KENTUCKY SENATOR TO APPEAR AT ROCK HILL EVENT
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) will travel to early voting South Carolina next month to attend a fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney – one of the presumed 2016 presidential candidate’s key advisors in the “First in the South” presidential primary.
Paul will be in Rock Hill, S.C. on Monday August 25 for a “Liberty BBQ” (official event info HERE) benefiting Mulvaney’s 2014 reelection campaign. Mulvaney – one of a handful of genuine free market advocates in the U.S. Congress – is running for his third term after upsetting powerful U.S budget chairman John Spratt in 2010.
FITS has been critical of Rand Paul in recent months …
How come? The company he’s keeping (Mulvaney excluded, obviously). Paul is still voting the right way … but outside of Washington, D.C. he seems to be more interested in courting the GOP establishment than replacing its leaders with people who think like he does.
“All three of the ‘conservative’ or ‘Tea Party’ candidates for the GOP presidential nomination are disappointing us lately – Paul for his ongoing ideological retreat, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) for his recent sellout of our individual liberties and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for his calculated kowtowing to the nation’s military-industrial complex,” we wrote earlier this year.
That’s disappointing … especially in Paul’s case.
Ron Paul, Rand’s father, is nothing short of a hero – an uncompromising voice for true limited government and the expansion of individual liberty in this country.
The further this particular apple falls from that tree … the less likely we are to support his national ambitions.

Will, he can’t win without the GOP establishment.
Journos have been kind to Rand re. his father. But the second Rand looks like a serious contender, prepare for an onslaught of articles and speeches revealing the anti-Semitism, conspiracy-mongering, and general kookiness that he’s stood for.
Yep.
That shows that no matter how much some people complain about the ‘liberal media elite’, in reality they are saps for any candidate wanting to be ‘bipartisan’.That’s why they have given the laughable Lindsey Graham to press he gets, John McCain and Chris Christie
Two nails in the coffin of Rand Paul’s assumed campaign for President. One, his father is Ron Paul. Two, little Mulvaney is one of his “key advisors”.
I don’t understand why anyone in SC would give a fuck. Flying fuck, even. Whatever the fuck that is.
(btw for those who may give a FF, doubtful if there are any, I post as a guest because I forgot my fucking password on disgust, or whatever it is, and don’t want to retrieve it…. too much trouble.)
“disgust” + 10. good shot.
Sic will never support anyone for president, who has a chance of winning.
Bet Haley will be there to suck on the Tea Party tit.

Yeah cause that’s worked so well for Ol’Ronbo…
oh no! … RUN! RUN! The Republicans are coming BACK, and *this* time, they’re bringing the Germans!
I can’t wait for Rand’s official proclamation that Israel has become a US territory and even further has to report the financial aid it gets from us as welfare.
Good lord FITS. You would rather him be a carbon copy of dad, so you can revel in how right he is while he loses the nomination? Become useful to SC, please.
