I've seen past interviews with Ron as well as Rand, and when Ron is asked
about something in regards to his son, he'll often just say "You'll have to
ask him". They respect each other's opinion, but they don't agree on
everything - they are not clones.

Ron doesn't have any reason in the world to endorse Romney, if he does
not want to. But at this point in time, Rand certainly does. After all,
Rand IS a Republican, not a Libertarian.

With Ron Paul actually winning at the delegate race and putting alot of pressure on the NWO for lack of a better term, They are getting real nervous... Do you think the elites are going to say "Oh well we lost to Ron Paul and the american people?"... With unbound delegates nominating Ron Paul on the first ballot in Tampa they really have no other choice, look on his face and the sound of his voice. He probably got pictures on his phone with his family in cross hairs...

I know the immediate reflex would be to say that Rand is not as crazy as Ron Paul supporters, and that maybe right. Endorsement or not, we still do NOT believe that Romney has anything in common with us. Even if Rand or Ron is the VP, Romney is still NOT getting our votes. So nothing has changed for the grassroots.

We soldier on. This is not about getting the nomination for Paul. I can tell you right now that the chances for it are pretty slim. I had started to look beyond that a couple of months ago. This is to remake the GOP into what they claim on paper that they are, and to take the country back to its constitutional roots.
That's the way I see it. I believe there are probably several reasons for this endorsement. It would be great to see Rand get a cabinet position. Rand wants his father to survive, if he actually got close to the presidency the people that really run this country, with the global agenda, would have to assassinate RP. Rand knows that the office of President is just a figure-head puppet for the global masters, the real power of the people resides with the Congress, Senate, and local governance.
Wonder why neither Rand nor Sean mentioned NDAA or the Patriot Act.

Rand Paul is a smart man. Personally he probably should ahve just said he would support the GOP nominee. That would have saved him some grief. Remember though,that Rand is not in total lockstep with his father.

Everybody needs to calm down… Rand Paul announced his “support” of Mitt Romney… RON PAUL DID NOT DROP OUT AND ENDORSE ROMNEY…
This is a strategic move by the Ron Paul campaign… Romney will not have enough delegates to win the nomination… Ron Paul will win the Republican nomination in Tampa.

Ron Paul has enough delegates to force a brokered convention… The Liberty Movement will not give Romney the nomination… Rule 38 will be enforced… Romney will not have enough delegates… Ron Paul will win the nomination on the second ballot… Possibly even on the first ballot.

Read between the lines...

I think people see too much into things. I trust Rand Paul on his decision and still back him. He is still my favorite Senator.
