Rand just quit about a half hour ago.

This will make the war mongering GOP cream their jeans in excitement. 

Now that they have managed to silence the only voice of peace and sound economic policy. 

I didn't supply a link because you'll hear it soon anyway. 

It's a sad day for the future of liberty.

Hopefully, the environment will be better for Liberty then. By then, the consequences from our foreign policy will be more evident. Same for the petrodollar monitory policy.  There won't be a Bernie siphoning his votes from the left.  There won't be a Trump.  Still writing him in.

Those who are; are those whom are not.

I mean, its disappointing. Whether or not you win, the idea is also to spread the message of liberty. You said it so for yourself, Rand. And he had that ability being on the national stage. I was hoping for at least one more good round of debating where he beat up his opponents with some liberty knowledge, but no. Well, it looks like I'm abstaining from voting this primary election cycle

This is the smartest thing he's done the entire campaign. This election is a side show for a dumbed down and mind controlled populous. They haven't been clubbed over the head enough yet to wake up, not sure that will work either. I suspect the election dialog will now rapidly digress further into the abyss. Rand can stand back and say I told you so. If he's really smart he would start distancing himself from the republican party, which is an embarrassment. Like it's some great privilege to represent a bunch of idiots anyway. Once you strip away the propaganda, debt and stupidity from this country there's not much left except to lose the next world war.

he is ignoring the very large liberty presence in that state and taking away from the liberty movement while giving away support to the republican establishment (who I are probably still planning a Bush nomination)

where he would have had a lot of support and thus more exposure to the Liberty Movement he claims he is committted too....hmmmm this looks more like an cower to the establishment and I am beginning to distrust Rand Paul :(

I just cannot understand why? You have support! While I understand liberty is not found or spread by any one individual, Rand was in the best position to keep spreading it all the way to the final vote. The Republican party just permanently lost a voter in me. Since switching to Republican it has been literally more disappointment than ever.

Liberty is dwindling. But Liberty is not going away. We will fight to the bitter end

Rand didn't have a lot of steam finishing in 5th place. At some point you need to cut your losses. He will still be around in the Senate and now he can influence the race from the outside.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

How, exactly, is Rand going to be able to influence the race form the outside when he sure as hell couldn't influence from the inside?  Sure, he didn't have a lot of steam being in 5th place but he had a lot more steam than Bush, Kasich, Christie and all the others who are still in it.  If you mean that he has money issues, well, that may be true but I still think that he was bringing in enough to keep going at least through New Hampshire.

would have been another push for the LIberty Movement - this has Republican Establishment written all over it and he just lost my trust and support

in retrospect, I don't think that word gets even close as an expression of my emotional state right now.

Many words come to my mind.   

The dirty Republican party wants war so bad they can taste it. 

Once Cruz or Rubio start carpet bombing the middle East we will have to look around every corner right here at home.

We are screwed now.
