Rand Paul "Officially" Running For President In 2016
As The Washington Examiner reports,
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul will officially seek the White House in 2016, according to a federal election filing.
The development is not surprising as Paul has signaled in the coming months that he is pursuing a run. The senator, who was elected in 2010, has signaled he will officially announce his candidacy in April.
Paul was elected to the Senate in 2010 and is a favorite amongst the conservative Tea Party. He recently took the straw poll at the CPAC event last month.

Don't get shot.
Tallest Midget 2016
He's not his dad but he's the best chance at slowing the pace of endless war. Less of our dudes in bodybags, less militarization of police, more scrutiny of the Fed = gets my vote, fuck the idealists.
media marginalization in 3 2 1 ..
Kiss the fucking wailing wall bitch...
Let my 'BROTHA's' sing it 2u
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huzYji2OAD4
If he doesn't, he won't have a chance to be elected.
I feel badly for Ron Paul, to see his son turn into a paid off ball-licker of foreign dignitaries and banksters.
Rand Paul is a born again Christian zionist.
Probably means he is a recovering alcoholic. Most of them are.
Probably also means he's willing to sacrifice our real life for the afterlife.
@Jonesy: If something happens to Rand, People will respond.
Bankster's 3rd party bet. Or at least the ole bait and switch. How's that Syriza thing workin' out?
assuming that the crash or war doesnt happen on obama's watch, it almost certainly will on the next president's. im going to vote for whoever runs on the democrat ticket. americans are unbelievably fucking stupid. jbush is a nazi globalist left wing huge government piece of shit, but americans think he is "conservative" and if he's in office when SHTF it will be blamed on small government and capitalism. rand is the worst person to have as the next president, because then itll be ZHers who fall on the sword. you know, "extremeists" and the like. no thank you. ill vote for billary or whatever raging pussy/cunt comes out of the left primaries.
let's burn this motherfucker down pookie
Pfft, don't care who is running. It doesn't change anything.
Rand did kiss the Wailing Wall. I think he was wearing his yamaka.
It's funny how these Christian Zionists tend to overlook the whole Matthew 23 & synagogue of Satan thing in the book. Willfully ignorant, I believe it's called.
Seriously dude? Explain Ted Kennedy then. Alkies cover the entire spectrum of humanity. Better a recovering drunk than an active one, generally speaking. Hate on Christians as much as you like but I'd rather have them for neighbors than muzzies. jmo
Christian-Zionists & Christians aren't (or at least shoudn't) be the same thing. BIG difference.
WWJD? - He wouldn't be supporting Zionists, me thinks.
Christianity is paganism. Man is not God. Check your head. Jesus was a man. And a pretty mediocre one at that. Paul of tarsus was the real deal,but he was nothing more than a savvy Hollywood producer. You may as well worship Harvey Weinstein.
Only the Christian Zionists believe Jesus is God. The Cevnant Christians understand the difference.
You have to quit assuming that all Christians think the same.
Wow! That was fun. Factual? No
Sadly my money is on Barry winning by executive order.
Even if he won, which is impossible because the MSM will not acknowlege he even exists, all he can do is slow down the pace of wars for a few years.
Better to just vote hilldebeast or jeb and get the destruction over with quicker.
I would rather not vote if they are the only 2 choices. That will have more of an effect.
is the rand man there to provide cover for jebbie? give his royal bushness much needed gravitas opportunities? to sound like older wiser brother?
One question for all the statist trolls on ZH, and there are plenty. If Obama had told the truth about his beliefs, would he have ever been elected? He needed to lie in order to pursue his ideological vision of the US.
Are you suggesting that a politician can get to the top of the political heap by telling the truth...???
Ill pass. In his never ending quest to make himself appealing to the main stream/neo con element within his party, he has become nothing but another garden variety republican. He abondoned his principles and has most likely lost me as a supporter. Shoulda stuck to your guns, Rand
He already has much to atone for.
http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2015/03/10/rand-pauls-munich/
If you are going to run and expect to win, you have to play the game. Ron was too close to the truth and didn't want to play the game. Ergo, he was ignored and made to appear to be a fool.
True, but what are the chances he gets into the office and returns to his roots?
It'd be a welcome shocker, and he'd get assasinated for sure, ....(and we all know who would do it, too, the corrupt insane assholes...)
Anything is possible. Never give up hope. In such a case, he should make sure to stay clear of nail guns.
he is under the protection of eldest bush, a super massive black hole of power. a betrayer of immense magnitude, and, as with all the power guys, guilty of causing death.
shouldnt the market have a drop down, and a scary one, before the last extreme blast up phase?
