Rand's demands from Romney & the GOP establishment


"[Rand] Paul wants platform provisions that call for prohibiting indefinite detention, protecting internet freedom and limiting the power of the Federal Reserve. There are other items on his wish list, but those are priorities."

Good planks but I hope he isn't expecting them to actually follow it.

We already know Romney will say anything to get elected, because he has.

Who is them? Justin Amash? Massie? Mike Lee? The Paul faction has a majority is about 10 states so far. If the national platform agrees with the Paul faction, it will benefit those pro-liberty activists in those 10 states. It will help all pro-liberty candidates who run fo office, they can cite the GOP platform if they face internal resistance from the platform.

And the platform can be used to ostracize those stubborn GOP hacks who refuse to change.

GOP planks are written down, not just spoken. It is the same reason why oral contracts are dangerous and you want to get it in writing.

except contracts, including some oral contracts, are enforceable.

Good, then we will get Romney to agree orally with Rand's demands, and then hold him to it.

I'm sure the warmonger police statists at hotair don't like the anti-indefinite detention part of that at all. If they knew the Fed funded their glorious, endless Islamic theocracy-building wars, they wouldn't like that either.

You must've missed the piece on what leverage Rand has over Mitt Romney: http://www.salon.com/2012/05/25/rand_paul’s_leverage_with_mitt/singleton/

A liberal rag writes pieces like this to motivate their base to get out and vote for Obama. There is not much truth to it at all, it is just a scare tactic. Romney will be just as liberal as Obama is now if he wins, there will be no difference.

That's Romney's problem. If he does not acquiesce to the pro-liberty forces, he will lose. If he does acquiesce, then the pro-liberty forces win and the Revolution takes a big step forward at the expense of the New World Order.

If Romney actually commits to these publicly he may well follow through on them. He'll just be an atrocious horror on every other policy.

That's what King Louis XVI of France thought when he committed to some reforms. When the NWO does that, the Revolution gains momentum and soon new demands are made.

The quote is actually attributed to Ron Paul's campaign and what they're discussing vis a vis the rest of campaign and convention, not Rand Paul.

You have no way to know "there is no truth to it at all"

It makes perfect sense and could be strategically sound.

Sorry platforms are only as good as the people under it. Romney will and does not care about the platform. Only ethical people do

he will pander to us then ignore us if he wins GUARANTEED.

NO ONE BUT PAUL.

Damn right.

NO ONE BUT (RON) PAUL

 

[ctiger2]

Rand hasn't figured out politicians will lie and or pander to get anything?

 

[Galileo Galilei]

You don't seem to understand that the liberty movement is past the begging stage. Rand is not a beggar, he is a power player.
