Romney is Watching Us

[Romulus]

Now that Rand endorsed... this is a beta test for VP. If the consensus is that we all cheer and say 'ok I'll vote for Romney if there's a Paul on the ticket', there's a chance he could Rand could be VP. If not, it serves Romney no purpose to put Rand on. Even though the Neocons love Rand for some reason.

Just think though.... IF Rand was picked to be VP. That itself says something about us. Look at what we can do. I remember the establishment going head to head up against Rand in his primary. Rand's senate victory was because of our hard work. IF he is picked for VP, I think that says alot about what we have accomplished. Just something to ponder.

I still have mixed thoughts on the whole situation.

 

[Reason]

Rand would have less influence & power as VP than he would as a Senator IMO.

The truth is we need to re-gain some ground.

Ron Paul supported Reagan for President because of the principles he campaigned on.

Reagan won, and was then brainwashed and violently threatened into mainlining some of his positions. But he was at the helm while Bush Sr. and the other guys doing the dirty work in the background.

Now we may see Rand as VP. I don't know what that will do for us, except show that we are gaining back ground against the establishment.

We need to push with the tide.

Rand will not be considered for VP. Just think for a second the amount of media coverage Sarah Palin got. Now put in Rand and imagine questions about libertarian philosophy. You think Romney wants to spend his time debating the Civil Rights Act, legalizing marijuana, legalizing prostitution, ending the wars, ending the Patriot Act etc...it's NOT going to happen.

Romney wants all the focus on the economy. Think about it from his point of view and you'll know that Rand will not be considered.

Good points, tsai, but IMO, other reasons Mitt and his neo-trots would ask Rand to be VP is to remove an enemy of the police state from the Senate, demoralize the liberty movement, and kill any chance Rand has for 2016 whether he be Mandate Mitt RomneyCare's GOP primary challenger or running for the GOP nom after 16 full years of Bushbama Welfare-Warfare-Police Statism disaster.

Paul-Amash 2016!

Your finger speaks for me.

 

[DeMintConservative]

No way. He won't be the VP pick. Not enough political experience for that; Romney will go with someone like Jindal or McDonnell.

Rand Paul endorsed because 1) otherwise the Paul movement would be finito within the Republican Party, 2) he prefers to have Romney nominating SCOTUS judges.

And I suspect he actually wants to implement the policy prescriptions he believes in and have a constitutionalism friendly SCOTUS and not merely be a saner, libertarian, republican, version of Lyndon LaRouche.

I don't see Rand being offered VP. I would not support that ticket.

 

[Lucille]

2) he prefers to have Romney nominating SCOTUS judges.

Sad how every "conservative" justice is a police statist.

 

[Liberty74]

Rand isn't going to be the VP pick. Romney doesn't need the state of KY.

yeah we get it, you want Romney because he'll appoint justices you like.

Unfortanetly Rand never even mentioned justice appointments on Hannity, so to say that is why he is supporting Romney is simply not correct.

Secondly, The youth of the party have clearly shown that they prefer libertarianism as opposed to whatever it is the GOP is offering up so it is really a matter of attrition. The libertarian movement will go on with or without Rand Paul.

 

[Echoes]

Rand and Mitt are 2 evil neocon peas in a pod. I'll jump off a cliff before i vote for that ticket.

 

[FindLiberty]

I'd vote for Paul to become VP...

...and any confusion two Paul's would cause could be avoided by simply using their FIRST names.
