Last Wednesday, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky endorsed Mitt Romney for president of the United States and followed up
a day later by saying he would be “honored” to be Romney’s choice for vice president. Paul pledged his support after
having a discussion with Romney in which the latter outlined some of his positions that were of particular concern.
According to Paul, Romney supported “reforming the Federal Reserve, limiting regulations, and opposing the Stop Online Privacy Act,”
adding that “there is a lot of kinship between us on those issues.”
Regarding Mitt’s foreign policy views, Rand Paul told Sean Hannity that “[we] had a very good and I think honest discussion about a lot of these things;
and I came away from it feeling he would be a very responsible commander in chief, I don’t think he’ll be reckless, I don’t think he’ll be rash, and I think that
he realizes and believes as I do that war is a last resort and something we don’t rush willy-nilly into, and I came away feeling that he’ll have
[a] mature attitude and beliefs toward foreign policy.”
Basically, Rand Paul came away with nothing in exchange for providing Mitt Romney with some modicum of acceptability . . .
