Ron Paul: I Have Not Decided If I'll vote Romney

[erowe1]

I don't think there is MUCH OF ANYTHING, Romney has to offer Ron Paul that would be worth Ron Paul sacrificing his integrity for.

1) Why did you include the words "much of"?
2) Who said anything about Ron Paul sacrificing his integrity?

 

[TheTexan]

Not that any of this is in the realm of possibility in the first place, but simply being on the ticket as VP by itself is not a sacrifice of integrity.

 

[pacelli]

Quit splitting hairs.

Ron is the commander in chief. Ron says, I follow.

Pretty simple. Delegates???? Stand up when he tells you to do so.

The man gets his fucking speech without any bullshit from the neocon/Obamney-camp.

Period.

There might be consequences to coming out against Romney. He might want to save it for bigger impact at a later date with more media presence. Whatever.

It keeps it more interesting for him to withhold his position on this. I know he has indicated he has no interest in running third party....... I hope he does. He has not definitely ruled it out either. My guess is, if he doesn't run Independent, he will endorse Gary Johnson.

 

[puppetmaster]

I believe that he will be voting for the nominee.....and that will not be mittens

Doing anything to cause someone to cast a vote for Romney, considering that Romney is a "wanna-be" war criminal and and endorses turning the U.S. into a police state (even OWNING "spy centers") is a sacrifice of integrity.

Think of all the veterans and active duty military (who put themselves at risk) who gave their time and money because they have SEEN FOR THEMSELVES how wrong it is to OCCUPY other countries...what does it say to them if Ron Paul gives ANY hint of a nod of approval in Romney's direction?

In my opinion.

 

[sailingaway]

Ron hasn't. Why do you think he will?

 

[TheTexan]

Pointing out the infinite failures of Obama causes people to cast a vote for Romney, should we not do that either?

People are responsible for their own actions. It's not Ron's fault if people would vote for Romney solely because they share a ticket

What does it say to the mother of a fallen soldier, a soldier that was slaughtered away from his home in a foreign country, FOR NO GOOD REASON, if Ron Paul's we're all "on the same team" kind of speech gets Romney an extra VOTE?

I am NOT going to encourage ANYONE to be a part of ANYTHING that leads to MORE senseless and needless deaths.

As someone here said a day ago, "You lie down with dogs. You get fleas." Romney and his crowd are crawling with cooties. No good can come from ANY association with them.

In my opinion.

What are you talking about I'm just talking about sharing a ticket.

In the infinitely improbable scenario Ron was offered VP, and did accept, he'd probably spend as much time pointing out Romney's failures as Obama... and this is exactly why Romney would never offer it to him....

Being on the SAME ticket as Romney MIGHT get Romney some EXTRA VOTES.

I DON'T want Ron Paul to help Romney get votes ANY MORE than I want Ron Paul to HELP OBAMA GET VOTES.

I don't care if there ARE NO OTHER CHOICES. I refuse to be a part of the senseless murder of "our own" OR exterminating people who have DONE US NO HARM and with whom we are NOT AT WAR. And since Obama AND Romney have told us IN ADVANCE that that is what they intend to DO...voting for those men is becoming an accomplice.

If I were in Germany during W.W.II, I HOPE I'd be hiding Jews, not turning them in for some "good citizen" badge. I hope that I wouldn't have voted for Hitler because everybody was saying if I didn't Germany would be taken over by Communism. Yep...back then people voted for Hitler because Hitler was raising the nasty spector of communism and socialism. Sound familiar???

Obama, Bush, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Poi, Ismail Enver ALL are (in my opinion) war criminals. Yet, Romney says Obama is TOO WIMPY and NOT TOUGH ENOUGH ON Muslims...Never mind that Obama has killed LOTS AND LOTS OF MUSLIMS...and the Arabs voted Obama the MOST HATED AMERICAn EVER...EVEN MORE HATED THAN BUSH. Romney has spent the past decade writing about how he is going to expand the secret prisons, the virtues of torture and he's also MADE MONEY selling and building spy centers...(kind of like Chertoff with his TSA machines. Fearmongering and the "War on Terror" has been great for anyone partnering with domestic spy and weaponry corporate investors.)

Considering "what" Romney is, being on the same ticket with him or garnishing a single vote for Romney should make anyone's skin crawl.

In my opinion.

Well, having Ron Paul in office critiquing Romney's policies and resigning with media coverage if Romney invades Iran is worth a few votes imho. I think that would be great, and Obama and Romney are equally bad, so I'd vote for Ron.

But I completely understand your thinking. I just don't want Ron to retire with no one nearly as good on the horizon, imho.

It isn't going to happen, though. We all know Romney, or at least the money behind Romney, would rather have Romney lose. Obama gives them what they want too.

There is something going on between Ron and Romney as I have always stated. It started with Ron never attacking Mitt once during 21 debates yet attacked Newt in lowa knocking him out there as well as going after Santorum a few times near the end for the sucker punches. Hence, Santorum's belief there is a deal.

If Ron doesn't know by now if he is voting for Romney, he is holding out for good news whatever that might be to say YES.

I disagree with you on the first part and hope you are wrong on the second. I think people in the campaign and Rand want him to endorse Romney. I sure don't.

AMEN to that! I genuinely don't think there is a deal but i also am sure Rand has been asking him to endorse. Rand knows (at least he thinks he knows) that if Ron endorses then that will make his life a lot easier in '16.

He's wrong. It will just mean there won't be much movement left by 2016, imho.

At least not in the sense that Rand can tap into it.

We are drawn to proven adherence to principles as moths to a flame and if you turn the light off....

Time will tell. Wait for it before you get wound up about it. Speculation is just speculation.
