A bit surprised to read this quote from Dr. Paul

[realtonygoodwin]

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0312/73573.html

“The Republican candidates have some disagreements – I certainly have some disagreements with the others! – but we all agree that it’s a good idea to get rid of our current president and put in a Republican,” Paul said.

“It’s an important day to start the process to make sure that we no longer have Obama [as] president next year.”

This is pretty much the first time I have heard him say something like this. Depending on how you view things, this is either a disappointing thing or an encouraging thing to hear from him.

Interesting article overall, too. Worth a read, IMO.

Starting to sound more like a typical con, which is not good in my opinion. Number one goal should be to win the nomination. If we can't do that, we screw the GOP in November, make them pay for what they've done to us, and take it over in 2016.

Ron Paul is now a "team player"?!

What is this day coming to...

 

[RPit]

If Ron endorses Romney, he will put a stain on his impeccable record. Don't do it Dr. Paul you are a hero that even if doesn't win needs to stay pure!

 

[Ronulus]

Ron Paul is now a "team player"?!

Trying to appeal to a broader base perhaps. He is not a 'team player' though.

 

[Okie RP fan]

Don't read too much into it, everyone.

Could be for a variety of reasons, such as grabbing quick votes.

OR perhaps Paul truly believes that a Republican will slow down the damage just enough to ensure the Liberty Movement gets a chance to retake this country.

 

[j3nn]

I really hope that's a misquote. If it's not, I am deeply disappointed.

 

[The Gold Standard]

If he endorses Romney I won't write him in. I'll vote for Johnson or not at all.

I agree with this. I see it as him as a wolf putting on sheep clothing to not scare the sheep.

Give him a break. Its one of the best things he's said, but its contrary to most of the other things he's said. He probably spoke without thinking.

 

[Philosophy_of_Politics]

As said, don't read too much into this one. None of the candidates hold a candle to Paul, however, they truly aren't as bad as Obama. You have to remember, that none of the other Republican candidates have actually done things like assassinating US Citizens.

 

[The Goat]

I think a brick would be better than Obama, I also think a brick would be better than the other republicans. So I could care less who won if paul isn't their.

Agreed. People are just to ready to believe MSM crud and get panicky.

One of the best things he's said and contrary to most things he's said? That's sounds contradictory, please explain.

That's exactly what this is.

He's got be careful though, this is the type of stuff that will disenfranchise the base to a point it can't go to...

Ron won't endorse Romney unless he agrees to adopt some of Ron's policies (Audit the Fed maybe?).

 

[klamath]

Looks like he is setting the stage for his son. Good for him. Doesn't mean I will vote for whoever he endorses just like the last time I didn't.

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

He is right of course. There are some that dangerously dismiss the harsh reality that Obama is far worse than Romney, but at their own peril.

I might actually agree with that if the Republican had Ron Paul as VP holding his feet to the fire.

I agree. Paul really needs to have a sit down broadcast to help us plan and tell us what he would like to see happen when this election crap is done. We will need a direction on where to go, and we need to hear how much time Dr. Paul thinks this country has left.

And, who knows, people? Perhaps a high profile spot awaits one of the Pauls in the Romney administration and Romney really tries to adopt some of our policies.

I don't like Romney, and I don't think we should take it easy on him, but, the machine is in place. We have to take what we can when we can.

All speculation.
