So you're a full-blown paultard? You need to start calling him "Dr. Paul".
It helps in the classification process.

Tea party favorite and pro-life conservative Sarah Palin and her family were viciously attacked to the point she chose not to run.
Congressional Tea Party Caucus leader and constitutional pro-life conservative Michele Bachmann had early promise, but I guess came across as too "shrill" and consequently her numbers driven down to the point she exited.
Successful pro-life conservative Texas Governor Perry hit the race at the top but due to missteps and less than stellar debate performances soon fizzled and is now all but gone.
Pro-life conservative businessman Cain and his famous 9-9-9 plan had promise, but was driven out due to indefensible allegations.
Pro-life Reagan Revolution conservative Newt Gingrich reinvigorated his campaign and soared to the top of the national polls, but was unacceptable to the establishment and apparently also unacceptable to the "true conservatives" among us and his numbers are now plummeting
You'd think "unquestionably" pro-life, pro-family conservative Rick Santorum whose recent surge took him to a tie in Iowa and who's now surging in the national polls might be good enough to stand against Romney for the base, but looks like there are "true conservatives" now attacking HIM as not good enough.
Well, drive them all out and who's left?
Huntsman? Who? Moonbat Paul?
Ideas anyone? Should we all continue attacking the conservatives we don't like until we drive them all out?
Personally, I could easily have lived with Palin, Bachmann, Cain, Perry, Newt or Santorum and would be proud to enthusiastically support any of them, warts and all. Any one of them is infinitely better than Obama or Romney.
But if we don't land on one soon and raise him up over Romney, guess who we're going to be stuck with? And it ain't going to be pretty. And if abortionist/statist/progressive Romney (or moonbat Paul) is the one, might as well get used to four more years of Obama. I won't vote for or support either one of those two.
I'd suggest that we all stop trying to tear down the other conservative candidates in the race and instead concentrate on trying to build up our own personal favorites. Who knows? May even discover an acceptable conservative (if not a great conservative) in the bunch. We've never had a perfect conservative yet. Not even the magnificent Ronald Reagan. We and they all have warts.
But we do want to have a candidate with at least an actual CONSERVATIVE record and not an out and out liberal progressive RINO. So let's compare their records and their actual conservative accomplishments but not try to destroy them personally.
God bless and may the best CONSERVATIVE be our nominee.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!
The upside is that three good conservatives remain Santorum, Gingrich and Perry and their numbers combined swamp those of Romney.
We should really refrain from attacking these decent men. I'm not talking about legit criticism but from making extraordinarily stupid statements like they are "RINOS", not "true conservatives" etc.
And we really ought to forgive past sins. I didn't like Santorum endorsing Specter or Gingrich endorsing Scuzzafava (or however it is spelled) but at this point, so what?
Everybody here knows they did it. It shouldn't be said again as an attempt to disqualify them from our support.
Thank you.
Ping for later.

Does anyone really believe his minions are conservatives?
They are not. They are the same peaceniks that sleep in the streets in OWS. Kids who still live in Mom and Dad's basement who haven't shaved in days and smell of burned bud.
Those are Obama voters. Let Paul have all of them he can attract.
Start distributing Obama/Romney bumper stickers?
Exactly how I’ve been feeling. We need to stop attacking Newt and Santorum and let them attack Romney and see where it goes.
Let’s also start to attack Romney more. Get the word out about him and see if we can see if Newt or Santorum gets his votes...then we go with the one in the lead.
I have been guilty. I have been very guilty on the Perry thread. Well I am not doing it anymore. Your article is correct. I can go with Santorum, Newt, Perry. I am leaning towards a Newt/Santorum ticket because Santorum is young enough to be President in 8 years and after the two of them transforming our country, we will be in good shape for another 4-8 years of a Republican President. So if we go with this ticket it is possible that we have the Presidency until at least January 2029.
1. Gingrich
2. Perry
3. Santorum
I am certain that each one could make a good president and a great alternative to our present Marxist in chief, the main reason for my order is my own judgment of electability, executive experience, and the capacity to lay out a conservative vision and convince others of his ability to govern. Each has flaws and weaknesses, in the past I've accentuated Perry's weaknesses, but still have him in second and would be thrilled if he were to overcome what has happened. If Santorum can weather his rise in the polls and overcome some of his perceived weaknesses I could easily bump him up in my order.
We are going to have to watch and listen carefully as the next two or three weeks go by to see which of these three has the best chance to become the favorite of conservatives. How they handle themselves in the next debates, how they work their organizations to get their message out will be critical in them proving to us who to pick. Their ability to paint a vision for us to want to join them will be extremely important in which one of them we back. I believe the one who will rise to the top in the next few weeks will be fairly obvious, and we will need to decide or we will be in a world of hurt, electing Romney in our short sightedness.
It is important that we consolidate behind one of them by the time of the South Carolina primary, but from now until then we need to accentuate Romney's negatives and attempt to educate our fellow voters about who he is. One thing is certain, we need to participate in taking Romney out, he is the last one we should consider as the GOP nominee. As we watch and decide which of these last three will be our choice, holding fire on the weaknesses of our preferred candidate would be smart; it would be far better if we accentuate the positives of these three (the one we prefer), at the same time as we dwell on the negatives of Romney.
If people know which PACs we can contribute to that will run negative ads against Romney in all states, please give us links on how to donate. If anyone knows how to begin such a PAC, or if there is time to begin one, please give us information on how to do so.
Who’s attacking Santorum (here, anyway?)
What was Grant’s flaw?
The term you used brings to mind something I’d hear in an elementary school playground, but I do like and support him. That’s besides the point though, I was just responding to your claim that his support is not real.
We're getting low on testosterone. Better get some on order.........
Name one thing Romney would do different than Zero.
We’ll be waiting....
Gingrich/Cain 2012
I am 100% behind Newt Gingrich. He is the true fiscal conservative and I believe he will turn this country around and undue a tremendous ammount of damage by the Obama admin. He said he would begin dismatling 40% of the O admin in his first day. Newt has a proven record as Speaker of the House. Not only the republican revolution and contract but even before then..he bucked Bush 41 on the tax hikes. What baggage? personal? that is in the past and between him and God. Freddie Mac? he was a consultant that owned 3 businesses in 3 states. He had a staff of 30 or so and the money for his advice was paid over years. It truly was chump change compared to what many private consultants make..ask Rove what he made or Carville. The multi million dollar smear ads run by Romney and Pauls super pacs were lies. Shame the voters of Iowa believed them. Newt is our hope. The establishment fears him...they want Romney or else. It doesnt matter if Perry, Santorum or Huntsman go UP in the polls...the media will bring out baggage on everyone of them you never knew existed.
Thomas Sowell, Commander of Blak Hawk Down, Michael Reagan, the SC majority leader all back Newt. They are the creme de la creme of conservatives and they know a good man. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEWT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am NOT promoting Myth Rotten. I am promoting an (R) in the WH. Any (R) in the WH is better than any (D) in the WH, most especially 0bama.
Your stats aren’t exactly correct. For Presidents with less than 50% approval, the loss averages 34 seats. For those above 50% the average is 14 seats. GW was 63 approval and had a gain of 6 in 02, and a 38 with a loss of 30 in 06, for example.
This election, more than any other in my 59 years, exemplifies why the makeup of Congress is so very important.
Affirmative...no way Romney! I can handle voting for any of the the other candidates (not Paul). I am also hoping (praying) an unannounced candidate will swoop in soon...
