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.

Power has been siezed by a shadow govt a long time ago. These elections are simply theater at this point. How anybody can actually get excited about any candidate anymore is a mystery to me.
You would be right. We have a great pension plan btw, on your expense of course.
VooDoo, this is really a clueless statement, implying you actually believe Obozo or Shrub were really in charge. The puppet only exists to give the deep state a public face and a mouth piece for propaganda. That face has to change every 4-8 years so the sheeple still think the constitution matters.
That is why Obozo just goes around playing golf and having fancy parties, until the next time he's needed to read from the teleprompter.
There will be an Election©
Brain damaged from vaccinations.
Send Moola, it'll make you feel good.
That apple fell a bit far away from the tree and has begun to rot. Perhaps he is not yet too far gone.....?
HE COULD NOT EVEN SUPPORT HIS DAD FOR PRES...FUCK EM
fuking a right brother fuck him! Let's have thunderdome for presidential selections two politicians enter one leave
Janet run bartertown
Good for him. It will make the republican primaries more interesting.
In the end, we will have a choice between a bloated neocon pig or a sociopathic warmongering grifter (Jeb or Hillary). One of them will win the election. Either way, America will lose.
Five years from now, we will be yearning for the Good Ol' Days of W and barry.
your post caused me great confusion.... which one of them is the "bloated neocon pig" and which one is the "sociopathic warmongering grifter"?
Now that you mention it, they are interchangeable.
These are the two people that the US system will select from. That's one more reason why the country is doomed.
.
I'm voting for him, sorry for those who hate that but there's simply no other option. There is no freakin way I'm voting for Hillary or Biden or whatever pathethic shill the Dems put forward. Hopefully, if Rand wins he just goes apeshit and turns into a Super Libertarian since he won. Then in the 4 years he has before Americans vote him out he literally destroys as much government bureaucracy and overreach as possible.
A short, brief, yet rapid destruction. Like Breaking Bad in politics.
You lost me at "I'm voting..."
Literally lol Jstanley011, you,d think by now most readers of ZH would get the "voting is a criminal act by proxy" thing . Shall I explain , nah , just "keep coming back bro"
The government is constitutionally illegitimate. And I'm going to lend it my consent by voting? No.
I've voted twice in my life. 2008 for Ron Paul, and 2012 for Ron Paul. I don't regret it.
Out of kindness, stanley. Allow him his ignorance... it gives him hope.
Voting twice for Ron Paul = ignorance.
You are a tool
Sir or Ma'am, no offense. It was a jest. My account is meant to be satire on some posts. I quoted a certain character, that my account portrays.
In case you haven't noticed, there never is "another" option. That's why so many don't vote. Public life attracts losers who can't do anything substantive in the real world, or control freaks who think they can do it better than anyone else.
...and yet, in "undemocratic" Russia...
http://rt.com/politics/161084-duma-none-vote-russian/
Yeah, it's only at the municipal level, but hey, at least they have that choice.
Which is exactly why Ron Paul was blackballed on the MSM and kicked out of the debates even though he was the front runner for the GOP. That event proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Republic has been lost.
Voting will not change a thing now.
No, you can vote Constitution or Libertarain, which I may still do, although I could vote for Rand.
I support that, now let the usual suspects call me a troll for supporting you.
we're all saved!!!!
yeah, right.
DEATH TO THE MONEYCHANGERS.
a studge of dual citizens
Vote every incumbent out of office every two years; one advantage of that and there are many, would be that they would not spend 1/2 their time trying to get re-elected and we would not be barraged with political campaign bullshit which stops only on days the sun does not rise...THAT alone would be a huge blessing, but ya gotta vote the bums out every 2 years!!! Not one of those 535 knuckleheads is indispensable!
Don't worry all you "Paul haters" out there, the Establishment will never in a thousand years let someone who even remotely believes in the Constitution become president. Only a tyrant will do for you!
At this point in time, what difference does it make? How many presidents you desire to have if none of them can give you any meaningful change?
Ill vote for him, sure beats the cock suckers we have now.
Rand was speaking at yet another black gathering this time black college students. I know Rand went down to Guatemala during the summer invasion of Texas by Guatemalan males and other Central American countries, to do free eye surgery for brown folks. You see Whites are not of interest to Rand and the rest of the GOP save for Jeff Sessions and a handful of others.
Well Rand I know you were damning society and the cops for the Gentle Giant's passing, but Rand what do you think about this?
The attackers "APPEARED" to be black!!
Indianapolis Playground Beating: Girl and Her Little Brother Brutally Attacked in Park March 15, 2015
The Indianapolis playground beating may have been racially motivated. The victim and her brother were white and the attackers appeared to be black. As the victim was asking why she was being attacked, one of the boys in the group appeared to answer, “You white, bitch.”
