Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul wants people to know that his endorsement of Mitt Romney for the GOP presidential nomination does not signify an abandonment of his libertarian political beliefs.
When Paul endorsed Romney on Fox News last week, many supporters of Texas Rep. Ron Paul’s presidential bid took great offense. But Rand Paul said in an interview with Daily Paul Radio that he was “compromising on strategy, not on principle.”
“People need to look beyond politics to look at what’s most important,” said Paul. “I sort of take it as an insult that people think that somehow I don’t support my father or haven’t done an adequate job in the sense that I have traveled thousands of miles and been to thousands of speeches both with him and by myself. And so I think there’s probably nobody in the liberty movement that has done more to support my dad than myself.”
Rand Paul cited a few reasons for his endorsement, including Romney’s promise to give all 50 states waivers from President Barack Obama’s health care reform law, and his support for auditing the Federal Reserve.
But he will be at home with other faux conservatives like Boehner and McConnell.

You post garbage.
Rand Paul is pro-life, as is his father Ron Paul.
What you say about Romney is garbage too, but less blatantly so than what you say about the Pauls.
“I endorsed romney because I was told that I would have a shot to run as President one day... but that I must pay the fiddler and sell my soul to win the crown”.
So every single person who comes to a different political conclusion than you do is a cynical liar?
Maybe, just maybe, the dishonest one is you?
Have you ever considered that?
What you post has already been posted, over and over, for months.
You seem obsessed. (In a bad way.)
In the universe where those of us who are not nasty, monotonous retards live. The one in which we compare one candidate with another.
But he will be at home with other faux conservatives like Boehner and McConnell.
Are you talking about the Sen. McConnell who just announced a block on any further judicial appointments by Hussein until after the election? That McConnell?
Are you denying that libertarians are pro-choice????
It’s a matter of record.
Where on earth do you get the notion that most libertarians are "pro-choice?" The Founding Fathers considered themselves libertarians. Can you name a single one, who advocated legalized abortion? As for the Pauls, they certainly are not pro abortion. Dr. Ron Paul actually delivers babies!
And as to Gov. Romney, he has now stated that he is against abortion. Why do you assume that he is not telling the truth?
I would suggest that anyone who really wants to turn America around, desist from insulting those with whom one may have a few disagreements, and focus their fire on the Leftist ideas, with which virtually everyone at Free Republic has a very, very serious disagreement. We are in a true crisis, now. We need to find common ground for a counter-attack.

Ron Paul is one of the best grounded men in Congress on Conservative economic principles; on the Constitutional limitations on Government; on the Washington/Jefferson foreign policy, which once made us the most respected people on earth. Just what, in comparison, do you have to offer?

The libertarian platform is pro-choice. It’s a matter of record.
Gary Johnson has agreed to that, but calls his position “limited pro-choice”.
1.4 Abortion
Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.

By contrast, Dr. Paul has been running as a Conservative Republican, in Texas, for years. The present small party that is closest to his thinking is the "Constitution Party," whose 2008 candidate, Pastor Baldwin, is certainly not "pro-choice."
Incidentally, if I was not trying to be a peacemaker, here, I would point out that referring to killing babies as "pro-choice," suggests a perceptual deficit. (See this piece on Al Gore: A Woman's Right To Choose.)
Citing a party's name as defining what people actually believe is not very reliable. Would you suggest that either George W. Bush or Senator McCain defined what is intended by all advocates of a "Republican form of government?"
William Flax
I’m saying that if someone is going to call himself or herself a “republican”, then they better get used to that being associated with the republican party.
Call yourself libertarian, and I’m going to go with my experience of many years with libertarians all over, none of whom were pro-life, all of whom were pro-choice.
If they don’t like the associations made with the word libertarian, then they shouldn’t use it.
As a constitutionalist myself, I support the constitution party candidate.
Just who are you suggesting is a Muslim apologist?
Perhaps, here, is something you can get your teeth into, since much of it deals with an hysterical approach to foreign policy--the one which is usually offered by those who insult Dr. Paul, but cannot actually answer his arguments:
Pseudo Pragmatism--Political Folly.

Neither Ron Paul or Rand Paul is a Libertarian. Ron Paul left the LP BECAUSE of their pro abortion position as well as other disagreements on social issues. Ron Paul is a Constitutionalist, the Constitutionalists and the anything goes crowd battled for control of the LP. The Constitutionalists lost so Ron Paul left the LP and rejoined the GOP.
Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul wants people to know that his endorsement of Mitt Romney for the GOP presidential nomination does not signify an abandonment of his libertarian political beliefs.
Ok, but the mistake you are making is confusing libertarian political beliefs with positions taken by the libertarian Party. I myself share many of libertarian political beliefs that both Pauls have. I consider myself a Classical Liberal as did our founders consider themselves as Classical Liberals. I am very conservative (paleocon). Hope you can see the difference between libertarian principles and the LP platform.
