Rand Paul Asks Father's Supporters Not to Give Up on GOP

Despite his father's invitation to the Republican Convention apparently having been lost in the mail, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is encouraging the army of Ron Paul supporters not to give up on the GOP.

As The New American reported at the time, on June 7, the younger Paul told Sean Hannity that while his "first choice had always been [his] father," now that the nominating process is over he would be campaigning for former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney.

During the interview, Rand Paul recounted a 30-minute meeting he had with Governor Romney in Washington, D.C. recently. During this meeting, Paul reports, he and Romney discussed many issues important to himself and his father.

Finally, Senator Paul told Hannity that he believes that with Mitt Romney there is "a lot of kinship on those issues" that are important to Ron Paul and his "legion of young supporters."

You are absolutely correct that Democrat politicians have always been the ones who started useless wars in the past. That makes it that much more painful that Bush and other Republicans were so eager to send our troops into a conflict that was bound to result in guerilla war. It’s as if none of them had ever read a history book, and people like Wolfowitz and Perle, who were so arrogant and stupid in predicting it would all be easy, ought to hand their heads in shame.

I suppose some liberals supported Paul in the primary, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were more likely to support Romney. As far as I can tell, there isn’t much difference between Romney of MA and their guy Obama.

There should not be open primaries. Only registered Republicans should be allowed to vote in Republican primaries. I don’t care what the donkeys do. ;-)

Would that not defeat the goal of most (re: liberal) “Dr.” Paul supporters? If Liberals could NOT vote in GOP primaries “Dr.” Paul would get no support at all....

“Well, some of us consider him to be the true conservative.”

Then you are not a conservative yourself. Or can’t tell the difference. Either way, Ron Paul does NOT belong in the GOP. If you want a surrender monkey, 9-11 “truther” as POTUS you are free to vote for him. But you, and your ilk, would probably find a warmer reception over at the Huffington Post or DU then you will here.

Mainstream GOP will not vote for Ron “freaking” Paul (or the new darling “Rand”). Under ANY circumstances. Get used to that fact. If I was to get “Dr.” Paul a birthday present, you know what it would be? A full mental check up. (And the apple don’t fall far from the tree.)

If you want to vote for a liberal, fine. Go ahead. I have stated repeatedly that there is no way I will vote for
Romney. Not one chance in heck. Like most of the mainstream GOP I will simply stay home. But if you think for even one second I would vote for a mental patient like Ron Paul, you need to join him in delusion. (Most Paul supporters already fall into that delusion. That he has a SERIOUS chance to actually become president. I just shake my head in wonder).

You want to vote liberal, go ahead. But get over to DU where people will actually take your nonsense seriously.
