MoreThe Takeaway Washington correspondent Todd Zwillich is reporting to you from the Republican National Convention (August 27-30) and Democratic National Convention (September 4-6).
MoreThe purpose of the Republican National Convention is to provide an opportunity for Republicans to unite behind their candidate, Mitt Romney. But behind the scenes, some are saying the party is more splintered than ever.
From the moderate establishment to the religious right to the Tea Party, each faction is demanding its planks in the platform. Some Republicans have gone so far as to decide not to endorse Governor Romney — including one of his challengers, Ron Paul.
So some were surprised when his son Rand appeared on "Hannity" endorsing Romney. Now, Senator Rand Paul is set to speak at the Republican National Convention, an opportunity his father declined.

A business is a device used to make money above everything else. Government is a device to keep people from eating other people. I don't understand why Republicans and quasi-Libertarians keep getting these two devices confused. Businesses will never protect people and government isn't here to make a profit. Jefferson and friends weren't thinking of profit margins when they drafted all those cool documents.
Ron Paul is wonderfully pro-life.
