I'll be quite frank (and I appreciate you being respectful, I really do)...I don't give a rats poopy fart (I'm really mature) if Rand "consulted" his father or not. In a way, I THINK THAT'S EVEN WORSE! The fact that Ron would give the green light to Rand really worries me! I understand Ron is living up to his true libertarian principles and not trying to influence Rand in his decisions, but come on! Ron should have said, "Dude, are you kidding? My supporters are all working their asses off to win, if not at least, pushing our views within the GOP platform." The fact that Ron was, indirectly, involved makes me even more disgusted.
Unless this is some MacArthur secret attack, this pisses me off to no end. LibertyEagle, who I respect and agree with almost 100 percent of the time is wrong about something, he said that it doesn't matter what Rand "says", rather that it's about how he votes. I completely disagree with that. Rand's words (obviously) have an affect on people and when he happily endorses Mitt Romney BEFORE the convention, he is essentially saying that everyone who threw their money at the convention and drove hours to help campaign for him, was all for nothing. I will tell you something, if I were a national delegate and was spending my hard earned money on getting a hotel in Tampa, in order to support Ron, with this nonsense...I wouldn't even bother. Fuck it. Why should I? Why should I spend even 1 more penny on Ron and his campaign? All of these key issues like NDAA, Patriot Act, SOPA, CISPA, Global empire, gov. spending, abortion, the Fed, etc...to throw that all out the window is bullshit. Two words: SELL OUT.
But again, I am glad you are being respectful to me...it really does mean a lot.