"Anything is possible. Never give up hope. In such a case, he should make sure to stay clear of nail guns."
As well as clear of unobstructed windows.
Yeah but it's "The Game" we are tired of.
It's rigged.
So he plays along, but count me out.
I would think most are tired of the game unless you are one of the "gamers". It isn't too difficult to understand, if one studies non-reformist history, the game has been played for thousands of years. As Solomon stated:
Ecc 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
Not to mention he endorsed and supported Mitt "Flip Flop" Romney.
you can apply that flip flop label equally to rand..
"we should not be giving american taxpayer's money away to foreign countries under any circumstances. I would end all foreign aid"
Even Israel, Rand?
"No, of course i didnt mean Israel. Obviously I support giving Israel foriegn aid money. Just Israel though, they are The One Country worthy of it. I never said I would end foreign aid to them. Who said I didn't support Israel, cuz i totally do. Like, all the time. More than anyone. In fact, Im the most supportive of Israel. Ever. "
(Obviously I was exaggerating on the quotes, but probably not by a lot)
No worries the aid will stop soon enough, soon no one will be accepting the dollar as it is.
Bullshit. Most of US .gov money is in places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt and Iraq. Your department of state is basically funding the Palestinian government as well. Hit up Wikipedia for the stats.
If by that you mean ignored, I agree. Unless they give him the decency of demonetization that they at least afforded his father on his last run.
Here's my prediction:
He will run on mostly neo-con principles, since he wants to be president way too bad to actually be consistent like his father. He won't go quite "neo-con enough" to win over the republican/isreal first wing(which is most republicans), but he will go neo-con enough to make his fathers supporters give up on him in disgust. He will stick around through a few primaries, and then drop out of the race, endorsing Jeb Bush, and giving him a disgustingly flattering speech at the convention when Jeb accepts the nomination(just like when he endorsed romney with HIS OWN FATHER STILL IN THE RACE). Jeb will then lose to Killary, who we will have to deal with for the next 8 years.
Downvote away, you mooks!!!
Upvote.
Now that I had to accept that, I think I am going to take the day off, head to a bar, and have a few beers and watch the ocean/mountains/sky.
Regards,
Cooter
CC,
Or the NCAA Tournament. March Madness, you know.
Beer and March Madness only way to lift me from the depressing reality of Greenskeeper's prediction.
Greenskeeper, you seem to be implying Rand is pretending to be a neocon to get votes. Maybe he really is a neocon.
If he tries to act republican and once elected turns into his dad, he should expect the JFK treatment. You don't con the con men and expect no blowback.
I wish you and your treasuries the best of luck. PS- and go fuck yourself old cooter, you will not escape the fire.
I downvoted only due to the "endorse Jeb Bush" part as just out of principle I'm sticking to my guns that he won't be the nominee.
my prediction holds the same no matter who the eventual nominee is. Jeb being the nominee is ancillary to my main prediction: Rand Pauls behaviour during and after his campaign. The evnetual republican nominee makes no difference, who ever wins is just the next face of the deep state/corporate war machine, and is irrelevent. Is the grovelling Rand will do afterwards I am refering to. He had a choice in the senate: be a consistent anti-war/bank/big govt type in his father's mold, which means an outsider, or be a garden variety republican that wants to be part of the club. He very clearly chose the latter
His father also has/had ties to the Freemasons, specifically the order of the Eastern Star. Rand will at least be allowed to participate because of this if he isn't himself also a fraternal member.
The site is a bit on the tinfoil side so you need to read for context not bias, but it covers the key points about Ron's ties to the Masons.
http://watch-unto-prayer.org/synarchy-6.html
People also seem to forget Ron Paul had been advocating for a single world wide currency, one has to ask who gets to create aka set the standards and create the currency etc. commodity based or otherwise.
http://www.singleglobalcurrency.org/governments.html
2001, March 13: U.S. Congressman Ron Paul, (Texas)
"There's nothing to fear from globalism, free trade and a single worldwide currency.... The effort in recent decades to unify government surveillance over all world trade and international financial transactions through the UN, IMF, World Bank, WTO, ICC, the OECD, and the Bank of International Settlements can never substitute for a peaceful world based on true free trade, freedom of movement, a single but sound market currency, and voluntary contracts with private property rights.... The ultimate solution will only come with the rejection of fiat money worldwide, and a restoration of commodity money. Commodity money if voluntarily and universally accepted could give us a single world currency requiring no money managers, no manipulators orchestrating a man-made business cycle with rampant price inflation."
