Supporters of U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) have created a new “super” political action committee.
The PAC – called “Stand With Rand” – won’t be limited to supporting Paul’s 2016 presidential aspirations, though. According to its founder, Virginia-based accountant Bill Willenbrock, the group will also “stand for other candidates who stand for liberty.”
Hopefully that means it will stand against candidates like fiscally liberal U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (RINO-S.C.).
“Stand With Rand” is a hybrid PAC – meaning it can simultaneously raise money on behalf of candidates (provided the contributions are within federal limits) while raising unlimited sums for issues advertisements in support of those candidates.
This website has waxed and waned with Rand Paul … blasting him for his endorsement of Mitt Romney in 2012 but praising his filibuster in defense of forgotten individual liberties earlier this month. Generally we like what we see, but we can’t shake the sense that the younger Paul is more of a politician than an uncompromising ideologue like his father.
And trust us … with a $16.7 trillion debt America needs more uncompromising ideologues and fewer politicians.
In addition to this super PAC, Paul’s 2016 maneuvering includes a softened stance on the issue of immigration as well as visits to early primary states like South Carolina.

Why vote for someone different? Stand with Bland- err, Rand!
I’ll take “Bland Rand” over the “… first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy…that’s a storybook, man.”
Or the “bright, shiny, Mormon”
Or the “maverick Vietnam vet”
Or the Catholic, munchkin from PA
Or the “Preacher from Arkansas”
Or “Bland Rand’s” old man…
Or the bag on the broom married to the “First African American president…”
or John “I served in Vietnam and I’m snarky and superior to everyone” Kerry…
If you do’nt know what’s different about him, you sir are a brainwashed sheep.
Where do you get your information, CNN?
Why don’t you try telling us WHAT legislation he’s supported that makes him like everyone else?
You can’t….your attempts to discredit him are weak and founded on nothing but your hatred for anyone with an (R) next to their name.
YOu know it….I know it….everyone who read your pathetic comment knows it.

I thought fiscal conservatives didn’t like throwing their money away on lost causes. Guess I was wrong.
Do you want to back that up with anything substantial, or just stand on a silly immature insult?
Oh you must be liberal…..nevermind, I already know the answer.

One of these days, the rubes are going to figure out what a grift these “Super PACS” really are. Someone needs to track Baby Liberty’s net worth to see how well he has been doing since giving up the self-certified eye-doctor game.

I think if you want to get the sheep to see the truth you have to act like them (i.e. as a politician) and spoon feed it to them. Yet again I see “purer-than-thou-artism” infecting the liberty movement.

Paul has the guts to do what FITS is scared to do. He slaps the GOP Establishment in the face…and cuts the N*ts out of the liberals…Rand Paul is the Anti-Sanford…Obama’s Worst Nightmare…
Rand Paul IS the Voice of the PEOPLE!!!!…FINALLY!!!!!!

But he supports Randmesty
That was meant for Big T.
I cannot wait for Hillary to clean Paul’s clock in 2016.
Hillary????? ROFL!
“Bill and I have a traditional marriage….he makes the decisions and I support him anyway I can.” – Hillary Clinton.
So if HIllary was president, just WHO would be in charge? The lying, cheating Bill Clinton? Or the wife of the lying, cheating Bill Clinton?
Hillary is establishment as they come….do you know what she, Romney, Obama, and Bush have in common?
They are ALL Goldman-sachs candidates. Big banks and mega corps don’t give hundreds of millions of campaign funds and don’t expect anything in return.
Didn’t know that did you? Of course not, they don’t talk about in on CNN, because they are partially owned by the same corporations that profit from war and bailouts.
Try doing some RESEARCH….and by that, I don’t mean turn on CNN and be told what to think like the rest of the sheep.e
It beats the H#!! out of the TOTAL FAILURE your lord and savior Obama is…that’s for D@*n sure…
Jump to conclusions lately? Just because somsone says they don’t like a guy supporting Romney doesn’t mean they are liberal….relax, you will live longer.
Support’ED…..and all he said was “Romney is a better choice than Obama”….which does not mean he supports Romney’s positions.
Please, stop sensationalizing and overreacting…he’s still Ron Paul’s son, a man who is so ideologically pure he would oppose his own son if he thought he had turned establishment….believe it.

It doesn’t matter what Americans need…..fancy suits and smiles get elected, not ideals.
Unfortunate as that is, it’s just the truth. Rand Paul figured that out and has just Cool Hand Luke’d his way into mainstream politics.
Stop making it more complicated than it is…..do you honestly believe that his father (whose ideals you support) would back his son if he thought he was just another establishment?
HELL NO! Ron Paul would vote against his own son, THAT is how principled he is….if you start doubting him now then you are just like the turncoats from Cool Hand lol
Peace!
