I would be willing to bet the farm, ranch, house, and cars that Romney will be nominated on the first ballot with the Ron Paul Nutters relegated to being the non factors they are.

Oh I am sure CNN and MSNBC will give interviews to the craziest delegates there to make the Republican party look like idiots so that might get the few dissenters some air time!

LOL! I'm just following a news story Si,Se Uno. You're the one with your boxers in a wad.

Rand told Hannity, tonight, that he had supported his dad for 11 years and was now supporting Romney. I know they haven't always agreed. I'm thinking that Paul's supporters want more than, maybe, Ron Paul wants. We will see what they did in Texas and if they are continuing on course for Tampa.

I have a friend who is convinced the Bilderberg Group is the Illuminati and that they run the entire world.

A couple of people in this thread make me think perhaps he posts here secretly. LOL.

Let me guess, 9/11 was an inside job too right?

Actually, I think that the information would have leaked out if 9-11 were an inside job. It was too big of a job to keep quiet. I simply believe we had never been attacked in that manner and were not prepared much like what happened at Pearl Harbor.

You have to find it interesting that Ron Paul's supporters are large and organized enough to take delegates from Mitt's own home state and 11 others. At least someone is for smaller government and will come enmass to try and change that. I wasn't really aware that they were this organized. It's pretty impression if not anything else. You have to give that man, at his age, some kudos for pounding along like he has.

The internet allows for the connection and organization of many people that would not have been able to connect without it. That is both a good thing in some cases and a terrible thing in other cases.

When it comes to conspiracy nuts and Ron Paul fans...I think it is a bad thing. The net allows for completely unchecked propaganda and the great thing about conspiracy folks is that all you need is a dab of doubt and they get to fill in all the details with whatever their heart desires.

I don't agree with Libertarianism on the social issues, such as, legalizing pot. I do believe it's a gateway drug.

I do agree with them on the smaller government aspect. The GOP certainly is not fighting for that.

Anyway, after studying this and going through the news updates, I'm coming to think that Michael Steele did believe, in the beginning that we would have a Brokered Convention, but as time progressed, the GOP put the skids on it. Not saying that the Paul Revolution may not prevail, but I think they would rather make a case for smaller government than for Paul to win.

Anyway, I'm not against any group that fights for our Constitution and that, mainly, was Ron Paul's mission. I do respect him for it.

We will see how many delegates they were able to pick up in Texas.

So you must be for unfettered mainstream media propaganda, of which mainstream media freely admits to their propaganda on the american people.

Sheesh....some people are duped by anything shown on the boob tube.

PO,

So are you surprised that Rand Paul has endorsed Romney? As I have mentioned before I think you are going to be sorely disappointed by the amount of unity within the Republican party and at the convention. We have too important a common goal (keeping the Socialist In Chief from a second term) to spend time fighting among ourselves.

Of course, I heard that they had met and talked. I'm not sure I was surprised as much as wondering how he thought he was not going to tick off the Paul supporters. Because they are ticked. This is what they are advising - "You should vote for Obama in a swing state. The reason is we cannot allow the GOP to lock-step behind a president romney, it will undo our efforts in the GOP even more than rand's endorsement has done. In a blue state, vote Johnson."

Anyway, I was out and about running errands today. I heard Chris Wallace say that even if Romney wins the next 6 states, he will still come up short and only receive 260 of the electoral votes. He needs 270 He didn't elaborate much, just put out the hot point.

PO - maybe, just maybe, Rand knows more is about the importance of this election and sees that the re-election of BHO will make it immensely difficult to get America back on track.
So maybe, Rand is more of an American patriot than those who oppose Romney because he is not conservative enough.

Charles Krauthammer on Rubio accepting VP position: "If Rubio passes the vetting process, assuming he does, I think he's the obvious choice. And if he says he doesn’t want the office, he'll find a horse's head in his bed. The next day he will accept. Romney's not going to take no for an answer. We have ways, we Republicans."

Don't underestimate the power of the visit or the phone call.