Congressional Record, 13 March 2001
I don't disagree on most the points here but it is a bit naive to think there will be no manipulators because that assumes no counterfitting and no need to manage money and that people will accept a single commodity type universally and voluntary. The reason why people use minted coins instead of raw chunks of silver or gold is it deals with these issues.
And who controls the world's stockpiles of "commodity(ies)" which is/are to be used as "money"? And what authority should that warrant? Maybe a whole new paradigm is needed. Decentralized yes, friendly to the world's individiuals and industrial captains, yes! centrally controlled? NO Gold should not be on the list of possibilities. Let it trade openly, it is one of the time tested premier stores of value (for reasons i cannot understand), but don't accept it as backing for a public currency - this is asking to continue world slavery.
More importantly if you believe in voluntary exchange, voluntary exchange and a single currency is not workable. What if both parties want to voluntarily use a secondary currency but can't even if it is available to both because the market is rigged to only accept a single universal currency? Can you both choose to not use any currency at all either in that type of a setup? Without a none of the above or noparticipation option you can't have true voluntary exchange.
Don't blame me...I voted for Kodos
If the markets are all rigged by sophisticated HFT algos, just imagine what they can do with voting machines!
The media 'non-coverage' begins with the disappearance of another Paul candidate.
It's good to be optimistic, I suppose...
"Those wishing to get elected and stay elected must be prepared to break every moral rule they have ever known."
the key to unlimited power is murder--plain and simple
Not going to vote for Rand and even if his father was running I would not vote for Ron either.
I'm voting pure authoritarian from now on. Which ever candidate or laws that is the most destructive to liberty and freedom that's who and what I'll vote for.
lol
Me? I'm writing in Camacho
In that case, write me in. I promise you and the whole country will regret it.
Finally a politician that will keep campaign promises.
I like the way you think Creeps. One more reason the revolution will take no prisoners and will not be televised.
I understand that sentiment completely. Had the same thought myself. Put in the person who's the most likely to drive this whole thing rapidly into the ground, then we have a solid foundation to start fresh.
It won't work, by the way. The the deep state is self-sustaining now. It'll just make things worse for us, they'll still survive.
I'm hoping it will, but I know you're right.
A last ditch effort before a civil war 2.0 occurs. I'd rather this nation be redeemed without the loss of million of lives and while I still have the youth to do something about it.
Who the fuck else is worth voting for? I will try him in the hope that he is a wolf in sheeps clothing......to the banksters. Kinda like JFK.
I have to reject all the poor choices available. To vote at this point is to accept one spittle-laden bowl of thin gruel or another. They will not receive my validation of their treachery.
Vote for Pedro.
Who the fuck else is worth voting for? I will try him in the hope that he is a wolf in sheeps clothing......to the banksters. Kinda like JFK.
No one is forced to vote. When faced with the prospect of death by hanging or firing squad I would tell my executioner to surprise me.
Afternoon assumations. A whole lot can happen in 18 months...
We will never see the end of obama. The election wont happen and the didtator Obama will rule by marshall law
With help from Martial Dillon?
'They' said the same thing about Bush II.
Once you realize the puppetface doesn't matter, then you understand why they keep 'em changing. And if any one puppetface gets too uppidy, then they get 'corrected'.
why break the law to keep a certain puppet in there and cause such a constitutional ruccus, to the point where people would remember it existed?
no, far easier to put the next puppet in and keep the preponderance of the FSA thinking the government gives two shits about the constitution.
(I'd have said bill of rights, but really, how much of the FSA would get that knock?)
Having a full on Pfizer day today are we? That stuff goes great with vodka. But you knew that.
I'm passing. He's a watered down version of his father.
The perfect is the enemy of the good, dontcha know.
Not much like his dad, unless he's lying about half his positions, in which case, he's nothing like his dad.
This is how incrementalism happens, don't get fooled into believing he's going to slow the pace of endless war. Wake up and take the red pill.
doubtful
Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul · 24h 24 hours ago
Congrats to Prime Minister @netanyahu on his historic re-election to a 4th term as Israel's leader. Israel is a strong ally & friend!
Whatever you think of him, can he really tweet anything else??? Did anyone currently in federal government or with the potential to be elected there offer any disappointment at Bibi's reelection? It is what it is. Paul could be the first rogue since Kennedy. Hopefully with better results.
or just not say anything or stick to your alleged anti-war views
And then he'd face the suspicion and scorn of AIPAC. I'm just saying it is what it is dude. If you're looking for a viable presidential candidate to openly criticize or even be silent on Israel issues you're not gonna get it. Give the man a chance to get in. Kennedy turned on the Mafia once they got him elected. Rand can do the same on these foreign interests controlling our politics.
