Has Ron Paul sold out? , page

Dirty secret Ron Paul fanboys don't like to be let known: Ron Paul supported Lamar Smith for his re-election to the US congress in Texas. The same Lamar Smith was the chief backer of SOPA. You may have heard about that bill around here lately. Smith also voted for the bailouts in 2008-2009 and voted for the Patriot Act.

In a 2010 interview (video below), Paul responded to Smith's endorsement that "I'm a member of the Republican Party. I'm the most independent Republican in Congress, but there is a limit to the amount of independence you can get away with."

Paul has made it clear he will not be running again after this election, and after a 4th place finish in South Carolina he is still without a primary victory.

All Ron Paul has served is to be the libertarian flypaper for the Republican Party and I think he knows it. He enjoys the legions of followers who are going to be buying his books and paying $100 a ticket to go to speaking engagements.

Call me when Paul supports candidates who share his views instead of towing the party line to keep his Republican goon cohorts happy.

Tell me this: How many candidates in the government do share his views? Please name all of them.

I'll give you one that comes close: Rand Paul.

You think any of the other 3 will think about you when this election over?

Right now they smile at you, tell you only they can keep you warm and fuzzy.

Talk the same crap, Family values, Wave a Flag and a vote for me will bring the Unicorns.

After the election, Bills passed to help Wall Street, Iran gets attacked, and you lose more value of your money, and more jobs.

So go ahead , elect a Warmonger.

And we're supposed to believe an overwhelming majority of people just voted for Gingrich.

Good times are ahead. After people are disappointed by this election, we grow even more restless and tired of the manipulation. We come that much closer to the endgame, and a chance to actually change things. Even if Paul got elected, it would be one man against a corrupt congress. The worse it gets, the closer we are to revolution.

I can't speak for or defend his letter on behalf of Lamar Smith, but to claim Paul tows the party line, that's just being obtuse.
