Ron Paul Winning Delegates With Santorum Support C
 
Ron Paul Winning Delegates With Santorum Support Coalition

"With the suspension of Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign, mainline Republicans immediately began reporting that the race was over, and that Mitt Romney was the GOP nominee for the presidency. But Romney supporters may have started celebrating prematurely. If recent events are any indication, Ron Paul is a dangerous competitor."

He will still lose. It's over. Romney's the guy. Not that I'm super pro-Romney. But as Joe Friday always liked to say, these are "just the facts".

I suppose we'll see. It's not over 'til the polls close on election night; there's no telling what lies ahead.

I'm just glad to see the Paul momentum building, as much as the media and their followers refuse to admit it...

Ron Paul as the candidate would be the biggest trainwreck of stupidity ever possibly. Worse than Dukakis.

It would guarantee the re-election of Obama and possibly the long term disenfranchisement of GOP voters.

So, cutting the deficit by a trillion dollars to start with is insanity instead of a good idea?

So, cutting military spending by withdrawing troops from overseas and ending wars that have been going on for 10 years or more is insanity instead of a good idea?

So, getting the government out of our homes and businesses is insanity instead of a good idea?

You've left me with no other choice but to believe that's what you're saying...

I was talking to someone a couple of days ago who was in Colorado and said that Paul has a lot of boots on the ground and they are getting delegates in place. Massive organization. We already knew months ago that that was the strategy. Word was that Paul wasn't sweating the small stuff because they had this plan and people in place and ready from the get go.

Another friend was with Newt today. He said that Mitt is the media's candidate and that we need to keep praying. They had a wonderful time with him today. Wish I could have been there.

Either candidate is fine with me. Anyone but Mitt.

On Sat. I will be at congressional district meetings and will vote on delegates to send to the RNC. At this point it would still take a whole lot of persuading to get my vote to go toward Paul over Romney. "Pollsters" have been calling to find out which way I'll vote if there is a Romney slate and an "alternative slate"...

It is crazy. Romney teamed with Paul to take away from Santorum at the county caucuses just a few weeks ago... now it might bite them.

WHAT AN OUTRAGE! ROMNEY AND FOX ARE HIJACKING OUR VOTES!!! I'd like to know what separates Romney from the bullying
tactics the Democrats use. He's behaving like an arrogant bully. NEWT IS
STILL IN THE RACE. Perhaps, someone should fill him in, along with the
mainstream media mongers, which have been predominantly bought out by no other than Bain Capital/Romney himself. STOP making the news and report it instead. They are steamrolling the voice of the public and have sold out the average American citizen for a price. Money might buy Romney delegates, media coverage, and inside-the-beltway support, but it can't buy him love, and "WE THE PEOPLE" WANT TO AND WILL BE HEARD: HE CAN'T BUY OUR LOVE OR OUR VOTES!

Go ahead. Show America what a cut throat jerk you are. This is not your election, Gov Romney, it is OUR election. I will be cheering you on as your poll numbers drop when people hear of this.

There are still 19 states that have not voted yet and WE THE PEOPLE will not let you act as King and Dictator and STEAL our primary, we have one of those in the White House already and we don't need another one...you sir will have to wait until WE THE PEOPLE have decided who we want to represent us in this contest against Mr Obama...are you afraid we might not choose you?

You continue to dream, PO!!! Ron Paul is not equipped to be the POTUS, he is having the time of his life campaigning and the returning to his secure seat in the congress.

I would love to have a perfect candidate that could do all the things that we all desire, however he/she doesn't exist in this world. Mitt is the best available, with any hope of being elected.

Ron and Newt are pipe dreams, not that good of candidates, plus neither has had any possibility of election.

Mitt has had to play politics to get elected, but I believe he is a man of character, that will rise to the top when elected. His conservative, Mormon faith will serve the country well, because it contains many of the values that are common among conservatives.

I hate the negatives of political campaigns, but unfortunate it is the nature of the beast in our culture.

Newt Gingrich: “It’s interesting, in Colorado this weekend, the delegates chosen were 13 for Romney and 23 not for Romney, and I don’t think any of the national news media picked it up yet. The inevitability train didn’t seem to get across the Rockies. I’m campaigning here, I’m campaigning in North Carolina, in Delaware, in Pennsylvania, tomorrow, I’ll be in New York for two days this week. I think we still have the right to have the last conservative standing, and make the case for conservatism.”