"he's the best chance at slowing the pace of endless war"
C'mon redpill, you've been around long enough to know that when you're owned by Israel, nothing will change...
As much as i like him , not sure I want him to get the blame for what's coming. And he can't stop it.
Exactly. I don't think he's got the stomach for it. He may end up like Louis.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_of_Terror
They all get my vote....to go away.
Voting is simply a suggestion box for slaves.
Rand Paul is the same low-life POS politician.
Was he the first to congratulate the newly elected Israeli leader?
Bullshit. He's been blessed by the tribe. Bill Mahar blew him on stage. Full marijuana legalization with little Randy as prez, same as usual otherwise.
No worries there. He seems to be toeing the neocon line, unless it's some sort of rube to get the gray haired evangelical war-mongering FAUX News watching social security loving corporate welfare loving tardfucks to vote for him. Hard to tell. Politicians are a lying bunch.
True, the way he sucks Israel's ass nothing will happen to him.
We don't know everything that Rand thinks. I agree that he is the best bet againt the DC psychopaths who are destroying this country and others as fast as they can. If he voices too much independence he will be blocked. Noobidy can keep more than a few promises or goals after election, because upon entering a given office there is a maze of contracts, alliances, conflicts, etc., that hold up any real progress. If they can deliver on one or two good reforms they're lucky. If Rand can reform taxes and related problems it would be a great start.
He might be the guy who will save the US before total destruction. The US state is going to fail entirely, this is what I feel and hear from folks around me, I live in Europe. I see the US with GB playing against the whole world, what the fuck they think is going to happen? They rely on chaos and failed countries, and as cluborlov I think has mentioned it: what if they fail in making fail others? It's going full retard.
The real problem are not taxes, it's the FED, Bank of England, Royal Crown and Washington and the whole bunch of banksters, psychopats and the network of gov supported institues, funds and foundations and hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats getting paid to manage the so called laws created by the oligarchy. When all these are gone then most of issues will be a child play.
rand is randy of the redwoods, no shot other than to split the anti-liberal vote we are so fukked
Split the vote? Do you think he will run as an independent if he doesn't win the primary?
Your avatar sucks Israeli cock.
Rand Paul is a traitor to his country.
His father should be ashamed.
His father is secretly ashamed.
Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and Scott Walker will all have the opportunity to compete for my vote in the primary. I'm listening.
However, If the Republicans nominate another RINO like Jeb Bush or Chris Christie they can forget about my vote in November.
its ok citizen, diebold wont forget.
And travel with body-doubles
Don't worry. They won't shoot him until AFTER they install him.
http://redefininggod.com/nwo-schedule-of-implementation/
He talks out of so many sides of his mouth that I frankly don't trust him one bit.
Have fun with Hitlary
vote for paul or the communist party aint the two party system great?
Compared to which other politician?
Good for him. Will make it more interesting before Jeb gets the nod. He should choose his father as VP before the primaries.
If he and Scot Walker play the primary right and one concedes support to the other not too early and not too late in the game they could knock Jeb out.
Do you mean Scott the 'We have to do everything we can to protect our most valuable ally Israel' Walker?
I do prefer Paul but hell, there is no way of telling what we'd get with any of them except Bush and Hitlery. Those two are the only ones who have real (evil) history.
1st Commandment of presidential politics.
Suck up to Israel.
Rand Paul: "Mmmm...I luvs me some Israeli cock...yummy, yummy, yummy"!
No thanks.
Ah yes, another loyal member of the satanic ashkenazi tribe. Different name,same party and same fucking outcome.
Since when are the Pauls Jewish?
That would come as a huge surprise to the Jew-baiters at lewrockwell.com.
I don't claim the Paul's or Rand Paul specifically to be actually jewish. I am stating from Rand Paul's stance on many topics, including comments he has made publicly, who he actually serves. And his master(s) is the top of the askenazi satanic tribe.
Statements like?
If I need to remind you then you are either
A. government troll
B. Not paying attention especially as a ZH member. Do your homework.
Lets chalk it up to a bad memory, one example is fine.
Old saying, Never trust a man with 2 first names.
the associated press tweeted a pic of presidential candidates... is it just me or did they not include paul?
https://twitter.com/AP/status/578609410047655936
"associated press"? Associated with what?
Pressing the truth away from public view?
certainly a better option than Hildabeast. Or that muslim traitor we've got now. of course, it's all relative, as there are 500 CONgressmen still taking bribes in exchange for "favorable" legislation.
Rand Paul worships Israel.
We need politicians who will put America first.
