It will be a massive case of self deception if we end up voting for Romney, who: passed centrally planned health care for his state, supported bank bailouts, supported assault weapons bans, supports continuing the Bush/Obama interventionist foreign policy, supported NDAA, supports the TSA, and lord knows what else he has planned for us.
I can't imagine anything Romney can do to convince me to not vote for Ron Paul, Vermin Supreme, or Gary Johnson. His history is tarnished.

Getting a Ron Paul supporter to vote for Romney?

I actually caught this section of the re-run of this focus group show. The clip in the OP does not show the whole thing, as some fox news contributor (forgot his name) goes on to respond and say that Ron Paul and his supporters are nothing on the national scale and will have no effect on the outcome of the election.

I've been doing battle off and on today on a Facebook friend's thread with what is apparently a bunch of Paul primary voters in Tennessee (I'm in CA) who are now adamant about voting for Romney. They don't want to continue down the road to socialism (LOL). The mantra is "NOBAMA." Also, they don't want to "waste" their vote on Gary Johnson. So it is, indeed, quite surreal and very frustrating. They are all simply duped into voting for the two-headed monster. So, it seems possible that there may be scores of Paul supporters in the primaries that will cast their vote for Mittens in November. Plus, Matt Larsen offers no evidence whatsoever that Mittens needs the entirety of the Paul primary voters to win in November.

The only Ron Paul supporters who would ever support Romney are people who are attracted to our energy and want to be apart of some kind of movement (similar to the occupy phenomenon) but aren't actually 'awake'.
I suspect that those people account for a very small percentage of Ron Paul supporters.

I wish we could shove Romney and Obama in the LHC and let them collide. On second thought, I'm almost certain that would create a super massive black hole.

I want to say that I wouldn't vote for Romney/Ron Paul ticket, but the truth is that I probably would. Ron Paul as an opposition VP voting NO on everything, with the President's ear is a lot better than Ron Paul as a retired Congressman.

I've run across quite a few who are doing the same, except with Obama rather than Romney... both choices make common sense cry
The point being tho that I think many of those Paul voters who do actually accept a substitute (I can't and won't vote for the two headed monster myself) are going to be more or less of a wash, as Paul very much did draw from all over the political spectrum. Willard (by the last analytics I read, which are I should mention several weeks old) needs to counter the strong showing of Obama among the "youth" and "minorities" (both terms I feel are used pretty loosely in politics but meh), further the GOP in general is currently the smaller party and the lest enthusiastic voting pool (both by average survey numbers) and needed something to compensate.
If we epically oversimplify and say 1/3 of Paul supporters vote Paul/3rd party/stay home (I think it'll be higher than this), 1/3 goes Willard (think it'll be lower, and 1/3 goes Obama (think it'll be lower, but could really have numbers that'll hurt Willard in certain states), then Willard fails to convert. If half or more of the Paul primary supporters take the Paul/3rd party/stay home option then then same result occurs.
I maintain what I've been saying since before the primary started, in a race between Willard and Obama it is Obamas race to lose.

Unfortunately, I think there are more than we think. I know several "supporters" who voted for Ron Paul but are still willing to vote Romney in the general. Don't quite get it, but that's what it is.
I'm not really seriuos about this, but we should all vote Obama just for spite.

Put Ron Paul on the ticket? I think that could do it for me. Anything short of that will not work.
I know a lot of you wouldn't vote for Romney even if Paul was on the ticket, but I'd do it, just to make his name and ideas get more coverage. They couldn't ignore the Vice President. Especially, if he was constantly criticizing the administration!

If Romney put Ron Paul as vice president you know somebody would go out there and kill Romney. Just so RP would be president.
Romney will never do it.

Possible false flag?
He stands in the way of Paul being nominated and no one is trying to harm him.
I don't think the average joe kills presidents. IMO That's the powers taking out their figure head. Flip flop Romney will be fine. Paul as President might be a problem to them.
