Rand Paul: Fraud, Failure, Liar

• http://original.antiwar.com, by Justin Raimondo

As the smoke wafted up into the already smoggy Los Angeles air, a group of young libertarians watched as Jayel Aheram burned his "Stand With Rand" t-shirts. He had two of them, a token of his former esteem for the "libertarian-ish" presidential candidate and Senator from Kentucky, whose father had inspired young Jayel to identify as a libertarian and become active in the movement. A former Marine and Iraq war veteran, the now 31-year-old Aheram had phone-banked for Rand, and enthusiastically retweeted the Senator's pronouncements on Twitter. He had even forked out $35 for those T-shirts – and now they were going up in flames as he and a group of young libertarians sat on the roof of Jayel's Los Angeles apartment, drinking beer and glumly contemplating what had brought them – all former supporters of Rand Paul's presidential campaign – to this point.
