Rand's endorsement should make us stronger

There have been constant uproar across the web  about Rand's endorsement of Mitt Romney.  This was a slap in the face to the revolution, but I don't get why people are blaming Ron for his son's decision.  He would be a hypocrite if he preaches personal liberty/choices, but he tells his son "NOOO".

Now I think people forget what we're fighting for.  There is a lot of hype about maybe this is the best alternative Ron could think of if he really won't have enough to win.  Sometimes you have to sacrifice to at least get the Fed audited, etc.  To stop some of the wars overseas.  If we take control of the GOP, but the GOP is a minority and there is a democratic president no change will be passed.  I don't know whether any of these are true, but Rand committing political suicide seems odd to me.

If Paul truly doesn't have the delegates to win that doesn't end all of our work.  He didn't win in 2008 and the revolution has grown.  We have to continue to grow.  Ron is the spokesperson for us, but he teaches a thought process.  There will be another like him.

That being said we need to stop complaining and start working.  Throughout this process there have been many blows to us left and right.  There have been physical confrontations with broken fingers and bruised hips.  How can so many people watch these delegates go through this darkness and pain and jump ship because of what 1 person says.  This movement wasn't completely about Ron, but it is so much more.  It is about our future and our children's future.  We can't give up now we have come too far.  Did Ron give up 20 years ago when people laughed at him for his ideas?  Did he ever give up on the people and doing what he thought was right?  We need to unite and grow and expand to slowly take over the party.  I know the party system sucks, but it is what exist today.  We are the people and have been pushed down for decades.  We do NOT have the power yet, nor do we have the power to change the US yet.  It will take years to complete the transition, and if we give up it is a disgrace and a lost cause.  For myself and the people I know we're not going to give up.  I'm considering running for office because money won't buy me.  I have children to worry about, and I will fight for them!

So that being said, we were all slapped in the face by the endorsement, but that doesn't give us an excuse to give up.  If that is all it takes for you to give up you need to analyze how much freedom is worth to you.  During the revolutionary war our forefathers knew the value of freedom and died for it.  During the early 80s when Evangelical Christians wanted a say in how politics, and they fought for years but they won.

With that I will not vote for Mitt and will write in Paul, but people we need to unite instead of giving up.
