I have often wondered just how Ron Paul gets away with calling himself a Libertarian.  Many of his views conflict with the core libertarian principle that personal freedom is the highest priority.  But just as important, Ron Paul\u2019s campaign has been little more than a front for Multiple Mitt Romney, aka Rmoney.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"25PaulRmoney\"Ron Paul’s donors should consider asking for a refund and making donations to Mitt Romney. Paul now has an extreme truth-in-advertising problem. Money donated to Paul is not promoting the cause Paul allegedly supports. It is promoting the Romney campaign. Ron Paul should stop the holier-than-thou libertarian shtick and tell the truth to his supporters about why he is doing everything he can to make Romney the nominee<\/strong>. I am calling out Ron Paul. His campaign looks increasingly phony.<\/p>\n

Fact: When Rick Perry was the greatest threat to Romney, Paul launched personal attacks against Perry, which only helped Romney. Fact: When Newt Gingrich was the great threat to Romney, Paul launched personal attacks against Gingrich, which only helped Romney. Fact: Now that Rick Santorum is the great threat to Romney, Paul launches personal attacks against Santorum, which only helps Romney. Fact: Romney is the one other candidate Paul has spoken highly of, including, shamefully, endorsing Romney’s vulture layoffs, which even Perry had the integrity to criticize.<\/p>\n

I never thought I would say this, but Perry looks like a far more authentic conservative while Paul looks increasingly like a phony libertarian. No legitimate libertarian would act like a shill for the Romney campaign<\/strong>. Even Ayn Rand must be turning in her grave at the serial hypocrisy of Paul’s help for Romney!\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I have thought that perhaps Paul is sucking up for a VP nomination, but only a fool would support Paul for any office.  Today it hit me.  I think that Paul is kissing Romney\u2019s butt in the hopes of getting a VP nomination for his son Rand.<\/font><\/p>\n

But this is not the only way Ron Paul is an anti-libertarian.  Lawrence O\u2019Donnell had that story.<\/font><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hardly libertarian to want government that is just invasive enough to shove between a woman\u2019s legs.  Ron Paul is just another GOP Hypocrite.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
