Now that Rand Paul is out of the race for the White House his father Ron Paul, who ran in 2008 and 2012, isn’t impressed by Ted Cruz’s attempts to pick up the “free market” libertarian banner.
“You take a guy like Cruz, people are liking the Cruz — they think he’s for the free market, and [in reality] he’s owned by Goldman Sachs. I mean, he and Hillary have more in common than we would have with either Cruz or Trump or any of them so I just don’t think there is much picking,” Paul said of the Texas senator on Fox Business’ “Varney & Company” on Friday.
Surprisingly, the elder Paul seemed more attracted to the views of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is giving Hillary Clinton a run for her money in the Democratic primary.
“On occasion, Bernie comes up with libertarian views when he talks about taking away the cronyism on Wall Street, so in essence he’s right, and occasionally he voted against war,” the former Texas congressman said when asked if there was a candidate who was truly for the free market.
“It’s hard to find anybody — since Rand is out of it — anybody that would take a libertarian position, hardcore libertarian position on privacy, on the war issue and on economic policy,” Paul added.
“So I always say: You can search for a long time, but you’re not gonna find anybody in the Republican or Democratic primary that even comes slightly close to ever being able to claim themselves a libertarian,” he concluded.

Ted Cruz is an establishment Republican.
He may talk in more conservative terms than the other establishment Republicans but he will fall in line the same way Ryan has when the ruling Republican establishment tells him to do something.
And the ruling Republican establishment has no allegiance at all to the professed Republican party platform it presents to the people to deceive them about what they really intend.
Ron isn’t even running for prez and Politiwhore still uses a crap photo of the good doctor.
FUCK those presstitutes.
See you guys, it’s like I’ve been telling you, and Uncle Ron agrees. Bernie is the guy to get behind for ALL our best interests. Like Ron Paul, he’s honest. And the rest of these motherfuckers are snake oil salesmen/women.
All you lizard-brained GOPers will love this:

Westcoast, cruz was a one day wonder, the salon writer actually gets him pretty accurately. And it’s only 5 weeks until I get to feel the bern, and pull the lever for bernie sanders. Hard to believe, but it’s going to happen. Now I just need a Che Guevara t-shirt to wear to the polls and my day as a socialist will be complete.
Westie, Salon, Strauss & Howe are right. We all might want to prepare for the 4th Berning. Just in case…
Vote for Bernie the socialist. Or, if you are conservative, maybe go with Yahoo’s advice & vote Rubio?
After all, it’s not like Salon or Yahoo are owned by any of the six corporations that constitute the mainstream media. Yahoo says vote Rubio over Jeb. I’m sold.

Truth is, I’m so sick of the bullshit I can’t stand it. My eyes and ears bleed out every day. Oh well. Looking forward to the Superbowl tomorrow, tho. Got my corn chips, caso dip & Coors Silver Bullets all locked & loaded. Fuck doom…
Republican debate: bla, bla, bla. A bunch of horseshit. A dog and pony show for all to see. The establishment will never let Trump win. They gave up on Jeb and now Rubio is thier shiny new penny, with Goldman Sach’s little bitch Ted Cruz as a final back-up. Or, if not Rubio or Cruz, the Hildabeast or Bernie is their fucking wet dream. Either way, the establishment wins. Sad but true. Fucking bastards make me sick…
Republican debate? The game show Jeopardy has more credibility & is way more entertaining. Fucking assholes.
Democrats? Even worse. We’re all fucked. It’s just a matter of time….
That said, have a nice night everyone.
One last thing – if Trump, Rubio, Cruz, Hildabeast, or Bernie wins the presidency, I’m sure any one of them will end the trampling of the Fourth Amendment here in America by prosecuting Edward Snowden. So that’s a relief…
Unverified, have your testicles even descended yet? What gender did the doctor write on your birth certificate? I’m guessing it was a plus sign with an arrow on top and an O on the bottom.
It seems to me that Unverified was slingin’ some booze and singin’ the blues
