I do believe that if it does, we could possibly see a brokered convention, It will be harder to accomplish at this point, but I will not stop supporting Ron Paul, and I will not do as you have done and throw my support to Romney. I will hold steadfast and with my vote, I believe I will be sending a message to the GOP.

      That was the worst part. The only way he could have done it worse is on the Factor. What Rand did is he is learning from Ron’s mistakes. To be president you have to bow to the talking heads. So politically he is making the right move.

      After Romney gets his teeth kicked in by Obama in November we will need strong leadership if there is anything left in 4 years. The saddest thing of the whole deal is even is Romney won, we still lose. His budget doesnt cut current spending levels so the middle of his first year in office he will either have QE4 or have to install martial law to stop the riots after the bankruptcy.

At least if he gets in, the Tea Party and We the People can scramble and do our best in the next coming years to change things in American and finally get a president in that is a good man. We need to get rid of these democrats in the senate because Obama would be impeached if there were not so many communists and socialists masquerading to be servants of the people but are nothing more than greedy fat bloated evil men who care nothing for our country or their children or grandchildrens future. They are stupid enough to believe that if they do the will of the world’s elites, that they will have a slice of the pie if the new world order government is installed. Boy are they stupid!

      Rand is a smart man, he realizes that this will be a long haul and change will come from the bottom of the government, upwards rather than from the top (presidency) down. The whole nation, including its citizens, not just the government needs to change. That takes time to build, and as long as you keep your eye on the goal and keep slogging in that direction, you will eventually reach it. With his patience, comittment logic (vs emotions) and levelheaded approach someday, he could be President and it would be a big step in the right direction.

That is called ” a vote for Obama.” That is correctly called a vote for Marxist Insanity and the Destruction of a Successfully Functioning America . DUH.

      @goodstuff
      I dont think you understand the voting system either. They will not stay home. They will vote for 3rd party.

      Just like the Celtics – you guys are not on your game tonight

      @ SOY

      If Ron Paul himself tells his supporters to vote for Romney to begin the restoration of this country, why would you all write his name in? Dr. Paul has done a phenomenal job of advancing liberty in this country and is moving many in this country to want to return to our founding. He was/is admittedly unable to attain the presidency at this point. How does 3rd party or writing his name is……even against his and his son’s wishes, actually help?

      I dont think you understand what 3rd party means. 3rd party means voting for someone in the constitution or libertarian party.

      I replied to a post above about “write-in” candidates but it was apparently deleted. I am completely against write-ins because they are a waste of time and not really counted. Voting 3rd party is the honorable thing to do in such a scenario.

      By the way, i think it would be immoral for Ron Paul to tell his supporters who to vote for since we all have brains and critical thinking. That is more of a progressive thing to do

      I would love to know the true average age of Ron Paul supporters, it’s got to be low. I would have loved RP while I was in the military………24 years ago!, but some people do become more wise with age thanks to something called reality. Voting 3rd party is a vote for Obama, not voting is a vote for Obama and those are the facts, kids.

      Seems theblaze is blocking my posts….here is my 3rd try

      I dont think you understand what it means to vote 3rd party. In this scenario, it would be voting constitution party or libertarian party. I posted a comment above (doesnt look like it was ‘accepted’) about how write-ins are a waste of time since they are not really counted. Much more effective to vote for one of the two i just mentioned.

      I think it would be immoral for Ron Paul to tell his supporters who to vote for (since we have brains and critical thinking). Seems that is a progressive strategy….

      Thanks for your response, CIRCLED. I respect your position that you are a free man and wasn’t suggesting otherwise. Do you not intend to vote at all in the coming election or you are going to write in a name who admittedly doesn‘t have the delegates and doesn’t want you to waste your vote by writing his name in?

      @ oathkeeperbob:

      The only wasted vote is a vote that is not in line with ones conscience. There is no such thing as a vote for X is really a vote for Y. Can you spell sheeple? A vote for X is a vote for X. Political debate is supposed to be robust. Those who berate others concerning their beliefs and the way they vote are not patriots; they are kool-aid drinkers. A vote is, just that, a vote.

      My average age, since that seems to be important to you, is 57. I first encountered Ron Paul at a rally in DC protesting Nixon’s decision to take the US off the gold standard. I liked, and believed in, what he had to say. I voted for Ron Paul in 1988 when he ran as a Libertarian and I wish he hadn‘t changed over to the R’s. I wrote him in in 2004 as I wasn’t satisfied with the other choices. I’ve not yet decided how I will vote this year.

      Your assertion that “some people do become more wise with age” is gratuitous and is merely an admission that some people are willing to sell out their principles to have what they think is a better alternative when they lose their desire for what is the best for our Republic. I want best, not better. If you think Romney is really the best person for the job then vote for him. If not, then maybe YOU should rethink YOUR position. Peace.
