Teleprompter: “The Ayes Have It!”


Teleprompter: "The Ayes Have It!"
Written by Gary North on September 1, 2012

Somehow, the bus driver who was to take the conservative members of the Virginia delegation to the Republican National Convention could not find a parking space. He would not stop. He drove round and round, three times.

On board was my old colleague from the pre-Reagan years, Morton Blackwell. He has trained college conservatives for over 30 years at the Leadership Institute. He was opposed to the new Republican rules on delegates. He was on the rules committee. He missed the meeting.

It was just one of those things, one of those crazy things.

Then John Boehner took a vote from the floor on the changes. What do you know? The "ayes" had it.

His teleprompter told him so.

Cell phones spotted it. The videos were posted on YouTube.

That kept Ron Paul voters out. That kept out all those who are not part of the Establishment.

Here is a video.

It was exactly what I had expected and hoped for. This is great. Ron Paul's followers will go home furious. They will burrow into local Republican organizations and take them over. It will take a decade. So what?

Ron Paul's supporters are young. The Establishment is old.

Paul's people will bide their time. When the Great Default hits, they will be ready.

D’Souza’s Anti-Obama Documentary: If Only It Were True!


D'Souza's Anti-Obama Documentary: If Only It Were True!
Written by Gary North on August 31, 2012

I went to see 2016: Obama's America. Dinesh D'Souza wrote, stars in, directed, narrates, and did the original research for it. If we look at this from the point of view of its success as a documentary, I think it is effective. It is making money in theaters. This is amazing for a documentary. It is a campaign year documentary, and it is a good one.

It is also dead wrong. That is because it misses the fundamental political fact of the last dozen yeas: the Obama Administration is the operational successor of the Bush Administration. In Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Guantanamo, on Wall Street, Barack Obama is George W. Bush in blackface. Obama is the star of a twenty-first century minstrel show.

This fact has been deliberately ignored for almost four years by both the neoconservative Right and the grin-and-bear-it Left. Neither side will admit what I regard as the fundamental fact of this documentary. It is a long whitewash of the policies of George W. Bush.


THE ON-BUDGET DEFICIT

If you understand this early, you can see it in what is by far the best section of the movie. It appears at the end. It is an interview with the ever-eloquent David Walker, who resigned in 2008 from his job as Comptroller General ­ senior accountant ­ of the United States.

This date is crucial: the last year of the Bush Administration.

I need to make three observations. First, the deficit is vastly worse than the movie portrays. The movie sticks with the non-issue: the on-budget debt of $15 trillion, which is chump change, while never mentioning the central problem: the $222 trillion present value of the unfunded liabilities of the off-budget deficit, meaning the deficits of politically sacrosanct Social Security and Medicare. This is the heart of the federal government's highly entertaining Punch and Judy show over the deficit, with Paul Ryan as Punch and Obama cross-dressing as Judy.

Second, Walker has spent years warning the public about the unsustainable increase of the on-budget federal debt. He was eloquent on camera. But, central to that presentation, is the fact that he blamed George W. Bush as much as he blamed Obama. He says on-camera that the turning point on the deficit began with Bush's presidency. He showed that we are headed for a fiscal disaster, and it may overtake us during the presidency of whoever is elected in 2016.

In terms of the on-budget deficit, Obama's Administration is an extension of Bush's. Miss this, and you miss the whitewash. This documentary is an implicit whitewash. It relies on an assumption, namely, that we are not dealing in 2012 with a single political administration, which began in January 2001. Sadly, we are.

The key to understanding this is Timothy Geithner, who was the president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank (privately owned) in 2008, and is the Secretary of the Treasury now. He does not appear in the documentary.

Third, neither Walker nor D'Souza mentions on-screen what should be the obvious Constitutional fact, namely, that it is the Congress that legally initiates all spending bills, and it is the House of Representatives that holds the hammer constitutionally. There was not one word in the movie about the Congress of the United States as being constitutionally in authority over the budget of the United States government. How in the world could anyone make a documentary that focuses at the very end on the central problem that the country faces, and then try to pin the tail on Obama as the donkey?

We are living in a bipartisan, congressionally mandated, slow-motion train wreck. The Congress of the United States could stop Obama today as easily as it could have stopped Bush. Congress is not interested in stopping the deficit; it is interested in avoiding all responsibility for the annual $1.2 trillion on budget disaster that is the federal budgetary process.

