Lew Rockwell: Ron Paul and Rand Paul are different

Senator Rand Paul shocked many supporters yesterday when he endorsed Mitt Romney as a presidential candidate for the upcoming November election. Even though the Kentucky senator said his father, Congressman Ron Paul, would have been his "number one" choice if he won the GOP nomination, many Libertarian leaning conservatives feel betrayed by this endorsement. Lew Rockwell, chairman/CEO of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, joins Abby Martin to find out what stands behind this surprising announcement.

Rand doesnt hold a candle to his dad.

Rand Paul has one thing in mind -- GET OBAMA OUT OF OFFICE.

I don't think we should dismiss Rand so quickly. Let's just continue to see what he does and observe him diligently. I hope he makes smart choices...

Lew Rockwell is fucking brilliant.

No, since the Obama administration made it obvious that they want to drone Americans regardless if they pose an imminent threat or not. Rand's filibuster demanded a clear answer to a simple question. Try to listen to people when they speak -- it'll help make yourself look less stupid.

It does not matter you delinquent, if President Obama had said the same thing you robots would be calling for his head!

[2row777]

The one who needs a mental evaluation is you, since you can't seem to understand his position no matter how clear he has made it nor can your thought process keep up with a basic point. He made it explicitly clear that he does not mind the use of technology (including drones) against criminals who pose an imminent threat on American soil, which is why he mentioned a robber with a weapon, genius. He spoke 13 hours on this and you missed it, completely. You failed at grasping such an easy concept.

[Marakulous43]

Wow, even after he declared his support for use of drones ON DOMESTIC SOIL even for robbing a store with $50 in hand you morons continue to suck his dick!!! You anti-Obamites need a mental evaulation ASAP!!!!

[Lieutenant Troy Bell]

Still would be 10x the president Hillary would be.
