Would you vote for Ron Paul if Romney was the VP

Ron/Romney ticket

  • Total voters
    220
I would still vote for Ron Paul is Romney was his running mate, but I'd do it with some regrets because you know it wouldn't be long before he's assassinated before he could get a lot done. The best one could hope for in that event is Ron Paul achieving a popularity on the level JFK did, good enough so that his son could surge to the White House easily later on and without an establishment VP to finish what his father started.
 
Logistically, I don't know how it would work.

Romney would have to actually somewhat understand liberty in order to defend Ron's positions in the public realm....and I just don't see that kind of humility coming from Mitt.
 
FWIW, for those of you who are voting no because of speculating on assassination possibilities, you're still essentially saying you'd rather have Obama than Paul - it's not like it's a foregone conclusion he'd be assassinated.

Personally, I'd rather vote for Paul and take the risk that he'll get offed, than just resign myself to 4 more years of Obama.
 
It's honestly kind of like mixing oil and water. I can't see Dr Paul going that direction. It seems like it would go against everything he believes in. That is NOT the Dr Paul I know and love. Very bizarre speculation.

No. Everyone here should say 'no'. This push for a Romney/Paul, Paul/Romney and Romney/Rand ticket is NOT coming from us. It is not coming from the campaign. The meme is coming from the establishment itself as it tries to do damage control over losing such massive mindshare to Ron Paul. They are floundering around, trying to figure out how to proceed.

Pushing forward the Paul/Romney meme to us, and trying to see if we'd go for it, is establishment politicking at its best.

If we are to the point that we are seriously discussing a Paul/Romney ticket, then we MUST recognize that we have the power in our hands to allow Ron Paul to choose his own running mate, rather than allowing the Establishment to choose one for him/us. I will not vote for a ticket involving Romney, period.

NO ONE BUT PAUL, AND EVEN THEN, MAYBE NOT

I sure would! Paul could fix a lot of crap before Romney got the coat tail nominee status. Plus Paul could be a mentor to Romney (like Yoda) and could convert him to the ways of the Jedi...I mean liberty.

You'd be voting for Ron Paul.

Not Romney.

Ron Paul would be the one who picked Romney.

Are you and anyone else distrusting the judgment of Ron Paul?

It seems that you are.
 
Yes I would, but I would be very worried about Ron's well being. It's a rather large assassination risk.

If anything incapacitates the President from fullfiling his duties, the VP takes over. It happens too. Voters better make sure that they are okay with the VP becoming President as well before they vote.

Romney is a part of the "fear monger, strip away your rights, war propaganda, make the military and corporate welfare system rich" machine.

I wouldn't go near that ticket with 10,000 foot pole, nor, let my love for Paul and his message dupe me into getting Romney into the Presidency if something were to happen to Paul.
 
This ticket puts a bullseye on Ron Paul's head. It's like an invitation to assassinate Dr Paul and he would be dead the first month he takes office.

This logic is sound. When the election is Paul (Hitler as VP) vs. Stalin (Pol-Pot as VP), and one of the tickets will win, you might as well go with Paul and pray he lives. However, it's an outrageous mistake to consider Romney as a possible VP choice in the first place. Secretary of State, MAYBE, if he were forced to use his charisma to promote Ron Paul's foreign policy. That's the only "deal" that doesn't mark Paul for death.

I agree with affa that we need to stop paying attention to this meme. Ron Paul isn't stupid enough to pick Romney as a VP, and the establishment is floating these questions because it helps them get a better idea of how to play the game against us. I say, screw them. NOBP, and Romney will not be offered VP.

This scenario really bothers me. This might provide an assassination incentive to some very evil people. Dr. Paul needs a liberty VP. Unless it's some brokered convention deal then I guess we have to accept it.

Update: Oops..sorry..I didn't read the whole thread..the assassination concerns have already been mentioned..

It wouldn't ever happen, so this is a silly ass post. You guys can't honestly believe that Ron would even ponder for a second of having this assclown in his administration.
 
If you really think a Ron/Romney ticket was worth a vote you don't know history.

Why would you place Ron Paul in immediate danger?You already know who the establishment wants as president.

In the event of a brokered convention, he might not have a choice.

Lets face reality here too, Ron and Romney are both deferring to each other regularly and not attacking each other. A deal could happen.
