Ron Paul actually attacked Newt for not serving in the military but ignored Mitt Romney’s draft dodging. The Paul brand is tainted like chinese dog food as far as I’m concerned.

Just like the others, obviously Paul wants to be the last anti-Romney candidate standing.

Paul is anti-establishment. LOL, that's funny. Mr. Career Politician (longer than the rest of them) is somehow anti-establishment. Here is some inside baseball, Paul is as establishment as the rest playing a specific role- a political honeytrap. He is the type both parties always have to keep in their stable to keep the 'anti-establishment' voters believing they have someone on their side. They give lip service to anti-establishment rhetoric but they never actually pose a threat to the establishment. Take the Fed for example. Paul has given lip service for decades about ending it but has never done anything. At that, he has the role now in his chairmanship position to actually do something and he has done jack. He even voted against his own audit bill and sabotaged future bills. Yet, he still talks about ending it. To quote Shakespeare in Hamlet- "Words, Words, Words..."

This is becoming obvious and I think it’s interesting that neither Paul nor Romney will talk about it (at least not that I’m aware of).
Aren’t they being a bit disingenuous?

Yesterday, there was an article about Rand Paul being on Romney’s short list for VP. It explains everything.

Why would you suggest it is either coincidence or something questionable, rather than completely rational. Santorum has openly shown disrespect for the Tenth Amendment; shown himself in favor of extending Federal interference into local functions. Romney, for all his past failings, has given a States Rights' explanation--he was accommodating his fellow citizens of Massachusetts.
Ron Paul has been one of the most stalwart defenders of the Jefferson/Madison States' Rights position in Congress, over the past generation.
Do not look for something ominous or covert, where only consistent principle is involved.

Ron Paul and the Paulbots hate Reagan Conservatism,Paul's stands are closer to Reagan's than are those of any of the other candidates. Your statement is ridiculous.
Remember, Reagan was forced to go along with some of the Federal domestic programs that he had attacked before his election, in order to get cooperation on his defense budget--the one that broke the back of Soviet Communism. But philosophically, Reagan was to the right of Gingrich & Santorum, who now talk a more Conservative, smaller Government role, than they actually practiced in the past.
And remember that when Reagan realized that his attempt to stabalize Lebanon was proving a counter-productive policy, putting American lives at unjustifiable risk, he reversed the policy, and withdrew. This is basically what Dr. Paul has been advocating as to our forces in other parts of the region, where we have been drawing hostile fire, with no clear gain for American interests.

Then explain why their wives dine together and they both chat on the phone daily
People aren't allowed to be friends? I seem to recall Justices Ginsburg and Scalia being friends even though they are usually polar opposites. I don't see that as relevant. why RuPaul is spending money on attack ads against Rick and Newt in states he isnt even campaigning in
I didn't know RuPaul the transvestite was running for President. But if you are just coming up with a juvenile name to call someone, then I'm not aware of any state that Paul isn't campaigning in. Perhaps he didn't spend so much money in Florida because it cost too much and the money is better used elsewhere. But he has several campaign stops in Michigan and he is running the ads here. As to the reason why, I think I gave a pretty decent one. Santorum voters are easier to get and more likely to come over than Romney voters.
Rand said that it would be a honor to be Milts VP?
Isn't this pretty much what anyone would say? As you would say, "Come on."
Paul and Romney have one big thing in common. They both hate conservatives. Paul is an absolute fraud and he has just been exposed as such.
Hate is a strong word. But if conservatives have given us the wasteful spending of the first six years of Bush, the big-government-can-spy-on-whomever-it-wants Patriot Act, and has helped Obama pass NDAA and other such Big Brother stuff, and has turned a blind eye while Obama kills whomever he wants with Predator drones, without so much as a hearing, who support the Fed's enabling of trillions of dollars of debt on the backs of future generations in the name of "stimulus," then sure, I guess then conservatives aren't Paul's cup of tea. If conservatives are small government supporters who want to shrink the debt, the federal budget, and to get its dead weight off the shoulders of the American people, then I guess that means Paul is the only actual conservative in the race.
As to your last point about fraud, I'd ask you to elaborate because you don't make it clear as to what you mean by "just been exposed," but somehow I'd imagine that the response would just be more of the same.

While it is true that Paul has more to spend than Gingrich or Santorum, I guess by "unlimited" I was comparing the amount he has to spend to the amount someone like, Obama, or Romney, has rolling in from Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, or Bank of America.

It is interesting to see which company's employees give to which candidate. Romney has all the big Wall Street banks. Santorum has health insurance companies. Gingrich has an ethanol company (subsidies?), and Paul has the members of the U.S. military.
As a conservative who supports property rights, I would assume that you believe that Peter Thiel has the right to use his money however he wants to use it. He has chosen his candidate the same as you or I have, and he has chosen to support that candidate. I don't really see anything wrong with that.

Feel free to pimp this Israel hating, Stormfront supported, Conservative hating, Truther, Reagan hating, pro Iranian POS Paul all you like. He is a fraud. For example, he goes around complaining about Ricks earmarks, when he is the king of earmarks. He loads popular bills with them and then votes against them because he knows they will pass. He then can say he didn’t vote for them. Total sham.
The only reason this loser RuPaul is in this GOP Primary contest is because the Libertarians threw him out after his campaign stole money from the party in ‘88. They didn’t want him anymore so the only way to peddle is nonsense was to leach off the GOP party apparatus. He is not a Conservative and he has no business masquerading as one or even being in the GOP.
You are either a supporter of Ron Paul or by default a Romney supporter. Ron is clearly in bed with Romney. They are both despicable people and are bad for America. I have no intention if giving them one ounce of my time or interest. In summary, Ron Paul is a loser.

My theory is that Paul doesn’t attack Romney because he sees it as a waste of time. The same could be said about me having a conversation with you. Good day sir. I said good day!
