Ron Paul will be on Fox & Friends AND Morning Joe this morning (01/11/12)

[bluesc]

I don't know. Personally I'd have to do some soul searching on supporting that one, Romney would still be President and from my understanding Rand voted for sanctions? Hmmm..

That would make you a purist . Most people would look at it as Rand being VP and guaranteed the Republican nomination in the future. It doesn't make a difference which President is in power if Rand is the VP pick in 2012. Romney loses? Rand runs in 2016. Romney wins? Rand runs in 2020.

Anyway, Ron is still very much in this race to win.

romney/rand? wtf. only if romney syas -all troops home within 6mths .or within the first year say by which the first 800 billion deficit reduction will be in place. i dont care about rand.this is about positions.if romney can implement them,good.if not,even ron as the vp makes NO sense. what are we,slaves of the name paul? or slaves of positions against the status quo.

and the fed.oh lord.nothing will be done there if ron is not in the whitehouse.will romney ensure jim grant gets to be the next head of the fed? so that he can draw a transition plan to end the fed?

dont give up on our positions just to see our favorite son in office

The Paul family carries the independents, while Rubio only carries the minorities in Florida. Rand would make huge headlines in a debate against Biden, he would rally the Tea Party conservatives, and he would bring Ron along to campaign stops that would rally the Paulites. Don't assume Rand isn't a great choice for VP and don't assume Romney is giving it serious consideration.

I disagree. Mitt Romney is many things, and smart is one of them.

He realizes there will be no way to beat Obama without us. Therefore, he could attempt to attract us.

I do not think Rand would accept for many reasons, the big one being that it would be shooting himself in the foot. Everything this movement stands for could potentially be destroyed bc we need Rand in four-eight years. Romney's nomination will bring regrets four years from not, just how McCain's does now from 2008. Just look how the conservatives keep trying to find the "anti-Romney" to go up against Obama. People are not excited about Romney. Rand does not want to be a part of that.

Romney/Rubio (pathetic)

........
5,286. Have the Head Start program's wonderful services returned to the State, Local, Private, Church, and Charity level rather than be inefficiently reigned supreme on everybody from Washington.

MSNBC Translation: Ron Paul to end Head Start, throw toddlers out onto street to starve

Don't assume Rand isn't a great choice for VP and don't assume Romney is giving it serious consideration.

Where did I say he wouldn't be a good choice or a great choice? I just know he won't. Especially after Palin, they are not going to choose someone that is a wildcard. I don't even think Rand wants the VP slot, at least now. I think he wants to work on his senate career.

I would love for Rand to be VEEP if Ron doesn't get the nominee, which he will. However, in my opinion, I don't see Rand being the VP.

Romney will be looked at in four years from now in the same light as McCain did in 2008, a horrible nominee pick. Just look how the conservatives keep trying to find the "anti-Romney" to go up against Obama. People are not excited about Romney. Rand does not want to be a part of that.

Yes, he is smart, and would attempt to attract us by attempting to grab Rand as VP. I had a typo in my post. It was meant to read "Don't assume Romney isn't giving it serious consideration".

Seriously you wouldn't vote for Rand over one thing. Incredible. I'm sorry, nobody is going to agree with anybody on every last stinking issue. Purism gets sickening after a while.

If Ron or Rand is in the VP slot, I will vote for them. Your vote is not for just president, it is for both. Actually it is for the electors that will vote for President AND Vice-President. If I failed to vote for Ron or Rand, I'm not voting for them to be Vice-President. No way, no how will I do that.

Rand is the most presentable conservative there is. He is the most articulate there is. There is no way anyone will see him in the same light as they saw Palin.

I made that tube. How the hell did you post it before I did? I was waiting for it to be processed .

Yes they can in terms of experience, vetting, etc. Rand is more intelligent and well spoken, but that again isn't the point. It is a matter of record and political choices. Rand will not be on the ticket. I guarantee it.

 

[jersdream]

Anyways Ron on the ticket makes FAR more sense than Rand on the ticket....The Vice-President has hardly ever been the inexperienced politician. It goes against the grain. You tend to want a statesman, an older and more experienced statesmen as the VP.

Well he won't be on the ticket if Ron is the nominee, that's for sure. Romney only needs independents to balance his ticket for the win. He doesn't need anyone with any particular experience to balance it. This is an economy election, not a national security election. He has the "business experience". He needs true, presentable conservative that can draw in the Paulites that would likely swing the election. You have written Rand off, Romney and his top staff haven't.
