I voted for Gingrich even though he didn't campaign in my state, but the only chance left NOW to stop Romney is Paul. That's strategy not preference.
 
 
 
Climbing down in the gutter never works. You're not talking strategy - you're talking about compromising your true conservative vlaues in some sort of Reverse Operation Chaos. Which as we know did not - and does not work.

And as I plainly stated - Paul is in the campaign as a spoiler for Romney. Paul is a useful idiot to prop up the Romney campaign. Vote for Paul? Sure - same as voting for Mitt. And if any Tea Party aligns with RoPaul - it only weakens the conservative grass roots movement.
 
FURP.

Before I engage you on this issue I’d like to know if I will be banned for doing so. I gather this truce extends to Romney, I’d like to know if it extends to Paul too. I have tried to play by the rules here and will continue to do so. There are lots of fun threads other then the political ones and I don’t want to lost my ability to comment on the non political ones.

Paul is in the campaign as a spoiler for Romney

This statement is illogical. Ron Paul has run for election to the office of the president at least three times. He has been in public service since the '80s. He has been consistent in his beliefs and in his voting record. He is Pro-Life. He, practically alone, has changed the focus of the nation on the importance of the Fed. He served in the military and wants to bring the troops home. He, like George Washington, believes in NO foreign entanglements. He has a consistent voting record supporting less spending and fewer taxes.

The primary season is NOT over. If Ron Paul could take Texas and California, would he have a chance to block Romney? If so, why not take that route? Let's not give up before I get up to sing! (Yes, I am the fat lady, and yes, I do sing!)

Know that I am a Palin supporter. But my dad, the last year of his life, had me put a Ron Paul for President sign on our lawn. Dad set up the first aid station on Iwo Jima. He was a patriot, a physician and the smartest man I've ever known.

So, would you all settle down, and answer my original question: if Freepers can consider voting for Romney, how can they not consider voting for Ron Paul?