The fiscal killer of killers in Bush's Administration was never mentioned: the prescription drug law that Bush rammed through Congress in 2003. It added at least $8.7 trillion to the unfunded liability of Medicare. Yet it is never mentioned in the documentary. Instead, the documentary focuses on Obamacare, whose burden is mainly on the private sector and actually relieves some of the Medicare payments. In any case, that law was really Pelosicare. She was the ramrod. The documentary has one brief segment on her. It skips the point: bad as that law is, she was far more responsible for it than he was.


THE ECONOMY

A related thing that bothers me intensely is the fact that the documentary tries to pin the bad economy on Obama. The bad economy should be pinned on Alan Greenspan, with considerable help from his successor.

To suggest that the President of the United States has the power to make the economy worse to imply that he also has the power to make the economy terrible. He has limited power either way, unless he dags us into a war. Bush dragged us into two wars.

Ron Paul always was right for 36 years in not pointing to the President as the main economic problem, but rather the Federal Reserve System. So, any documentary that does not go after the Federal Reserve when it talks about economic problems, but blames the President instead, and also ignores Congress, is doing the general public an enormous disservice. It keeps the Federal Reserve in the background in the thinking of the viewers, when the Federal Reserve ought to be in the foreground, with the presidency in the background. This is basic economics. D'Souza does not know what he is talking about with respect to economics.


JEREMIAH WRIGHT

If a man goes to church every week, and he sits under the same pastor for 20 years, then we can assume that he agrees with the pastor. For me, the fundamental verifiable historical fact of Obama is that he put up with Jeremiah Wright for 20 years. If you subject yourself to somebody's preaching for a long period of time, you probably think the way he thinks. When he is a screaming preacher, as Wright is, you leave if you do not like what he is preaching. If you don't like it, then you don't think much about church, because you're listening to something you can't stand, week after week, for 20 years. I don't think people do that. So, if you are going to try to figure out what Obama is really all about, you probably ought to listen to a few dozen sermons by Jeremiah Wright. His sermons are racist to the core. It is liberation theology from start to finish. It is left-wing to the core.

The documentary did give some time to Wright, but it did not emphasize the connection as strongly as it should have. When you are dealing with a man who is an enigma, but he submits to the preaching in the authority of another man for 20 years, and that man's ministry is public, then you start with the preacher, not with some strange thesis about how Barack Obama's father, whom he met only once, somehow influenced his thinking. I do not understand D'Souza's methodology as an historian. Start with what you know, not with a thesis for which there is little documentary evidence.

By the way, he gives Obama a "pass" on the birth certificate issue. He says that Obama was born in Hawaii.


CONCLUSION

So, all things considered, I did not think much of the documentary. It is artistically pretty good, and it gets its neoconservative message across to the assembled choir. But on the issues that really matter, it is either wrong-headed or silent. On foreign policy, it is a defense of the neoconservatives' version of Middle Eastern foreign policy. He devotes a lot of time interviewing Daniel Pipes. Pipes is a major proponent of the neoconservatives' interventionist Middle Eastern policy. On the real federal deficit ­ unfunded liabilities ­ it is silent. On the on-budget deficit, it ignores Bush and Congress. The deficit is a bipartisan disaster. To suggest otherwise is not just misleading, it is deceptive. It raises hope where there is none. "If only we will not re-elect Obama!" On the deficits ­ on-budget and off-budget ­ it makes not a whit of difference. There will be a Great Default.

He fails to pursue the obvious ­ the influence Jeremiah Wright ­ while he promotes his own peculiar thesis of Obama as an anti-colonialist son of his absent father. I kept thinking, "Anti-colonialist? If only it were true. If only his foreign policy were not an extension of Bush's."

My suggestion: wait for the DVD.

Re: GOP Honors Ron Paul;

Yes because for a long time the rules have been that if 5 or more delegations supported a candidate their name too would be placed in nomination

Ron Paul had over 5 states which is why they stripped his delegates to reduce him to 4 states

GOP honors Ron Paul; Rand takes own path

David Sherfinski
The Washington Times
 

TAMPA, Fla. — Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a libertarian hero, finally got his moment at the Republican National Convention in a video tribute Wednesday as his son Rand styled himself as an outsider who works inside the system — not necessarily the standard-bearer the rabid devotees of his father seek.

After he hosted a rally for his own supporters on Sunday, Republicans repaid Ron Paul with testimonials from prominent members of the party, including South Carolina Sen. and conservative rainmaker Jim DeMint, in a video early in Wednesday evening's proceedings.

