Conservative Coalition

Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words.

Here are the main things that appealed to me when I first started learning about Ron Paul.

1) He has been saying the same thing for as long as he has been in politics.
2) He refuses all money from lobbyists and special interest groups.
3) He does not avoid questions and change his views when talking to different crowds.
4) He addresses the falling dollar, the fiat monetary policy, social security and government spending.
5) He not only wants to reduce taxes but he wants to eliminate the IRS and he has voted this way for 30 years.
6) He wants the free market to dictate medicine practices, prices, technology, etc.

Romney on the same issues
1) Has done a complete 180 on quite a few major issues.
2) Romney accepts more special interest and lobbyist money than any other GOP candidate.
3) He rarely ever answers a question without asking a question or skewing it so many different ways a concrete answer is never made.
4) Romney doesn't addess any of these. He mentions fixing social security but only by giving his resume. He doesn't actually address anything.
5) He says he wants to reduce taxes but wont promise. He says he wants less taxes but as governor he raised them.
6) Romney wants to force medical insurance on every individual without addressing the fast raising costs in the medical industry.

Romney is right there with Hillary Clinton in my views. I would vote for any other candidate in any other party before I would vote for Romney with the only exception being Clinton.

I do appreciate you coming on here and trying to strike up conversation but I will never understand how anyone can look at Romney's voting record while listening to him in debates and still want to support the guy. Just the other day I joked that if Romney or Clinton get elected that I would start up a lobbyist store and franchise them because the only way anyone would get ahead in business or politics would be with a lobbyist.
 
Governor Romney has executive experience and real world business smarts. He is not an ideal partner by any means, but he is the best available.

The simple fact is that either McCain or Romney will get the nomination. We have to choose sides and Romney is the least objectionable. We can throw the whole race to the democrats if we decide to, but i'm not sure what that would prove. We threw the midterms to the Dems and the GOP lost both houses of congress. They deserved it, but I think this olive branch by team Romney is an indication that the GOP establishment now is giving us grudging respect and a seat at the table if we pull together.

We have to stop John McCain and his Media backers. He will ruin this country.

I don't vote for lesser evils period.
 
Then how about a cease fire until McCain and Huck are out of it?

I know Doc P would cream Mitt in a fair fight, but there's nothing fair about presidential politics.

Mitt and Doc both have the same problem right now: Bad press. Mitt's bad press is more deserved, but that doesn't matter.

I am going to follow Doc's lead. I'm a soldier in this revolution, not a general.
 
I tend to vote candidates that support the Constitution so I don't think I can vote for Governor Romney. My main criteria to decide how a candidate will likely behave is their stance on the 2nd amendment, if they don't believe I should be able to walk into any gun store and purchase anything my heart desires in the way of individual firearms without jumping through a bunch of ineffective hoops that individual will not get my vote any more. For the last 40 years the republicans have been no better than the dems on gun control and I am tired of it. They have had a veto proof majority for a least six years and not one gun law has been repealed. The CDC and a couple other credible sources have found no link between gun control laws and a reduction in crime. The city of Washington D.C. has banned a complete class of firearm and restricted the right to have an operable firearm in the home. There has been one year since 1976 with a lower murder rate than 1975 the last year one could legally purchase a handgun in DC. The machine gun registry has been closed since 1986, the last time a legally owned and registed machine gun was used in a crime was in the seventies with only one other instance back in the thirties. There have only been two or three instances of illegal machine guns used in crimes one of which being the Hollywood bank robbery. When Mitt flips to the logical position on gun control and changes his foriegn policy to non inteventionism I could see voting for him. Till then I will vote Ron Paul or Libertarian if RP is not running.

PS I have considered Governor Romney quite seriously and the two issues mentioned are why I just can't vote for him.
 
I am not defending Romney. I am saying that we are underestimating the threat of McCain. Hundredyears McCain is getting tons of free postive press and the sheeple are flocking. Look at Today's New York Times! It's spinning that Romney is isolated and McCain is coalition building. It ignores Paul (as usual).

ALL the networks get their stories from the NYT. Drudge has a link to the story. If we don't stop McAmnesty in Folrida we won't be able to stop him at all. He will go down in flames against Hillary in the general and we can continue this conversation in four years.
 
I loved the McCain South Carolina video you guys made. That was hilarious! :)

But Ron Paul looked pretty good in the debate.

And I would have to agree with what Billyjoeallen said.

Seriously though, McCain is starting to scare me. If he's the nomination we might as well give the presidency to the democrats, and I don't think we want that at all.

I don't think, and hope that there are no Romney supporters attacking you guys, or Ron Paul at the moment. We should both target taking McCain and making sure he's out of the race. Because I honestly would rather have Ron Paul or Romney in it than Huckabee (who we all know is dead).

I don't think Huck is dead yet. Dying, yes, but still pulling a lot of support that should be going to RP. It's an endurance sport and if we can outlast Huck, then we get a lot of his people by default. RP will be the last solidly pro-life
mainstream protestant left in the race.

But Gov Romney needs to beat Mac in Florida.

I hope we get the final results from the Louisiana caucuses sometime this century.
 
All I can say now is SCREW ROMNEY

And that is not something I say much at all, Romney is FILTH. It mocks Paul for taking real stands, and being a conservative.

Go laugh in your mansion in Wolfsboro Mr Moneybags, because you certainly aren't White House material.
 
Since reading the OP, I've seen enough of Romney and his position on things to know that there is no way he and Dr. Paul could join forces or work together. It appears that in his lust for the Presidency, Mitt hasn't given careful thought to his stance economically and constitutionally. He is just like the rest of them, just with better hair. And, I ain't votin' for hair.

So ... this OP, based on his post, should be a Ron Paul supporter now, wonder what he's up to ?
 
David,

One of the first things that could be done is for Mitt to publicly apologize to Dr. Paul for his inappropriate behavior at previous debates. He has laughed at and made fun of Dr. Paul who has not returned it in kind. If Romney and Paul are to work together to preserve the conservative coalition, then there needs to be mutual respect. In this regard, it appears that Mitt has been unduly affected by Guiliani and McCain and their derision for Ron. A public apology and mending of his 'mistake' in this area would go a long ways.

QFT

And the numerous things ignored that WILL destroy this nation don't help his cause. People need to educate themselves.
