Ron Paul Defends Romney, Lashes Out at His Critics

Well if everyone didn't know it, they know it now. Ron Paul is in the race to help Willard the liberal win the nomination. One liberal helping another. Could there a cabinet for the old man in a Willard the liberal admintration. Never in his history of running has Paul ever attacked the opposition like he does now. He's lost whatever integrity he ever had. In the past he has teamed up and worked closely with Dennis Kucinish, the most anti-war code pink liberal in Congress. He's also a good friend of Cynthia McKinney, the 911 truther. Maybe Willard has a place for all three of them if makes it to the White House.

"In an exclusive interview outside a Manchester polling place, Ron Paul lashed out at fellow Republicans for making unfair and ignorant attacks on Mitt Romney’s business record"

As usual, those remarks by Paul are meaningless since he absolutely REFUSES to DO ANYTHING to save the babies on a federal level while hiding behind the 10th Amendment which is widely ignored except to protect sexual perversion posing as "marriage" and baby-killing. Considering that abortion was crammed down America's collective throat by the SCOTUS (a federal court) whose opinions ostensibly govern all state courts as well as inferior federal courts, Paul's chosen evasion of telling pro-lifers to work to enact pro-life legislation, state by state, is not going to work. The federal and state courts will strike down such legislation while genuflecting before the late Herod Blackmun (no doubt eternally roasting under atan's supervision) and the Supremes (dead or alive who support abortion. Planned Barrenhood or its stooges usually get state or federal injunctions against any remotely useful state legislation in about 30 minutes after passage.

The pro-life issue as affected by Paul's evasive conduct and dishonest strategy and moonbat theory that mere state legislation could or ever would suffice is simply the political version of the old shell game or three card monte.

The federal courts and, ultimately, the SCOTUS will similarly cram rump-ranging down our collective throats on a national basis (concededly none of their business given the wording of the Tenth Amendment but that won't stop them) and Paul will stand idly by saying that state legislatures should really deal with the issue one way or another. Of course, the libertarian position is that Adam and Steve make a pretty spiffy couple and should enjoy the court-mandated benefit of unholy "marriage" since the "love that" once "dared not speak its name is now all the rage among the trendies who make up Paul's college cadres. So, on marriage, as on abortion, it is wink, wink to the college leftist radicals who adore him as he poses for fraudulent holy pictures on those subjects or he believes his own rhetoric and is therefore just totally insane.

I know that I am one conservative who will never vote for Paul any more than I would vote for Romney or Huntsman or Obozo. In my misspent youth, I was a state officer of the Libertarian Party. Then I grew up.

Has anyone asked Romney how he would apply his ‘free market capitalist’ philosphy to the Federal Government?

i.e. would he fire all the unnecessary Federal employees and close agencies that have no Constitutional function?

Would he audit the Government for waste, fraud abuse and fire those responsible?

or

Would he confiscate private companies (insurance companies)and their assets?

As it happens Ron Paul is 100% correct here.

Perhaps after South Carolina it would be time for Gingrich and Santorum to review the situation and go forward as a team for the nomination (one as pres, one as vice-pres).

This seems like the only way to overcome Romney and deliver a reasonably conservative candidate to the convention.

An alternate strategy would be for one of the two to drop out entirely and back the other. But it can wait until at least South Carolina to test the waters.

When I was a young man back in the 50’s where was no abortion in the country. If you wanted an abortion you had to go to Sweden as I recall. I don’t think we have amended the Constitution to allow abortion so I don’t think we need to amend it to stop them.

joe212:

Neither Ron Paul nor the Mittwit need ever delude themselves that there is ANY circumstance, including nomination, that will ever make either of them the choice of actual conservatives.

