Rep. Ron Paul of Texas said Monday he will not compete in primaries in any of the states that have not yet voted — essentially confirming Mitt Romney will win the Republican presidential nomination. Mr. Paul said he will continue to work for delegates in states that have already voted and where the process of delegate-selection is playing out. He said that’s a way to make his voice heard at the nominating convention in Tampa, Fla., in August. “Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted,” Mr. Paul said. “Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have.” He did encourage his supporters to still turn out and vote. His decision not to compete for new votes in other states leaves Mr. Romney as the only candidate still actively fighting for voters’ support.

Thank you for your post - it exactly explains why many of us cannot vote against Biblical principles and that is what we would do if we voted for Romney.
This yam person is out of his league when he crosses a Bible thumper like me.
You beat me by two years and I’ll never catch up.
You gotta be kidding. I don't recall you outside of this thread, yet I chuckle at your assertion.
Republican elites can’t make a person win. What you said about Fox News and Radio talk show hosts is completely off, cause I watched and listened and saw for myself. If you are off about that, then that means you are the one who is misinformed. What’s this balony about the Republican Elite? What is this, some strategy about divide and conquer? I think Romney had an uphill battle to win the nomination. I saw him fighting really hard for it, I didn’t see anyone hand him anything. That’s just a bunch of propoganda for people who can’t bear to admit the truth that Romney is really tough. There is nothing to back up what you say, other then the fact that it has been used as a brainwashing mantra. I didn’t see anyone bending over backwards for Romney, but I did see a 4 year smear campaign trying to destroy Romney. And it didn’t work. Romney survived the propoganda smear tactics, cause he’s strong. That’s why he is has been very successful in business. No one handed Romney anything. Fox News was very biased against Romney, the whole time to the point where they were unwatchable to those who liked Romney. They have only recently backed off cause they had mud on their faces for trying to stop him. Romney is as tough as nails, and that’s why Obama’s mask is coming off. He can’t do that stupid hope and change schtick now that he has a real oppoenent. Now Obama’s mask is finally coming off cause he has a real opponenet, ,for the first time. No one else has forced Obama to take off his mask. And you can thank Romney.
Oops. Yamhead has stepped in it this time.
He messes with the lady. The one who knows a thing or two about faith and politics and has dealt with a few real @$$ hats on FR a time or two.
We’ve got us a live one!
Calling FReepers demonic, liars, evil, and now determining that onyx is “dishonest”, with her failure to understand “simple ideas”, is a receipe for the Viking Kitties.
All this, over a self proclaimed Progressive. UNBELIEVABLE.
I don’t like being called a liar. Messing with onyx hits the same siren.
Yeah, well we’re pretty close, compared to someone who signed up in ‘11. This potato person has also been around a long time, so his attitude surprises me a bit.
If this is supposed to actually mean something I have no idea what it is.
We have a media cult formed now that they have electricity, who feed on the lamestream media and think it’s bankable. LOL!
You can’t argue with airheads. Living on lipstick to pretty up their motivations to vote for a self proclaimed Progressive on a Republican ticket, with a record to prove it of even worse that’s a mile long in Massachusettes, because they’re skeered, says they are okay with a Progressive administration.
Those of left who are against that crap and intend to knock it down have to deal with sponges educated at the knee of FOX NEWS.
If it were not so pathetic, it would be laughable.

It does mean something, but you are so unhinged I have no expectation you will grasp the meaning. I guess I couldn’t resist casting a few pearls before you.
You are a liar because you willfully say things that you know to be false.
People who are neither cazy nor stupid recognize that FR is in the depths of a group psychosis/demonic possession these days.
Most sane FReepers have either abandoned the site or remain silent in the face of the evil lies being told.
I choose to battle for truth.
You want to stop crazy start there.
The Iie is trying to make Mitt out as a true conservative.
You want to stop the lies stop trying to present him as such.
Stupid is...
Well you get the point.
Mitt maybe it but stop kidding yourself and trying to fool others.
But lets be fair, Romney is severely conservative and this obvious asset that he has stated keeps being shoved under the rug.
We liberal fanatics here at FR refuse to give Romney his conservative credit where it is due.
Wow...
Love is blind...
Got to be the hair. Chicks dig Mitt’s hair...
ROTFLOL. Yes, “severely” conservative. That’s impressive!
And the point of that on May 14th, 2012 is what???
Newt is gone, Cain crashed and burned, Santorum is gone. Bachmann has moved out of the country. etc...
Don't forget Ron Paul stated the the United States didn't belong even in World War II.
What else can one say about someone with that viewpoint?
Of course it doesn't make Romney a conservative (and I have never said that it does) but it does make those who claim that Romney is a "self-proclaimed progressive" liars.
See how that works?
I do not trust Romney and I have never said that I do. I have never said that anyone else should trust him either.
The Iie is trying to make Mitt out as a true conservative.
I have never so much as suggested anywhere that Romney is a true conservative.
You want to stop the lies stop trying to present him as such.
I have done no such thing. You lie when you claim otherwise.
