He declined. "It wouldn't be my speech," Mr. Paul said. "That would undo everything I've done in the last 30 years. I don't fully endorse him for president." Paul supports will be hearded to the polls and totally support Big Government Romney anyway. Who they think they fooling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who they think they fooling? I rarely respond to you because you are either a blithering idiot, a blind zealot, or a troll, but I'm bored, so !@#$ it. What is your point? That it is somehow absurd or hypocritical for Paul supporters, who want small government, to support Mitt Romney, who supports a far bigger government than they prefer, when the alternative is Obama who, by his own admission wants even bigger government than Romney does? Is that really your point, or was there something not retarded you were getting at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dayman Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) Paul being on his way out decided wisely that even though they get knocked around, the lasting legacy of his movement has a better chance succeeding if it infiltrates rather than if it breaks off. Nothing to be ashamed about there, politics are politics. Edited August 27, 2012 by TheNewBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakeYouToTasker Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Like I said, the Republican Party is a private entity, and will handle these matters internally. What Ron Paul has done is force a conversation that will ultimately either destroy the party and force something new to rise from the ashes, which would be a victory for America; or force a major change in American politics, which would be a victory for America. Looking at the way things developed in the platform construction phase, I'm betting big dollars on the latter. This individual convention doesn't matter; it's what happens going forward that will decide the course of American history.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Republican infighting. Ron Paul delegates cause ruckus on convention floor (AP) He might not be the Republican nominee, but Ron Paul certainly has loyal delegates. And they're here to make their voices heard—literally. The boisterous delegates caused somewhat of an altercation on the convention floor this Tuesday evening, a night that should belong to Mitt Romney. Whenever a state that had Paul delegates announced its vote, the counter on stage tallied only the delegates for Romney, a standard practice under the convention rules. Hundreds of Paul delegates struck back by shouting the number of Paul votes in unison from the floor and the rafters, a practice that irked Romney supporters. RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!!! Rules fight sparks drama at RNC - (CNN) Tampa, Florida – The Republican National Convention adopted two controversial rules on Tuesday. But a fight over their adoption threw a wrench in the convention's carefully scripted events: pitting the likes of Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann and grassroots activists on one side with Mitt Romney's campaign and establishment Republicans on the other. The days-long fight reached climax just hours after the Tuesday RNC session began, with supporters of the rules cheering their adoption and opponents booing against them. Moments before, some delegates even laid out angry – yet unsubstantiated – claims of meddling to keep some delegates away from a committee vote. Though the voices "for" and "against" sounded about the same, Boehner declared: "The ayes have it." :blush: more from the AP feed - could this be why? Mitt Romney accepts the Republican nomination for president this week with the lowest personal popularity of any major-party nominee in polls dating to Ronald Reagan's presidency, a difficulty for Romney that's persisted throughout this election cycle. Romney's favorability rating is the lowest of any major-party nominee at roughly the time of his convention in available data back to 1984; indeed he's the first, at this stage of the campaign, to be rated more unfavorably than favorably by a significant margin.