"I've always put politicians into two categories — they're either here to make a point, or they're here to make a difference," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in the video. "Ron Paul is the only one I know who made a difference by making a point."

Rand Paul noted in the video that lobbyists don't even bother to stop by his father's office, because they know "he can't be bought."

The younger Paul used the beginning of his speech to rail against the "travesty of justice" that he said is President Obama's health care overhaul.

"I've had time to count to 10, and you know what? I still think it's unconstitutional!" Mr. Paul shouted. "The whole damn thing is still unconstitutional."

Rand Paul, though, called out both parties in his speech, saying that Republicans must acknowledge that every dollar that goes to defense is not necessarily well spent, and Democrats must accept the fact that changes to federal entitlement programs are necessary.

At the same time, Mr. McConnell has become a strong supporter of the first-term senator. But as the chamber's minority leader, he embodies what Ron Paul's supporters would describe as the party establishment.

While the elder Paul broke through legislatively last month when the House of Representatives passed a bill to shed some sunlight on the proceedings of the Federal Reserve — a measure he has long championed — the future of Rand Paul has yet to be written, said Carl Tobias, a professor at the University of Richmond School of Law.

"It's going to be even harder to make your mark in the Senate, and we don't have as much of a track record for Rand Paul," he said. "The tea party might not necessarily be acquainted with Rand Paul or his father's brand of libertarianism. He could carry it on by the name, and it may not necessarily be relevant if he's successful in the Senate."

He has sponsored many pieces of legislation that would make his father proud — one that would remove the extension of the sunset date on a provision in the Patriot Act and another declaring that President Obama exceeded his War Powers authority when he authorized last year's military engagement in Libya. But in the historically sluggish Senate and intense gridlock on Capitol Hill, his bills have not gotten far.

He has also shown more of a willingness to work within the party confines more so than his father in certain instances. For example, he angered many supporters when he endorsed Mitt Romney earlier this year while the elder Paul was still technically a candidate in the race.

Blasé Harris, a doctor from Hawaii, said that he has come to think of the younger Mr. Paul as the "Benedict Arnold" of the liberty movement.

"Rand Paul is opposed to the National Defense Act and now he is supporting a presidential candidate who is favor of it, which is the equivalent of the Nazi 'night and fog' decree, where they can come take you away into the night and fog and you disappear as long as you want they too without a lawyer, and they will let you out when they want to and if they want to," Mr. Harris, 61, said.

Joe Palmer, 36, of Fort Worth, Tex., said he understood the politics of the move, but that the party is "kicking his dad to the curb" and that Paul supporters are not going to go lockstep behind Mr. Romney.

"This time my fear is that Obama is going to get up there in the debates and say, 'Thanks, Mitt man for the template on the health care plan and I admire the permanent assault rifle ban that you put into place in Massachusetts,' " the 36-year-old said. "That cuts our legs out from under us. How can I go door to door with something like that?"

Still, Chris Stearns, the 3rd Congressional District GOP chairman in Virginia, said he didn't really see the "Liberty Movement" as a group of people rallying behind a single person, or someone being the movement's "torch-bearer."

"It's always been the message," he said. "Rand has done a great job thus far and I will be supporting him into the future, assuming that he continues to keep his positions. I think he's going to be great for our movement going forward."

As a member of the Virginia party structure himself, though, Mr. Stearns said he understands the position Rand Paul finds himself in — working against the system at the same time he's working inside of it.

"It's a tricky environment to be in," he said. "I understand the circumstances that apply to people in leadership."

But Rand Paul actually ventured outside of Capitol Hill to make known his displeasure for the provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that some interpret to grant the federal government power to indefinitely detain terror suspects without trial. He wrote a letter to Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell in March urging him to sign a bill that would prevent members of the Virginia National Guard or Virginia Defense force from knowingly aiding the federal government in detaining Virginia citizens if they know it would violate the U.S. or state constitutions. The legislation, introduced by Delegate Robert G. Marshall, a Prince William Republican who can anger his own party almost as often as the opposition, was in direct response to the NDAA language that both Pauls oppose.

"The rights we give up now may never be restored," Rand Paul wrote to Mr. McDonnell. "The NDAA attempts to repeal fundamental rights guaranteed by our Constitution, and flies in the face of bedrock principles of liberty that pre-date even the Magna Carta."

Mr. Paul's foray into Old Dominion politics was not unfruitful: Mr. McDonnell ultimately signed an amended version of the bill into law.

