If Romney manages to use Ron Paul and US to get elected, then our movement is dead in my opinion. You have the most incorruptible politician in our time CAMPAIGNING for a known flip flopper. When I tell my friends who are mostly Democrats that Ron Paul is an honest man with a 30 year old track record. All they have to say is, "look he's just like any other politician, I saw him campaigning for Mitt Romney the other day."

Would you vote for Cheney after 8 years of Bush, would you vote for Biden after 8 years of Obama, would you vote for Paul after 8 years of Romney?
 
Surprised at the poll results. Sad.

Sad that 78 people would rather have Rubio or some other Neocon in Romney's ear than Ron Paul.
Sad that 78 people do not recognize how Ron could reach more people with his message as VP then out of office.

LOL..do you seriously think Romney or the PTB would allow Ron to talk about ending foreign wars, or ending the TSA, or the Patriot Act? Romney who wants to double Guantanamo? Please tell me in which alternate dimension that would be likely to happen? Oh and don't forget legalizing drugs...think Romney will go for that? When has a VP ever been allowed to oppose the policies of his boss?
The VP is the surrogate.

Why does Ron have to be campaigning for Romney? Why couldn't he be the VP nominee and campaign for himself at the same time? Also, what's wrong campaigning for Romney IF he promises steep budget cuts and to dramatically shrink the government?
 
wow @ the poll results...7 months ago everyone was so pumped for Iowa

now look what happened. thats politics! you take what you can get i guess!!!

So you would believe his promise? I mean Romney is known for keeping his word right? Oh maybe if pinky swore? Sorry I don't believe a damn thing that comes out his mouth NO MATTER who his VP is. This is the man that supports NDAA. He said that on national television but IF he promised to make government smaller, everything is just dandy.

You may believe him but he won't fool me.

Very simple. Ron out of office and no cabinet position = ZERO influence in effecting any sort of change you seek to policy or people in this country. Quite the opposite will happen since more like a Neocon VP will be influencing Romney.

Ron as VP = influence that may result in policy closer to what you seek and opens a national dialog making these beliefs acceptable to the masses for future policy to be made.

It is not the best case but that is the shitty reality we live in since our candidate lost.

Well, if Ron were chosen to be his VP and Ron accepted, then we would already be in an alternate dimension, right?
 
The VP is powerless, sure, but he gets covered by the media a lot more than non-VPs. Hell yes I would vote for it.

If the choice was between a ticket that got the movement some airtime and one that didn't, I'd take the former.
 
"There is our Crazy ol VP Ron Paul, man is he cooky, we love him, but damn is he is so extreme, he said that the wars were started by our actions, what a weirdo" Fox News if Ron Paul is VP....

Excuse me now, Im gonna go lay down in a pit of snakes, dont worry, Ill make some speeches or something and I'm sure the snakes will let me do my thing, peacefully.

Even if the movement would be tied to Romney and his fate forever? Whenever someone mentions Ron Paul, they will say Romney's running mate... Just think of Dan Quayle, Al Gore, Dick Cheney, and Joe Biden as proof...OMG the ROMNEY rEVOLution.... excuse me, I think I just threw up in my mouth!
 
I voted for McCain when I hated the guy just because of Palin.I never voted Republican before but I had to vote for Palin. She's the best this country has. If the Convention selects Ron Paul for Vice-President, then as difficult as it would be I'll have to grab my right hand with my left one and vote for Ron Paul for VP which regretfully will vote for Romney. But I will not listen to Romney unless Ron Paul stands by his side.

I prefer a brokered convention where Sarah Palin / Rand Paul ticket would emerge and bye bye Obama.

But Ron Paul would absolutely fix our country for good if he won the presidency.

I don't think I've read something more absurd on these forums.
 
Of course. It would show the GOP that reaching out to us (in this case, in a BIG way) helps them. If we wouldn't even support the GOP with a Paul vice president, they would see no reason to ever care about us again.

Hey, you're paying attention. That's cheating. NOBP NOBP NOBP. Just Kidding. agree with you.

Palin / Rand is less likely than Palin / Ron. Both Palin and Rand are a little bit light on the experience. Palin also doesn't need Rand for "republican base". She has "republican base" already. But she could use Ron's experience. Someone like Romney is more likely to take Rand, as Romney is not seen as needing extra experience, but would need help with "republican base".

