There’s something about Romney that I just can’t fathom right now — maybe it’s that I think he lying through his teeth. Can’t quite put my finger on it.

Just don’t like him, I guess.

“Rudy has promised he would nominate judges who are conservative,so the abortion issue”

That’s easy...

Rudi could nominate judges till the cows come home..

all the while knowing that he’s safe from them actually sitting on the SCOTUS when they didnt pass the abortion litmus test...

Nice try...

Not at all. Many conservatives know they are not the middle, they are not moderates. And many of them know that Rudy is not a liberal on law and order, on fiscal policy, and on defending the country.

He is "liberal" on certain social issues, but not a socialist or communist like a lot of Democrat leadership is now.

Ron Paul has over inflaated exit poll results due to all of you Liberaltarians working up calluses on your dialing fingers.

If we want to ensure the Republcan party will be out of power for the next 50 years...we’ll elect Ron Paul as our candidate.

The ONLY reason he’s on the statge with real Republicans is because he can’t even get any notice by being honest and calling himself what he REALLY is...a member of the Libertarian Party.

If you and the other Paul cheerleaders REALLY believed he had a chance...why are you stirring up the Libertarian base to rally around Ron?

Why are you having to come to Republican strongholds like FR and attempting to convince us that Ron Paul is “conservative”.

It’s akin to me going to DU and trying to convince them that Fred Thompson is the REAL Liberal and Her Thigness and Obam are DINO’s.

"Tomorrow is zero hour" coming from Saudi Arabia on 9/10...

You're probably right. I'm glad we ignored that.

I don’t give a rats ass about the economic or money ideas of Ron Paul.
I live in San Diego which has the largest concentration of military in the world.
We also have over 30,000 Iraqies living here.
Unlike you who lives in the boondocks, I see and hear what is going on from people first hand. Than includes my many relatives who have and still serving in the war.

IF the IslamOfascist win, all the money in the Gov. won’t save us. We are dead.

I grew up in a neighborhood with tens of dozens of people who had number tats on their arm, they were fresh out of the concentration camps in Europe.
They were sent there because people like you don’t want to believe there is an enemy who want to destroy what is not lilke them.

Things like principles and liberty matter to some of us, not just pushing for the dominance of a mere political party that is currently betraying the Constitution.

Patricia, Ron Paul got one thing right: we could have avoided 9/11 if we had been willing to pay the price. President Bush wasn’t. Giuliani won’t, and hasn’t been. He’d rather scan the Internet traffic between you and me than deport the root cause of terrorism in our country: Islamic visitors and immigrants. When one takes a solemn moment to consider that, one becomes very sober. Ron Paul is a classic isolationist. I take issue with that. But I respect his skepticism about the Bush legacy.

No matter how hard Romney's spinners try to change the subject, it is painfully clear that Mitt Romney himself thought he was banning "scary" guns as Governor. His own comments when he signed the bill prove it:

"Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts. These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."

His comments tonight reaffirmed his stance:

"Well, let’s get the record straight. There’s no question I support Second Amendment rights, but I also support an assault weapon ban."

Paul 30%
Romney 27%
Rudy 16%

LOL. Well, the good thing about this is that it will show how idiotic and easily manipulated polls like this really are.

Yes, because your fiat statement makes it so. This is why the discourse of the nation is slow low. People won’t even listen to a rational fact based argument more than two lines long.