Re: GOP Honors Ron Paul;


AGAIN .. why would someone who FAVORS A, B, C and D and OPPOSES E, F, G and H want to jettison that ideal and support contrary?

Many/Most of the Paul supporters are unhappy/disenchanted with the GOP Establishment's 'cheating' and their Statist Media lapdogs efforts at aiding and abetting. That *some* may have wanted to bring that to the attention of the kool-aid gulping crowd is not necessarily wrong.

There will NOT, unfortunately, be an Audit of the Fed. If -- in the miracle that it did occur -- watch for it to be another charade presented as theater.

Yes ... Paul has influenced the RHETORIC ... the question is ... will it influence ACTION.

Would you let this man kiss you on the lips?

by Dr. Eowyn

Daniel Halper reports for The Weekly Standard that Joe "they'll-put-you-back-in-chains" Biden was campaigning at the Canfield fair in Ohio today.

At 2:30, he stopped at the food booth of Antone's Italian Grill and tasted the $6 fried cheese -- balls of fried cheese, with tomato sauce and pasta.

An Obamabot fair-goer named Bev Kalmer from Poland, Ohio, gushed at Biden: "Welcome to Ohio! You gotta keep the chair."

By chair, Kalmer meant the POS in the White House -- a reference to Clint Eastwood's speech at the RNC last night, in which he pretended to carry on a conversation with Obama, symbolized by an empty chair.

At which, Biden -- who will be 70 this November -- kissed Kalmer on the lips.

Ewwww....

Biden likes to paw strangers. I no longer doubt the authenticity of this bizarre pic:

My question to the female readers of FOTM:

Would you let a strange man kiss you on the lips?

I would have slapped Biden.

Using a people search engine, I found a Beverly A. Kalmer, age 72, in Lowelville, Ohio. Lowelville is a small town 4.7 miles to the east of Poland, Ohio.

That explains it! Bev the cougar was thrilled that she got a kiss from a younger man.

Re: RNC power play makes third party more likely

Again,  other than this internet source called the Examiner,  I am hearing no other calls or references to Dr. Paul focusing on a third party candidacy, or anything remotely of forming a Third Party.   I just don't believe that Dr. Paul will do this,  especially with his son Rand being one of the torch bearers of the conservative movement within the Republican Party.

RNC power play makes third party more likely
RNC angers grass roots
August 25, 2012
By: Kevin Kervick

The national Republican Party has made a series of decisions this week that has lead to a renewed call for the establishment of a viable third party. Constitutional Conservatives, Conservative Populists, and Libertarians are frustrated by how they are being shut out of the political process at the national level.

In a story that has received very little attention in the national media that tends to take its marching order from the well-funded major parties, the Republican National Committee has spent much of this past week trying to unseat duly elected delegates to the national convention because they are supporters of Congressman Ron Paul. The final blow came yesterday when the RNC, unable to get the Maine delegation to comply with a series of so-called compromises, simply decided to nullify the entire Maine delegation and replace them with their own hand-picked delegates. In effect, the Republican National Committee has said that Maine does not exist. In response to this perceived abuse of power, Republican Governor Paul LePage from Maine quickly made a statement that he will follow through with his promise to boycott the National Convention because he believes his citizens are being disenfranchised.

Later in the day, the RNC passed a new rule, giving itself power to change any rule without a delegate vote. Grass roots Republicans have reacted by calling this a power-grab designed to stifle dissent. They believe the GOP is consolidating power in an attempt to override grass roots intentions that may run counter to their top-down agenda. Grass roots activists believe Governor Romney is either behind this top down assault or he is a perpetrator by omission. In either scenario, many are seeing this as a harbinger of what would come if the Governor were elected President of the United States. On the surface it looks like a management style that would be a threat to representative democracy.

These decisions came on the heels of another decision apparently made to ensure that supporters of Congressman Paul are not heard at the convention, at least not while the national television cameras are rolling. The nomination roll call vote has been moved up to Monday morning instead of Wednesday as had been originally scheduled. The RNC apparently is afraid that some supporters of Congressman Paul will use the roll call opportunity to express admiration for him instead of Governor Romney.

These decisions appear to be motivated by a national GOP that is desperate to create the illusion that there is uniform popular support for Presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Unfortunately for the GOP, there are serious divisions within the party writ large that are brewing beneath the surface. Those divisions have become more visible as the GOP has disenfranchised a growing segment of the Conservative Movement, the liberty voters who identify with Congressman Ron Paul. Instead of trying to find a way to assimilate their ideas and absorb their energies, the national GOP has instead closed ranks and consolidated power.