I will refrain from itemizing Newt or Ron's faults. What of Obama's lies, they are effecting our nation at the roots, hopefully Mitt's are political rhetoric.

You can say Romney is not like Obama, but he is.
Quote:

RUSH: Daniel Henninger said Mitt Romney is not naturally conservative. He's going to have to be nudged in that direction. That's true. It's not a particularly unique point, but still true. Now on Sunday night Romney was here in Palm Beach for a big fundraiser. Word has leaked out about some of the things that he said to the donors. These are things that he's not said publicly in terms of specifics on policy, and one of the things that he talked about was a tax plan. He wants to lower rates but eliminate some deductions for the rich. And I have to tell you, folks, I'm not comfortable with the Republican nominee talking about special plans for "the rich," special plans for "Hispanics."

That was part of it, too. He was saying we're gonna have to do some special outreach for Hispanics, special outreach for women. No, we don't. Not as conservatives. We don't have to have special policies for this group and that group or special whatever. One of the tax ideas was to eliminate... Now, get this: Eliminate the mortgage deductibility on second homes. Now, that's populism. We're talking an amount of money that's no different than the Buffett Rule. It's a shame. His capital gains idea is also a little curious, because it, too, is targeting "the rich," anybody making over $200,000 jointly and introduces progressivity into the tax which seems fair or what have you.

These are not the things that a Republican, much less a conservative nominee, needs to be talking about or saying. This is Rockefeller Republicanism. This is identity politics. It's the kind of stuff that the left talks about.

On Romney's environmental record, he hired Douglas Foy (Obama's economic adviser) one of the state's most prominent environmentalist activists and put him in charge of four state agencies. Foy stood by Romney's side in 2003 at a coal plant to show his support of emission caps. Romney then implemented job-killing carbon caps - the first and only state to set CO2 emissions limits on power plants - even though studies showed that Australia's proposed carbon tax would have skyrocketing costs and blackouts.

Obama's plan: "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket.

Of course, we have RomneyCare and Obamacare. Any "mandate" would be an intrusion of liberty at the Federal as well as state level.

Romney supported the TARP bailouts in 2008 as did Obama saying, "Step up and do the right thing."

Romney is not in style nor substance a natural conservative. He may be conservative enough to be the nominee, but he is more like Obama. Obama being awkward in his "aloofness" and Romeny more graceful in his.

I had that very attitude that you display here. I'm on record for it, like you are here.

However, something interesting happened during the SC debate. When John King was questioning Gingrich about the Marianne interview, Gingrich pointed out to the audience and said, “Every person in here knows personal pain. Every person in here has had someone close to them go through painful things."

When I was listening, I was thinking, "I was wrong about him." I realized that Christianity didn't have a better record itself, how could I judge Gingrich, who has repented? The Christian church has the same statistics on divorce as the secular world. Who was I to judge?

And I would note that Marianne was Gingrich's "24-year old" Geometry teacher. Gingrich was "16". Today, that woman would be in jail. If he never makes it to the WH, I am grateful he has found peace in his life with Callista, who has never been married before.

“There were things in my life that I have been very public about saying were, in fact, well short of the glory of God and I had to go to God to seek forgiveness. I never went to God to seek understanding. And I was never confused. That is, there are periods of my life where I have sinned.”

“I come to you as a citizen who has sought redemption and has sought God's love and recognizes that you have to shelter under the cross to have any hope of living a full life."

You cast the first stone, Deacon. I put mine down.

Re: Ron Paul Winning Delegates With Santorum Suppo
 
Another example of Romney's leftist views and propaganda:

Quote:

Newt Gingrich released the following statement opposing Governor Romney’s plan to limit home mortgage tax deductions based on income level and affirming his belief in a tax code that treats every American equally under the law:

“Governor Romney’s proposal to limit certain tax deductions based on income, including the deduction for mortgage interest on second homes, is a surrender to the class warfare rhetoric of the Left.

“Conservatives believe in the classical American definition of fairness – that every American be treated equally under the law. That principle of equal treatment must apply to Americans of every income level just as it must apply to Americans of every race, color and creed.

“Governor Romney’s tax proposal violates that principle by giving politicians the power to carve out exceptions in the law for people of certain incomes. Furthermore, it sets the stage for future tax increases, as politicians will continually try to decrease the income threshold where citizens will no longer be able to avail themselves of the deductions."

My proposal for an optional 15% flat tax treats all Americans equally and allows them to either keep the current deductions and all the paperwork or move to a very simple system of equal treatment for all Americans with a one page form."
