Who's Closer to GOP "Core Principles," Romney or Ron Paul?

[Vertnut]

Your entire reasoning for voting for Romney is because he's not obama. Let's say that both Romney and Paul had "an equal chance at winning." Who would you vote for, and why?

It's not a possible scenario, but I'd probably vote RP.

[matts5.0]

romney gets the nomination, paul voters wright him in or sit at home costing him the election. paul gets the nomination, paul supporters turn out in droves and all the romney supporters will vote him because of the magic r beside his name.

Won't happen. RP's nutty foreign policy would be THE topic in all the presidential debates, and it would not be pretty. I might can look past it, but the general public would not.

Don't piss off Vernut. I'll take the Paul vote at the end of the month and be happy... I'm pretty sure the energy would be better spent finding people who are not even going to go that far and are planning to vote for Romney in the primary.

Paul would have a better chance against Obama but you're too delusional to see it.

Paul stands to bring in a lot of swing votes from people that will not vote for Romney. Most of Romney's supporters would vote for Paul since he would have the nomination and the magical R next to his name which that seems to be enough for some people (like yourself).

Paul would not have a chance in hell against Obama, just like I don't think Romney does. I have already accepted we will have 4 more years of this potus, heaven help us all. The one reason I would never vote for Paul, is his foreign policy, or lack there of.

This is a pattern for some of the RP guys, and frankly, it turns people off.

I'm afraid we'll have President Biden.

I have been convinced for over 6 months that Romney got the nod from the GOP because he has the money to be able to afford to lose. They are gifting the re-election to Barry for two reasons:

1. The GOP does not want to wear the coming collapse around their necks. They want the Dems to own it 100% and then hold Barry fully accountable for what happened based on the additional debt, the birth certificate, the wiping of his ass with the constitution, etc. this isn't just getting a BJ in the oval office. They are piling a HUGE amount of shit onto his back...50X more than even Nixon. This will be a serious impeachment.

2. At that point, they impeach Obama, embarrass the party and they have Biden sitting as POTUS cowaring to the GOP because the Dem way of doing things caused the collapse. Behner is sitting as VP and presiding over the senate while he is replaced at Speaker of the house. Now you have GOP power over both houses regardless of body count and they start playing america to "rebuild".

All of this is worthless because they are all still crooks. The wild card and the complete unknown is just how many registered voters have had enough. It might not be this election but 2016 could see a 3rd party rise after the shit hits the fan in the coming 4 or 5 years as the "house of cards" comes crashing down.

Just my $0.02 and I have to say....I want this to happen so the myriad of dumbasses in the country wake the fuck up and get rid of the hippies and libtards that are killing it.

Not to mention how they played Paul on his 'supporting selling heroin' at the state level

Very interesting take. I can see some truth to it.

I was thinking the same. Shows a lot of insight and implies a lot of forward thinking and a belief that the dems won't still spin it to a republican failure

[bcoop]

and a belief that the dems won't still spin it to a republican failure

Oh they will try. Doesn't mean it will be successful, but they are going to die trying.


I like aggie's stance on this, but I think that is giving all involved far too much credit. I don't think any of them are smart enough to scheme that up, or pulpit off.

I ain't that smart and if I can see it, the con men in dc surely have thought about it.

To think that ANYONE can turn this sinking ship around is pure day dreaming.

[Tyron Shulaces]

i'm trying not to insult you here, but if you'd pull your head out of your ass and actually speak with your friends about voting for rp, he'll have a damn good shot. If you keep telling your friends "vote for romney because rp has no chance" then they may well do that, solely because "anyone but obama." i'm not saying you've got to go out and campaign for the guy, but when it comes up, tell your friends that you will be voting for paul because that's who you want to lead the country, not that you're voting for romney because he's got a better hairdo or whatever.

wrong.

[Sgt Beavis]

They are:

1) Personal Responsibility
2) Free Markets
3) Limited Government
4) Fiscal Responsibility

The GOP can no longer rightfully claim those to be their principals.