Congressman Paul's base of support is active, youthful, and vocal. Many believe the current two party system is a dinosaur. They don't trust either political party. Many had hoped to be able to battle the corruption within the Republican Party so that it could reform itself to become the party of the people. But these series of actions will have many of them believing there is no longer any hope for that. Thus, calls for the establishment of a third party will intensify. A independent state like Maine could become the birthplace of such a third party.

This contentious atmosphere could spell trouble for Governor Romney in the short-run because many Paul supporters will sit out the election or they will write in Congressman Paul's name on the ballot as a protest vote. In the medium term, it points to a Republican Party that remains in an identity crisis with no immediate resolution in sight. The party may win this battle but it is looking increasingly likely that they may lose the war for the hearts and minds of the people.

Re: Ron Paul washes his hands of Keynesian, fiscally irresponsible Republican party

Hey Michael,
 
I can find nothing on Dr. Paul's web site(s),  nor anything in "mainstream"  media, (as well as other internet sources that I usually depend upon) to confirm this report. 
 
I do hope that this report is incorrect.   I note that Rand Paul seems to be talking a completely different story by the way.....

Ron Paul washes his hands of Keynesian, fiscally irresponsible Republican party
August 31, 2012 | Kenneth Schortgen Jr

On Aug. 31, Congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul officially washed his hands of the GOP, just as the 2012 Republican convention comes to a close. Citing the party being no different than the Democrats in fiscal spending and irresponsibility, the Texas Congressman denounced fully that the GOP in its current form was no longer his.

The irony of today's announcement by Congressman Paul is that it was the Republican party who first rejected him, long before Paul's decision to wash his hands of the GOP. During the primary campaign season, multiple Republican committees in states across the country used rule changes and local law enforcement to ensure the Texas Congressman did not succeed in winning primaries. Couple this with the fraudulent attempt to keep Ron Paul from being nominated at the Convention by stealing his delegates in Maine, and in other states, and it is no surprise that the soon to retire Congressman has had enough of the corrupt political party he supported for more than 30 years.

Congressman Paul's assessment of the Republican party being no different than the Democrats when it comes to government spending and Keynesian economic doctrine is easily exemplified in Mitt Romney's vice-presidential candidate, Paul Ryan. As Chairman of the House budget committee, Ryan backed the raising of the debt ceiling in August of last year, and voted for TARP and the Obama stimulus packages which has increased the national debt by more than $2 trillion. His recent speech on cutting spending is actually just a proposal to cut future increases in spending, and not remove much from the over $1.4 trillion annual deficit.

GOP Honors Ron Paul;

A couple of observations.  First,  I hope that those of you who are Ron Paul supporters will take a look at the video from the Washington Times,  attached to this article:
 
 
The video is quite telling, and basically explains what the ruckus was about in Tampa surrounding the rules changes,  and why there was a need.   Unfortunately, we had a very small minority of delegates who came to Tampa, with the sole intention of stirring up a ruckus, and causing a scene, all over Ron Paul being placed on the ballot as the GOP Nominee.   These individuals who were interviewed for the short video say it loud and clear.  They had no intention of supporting Mitt Romney.  They have no intention of voting for Mitt Romney, and they intend on voting for Dr. Paul as a "Write In"  candidate.  
 
Despte these individuals'  possible good intentions,  and their undying support for Dr. Paul, the Republican National Convention was not the forum nor the arena for such an attempt! 
 
Where Dr. Paul errred, was by not reeling in these supporters and encouraging them to support Romney! 
 
We need to look at and focus upon what Dr. Paul did in fact bring to this year's election!   There will be an audit of the Federal Reserve, (once Mitt Romney is elected)  and no doubt,  Dr. Paul I believe has emphasized conservatives'  reluctance to even remotely engage in any more attempts at, "Nation Building". 
 
No doubt,  Dr. Paul's candidacy has influenced the Republican National Platform!
 
 
 
 
 
GOP honors Ron Paul; Rand takes own path

David Sherfinski
The Washington Times
 

TAMPA, Fla. — Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a libertarian hero, finally got his moment at the Republican National Convention in a video tribute Wednesday as his son Rand styled himself as an outsider who works inside the system — not necessarily the standard-bearer the rabid devotees of his father seek.

After he hosted a rally for his own supporters on Sunday, Republicans repaid Ron Paul with testimonials from prominent members of the party, including South Carolina Sen. and conservative rainmaker Jim DeMint, in a video early in Wednesday evening's proceedings.

