How many times has Rand Paul been interviewed by Sean Hannity?
Does anyone have a number? Is is weekly?
It usually starts like this:
Sean: "I've asked your father Ron Paul to come on the show but for some reason he won't. I ask all the candidates the tough questions. I invite all the candidates on the show. Some take take the opportunity more than others..."
Rand: "I've told him he should come on your program."......
Sean: [then the interview with Rand Paul proceeds].
How nice of Sean to give Rand an open invitation to be on his show (with a nod that he's a "surrogate") because his father "won't" come on his show.
How convenient. Rand gets to promote himself. Someone who has said: ‘It Would Be An Honor’ if Romney Asked Him to Be VP
The article LINKED and excerpted below was recently published in the American Spectator. The author believes the GOP has a chance to win with a Romney-Paul (son) alliance and connects the dots that there is a Romney-Paul (father) alliance.
Isn't that special? /S
Elon Musk (co PayPal founder with Thiel) went for elec cars [Tesla], solar panels [Solar City] and rockets [Space X] all heavily “invested” with tax money and yet seem unable to make a profit, or find a market from what I’ve observed (Musk is a HUGE Obama supporter).
Now Thiel invests in seasteading with Patri Friedman. However he seems to have invested in other sane and highly profitable areas [In late 2004, Thiel made a $500,000 angel investment in Facebook for 10.2% of the company].
He has a lot of money to spend and I expect Romney will be needing it. Thiel was backing Ron Paul back in 2007. I wonder if Paul and Romney had any discussions back then about the future and 2012.
The only thing on Fox worth watching is Bret Baier's show -- that's a do-not-miss. The rest of the day is a waste of time. IMHO.
I stopped listening to Hannity’s radio appeasement a year ago. I couldn’t care less what he thinks or does. He is not a factor in the conservative mindset any more.
I expect they only ask those they desperately need to issue a timely endorsement, to endorse Romney. They must have begun to realize the base is angry.
That's what I used to say. But now even Bret is not above the spectacle of "Fox is in the bag for the GOP-e."
[I wonder if Paul and Romney had any discussions back then about the future and 2012.]
Romney started to form powerful alliances right after his defeat in ‘08. his obsession for power knows no bounds.
Therefore, he would be overlooking a prime tool if he DIDN’T use the Paul’s to his advantage and Thiel as a separate and untraceable bank for his cause.
If one were to look at Thiel’s belief and promotion of Libertarianism, how could he possible champion someone as bazaar as Paul?
It not only doesn’t pass the ‘smell test’, it doesn’t pass the common sense test.
You may be right, but I don't see it. I couldn't tell you whom he favors. But though I'll vote for Gingrich, I'm not emotionally involved in his campaign -- so maybe I'm blind to bias against him.
I used up all my emotion defending Cain and then in switching to Perry. Now, I'm just voting as a duty. Cheers.
