a Romney/Paul or Paul/Romney team would be unstoppable against the Obama machine.

Just reporting in.

(He voted for Ron Paul in the primary here last time, is big into gun rights, but leans slightly neocon.)

 

[low preference guy]

it would probably unite the Republican party but Ron Paul won't accept it.

Why wouldn't he?

COALITIONS...What are they, in Ron Paul's world?

 

[JulioForPaul]

He is obviously a secret Romney fan who wants to express his support for Romney but doesn't want to get cut off.

 

[wgadget]

IMO, such a coalition would take the social cons down a few notches, and deservedly so. IMO.

 

[low preference guy]

Why wouldn't he?

because he won't support statism and evil. what kind of question is that?

All the more reason he should accept.

All the more reason he should accept.

VP is a virtually powerless position, and Romney won't be VP to Ron's POTUS.

 

[bobburn]

If he is offered such a position, and we are not in a position to win, I hope he has the political acumen to take the position and move the liberty movement a giant step forward.

FYI, Ron is done in politics after 2012.

the giant step forward of using your votes to put in the White House a statist who will grow the size of government?

[liveandletlive]

i will burn all of my RP books if he ever does that

 

[Czolgosz]

Paul/Romney - ok

Romney/Paul - not w/ my vote.

You guys are talking crazy. There is very good reason RP won't accept it. Last I remember this isn't about uniting the GOP. What are the differences between Romney and Obama? Is Romney a true conservative? Does Romney embrace any of the values of Ron Paul?

 

[tremendoustie]

COALITIONS...What are they, in Ron Paul's world?

People working together to accomplish a particular pro-liberty objective, even if they don't agree on other issues.

I can tell you what it's not: It's not pro-liberty people agreeing to promote anti-liberty objectives.

FYI, Ron is done in politics after 2012.

his term ends in 2016

Uh, no, the movement is not "moved forward" by supporting another anti-liberty, pro-war, pro-big government politician. I think the word you were looking for was "crippled" or maybe "co-opted".

VP is a virtually powerless position, and Romney won't be VP to Ron's POTUS.

actually, Romney I think is in it for the publicity/fame/recognition, I think he would be happy as a VP. Paul/Romney I would do.

 

[tremendoustie]

Why wouldn't he?

The same reason he wouldn't accept a position as Obama's running mate. He stands for everything RP's against.

In fact, the reason I support RP at all is precisely because he's refused to support anti-liberty bills and politicians for the sake of political expediency.
