"No. Never." Ron Paul assures media he is not colluding with Romney campaign
Red Dirt Report ^ | February 26, 2012 | Andrew W. Griffin

OKLAHOMA CITY – It was short, emphatic and to the point.

“No. Never.”

That was the straightforward answer Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul gave Red Dirt Report Saturday afternoon, following his well-attended Oklahoma City campaign stop, when he was asked by this reporter if he was somehow working behind the scenes with the Mitt Romney campaign.

The few members of the Oklahoma media that bothered to cover the Ron Paul press conference on the first floor of the State Capitol did not ask the one question many national media people are talking about – collusion between Paul and Romney to take out Romney's primary challenger. We originally noted his response to this question in our Saturday report "Ron Paul excites OKC crowd with message of liberty, freedom."

Well, I’m not sure that Ron Paul would call it colluding, but we read yesterday that Ron Paul’s son, Rand Paul is being considered as a possible Romney running mate.

How about someone ask him if he's colluding with global hedge fund managers and GOProud supporters?

It's easier to lie when you're short, emphatic and to the point.

There. Fixed it. Maybe RuPaul can explain why he is spending money on attack ads against Rick and Newt, but not Milt, in states he is not running in. RuPaul is a disgrace and a piece of Truther filth.

He is. The only question is whether or not it was an overt agreement or not.

Paul read the Lamestream media and thought Romney was the shoo-in. Consequently Paul wouldn’t criticize Romney, in hopes of beiing used if Romney won.

My neighbor had a Paul bumper sticker on her car for years. It disappeared a while ago, and I have yet to see a shiny new one reappear this campaign season. I suspect that while Paul’s fringe may be larger, it’s shifting more toward the Occupy element.

Google “Peter Thiel” and “Ann Coulter” together and you’ll find some interesting information on the homosexual infiltration of the GOP establishment as well as the current marriage of convenience between Ron Paul and Mitt Romney.

All this means is that Rand Paul is acting as the negotiator and Ron isn't personally communicating with Romney.

So he attacks Santorum for asking the question. Perhaps someone should ax uncle nutball if there is anything he doesn’t like about Mitt?