Palin / Ron is a ticket that could get the nomination, provided that Romney gets eaten by sharks or some other black swan.
 
You don't understand Conventions. Once they mess up badly and elect Romney they will feel guilty as hell and would want to commit mass suicide. Then angels from heaven would appear (invisible but appear) and talk to many to prevent them from taking the red pill. God always provide a way out from hell if what was done was because of stupidity. They will try to relief guilt by nominating and electing Ron Paul for VP. Ron Paul will accept the VP election because we will consider it as a positive trend and as an honor to represent the movement higher up.

The sad thing is that Obama will beat Romney anyway. Ron Paul can't save Romney from his empty skimming snake head. But we will still be the better for it. The only ones that can beat Obama are either Ron Paul / Sarah Palin or Sarah Palin / Rand Paul.

Sarah Palin / Ron Paul.

And I have a nice bridge to sell you.

Romney's "history" is of being a big spender...he asked the feds for a $700 million bailout while Governor of MA. He GOT BILLIONS from the feds for his Massachusett's domestic spy programs (worked out with Netanyahu) which Bain ended up duplicating replicas of for China and that now cover the U.S. Go to you.tube, Romney is on SEVERAL VIDEOS saying HOW the BANK BAILOUTS saved us from economic collapse and praising Bernanke. Mitt Romney IS BIG BANKS, BIG GOVERNMENT AND BIG SPENDING.

But, WORST OF ALL, Romney has PLEDGED to spend an extra $1 TRILLION PER YEAR [over and ABOVE the almost $1 TRILLION Obama has budgeted to the Pentagon.

Now how can Romney PLEDGE almost $2 TRILLION DOLLARS to the Pentagon PER YEAR and balance the budget when the NET taken in from federal income taxes per year is only a little above $2 Trillion. What is going to get CUT with $2 TRILLION going to the Pentagon for twice as many aircraft carrriers AND planes AND nukes?? Are we going to get rid of ALL infrastructure? Or start pulling plugs and take away any extra-ordinary measures for "older" people that get sick so seniors don't NEED so much medicare?

However, let me be clear, finances (although Mitt's governing record are a testimony to how much he enjoys spending federal dollars) are NOT the reason I think Romney will be even WORSE than Obama. Besides having glorified torture for a decade and doing away with the need for warrants to eavesdrop or search in Massachusetts and being "swell" over the Patriot Act and NDAA, Romney's "White Papers" (his foreign policy plan), in my opinion, is a racist design for American supremacy and domination over the rest of the world.

Our young members of the military get sacrificed for power, strategy. petrodollars and oil. While at home, WE get stripped of EVERY freedom.

It doesn't matter that Obama is doing it. IF RON PAUL does ANYTHING to cause a single person to vote for Mitt Romney, he contributes to the murdering & turning the U.S. into a police state, he says he despises.

Picking the lesser evil is what America has been doing for years.

We have backed monster after monster...the Shah of Iran, Saddam Hussein when he was fighting Iran, Osama Bin Laden when he was fighting the Russians...SEE WHERE THAT HAS GOTTEN US??!!!

Now some are trying to do it in this presidential election. LOOK...sometimes there IS NO LESSER EVIL. Just like where the U.S. is propping up the evil & corrupt Kahrzai against the Taliban, where the Syrian rebels that are infiltrated with Al Qaeda are fighting Assad, like when we propped up the murderous Ky against the People's Liberation Army in Vietnam, like where the GOP neocons (some of whom are Romney advisers) are having fundraisers for the MEK because the MEK wants to take over Iran BUT, the MEK is a terrorist group guilty of killing Americans..SOMETIMES THERE ISN'T A GOOD GUY.

Some things AND some people CANNOT BE SUPPORTED morally. Individuals who believe that SOMETIMES the end justifies BAD means, always, always, always end up in worse shape than when they started. Every case I cited was of a "lesser evil" being supported for some "greater good" down the road. But it ended up BITING US. Millions and millions of innocents died as a result, too.

I AM TAKING A STAND. I AM DONE making excuses for and overlooking what I can see with my own eyes is just plain evil. Sometimes you've got to say enough. Even if you can't stop it, you can at least NOT CONTRIBUTE TO IT.

In my opinion.
