In addition, there must be a more intense focus at the grass roots level. This goes beyond simply working for a candidate or candidates. We focus sooooo much on the top (president)and others, while committee chairmanship goes begging.

If you desire to root out the RINOs from GOPee leadership, it can not be done with out control of committee chairs - establishing honest, conservative, constitutionalists elected to committee chairmanships in every district in the country should also be a top priority.

Their votes can help kick the GOPee out of leadership of the GOP party(only such elected officials get to vote on leadership).

Truly he is not a stable minded man

What has he said that makes you believe he's unstable?

. . . now certainly beyond the will to be President as he has stated. He simply wants to go out with his voice heard...and said as much to that affect.

Here is the interview from ABC. If one ignores the lead in, and reads just what Dr. Paul said, one must admit that he seems rather hopeful, if not convinced.

"An amazing admission tonight from Ron Paul.

In an exclusive interview, I asked him: “When you lay your head on your pillow at night, do you see yourself in the Oval Office?”

“Not really,” he said.

He went on to say that he’s not blind to the odds, but they are “not as slim as they were 25 years ago.”

There are many ways to interpret this interview. Of course the LSM is bound to see it the way that best presents their agenda.

Further he'd have no chance against Obama at all....Romney's going to have his hands full as well.

According to polls I've seen, Paul does at least four or five points better than Romney against BO, and his appeal is to a much wider electorate.

More from the ABC interview: "I also asked if he though (sic) he was too old to be president. He’d be 81 at the end of his first term.

He said, “Freedom is a youthful idea,” his health is good, and he challenges any of his rivals to a physical fitness test.

He also jokingly accused me of ageism.

“Be careful,” he said. “There are laws against that.”

One other thing, wouldn't you trust Paul to nominate constitutionalists to the Supreme Court as opposed to Romney? I still don't understand why a Freeper would even contemplate a vote for Romney and not consider voting for Paul in the primary if he has a primary vote. I just don't get it. Why are we giving in to Romney before the final primary?

It’s like a fish restaurant that only sells processed tuna sandwiches, that’s how far off the path they have come. If I go to a fish restaurant and want to order fish but it turns out they’re pissing on my head and callin’ it rain, I ain’t playing that game any more.

Whatever, you can order any damned thing you want but if it ain't on the menu, you get NOTHING.

So by writing-in your fantasy candidate, you get nothing.

You are not helping, you are not participating, you are just being a whiny brat bent on putting your own way above the more pragmatic choice.

That's fine, be that whiny brat. But realize that you help only Obama by doing so.

Yeah, you will have sent a message.. straight to the trash can.

Bully for you.

Thank you, Jim. You are speaking wise words.

If we bite and devour each other, we’ll end up looking like Barack Obama’s dog sandwich.

You just gave God a chance to give you a wonderful gift. That's not careless. :-)

Remember Abraham and Sarah. They were even older. lol

Romney is not going to win anyway. The GOP always loses when they push a liberal.

And the media has been holding fire on Romney until he sews up the nomination. Soon as he does, be prepared for the excrement dump from the media.

Well - she got a bit tired with conception!

Couldn’t resist, though we are both shitting bricks here. I mean, we’ll both be nigh on 80 before she sods off and gets her own life/

JimRob said to “vote straight conservative for every slot on our ballots.” Explain exactly how are you voting straight conservative when you pull the lever for someone as librul as Romney? You ain’t. You’re voting republican. Bully for you, stuck on stupid and staying part of the problem.

There will likely be an election in 2016.

What’s doubtful is whether there will be more than one name on the ballot.

Romeny might be a “serious American”....but it’s what he’s “serious” about that bothers me...
