"At least Gingrich stood up and said he wouldn't vote for the nut case either. Better performance on this than Romney or Santorum.
Paul currently only serves as a Romney stalking horse...
All because Paul is against the UN, WTO, NAFTA, Global Warming, IMF, etc....is really not a good a reason to vote for Obama.
Some people think that Ron Paul gives them the right to go liberal

Philip Klein. Have to remember that name. And that there are circumstances under which he could actively support Obama.
Philip Klein, Philip Klein.
Got it.
Ron Paul is very good at energizing the youthful base and busing in volunteers for straw polls and the like. But he has never done more than a few percent in actual elections outside his district (where he buys the voters with massive pork). So his numbers are always suspicious.
If it ever did come to Obama vs Paul, then I guess I’d write in Sarah Palin or whoever had the best chance as election day came around. (But NOT Donald Trump.)
I wasted my vote when I was 18 when I did a “protest” vote and voted communist party.
Never again.
Even Ron Paul is better than Obama.. Obama is that bad..
To NOT vote for him in that case is politically suicidal..
Only an adolescent mind(mentality) could do what you propose..
Congress would limit most things Paul would do anyway..
Maybe not adolescent but the mind of a little girl..
You know...... a PollyAnna..
Thank goodness we won’t be faced with such a horrible choice.
Given the chance, I’d back over Obama and Ron Paul.
No matter how he does, Paul will be done after Iowa.
RP is nuts but zero is pure evil so it’s not even close. An eccentric nut job is way better than evil. obama is the type of guy, if given a chance, that could start imprisoning his enemies (conservatives, libertarians, evangelicals, vets) or worse. Remember FDR imprisoned Japanese-Americans and Wilson took political prisoners, so it CAN happen here. zero could use the pretext of a war or economic crisis to accomplish these ends.
There is absolutely no way, under any circumstances, that I would vote for Ron Paul.
But I am not worried about it because Paul will NEVER get the nomination.

No one but Newt can defeat Mitt. TBBT has decreed it.
By the way, who caused Newt to get kicked off the ballot in VA - a fraudulent campaign worker or Admiral Yamamoto himself?
Useless article.
Ron Paul will NEVER be the candidate for President.
If he is, then America has already ended and we have gone over the cliff.................
"Paul will not be nominated.
Playing what if...I would vote for Paul in a heartbeat over the Zero...Paul can be controlled by Congress and the will of the people, Zero will not be controlled, the Constitution is meaningless to him, and so is the will of the people.
Reasoning: I would hope that his views on foreign policy might temper a little bit once he sat in the big chair for awhile and was made aware of the bigger picture viz. where we stand as a nation on the global stage. Granted, it's a hope, but we are talking theoretically here because Paul won't win the nomination anyway.
And domestically, I think he's distinguished himself as one of the only candidates on the stump who is willing to bring up the big issues we've been championing as conservatives for a long time, like drastically scaling back the size and scope of the federal government. Granted, whether one man -- even a President -- can do much to combat the entrenched DC establishment is questionable, but again, we're dreaming here.
I don't see how anyone who claims to be a conservative could support or pull the lever for Obama for any reason, because in all that he does, he is the complete antithesis of conservatism. I guess the only reason to pull the lever for him would be to call an airstrike on our own position and hasten the demise of this nation so we could get about building one in our own image, but that's a total doomsday scenario; the fruits of which we'd never see in our grandchildren's grandchildren's times, let alone ours. And plus, we can't even be sure the outcome would be in our favor.
So I don't really think it's a choice. A fun exercise, though. Thanks for the post.
I would never ever vote for Obama the Destroyer. If he gets another term, we will either see civil war, the end of the Republic or both. He despises middle America and does not attempt to hide it. I truly believe he wants to put some of us real Americans in prison camps. He makes me think about believing some of those hinky conspiracy theories.
There, now I have vented.
How could anyone not vote for whatever Republican is up against Barry? Another four years for Barry and this country will be a third world economic basket case. We could have 20 aircraft carrier groups and no money to put any fuel in them. We would be like the Soviet Union in 1988...armed to the teeth and bankrupt
One thing Obama will NEVER be is a lesser evil. Paul would only be a national security/foreign policy disaster-Obama bests him in EVERY category, including the economy, racism, class warfare, personal freedom and transparent corruption.
