I am not going on board with Paul, but I am happy that he is making it more likely that Romney won't get the nomination. Since Paul's line about legalizing plants got the biggest reaction from the crowd, I assume that this is a big drawing point for him among the youth. However, he also has support from serious Libertarians and survivalist types, among others. I actually think Santorum and Paul should team up, but they probably differ too much on certain issues.
Paul...?
The Occupiers who support him will be too stoned to show up to vote in the final election. Obama wins 95-5 per cent.
--While campaigning in Iowa on Wednesday, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul praised the Occupy Wall Street movement (--Weekly Standard)
THE CHOICE OF AN "OCCUPY" GENERATION
Hey, I hear you about Paul’s convictions, etc. The problem is that there are a lot of guys in all walks of life that completely agree with him and have the same convictions. And like him, none of them could hope to be an effective president.
That said, he would be better than Romney or Obama. ;-)
Romney has 856 Delegates and needs 288 more delegates to secure the nomination. Ron Paul could get 70% of all the remaining delegates and Romney would still win.
Is this possible? No
Is it delusional, bordering on insanity to even suggest that it is possible? Yes
I am no Romney fan, but facts are facts.
I would not react unfavorably to this tactic if it in fact denied the nomination to that POS Romney.
Even though I take issue with some of Pauls stands I would be able to “hold my nose” and vote for him in the general.
I also know that having him as the GOP candidate would throw the youth (college) support for Zero into Chaos. These guys are not necessarily a huge voting block but they ARE tireless supporters and a gigantic asset for the ground game.
I know we have these ABO people pissing around FR, but we are not at that point. Right now, IM all about Anyone But Romney. While Paul has flaws, they are NOT fatal like Romney’s.
Even if its not Paul in the end, we will still have an opportunity to deny it to the GOP-e, which is MUCH more than we have now. Who knows... maybe we can recruit Scott Walker to step up..
I don’t think it’s likely but I’ll stay at home before I’ll vote for Paul. The guy is a loon.
OhNOE, what if RP destroys the great warrior of the Right, Mythie? What will Ann (Fat-Girl) Coulter say, or what about Romney lover Sheppy and the other FOX tools. We Want ROMNEY NOW!

Time for another view of TheRobb7’s brilliant visual: post #19. I’m gonna have another ho-made cappucino this am to celebrate.
so what is his total and what is the total for Romney
I have a big problem with the paulee delegates being democrats in “blue republican” temporary clothing.
how about no.
Gingrich is completely craven.
And monkeys could still fly out of my butt.
Author of the article is a dumbass. Iowa’s delegate have yet to be “elected”.... the delegate slate has been nominated, and supposedly ratified at the state convention. The author is putting the cart before the horse - and the numbers referred to are delegates to be nominated to the convention. The Paulistinans have also packed the state central committee, as well as a good number of county delegations.
Bottom line: Iowa’s delegation to the national convention will not have any reflection on the outcome of the caucuses - and will be the end of Iowa as first in the nation - deservedly.
Dewhurst is...well...a dumbass. He's not a bright guy. Cruz, on the other hand, is awesome. A one-on-one debate between the two would result in a referee stepping in to save Dewhurst from being beaten senseless.
>>I say we all join forces and all vote for Newt Gingrich on the 15th<<
Huh? Newts not even in the race.
Conservatives and Tea Partiers ^will^ become highly energized with a brokered convention.
Besides, he's a real "looker"!
“You’d better WORK!”
<< I don’t think it’s likely but I’ll stay at home before I’ll vote for Paul. The guy is a loon. >>
In polls after polls, when the American people are asked about their viewpoints, they come up closer to Ron Paul’s than to any other candidate. Ask yourself, aside from one or two foreign policy issues, what exactly is it that you disagree with him about?
Ron Paul is a medical doctor and a long-time Congressman, far from being a “loon,” as you so ignorantly refer to him. And by the way, name-calling says more about the people do it than the person to whom its intended.
We are doing all we can to support Mr. Cruz. We believe he’s the “real deal”.
