Ya know, ....eff Ron Paul. I had some respect for him years ago, but you have to know when to fold em. His stance on foreign policy is a joke and no one would vote for him. If the Paul bots decide to stay home or write him in, we could have another 4 years of Obama. I guess that would show us.
I supported Gingrich and he gave it a shot and lost. Romney is the man and I will support him fully. In a democratic republic, that's the way it works. Anyone crazy enough to allow Iran to nuke up is too crazy to even be in Congress.

In a democratic republic, that's the way it works.Where do you live? You can't live in America as America is a Constitutional Republic, not a democratic republic.
America is a Constitutional Republic with democratic elements, not democratic principles.
Majority rule is the foremost principle of a democracy whereas the foremost principle in republicanism, IMO, is protecting the rights of the people.
If America were a democracy your rights could be taken away at whim by a majority vote of the populace.
A democracy, of any kind, is the very thing the Founding Fathers didn't establish.

Paul was always a scam, followers, fame and fortune, for a small time career politician, that would never escape the confines of his safe congressional seat.
