If we ever elect a moron like Ron Paul President then we are doomed even more than with a Socialist Obama.

RP does not live in the real world. About 85% of what he says is fine and he is very articulate saying it. The problem is the other 15% that is pie in the sky dreaming at best and naive at worst.

And that is why I did not join RP voters today at the congressional district caucus. That 15% contains some very risky ideas.

It took multiple votes, but the Santorum/Romney alliance won our Missouri district. I was surprised actually - because there was still another Santorum slate with diehard holdouts. It remains to be seen what happens at our State convention RP supporters managed to get about half of our county caucuses last month.

Activists won't sign pledge for Romney

But reception guests apparently needed to first sign a pledge promising to support Romney as a delegate to the GOP’s national convention. CNN reported that the Iowans refused to sign and “the dispute became heated.”

In the lastest Rasmussen tracking poll, which has had no media coverage, Newt Gingrich is trailing Barack Obama by only 7 points nationally. Barack Obama is leading Mitt Romney by only 5 points in Florida.

These poll results are being withheld by the RNC and the MSM, who want no positive news about Newt in circulation, especially the fact he is only behind Obama by 7 points nationally.

He should have already sealed this deal a long time ago.

Mitt Romney’s challenge: Convincing GOP he can win


Poll after poll indicates the presidential campaign is a dead heat, but you wouldn’t know it from talking to many Republican professionals. If you gave them truth serum, they would tell you they think Mitt Romney will lose.

But under the table, there is pervasive pessimism among Republicans about Romney’s prospects this fall. It’s apparent in rampant discussions about which Republicans will run in 2016 - talk that obviously presupposes a loss in November - and it’s downright glaring in private conversations with GOP officials on Capitol Hill and in consulting shops across Washington.

In the past you’ve said he’s changed positions only once, on abortion. Was that your doing?

No, no, I never talked to Mitt about that. Our personal opinions have never changed; we’ve always been pro-life.

Critics ding Mitt Romney for lack of transparency on tax returns

"You’d think that somewhere along the way, someone would have explained to him that it was better to pay a few extra bucks to the IRS and clean up his return for public consumption by forgoing some deductions and credits, rather than having to explain a Swiss bank account and tacky-looking tax credits," Sloan added."

Etch-A-Sketch Romney

The Romney pivot is underway

...Romney had not even been asked about the student loan push — yet he deliberately went out of his way to clarify his support for the extension, anyway.

This would seem to put Romney at odds with Congressional Republicans.

Romney laid down a harder line against government help for student loans during the primary. In March, a high school senior from Ohio asked Romney at a town hall meeting what he would do to help students pay for college. Romney replied: “It would be popular for me to stand up and say I’m going to give you government money to pay for your college, but I’m not going to promise that...don’t expect the government to forgive the debt that you take on.”