Young Girl and Little Brother attacked
Video posted on Facebook of brutal attack on a female and her little brother

Did you see that, Rand, on CNN or NBC or CBS or ABC or NPR?
What about this Rand?
The NAACP blames it on schools too tough on African-Americans!

I know you like the NAACP Rand do you agree with them that it is School Discipline why these young blacks are FORCED to murder, and usually, RAPE White women in their 80s and 90s?
Rand I know you are good friends with AIPAC and are SOLID on Israel, do you think, Rand, we can have the kind of immigration law that Israel has? Oh that's right you are for AMNESTY for the latinos and the rest of the world, you and Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney and in fact ALL OF THE OTHER GOP candidates.
Hey Rand, do you follow the local news stories at all? I know it is very hard when the media describes the assailants of White folks as "teens" or a "man" but digging really deep some private citizens are ferreting out what Mainstream Media HIDES from the masses of White people who only get their information from TV, and radio and the rest not from ZH for instance.
So Rand let me leave you with this:
Since whites are being attacked as a race, we have no other choice but to defend ourselves as Whites. .gov discriminates against us, private businesses discriminate against us, the mainstream media conducts mind-warfare against us, and people of color are SLAUGHTERING White men and women and children DAILY, with liberal doses of rape and torture as well.
See: http://newnation.org/
Didnt know they gave you internet access in prison, Mr. Manson.
Laddie does that little girl and boy have big brothers , a father , a community ? Those animals that did that to them need to be seriously taken down . What is wrong with your country ? Anyone did that to my child they would be looking over their shoulder for the rest of their not so long lives
Now,now that would be a hate crime against a black woman. Tough one a black and female?? That will count as a double dose of not responsible..
Can't lie. I'm not very interested. Sorry Rand your about 7 years too late for me to get excited.
Running as a Republicrat! Shot right through his foot, lucky it was in his mouth!
Like father, like son. Ron was a con man who regularly stuffed pork into bills in committee, and then made a big show of voting against them so suckers in every state would keep sending him the money needed to finance his campaigns. Of course, his district thrust him into office over and over on account of the pork, not the libertarian posturing.
Rand doesn't even bother pretending to be a libertarian. He's just another Republican who got into Congress on the strength of his dad's name. Even the Bushes do as much---and unless you have the kinds of connections the Bushes have, the strength of your dad's name simply isn't going to cut it for the POTUS nomination.
Forgive me if I don't wish him luck, because if he's serious about the job and doesn't just want the rubes to pay for his lecture tour, Rand's going to need it.
He's not his father.
Unlike Rand, you won't see his father sabotaging his election campaign.
Seriously, what kind of an oepidal wanker publicly announces his support for his dad's rival during the most important political race in America? He's a prick.
Exactly right, Rand endorsed Mitt Romney over his father, Ron Paul. What a little weasel. To me that shows weak leadership, endorsing Mitt Romney is perhaps the worst mistake everrrrrrrr!
big whoop
didn't he trade an "audit the fed" bill for not confirming yellen in lame duck but janaury?
And I'll still be writing in Ron Paul! Rand is a neocon, he's like Tom Cotton, a darling of the neocons.
I always write in: 'Eat Shit and Die' if there is a write in candidate field.
Yeh, voting is such an illusion. Goldman Sachs picks the two autmatons. That people think that voting changes anything is the real tragedy. What I like to say, "vote harder" only the anarchists get this.
Tom Cotton went to Harvard - he's got a big Kosher K on his ass.
Rand is a go along to get along. I heard him on the radio one day, he was asked about the lowlife piece of shit(my words) Harry Reid.
He told the interveiwer that Reid was a freind of his and that they worked together.
So fuck off Rand! Just another D.C. turd in the cesspool!
Yawn.
Ron Paul provided a great service by trying to educate the American people. There are many more people who know about the Federal Reserve and the nature of money because of his influence. - He knew that he could never take the American people where they were too ignorant to follow - toward true Liberty and peace. The brainwashing holds them too tight. He is working on a home schooling curriculum for educating young Americans now. IMO he didn't go far enough in his statements, but probably as far as was possible. When the war propaganda movie 'American Sniper' is a hit smash earning millions, - what can you do with a people like that ?
As for Rand ? Meh. His Dad was likely the last true long shot hope that things could be turned around by the ballot box. But, that would have taken a level of awakened intelligence and awareness in the American people that would have been a miracle. (An overwhelming landslide so the election couldn't be fixed.)
You can do it the hard way or the easy way - and it looks like Americans chose the hard way. So did the Germans in the 1930s, and so many others in the past.
Go ahead and vote for your preferred version of a political solution. Sometimes you fuckers disappoint me.....
People need a team. They need to feel important. Don't tell them their favorite group is a lie along with their vote.
Some people believe they have violence enforced 'authority' over others and that 'voting' makes this legit.