If destroying the Mittwit's brazen campaign to buy and bully his way to the GOP nomination with 25% of voters, the lamestream media, a dishonest claim of "inevitability" and a pack of Rockefellerite lies, destroy the GOP brand, make the GOP no better on guns, babies, and marriages than the Demonrats in order to single-mindedly worship at the altar of job killing "free trade" and maximum profits for his fellow trust fund babies and job killing pals, then Newt will have performed a noble task. If he tries and fails, he is still honorable. If he gets Santorum nominated and the Mittwit rejected, then he will deserve a place in a GOP Hall of Fame for that alone and a very high place at that.

Gentlemen, start your engines! BANZAI!!!

Paul's chosen evasion of telling pro-lifers to work to enact pro-life legislation, state by state, is not going to work.

Don't forget that the unspoken corollary of Paul's philosophy is that under the false "states' rights" approach the states are perfectly welcome to make whatever laws they want to protect and promote abortion.

Paul may claim to be pro-life, but the truth is that he is pro-choice-by-state.

I was also a young man in the 1950's and that was when the Arizona children's show host (!!!) Sherri Finkbein flew to Sweden to kill her baby. It is true that the constitution has not been amended to allow abortion. It is NOT true that amendment has not been necessitated to stop abortion.

If you disagree, show me your or Paul's PRACTICAL plan to actually end abortion and not merely be philosopher king wannabes.

I spent twenty-five years fighting abortion in the courts as an attorney and defending those arrested for doing what the government refuses to do: entering the abortion mills, occupying the killing rooms, de-sterilizing the instruments; pouring raw eggs into the suction machines and generally putting the mills affected out of business for a week or two. If the police were particularly determined, they sometimes did structural damage to the mills to break into the locked rooms to get at the pro-lifers. That would put a mill out of business for a month or so. Arrested pro-lifers could be out of jail before the mill re-opened. Planned Barrenhood's Alan Guttmacher Foundation claims that 1 out of 3 babies scheduled to be murdered on "rescue" days at the mills were never subsequently murdered in utero.

Absolutely! So long as abortions are permitted in Vermont, Taxachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, DC, Maryland, California (LA and San Fransicko and most points in between), Hawaii, Illanoy (Chicago) and a number of other locations, abortion will be the premeditated child murder that anyone can drive to or fly to, so long as airliners fly.

The "state's rights" approach guarantees the endless continuation of most of a status quo that has produced 50+ million sliced, diced and hamburgerized innocents to date and counting. (Have either of you a current documented number of the total dead babies since Herod Blackmun's Roe vs. Wade?)

Paul and others like him just tell us a bit of what we want to hear and we are supposed to be gullible enough to be mollified and pacified.

BTW, to both of you: Thanks for all the wonderful work you do here. May God bless you and yours now and forever!

You are correct, states that would allow abortion under the abortion-by-state approach account for well over 90% of the abortions performed now. Everyone in America would be within a day's drive of an abortuary. In short, Paul's approach would not save a single life.

This GOP race is getting weirder by the minute...

Put that together with the news story of the Democrat party losing members.

Are they organizing cross-over voters for both open- and closed- primary states?

It’s like a hellish nightmare that these two duplicitous NON-CONSERVATIVES seem to be forced upon us against our will. Who is pushing them?

If not for the kamikaze on Gingrich, flat-out LIES on the negative ads from Romney’s stooges in Iowa, Newt Gingrich would be the favorite for the nomination. The lowlife liberal Romney knew the ad was a fabricated pack of lies and went right ahead with it day after day after day.

That's a simple answer, that seem to be repeated in media, except it is not a complete answer. Gingrich had a lead nationally, but became a target of every single candidate in the last set of debates of 2011. Gingrich could not handle scrutiny on stage with grace - which is certainly a liability for the general election.

Thas is what popped his baloon. His strength as a debater evaporated. 99% of the US population (outside Iowa) never got to see any of the anti-Gingrich attack ads. Yet he dropped with the people who never got to see the ads almost as quickly as with people of Iowa. All as a result of the debates where Gingrich was the target.

I live in SC and the negative ads on Gingrich started down here just about the same time they started in Iowa. Also started in Florida. Money is the name of the game in
politics and Willard is buying the nomination. He loses
big time to the Obama.