[right now we have none]
Politicians do their best work and cause less damage when they're six feet under....
"Hope. Change. [Insert Name Here] for President."
Rand isn't Ron. You can take that any way you want.
True, no father is the same as their son but you better believe that the father shapes the son's views and interpretations of the world they live in.
Is that why he supported Romney instead of his father?
Any other questions I can help you with?
They still eat dinner together at holidays so I guess that they came to that decision together. A bad one but one none the less.
Wrong again. Ron Paul came out publicly against Romney and was still running when Rand endorsed Flip Flop.
Did you not follow the Ron Paul campaign?
Rand Paul:
"Slurp, slurp, slurp....hey Bibi, when are you gonna cum...I'm getting tired of slurping?"
Yawn.
OT sort of
President Obama Calls For Mandatory, Forced Voting
http://www.breaking911.com/president-obama-calls-for-mandatory-forced-vo...
Why would they force voting? No matter which side wins, the same corporations that both parties work for will still write the laws.
It would back fire for the Dems, thier rank and file don't give a filing shit about laws. The Right wingers on the other hand will be there in record numbers. Now that said will they vote for the selected Repub candidate?
This is fake. But if it was real it would only apply to illegals. Vote for me or swim back.
"Sluuuurrrrrp!"
To maintain the appearance of legitimacy.
I've noted this a few times recently, increasingly the current government is losing a legitimate claim to power. Not voting isn't necessarily apathy, but people revoking their consent. Especially at the federal level, to vote is to indicate you have faith that the system is actually presenting choices and giving the system legitimacy.
As we go further down the path of destruction, fewer and fewer people believe the choices being made by the government are in their best interests, and more and more legitimacy is lost. At some point that reaches a threshold and you get your _____ Spring moment. To prevent that from happening TPTB are more than happy to force people into "supporting" the government. It's the same reason you have propaganda like "if you don't vote, you don't have a right to complain."
Every day the US looks more like Stalinist Russia and less like the free country it once was, this is just one of many instances.
agreed
if they allowed us to vote from our home via a computer or something, it might get people more involved. it might allow people to make a more thoughtful educated decision. when you go to a ballot box, you are rushed and are presented with little or no background. it would be nice to allow the public to have some input into the candidate selection process/primaries. however this might be all too late.
How could they enforce it? Subject to arrest if you don't vote?
IF they go this route, look for some type of national voting holiday and/or some type of refundable tax credit. Who knows, maybe it will turn into some type of online voting (as if diebold isn't bad enough).
All voting will be online - trust us - it's easier than voting in person!
Taxes would be my expectation. Obamacare is the template: do as we say or we will take your money.
yup. SSN# is your mark of the beast stamp given to shackle you to the debt burnden of ussa
"Why would they force voting?"
Since Olamo can't get the amnesty passed he decided to do it one piece at a time. By making voting mandatory everyone, including illegals, will get a license or ID thus giving them one more piece of 'leagal' puzzle - voting is another piece.
Best looking girl in the leper colony.
I have some real problems with him. But I also support enough of his platform to consider full support. I just need him to address the Washington Zionist elite problem. If he denounces the war mongering zionists, and vows to limit the corporate money he takes, I might consider sending him money and getting friends to do the same. But I want change, no more bullshit lies, and then turn around and just give us more of The Federal Reserve, The NSA, The CIA, The Koch Brothers, The Pentagon, Corporate Crony Rule, and the All Powerful Banking Elite. End Zionist Rule over us Americans, I am sick of rule from Tel Aviv.
Example Syriza. 'Nuff said. Politicians are liars, period.
Rand paul would slober on Bibi's nuts if he asked.
Right...
see you are a government troll. Go ahead and keep your 80's 3d glasses on. It suits you well.
I post here all the time on diffrent topics, whos trolling who here? I have always openly supported Rand Paul, hell I have had the same avatar since the first day on here. If you don't like him that's cool but don't hate on me because I do support him. When a statement is made like "Suck on balls" and I don't agree with it you call me a troll. Go back to your parents basement.
Froze25, Lets keep this simple. So you been here a while, then why and the hell are you still believing in a red/blue team political system? You should know better than that, yet you are defending Rand Paul. If not me someone else will call you out for believing in either republican or democrat. When will you realize they are exactly the same? They do not give a shit about either of our family's issues although they will state otherwise. They are liar's and serve a master that is not any good to the world.
I'm skeptical that there will be a 2016 election. Too much evidence that since Bush penned PSD51 that the Shadow Gov. (CFR) wants to seize power as a Deep State. A Government with a country & not a Country with a Government.
