Assange Says Rand Paul Is The Only Hope For America [View all]

It's always good to know where people really stand-what their core beliefs are. Well, for those who may not have been sure about Julian Assange, he gave us a peak during a forum hosted by Campus Reform and OurSay.org. :

am a big admirer of Ron Paul and Rand Paul for their very principled positions in the U.S. Congress on a number of issues, * * * * They have been the strongest supporters of the fight against the U.S. attack on WikiLeaks and on me in the U.S. Congress. Similarly, they have been the strongest opponents of drone warfare and extrajudicial executions.

Assange concluded by saying

The only hope as far as electoral politics presently, is the Libertarian section of the Republican party.