"I've always put politicians into two categories — they're either here to make a point, or they're here to make a difference," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in the video. "Ron Paul is the only one I know who made a difference by making a point."

Rand Paul noted in the video that lobbyists don't even bother to stop by his father's office, because they know "he can't be bought."

The younger Paul used the beginning of his speech to rail against the "travesty of justice" that he said is President Obama's health care overhaul.

"I've had time to count to 10, and you know what? I still think it's unconstitutional!" Mr. Paul shouted. "The whole damn thing is still unconstitutional."

Rand Paul, though, called out both parties in his speech, saying that Republicans must acknowledge that every dollar that goes to defense is not necessarily well spent, and Democrats must accept the fact that changes to federal entitlement programs are necessary.

At the same time, Mr. McConnell has become a strong supporter of the first-term senator. But as the chamber's minority leader, he embodies what Ron Paul's supporters would describe as the party establishment.

While the elder Paul broke through legislatively last month when the House of Representatives passed a bill to shed some sunlight on the proceedings of the Federal Reserve — a measure he has long championed — the future of Rand Paul has yet to be written, said Carl Tobias, a professor at the University of Richmond School of Law.

"It's going to be even harder to make your mark in the Senate, and we don't have as much of a track record for Rand Paul," he said. "The tea party might not necessarily be acquainted with Rand Paul or his father's brand of libertarianism. He could carry it on by the name, and it may not necessarily be relevant if he's successful in the Senate."

He has sponsored many pieces of legislation that would make his father proud — one that would remove the extension of the sunset date on a provision in the Patriot Act and another declaring that President Obama exceeded his War Powers authority when he authorized last year's military engagement in Libya. But in the historically sluggish Senate and intense gridlock on Capitol Hill, his bills have not gotten far.

He has also shown more of a willingness to work within the party confines more so than his father in certain instances. For example, he angered many supporters when he endorsed Mitt Romney earlier this year while the elder Paul was still technically a candidate in the race.

Blasé Harris, a doctor from Hawaii, said that he has come to think of the younger Mr. Paul as the "Benedict Arnold" of the liberty movement.

"Rand Paul is opposed to the National Defense Act and now he is supporting a presidential candidate who is favor of it, which is the equivalent of the Nazi 'night and fog' decree, where they can come take you away into the night and fog and you disappear as long as you want they too without a lawyer, and they will let you out when they want to and if they want to," Mr. Harris, 61, said.

Joe Palmer, 36, of Fort Worth, Tex., said he understood the politics of the move, but that the party is "kicking his dad to the curb" and that Paul supporters are not going to go lockstep behind Mr. Romney.

"This time my fear is that Obama is going to get up there in the debates and say, 'Thanks, Mitt man for the template on the health care plan and I admire the permanent assault rifle ban that you put into place in Massachusetts,' " the 36-year-old said. "That cuts our legs out from under us. How can I go door to door with something like that?"

Still, Chris Stearns, the 3rd Congressional District GOP chairman in Virginia, said he didn't really see the "Liberty Movement" as a group of people rallying behind a single person, or someone being the movement's "torch-bearer."

"It's always been the message," he said. "Rand has done a great job thus far and I will be supporting him into the future, assuming that he continues to keep his positions. I think he's going to be great for our movement going forward."

As a member of the Virginia party structure himself, though, Mr. Stearns said he understands the position Rand Paul finds himself in — working against the system at the same time he's working inside of it.

"It's a tricky environment to be in," he said. "I understand the circumstances that apply to people in leadership."

But Rand Paul actually ventured outside of Capitol Hill to make known his displeasure for the provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that some interpret to grant the federal government power to indefinitely detain terror suspects without trial. He wrote a letter to Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell in March urging him to sign a bill that would prevent members of the Virginia National Guard or Virginia Defense force from knowingly aiding the federal government in detaining Virginia citizens if they know it would violate the U.S. or state constitutions. The legislation, introduced by Delegate Robert G. Marshall, a Prince William Republican who can anger his own party almost as often as the opposition, was in direct response to the NDAA language that both Pauls oppose.

"The rights we give up now may never be restored," Rand Paul wrote to Mr. McDonnell. "The NDAA attempts to repeal fundamental rights guaranteed by our Constitution, and flies in the face of bedrock principles of liberty that pre-date even the Magna Carta."

Mr. Paul's foray into Old Dominion politics was not unfruitful: Mr. McDonnell ultimately signed an amended version of the bill into law.