He may be the only candidate who will not lead us to nuclear annihilation.
He is the only 1 I could vote for. Otherwise it will be the Libertarian or Constitution Party.
Tracerfan : He may be the only candidate who will not lead us to nuclear annihilation.
Maybe not, he's Bibi's beyotch.
Don't know about that. Something call "deterent", which of course we don't exhibit today, but the majority of GOP likely's are capable of building and showing large deterents.
No way. This is Ron Paul's son? No to both.
Since the answer is yes to both what remains, no matter how painful it is to you, must be the truth. Fuck the media.
unfortunately he has no unshakeable principles..he takes monsanto money. sorry, any hope and change died looong ago. the pres is a puppet show
Monsanto Money??? OMG, give that shit a rest. Not an ounce a big deal compared to Geo Soros $ or Muslim Bro $.
Paul the younger is not the elder
Seriously one of my favs.
Rand Paul is the demon spawn of TPTB.
He is fully owned.
To me he is just a way to drain off energy of people who think he will do something. I don't beleive the guy. His dad had a prime chair when the Repubs were in power. Instead of using it to subpoena the different "actors" he is constantly talking about screwing things up, he wasted the entire time "running for president" when everyone knows he would never be ALLOWED to win. So yes, I am suspicious of his son who "won" right after his dad wasted all of his time "running". Just seemed a bit convenient to me. You have to have an avenue available to drain off the libertarians energies. I guess he has been chosen. Whenever someone is chosen like that, I'm sorry but I suspect the worst. Just saying.
Snowball in hells chance. If he ever mentions 'The Fed', his entire campaign is toast.
Best dirty shirt in the laundry at the moment.
Along with mandatory voting, I think there should be open candidacy... just give everyone a blank sheet of paper and ask them to write who they want to be king, then throw the paper in the trash. Undoubtedly, King Obama will keep the throne for a 3 term.
You guys are being entirely too harsh...I assure you Rand is Trojaning as towing the establishment line and God willing once he is in he will go "Full Ron Paul"...he has immense love and respect for his father...he is his fathers son but his father has instructed him to infiltrate and pose as a puppet....
As we all are accustomed to politicians making grand claims...becoming elected and turning into a status quo pimper once in office...Rand will do the same but in reverse...the NWO pimps are aware of this and that is why they will submarine him like his father in the MSM when he becomes a threat..
Seeing discussions of Prez candidates is quite sad. Recall the past couple decades any? The next one will be hand picked again folks. The state of the country cannot be eased back on track, it has to be bitch slapped. No more FED, lobbying, corp/private welfare, debt, wars, etc..... guess what, 2016 all of that will be in tact.
anybody but hilary and jeb...anybody
Agreed. If it's Jeb, I'm just staying home.
Everyone criticizing Rand's support for Israel, and some of his other statements that sound a little too neoconnish, need to remember something.
His dad told the truth - and got CRUCIFIED for it in the media, from all sides.
If you don't WIN, you can't do a damn thing. And if you don't snorkle the Zionist sausage, YOU DON'T WIN IN AMERICA. PERIOD. END OF DISCUSSION. I shouldn't even have to point this out here at ZH.
I'm not going to go into details, but I'm privvy to just a touch of inside info on Senator Paul. He is attempting to replicate Reagan's media "Teflon," which is no easy feat in this utterly insane 21st Century world. The psychopathic globalist Pharisees control EVERYTHING, folks, right down to how the computerized voting machine records your vote.
It's true that Rand will not replicate Sherman's March To The Sea through the middle of D.C. like his dad would have done. However, he is the ONLY ONE RUNNING who has even a glimmer of desire to thwart the globalist Pharisees. Your other choices are Hitlery, Jebba the Buttmunch, Sta-Puft Christie, or some complete toolbag like Santorum.
Rand may be a long shot, but folks - he's our ONLY shot. And them's just the facts.
You sound like a tool with your "touch of inside info" bullshit. Ron and Rand are both controlled opposition, period.
You, of course, are totally correct in that everything is hopeless, so why not just eat a .45 slug?
The tool is you. Fact is, I am acquainted with someone, and that's all I intend to say about it.
I nominate this for "Most Naive Comment of the Week."
HopefulCyncial
You're quite right. With any of the other candidates -- Dem or Rep -- it will be ceaseless militarism and endless warfare.
In view of the nature of the American state, conducting a non-miitarized foreign policy rooted in the natonal interest, won't be easy but Rand Paul is the only one who supports such a policy and has a ghost of a chance to make it happen.
+1 for "snorkling the Zionist sausage".
My money is on Barry not leaving office and the Congress/Sheeple will do nothing to stop it.
Months will pass and the sheeple will grow to accept the situation and Obama will be "president" for another decade.
Far fetched? Not really...
