If you want to get rid of 0, either is better. But both are the most flawed candidates that the GOP offered this year.
This moring, Romney is crowing about his support of the auto company bailouts.
I rest my case
Dr Ron Paul is the one...and ONLY choice among a herd of lessor evils...
Semper Watching!

I hear you - red to red in IL so to speak...
As much as I do like the basic libertarian view on many issues, I’m kinda with Santorum when he said “I don’t believe in *no* government”. I have to part ways with Ron Paul and others when it comes to legalizing harmful drugs, sticking our heads in the sand internationally, and other things.
I think the right combination of common-sense Libertarian and conservative principles would be unstoppable, but that’s sure not Ron Paul. Not that he has a chance against Romney anyhow.
Sadly, here in our state I’m afraid Jokin’ Joe Biden would be a step up from our present state politicians...

‘Ron Paul wishes Israel didn’t exist’

whom do you mean by “we”?
TX, CA, & NJ primaries are upcoming. I ain’t the “we” in there.
PS I couldn’t figure out if this was a vanity or what.
Ron Paul would be an abject world wide disaster...
I am not thrilled about it, but the facts are simple, Romney for good or ill is going to be the Nominee.
Don’t have to like it but do have to accept it.
Now, this leaves in practical effect 2 choices:
1) Continue to attack and bash Romney and undermine him and by those actions help the re election effort of Obama
or
2) Support Romney, begrudgingly and do what we can to ensure his victory and work to hold his feet to the fire after the election.
Reality is, if we continue to attack Romney, justified or not, we help those who are even more an enemy to our cause. Its a crap decision I know, but its the only one that exists this election cycle.
I voted for RP in the NYS primary.
ABO in november.
If given a choice between Dr. Paul, Mitt or Obama, I’ll have to go with Dr. Paul, even if he is a tinfoil fruitcake.
As someone has pointed out, he can't do it alone, the Congress makes the laws, he either signs or vetoes them.
While he is appealing on some fiscal and domestic fronts, Ron Paul is unacceptable on foreign policy.
Ron Paul has no chance of beating 0bmama.
Ron Paul is a nut case. And that is absolute best anyone can say about him. If you want a second term for BO, vote Ron Paul. Not happy about MR, but not about to commit suicide over it by voting for RP.
The insane who leans liberal, or the liar who is liberal; that is the question.
Ron Paul is nothing to be frightened of, because though he may prevent the onerous Romney from getting the nomination, in combination with the Santorum and Gingrich delegates, his people are not strong enough to get Paul the nomination.
So right now, the real conservative leaders are trying to figure out who they will nominate who is acceptable to the 60-70% of delegates who are conservatives. And no, if given the choice, it won’t be Santorum or Gingrich either.
Whoever it is will have to embrace the sane parts of the Paul agenda to get their support, tempered with strong conservatism on conservative’s core issues that are not repulsive to the Paul delegates.
And this could be a huge victory for both conservatives and for the country.
This potential conservative nominee is going to have to both give promises and get promises from the congressional Republican leadership for support if he hopes to win big, and the conservatives are going to watch this like a hawk to make sure that the leadership does not try to force him to “moderate”, which would ruin his presidency.
Some key issues I can imagine:
1) Giant cutbacks in the size and power and spending of the federal government. An end to “czars” and presidential signing statements and abuse of recess appointments.
2) Restoration of the 4th Amendment and the downgrading of the Intelligence-Police behemoth, to reasonable levels of security. “Foreigners are the enemy, not the American people.”
3) Securing the border with Mexico and an end to a lot of the stupid, internationalist treaties.
4) Massive scale energy development along with the return of a lot of the federally taken lands to the states.
5) The appointment of rock solid conservatives to the Supreme Court and federal bench.
6) Yes, the military is going to have to take some hits as well, but this needs to be done sensibly, such as much tighter controls over major weapons systems programs. We cannot afford any more destroyers that cost as much as aircraft carriers.
7) Get the federal government and most insurance companies out of routine medical care. This alone will drop its price by 50%.
I feel like I need a shower now.
Mitt will never get my vote.

Romney is the most socialist Republican that’s ever been offered to us. Our biggest crisis right now is the debt and the biggest driver of the debt is entitlements. Romney has shown he will cave and buckle every time a welfare entitlement is challenged so that he can pander for votes. He has also remained extremely supportive and positive throughout the primary about his great socialist entitlement Romneycare.
Even our military leaders have said our greatest national security crisis is the debt. The only reason we have been a powerful military force is because our economy has been so productive. Our debt will absolutely crush us as a world power and make it impossible to sustain a competitive military.
Despite Ron Paul’s faults on social and foreign policy issues, he is an extremist when it comes to fiscal conservatism and that is what we desperately need right now. We need spending austerity and slashing of taxes to save our economy. Whatever Paul might screw up on other issues, we can fix later. The debt is something we simply will not be able to fix if it gets any worse. It will be the end of America as a significant world power and will leave us vulnerable to all forms of military and foreign invasion.
I am pretty sure the Congress would make financing Israel a prime issue and force Paul to cave on that. That’s a bipartisan issue.
Bottom line, Ron Paul almost certainly can’t win the primary, but when you have a choice between him and Romney, Paul is the obvious and only choice for the desperate fiscal times we live in.
simple logic applies here:
fubo is a socialist
mcromney is a socialist
socialism is the enemy of the republic
therefore, if you support mcromney, you support socialism
that makes anyone and everyone who supports him an enemy of the republic
if the choice is between paul and fubo, I could hold my nose and pull the lever for paul.
Since I am not a socialist, not do I support socialism, there is not a chance I will cast my ballot for a socialist.
