They are in full court press mode, and yes they are nervous. Paul is getting traction, and Paul is their worst night mare. So they want to get this deal done and quickly. Paul has the legs to go all the way and that scares team Mitt.
The Establishment never counted on Ron Paul running third party INSIDE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, which he is.
If they could, the Establishment would use Paul against us and maybe they ARE. But, why can’t the risk run both ways?
Can’t we hold Paul over THEIR head, if they don’t cut Romney loose and get with the conservative race going on out there? Let these three conservatives be free to run their race and let the Establishment BACK OFF, instead of us, Every. Single. Time!
We have three conservatives. Let them run their race
In December, when Newt said he would name Bolton as his Secretary of State this place got as excited as kid in a candy shop with found $100 bill. Newt is so great. Newt is so wise. Blah blah blah. Today, the actual person tjat made Newt so great in December comes out and endorses Romney and now he is a scum.
I'm not sure who I support yet, but you can bet that no matter what I'll be pulling the lever for anyone other than Obama and that includes if it is Romney, dare I speak such sacrilidge here.. The only exception to that is if Paul is the nominee.
Don't get me wrong, Paul has some great ideas and direction for this nation. But other than those 3 or 4 things, the rest of his ideas are just bat shit crazy at best, and dangerous at worst.
I won't support a candidate that would have the US stick it's head in the sand and tink ery ting gonna be aright. We have a bazillion posts here about how illegal immigration should curbed, but with Paul - no fences (they might keep us in). Think he will do much to stop that problem?
With Paul the budget will get cut no doubt, great, then what? Maybe we piss down our leg and run when our allies need us - viva la France, wait, America...
I will vote for Romney, or Santorum, or Gingrich, or Perry, but not Paul. I'd rather the destruction of this great nation happen under the democrat banner than a fake republican one.
I am getting tired of the double standard our side puts on our candidates when the stakes are high. Scrutinize the candindates - fine by me. But seing posts where people here orgasm when Gingrich mentions Bolton as SOS and then start having coniption fits while stumbling all over each other to be the first to say what a shithead Bolton is when he endorses Romney makes me wonder just how deep the thinking some people have here...
We should be focused on consolidating power in the House and Senate (not to mention state and local offices). King Obama, King Romney, King Perry, etc., that all BS. A conservative house and a conservative senate trump. That goes from spending to court nominees.
But hey, as long "conservatives" spend their time, money and resources fighting for the kings chair that's okay right - because it's all about the glory - not the results for the nation...
