Rand Paul Confronted on Mitt Romney Endorsement by wearechange

Yes, I watched it and what's more, I AGREE WITH HIM. He was talking about those select few who were threatening violence against he and his family and even Ron!! Or, do you applaud those assholes?

No M'am. He implied there was more violence than there was and tried to group us as "crazy" to ingratiate himself with Mr. Beck to be "one of the boys."

That was a strawman argument if I've ever seen one from Randy Paul
 
So you are fine with Rand wanting continuation of Social Security, Medicare, supports Drone use in America etc.

It's more like you are a brainless follower of Ron Paul and following Rand simply because of family ties, betraying your "galt" nametag

I'm fine with Rand engaging in politics. That sort of what you do when you enter politics... you engage in politics. Like when Ron Paul voted for Newt Gingrich for SOTH, or when he endorsed Ted Cruz, who stands for Iranian sanctions.

And son, when you've helped elect half as many GOPers to office as I have, come and talk to me about being a brainless follower. I know what tools are at our disposal, and what/who stands in our way. And right now, what/who is the biggest obstacle in our way, is YOU. YOU and the shitheads out there who think they know better than the people who have actually moved the ball down the field. I'll work in the GOP with Rand Paul to move the ball down the field. If it's with fellow libertarians, then great. If not... hey, I'll work with the Tea Partiers, and accept half a loaf of Liberty for now. And I'll laugh at the purist urchins looking desperately in the windows at the grown ups eating at the political table, downtrodden because the maitre d' won't let them in without a coat and tie.

Suck it up, cupcake! Put on the coat and tie, sit down at the table, and act like a grown up. Or, get used to playing the role of the urchin in the cold.

Read the facebook comments on the Rand Paul page. Paul was being kind with the "extremist" tag on some of those individuals.

You haven't moved the ball down the field mr wannabe bigwig.

Tell me how the people you have helped elected have changed the monetary policy or shrunk government? Sure that will be crickets.
 
This was pretty cool, but disappointing at the same time. Cool because these two didn't back down and asked Rand some real questions. Disappointing that he refused to answer them. He could have spent 5 minutes with these guys and made himself look a lot less guilty.

1. He had already spoken with Luke about the Bilderberg group. I saw the video somewhere on here yesterday.

2. Rand was busy. He was getting briefed before another meeting. He asked them to make an appointment and they would talk.

3. Luke refused. Luke was a jerk.

Damn straight and they ARE. He was talking about the few who were "preaching violence to me and my family."

What would you call them? Besides assholes, that is.

It sounded like he was dismissing all those that are unhappy with him as a tiny minority of dumbasses calling for violence (which I'm sure is a minuscule percentage of people, along with some shills).

Sorry. You are wrong. I saw the comments. He was being nice about it.

Again, Rand was saying that those people who did that only represented a very small percentage of the movement. What would you have had him say?

Exactly. He dismisses genuine, and substantiated, criticism and blows off everyone as disgruntled "crazy extremists." Very poor rhetorical technique

Agree^^^

I've said before that these people throwing bombs have probably never even volunteered on a campaign or even been to any kind of organizational meeting in their life. It's so easy to never get involved and just sit on the internet and bit h and moan. What a waste of time...

You are speaking of an interview that was held TWO YEARS ago.

"This is a never before seen interview of Rand Paul in 2010 on the campaign trail right before becoming U.S Senator. It's pretty amazing seeing Rand Paul make such statements against the Bilderberg Group and Goldman Sachs but yet still endorse a Goldman Sachs flip flopping Bilderberg puppet. "
 
It sounded like he was dismissing all those that are unhappy with him as a tiny minority of dumbasses calling for violence (which I'm sure is a minuscule percentage of people, along with some shills).

There is a huge difference between people who disagreed with him endorsing Romney and those who were calling he and Ron all kinds of names, including some threatening violence against them.

I have done a lot of work on the ground, another chance for you all to dismiss critics as noobs instead of the merits of the criticisms.
 
You haven't moved the ball down the field mr wannabe bigwig.

Tell me how the people you have helped elected have changed the monetary policy or shrunk government? Sure that will be crickets.

People I've helped elect have voted to repeal tax increases, to cap property taxes, to legalize medicinal cannabis, to support prison reform. Real-world, on the ground steps towards Liberty and smaller government.

As opposed to whining about Bilderbergers and vote fraud on the intertubez.

Notice how Randy never addresses the roots of the criticism, but spends his time ridiculing the "extremists".

They were talking about those who were acting a fool specifically. You know that already though. You posted the video.

Who's paying Rand's salary?
It's not like any other job man. These government employees, no matter what their last name, have to expect this kind of questioning because of the job they are in. After all, they are the ones "in power"- over you and me. I'm not sympathetic one bit here to Rand's schedule. He could have simply responded as he was walking. If he has a reasonable explanation for supporting the Builderberger Romney, why not make a quick statement and be done with it?

Thanks for finding that and posting it. Ok, so what if it was 2 years ago? He answered the questions then. Why would Luke have ants in his pants about wanting him to tell him again? What's more, it sounded like Paul was quite willing to do so, but WAS BUSY RIGHT THEN and asked them to make an appointment. What the hell is wrong with that? Now, if Rand refused to meet with him or to reiterate what he said 2 years ago when they did meet, that would be another thing. But, that is not what happened. At least, not yet.
