IF Romney is the nominee Ron Paul goes 3rd party and the messiah is a shoe-in.
Forget Paul or the GOP. If this scenario plays out in one form or the other it is time for a REAL 3rd party that splits the GOP making IT the rump 3rd party and eventually it`s members join the democrat party.
THEN real change will happen when the democrats destroy the economy and the NEW REAL Classical Liberal party enjoys a super-majority to dismantle the socialist statist empire.
Time will tell who the true conservative will be. The point is to vote for a true conservative in the Primary first, so we will have a true conservative to vote for in the General Election in November, 2012.
