I know this may be heresy, guys, but I would personally be thrilled to see a deal struck for Rand Paul as VP or Ron as Treasury Secretary or maybe both

Treasury Secretary can be fired - Bush Jr. fired Paul O'Neill for instance. Ron would be a constant thorn in Romney's side, it would never last and I'm sure Paul knows it

A Lone Sentinel

I am not young, I am old...

...and until a year ago...I BELIEVED I lived in the land of the free; by the time I realized I had stood idle while my Liberty and Freedom was eased away...one small concession at a time...the hour of no return, was all but neigh...and, I felt a loss so bitter and so deep… it clawed its way up from my heart and wrenched itself from my eyes. My desolation caught in my throat, in great heaves of anguish and shame...and I wept...I am so ashamed...I am so ashamed…

In the midst of my despair I began to hear of one who was a steadfast champion of the Constitution, a thundering fist in a velvet glove, a lone, torch bearing sentinel, standing in the darkness, lighting the way to Freedom for all who would see and follow.

His name is Dr. Ron Paul.

I read and I listened…I listened and I read…I am now wide-awake…and I am educated…and I am a sheep no longer……and I am madder than Hell!!!

My father fought in the Battle of the Bulge, he slept in the mud and the blood and the freezing cold of the Ardennes; he bared his teeth and he killed, he endured and prayed and pressed forward, he was one of, “Roosevelt’s Bloody Hatchet Men”, the elite, and he would not be denied. And when the shooting and bombing and burning and killing was finally over, he came home.

My father returned to the, “Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave”, healthy on the outside, but, deep within his soul, where the eye cannot see and the ear cannot hear…he was mortally wounded.

For 63 years, my father screamed the horrors of “Freedom” into the darkness… his nightmares drenched the sheets with terror and turned his heart and his stomach with revulsion. For 50 years, I listened, as my father sacrificed his life, night after night, that I might breath free.

With resolve, and as a testimony to my father, and all who have sacrificed in like kind in the defense of our Nation and our Liberty and our Freedom…I will NEVER cast my single ballot… my blood bought vote… in favor of any which would threaten my Constitution and seek to enslave me or my countrymen.

Hear me……I will NEVER vote for, now will I acknowledge or support, anyone other than Ron Paul!

If the Republicans want to avoid a divided party...they can come to us.... for the distance is the same...and we will NEVER go to them.... so...the choice is THEIRS to make....we have made our decision.

The Republican Party can either come and get on Dr. Paul's train to Freedom ...or they can stay with Obama and his cronies at the station of Fascism…

GREAT POST.... +1 rep, and welcome!

^This and thank you

I take no credit for the selfless actions of heroes ...I try to tell it in a light which will change heart and minds...

 

[specsaregood]

So you think he’ll be able to "speak freely" when Romney pushes for the next bailout or next war??????

Sure, why not? VP can't be fired.

Thank you...and Welcome to you too fellow Freedom Fighter...

Don't don't come here very often, my son, R Treat likes it here and I try not to creep on his space. However, I came to see what the "serious minded" had to say concerning the events of the past few days.

You should come by more often! It's nice to see another member of my generation represented!!

OK…but when was the last time a VP spoke out against the President? Are you forgetting that Romney and Obama agree on more crucial issues than Romney and Paul? Romney is a big government pro-Fed neocon to the bone.

I don't see how Romney positions/actions has any affect on what Paul would do/say. This is why it is unlikely that he would be given the slot, but if they did I would expect some future fireworks.

...which is exactly the sort of thing a President (or POTUS candidate) wants to avoid. So, it ain't gonna happen. (Thank God)

Romney will not pick Ron Paul as his VP, that would be a disaster (plus I'm not convinced Paul would want the position). Can you imagine the VP debates where Paul would be contradicting most of Romney's positions? That wouldn't look very good. If Romney becomes the nominee he will avoid risks and pick someone safe that could possibly help him win a swing state.

What doesn't do anyone any good is attacking people who are pointing out the obvious.

If you'd like to bury your head in the sand and set yourself for a terrible disappointment when it's discovered a deal has been struck (the writing is clearly all over the wall) than so be it.

Yeah.. I need YOU to be my frikkn' nanny and save me from my emotions. GTFO. Yer a clown if that is what you think of the emotional state of real RP folks. All you caring hearts pumping dirty dishwater for our tender emotions just warms the cockles of my little ol' beater.

Maybe, just maybe the campaign is trying to show the establishment that the Liberty movement is now a well oiled self sustaining machine and we will not law down upon our swords. Maybe the campaign is trying to show the establishment that you truly can not stop "An idea who's time has come." From now straight through Tampa we must show the sheer size and magnitude of this Liberty Revolution. By donations and the continued delegate success they will have no choice but to hear our message

Unless Romney gets hit by a bus, VP is a useless post.

We should all become bus drivers if Ron or Rand become VP. Haaaa! , that ones going in my file

What is all the secrecy about? If the end run strategy requires an element of stealth, and benefits from a modicum of low expectations, now is not the time for an inspirational speech. That comes when expectations have been exceeded and Ron Paul stands with far more delegates at the convention than the MSM ever dreamed possible. Ron is asking us right now, (if we read between the lines just a bit) for some faith, that is all. Why is that so difficult to deliver, when we have canvased door to door, called thousands, donated until it hurt, infiltrated the local parties at every level, and generally become the knowledgeable political animals we so despised?

We could certainly focus some attention on rallying ourselves in the absence of official campaign hand holding, it is certainly a dispiriting time, but we don't need Ron Paul to be our nanny; we need him to be the willy political fox we all pray that he is. It is just a few more months now, what if this must be the end game now, will you still insist on a confirmation? A little cool shade, a little smoke, a little cover is welcome at this phase, in any case, the battle is sure to heat up soon enough. Remember: Ron Paul's job and our jobs are entirely different and have always been so.

And for those who are still having trouble reading between the lines:
What do you want Ron to tell us? That bound stealth delegates should vote their conscience on the first round at the convention? What about the actual intel they have gathered detailing all the delegate support they think they can count on, do you want that? Perhaps if there is some sort of deal being cooked up with Gingrich or Santorum delegates to hold off on the first vote, you want him to let us all in on this juicy bit of information? Would anything short of this convince you that all is not lost? What if he said: "I am focusing on a delegate strategy. There are things I can't tell you right now. Be dedicated, I will stand by your side every step of the way." Would that be enough for you?

From hear until August I am now considering all negative Nancy commentators to be either trolls, spies or provocateurs. This is just getting exciting.

I am right there with you....they don't call him the "Silver Fox" for nothin'.....