Even if you're wrong, you're right. If it's not Obama, it will be his clone.
The Pauls play the treason game very well.
http://redefininggod.com/category/ron-paul/
Great find DORK and I mean that most sincerely :)
Zionist Bitch...saying that, he is probably not as bad as the rest of them.
I don't a bunch of cash to the father to keep the message going. Unwavering message/principles win the father.
The son is squishy on so many issues that I no longer believe he is preaching bullshit to get into office and then will switch up to be Ron Paul.
Is he better than Jeb and Rubio? Yup. Is he Ron Paul? Nope.
I don't know why he would run. Zero chance of winning. Not annointed by bankers or MIC so how much money could he raise? And MSM will pretend that he does not exist.
You will know that he has met the requirements and won't do anything with power if he does start to raise a lot of cash and the MSM starts to acknowledge his existence.
Red or blue it doesn't matter because America is a one party state.
Given that we are fucked no matter who we vote for... I'm going for the best looking wife. Call me shallow but I see the upside. Kelly Paul is a freelance writer (not on some bankers payroll like Mrs Cruz). She is a whole lot easier on the eyes than Moochie.
http://ww3.hdnux.com/photos/71/56/236478/3/628x471.jpg
I would vote for him over Clinton or Bush, but that isn't really saying much.
From what I've seen he is not a chip off the old block.
Vote away. And when you're done you might as well go bang your head into a wall. Same result.
Long Blimps & Overpass Banners!
Seems to me Rand is pulling an Obama... anti-interventionist until elected, pro legalization..till elected, strict constitutionalist.. until elected, audit the Fed.. until elected.
Ends up being fervent neo-con.
My impression of the media if Rand wins the nomination
Media: Rand Paul wins the republican nomination, but what may be more important, is who came in 2nd. Scott Walker!
*Que 15 minute long segment on Scott Walker*
End Broadcast.
In order to have a brighter future, collapse is necessary. It's nature.
I hope Carl is wrong. He's the only one of the bunch right now I could see myself showing up to the polls for on election day. Otherwise, I'm going to Brewster's Millions it.
Stop voting. Seriously, stop voting. You won't believe how much better you'll feel knowing you've stopped contributing to this circle-jerking madness.
I'm a big Tool fan....
Rand is a total system stooge and owned by the Zio's (like all the rest). If Americans can get the energy to put a Fascist party on the ticket I'll bother to vote again - stopped years ago after Reagen shafted us with the "MLK Holiday".
UNELECTABLE!
I'm sure his dad didn't spend my money from 2008 and 12. Rand, Just ask him for my contribution
Rand Paul is not Ron Paul. Not even close. Based upon past behavior, I would expect Rand Paul to ignore all his campaign promises and behave just like the rest of the neocons (of which he is one as far as I'm concerned).
Anyone who imagines in their wildest dreams that Rand Paul is [like] Ron Paul needs to explain why Rand officially supported Mitt Romney for president while his father Ron Paul was still running.
To vote is to sanction dedicated predators to abuse billions. So don't vote, help, sanction, support, finance or contribute. Work to get yourself outta dodge and/or thwart and eliminate human predators.
Reject the fictional concept that is "authority". Nobody has authority over you, and nobody CAN have authority over you. NOBODY. So don't support human predators, and don't accept their claims you must obey them and fund them. Do the opposite.
You have NEVER posted one thing that I disagree with.
Always appreciate your POV.
"Rand officially supported Mitt Romney for president while his father Ron Paul was still running."
That did not happen. The primaries were conclusively decided and the elder Paul, having been sacked by the media all along, was out. The sitting Senator dutifully supported the party nominee in the only political process available, assuring his only chance of running for President with at least some of his party's backing. When the primaries were decided, Ron Paul continued "campaigning" for the expressed purpose of getting his message out and perhaps swinging the dialogue his way - that is not the same thing as "running", and I think you know it.
Wrong. Go back and look it up. Beyond that, Rand Paul may as well admit he is a neocon, though perhaps wrapped in apparently kinder, gentler fiat wrapping paper.
First rule of the fight club
First rule of the fight club...... Learn from PAPA
Rand feels like he is most qualified: he's put on the beanie and pondered before the old Roman Pissing Wall, blamed Detroit on Liberal Democrats, joined Sharpton in the anti police/Negros are above the law rhetoric and otherwise sucked up to every neocom, system Republican meme - he's probably thinking "How can I lose ?"
He's not Republican. But he used to be.
Jim Webb, former Senator from Virginia and former Marine, and former Secretary of the Navy is the real deal. Right now, he is getting no coverage at all.
Impossible. Either he will be shot or his family will be threatened. The NWO crowd will not permit it.
When you pick the Lesser of Two Evils you still get Evil.
Just a nut job.
Sorry I wish it were not true too.
