Yeah that was from a lengthy discussion I had with Neo, here. (Part of the greatest hits collection 
)
But as was resurrected in the recent RNC thread, Rand Paul freely admitted he wasn’t a libertarian years ago. I have a hard time he’s been pretending all this time, and is still going at it. I mean, at what point do you go so deep undercover that you actually end up doing more harm to the supposed “real” cause, and more help to the false one?
Whoa. That’s not at all the way I interpreted that. You’re saying that Rand was fooled into “go-along-to-get-along” by these two characters with their ulterior motives…and Rand is just an unsuspecting pawn? That’s not what I think, and it sure didn’t sound like that’s what Franchi thinks either.
Good job on the reference links with all the rest of that post. I’ll add these two threads as well. They contain all the discussion and various links and videos outlining all this Ron / Benton / Rand stuff:
Ron Paul ends campaigning, but stays in the race for GOP nomination
