So not gonna support Gary Johnson? A libertarian?
Where is your god now, Ron Paul fanatics?
Gary Johnson 2012
Yeh, I doubt many RP supporters will vote for Romney, I know I certainly won't. I'm still awaiting some interesting shit in Tampa though, which is what I've said all along. We'll see what happens. I'm certain that if Rand had just waited until after the convention this wouldn't have been half the big deal it was.
That said,
this is Rand's interview with the dailypaul.com radio show, I think he explains himself a little better here than he did on Peter Schiff's show.
I still don't agree with the endorsement, because of 2 main reasons:
1) He can try to paint Mitt Romney as "Not so evil" all he wants, but the guy is bought and paid for by the banks, he's a politician, he will lie, cheat, and do whatever it takes to get into power. He's not an OK alternative- he'll probably be worse than Bush and he will continue to spend this country into death, period. It's not OK to endorse that, or to say that's a viable alternative to Obama, because it's not.
2) Rand may be trying to get good legislation passed, but in reality anything that he does get passed will probably be so watered down by the time it makes it through both houses that it will pretty much be meaningless. A better strategy would have been to keep inspiring people, especially younger generations, through integrity and honestly and fill congress and the senate with amazing people. You can't be a politician and a hero, you have to choose, and I think he made the wrong choice. That doesn't mean, by the way, that he has to call Romney names or be a dick to other senators, it just means he has to stick to his guns.
That said, the liberty movement marches on with or without Rand. My only fear is that he turns the liberty movement into another tea party, which gets taken over by the media and manipulated into something meaningless.
