Ron Paul supporters: here's the ultimate reason you need to drop the GOP and go Libertarian after Tampa
Arvin Vohra, Libertarian candidate for US House in Maryland, nails it.
After pointing out all the pressure put on Rand Paul not to allow his father to bolt, and the pressure put on Ron Paul himself not to attack Mitt Romney directly with everything he had, Arvin hits the Money Quote:

The notion of “working within” the Republican Party is ludi crous. If the Repuli can establishment can pressure Ron Paul into foregoing attacks on a super-statist like Mitt Romney, then what could they do to the rest of us?

If Romney's a "statist" as you suggest, that would make CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, WaPo, LA Times, Debbie Blabber-mouth Schultz, Obama, Hillary and the rest, flaming Nazi-Fascist-Stalinist-Pol Potian Genocidal Communist maniacs."
Given that he has proposed more money for defense, left Medicare off the table for budget-balancing purposes, and proposes either continuing or expanding Federal intrusion into public education, it's difficult to see how one could make that case, huh?
Appealing to Barack Obama as evidence of Mitt's libertarianism pretty much only means you're desperate because nobody else is calling him that.
Dude, I'd describe more money for fighting Islamo-Naziism as absolutely PRO-LIBERTY.
Islamism is Statist.
It's just assinine to attack someone who is with us on 70% of the issues (I'd argue Mitt is with libertarians more like 90% of the time).
When you've got someone who is with us 0% of the time.
Here's an analogy.
Yes, Communist Vietnam sucked! They were an absolute hellhole in the 1970s. Mortal enemies of the United States. Probably about a 10% on the freedom scale.
But ya know what? Right next door there was another country, a complete 0 on the freedom scale: Pol Pot's Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge.
Mass genocide. Never seen before in human history. Estimated 2 million Cambodians slaughtered in some of the most brutal ways imaginable out of a population of 6.5 million. Made Hitler's Nazis look like a kindergarten class.
Do you support the horrible Vietnamese Communists in their invasion of Cambodia to stop the slaughter. Abso-fuckin'-lutely! You don't even think about it.
Obama - Romney.
Do you support the guy who is with us 70% of the time over the guy who is with us 0% of the time?
Abso-fuckin-lutely!
