...which is why someone like Ron Paul (or someone with nearly similar ideas) needs to be elected, as well as a Congress and Senate who will support someone like him...

The two-party back-and-forth fingerpointing non-sense won't impress or pursuade an independent like myself to vote for whoever the media/sheeple push. America is in a sad state now and will be until the "jacks" and the "fats" can get their act together...

Unfortunately an "outsider" can't seem to get traction because the Parties don't want to mess with the status quo. Or so it seems.

Mr. Romney, Welcome to the Gun Show

ST. LOUIS–Mitt Romney came to the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting and managed to utter the word “gun” only once.

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2012/0...show/?mod=e2tw
Read this on Twitter:

"Isn't Romney speaking at the NRA kinda like PETA speaking at a Rodeo?"



And this:

"Romney, '94: "I don't line up with the NRA." Romney, '12: Headlining NRA convention"

"Question for @mittromney at the #nraam do you regret signing a permanent assault rifle ban in Massachusetts?"

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?

Ron Paul has great economic ideas. He loses me on his foreign policy. I agree we shouldn't police the world, but when he says Iran has a right to nuclear weapons, he loses me.

Did I mention Paul loses me?

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?

Thank you, Mark Levin!!!!! Finally someone addresses the bogus issue of Newt's ethic violations that Romney and his lapdog, Chris Christie, are barking about. Check your facts boys - lying doesn't unify the party.

Mark Levin educates Chris Christie, Romney on Newt Gingrich 'ethics violations'

Romney Delaware Endorser Switches His Support to Gingrich
April 20, 2012

Newt 2012 announced today that Hans Reigle, Chairman of the Kent County Republican Party, is switching his support from Mitt Romney to Newt Gingrich.

“I previously endorsed Governor Romney, but since then Newt is the only candidate who has shown a willingness to meet and talk with Delaware voters for more than hour,” said Hans Reigle.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?

Why the RNC Fired Michael Steele

"In August of 2010, Steele implemented a new set of rules governing how the party elects its nominee for the November Presidential general election. Rather than have a handful of liberal states plus South Carolina (for the misguided appearance of fairness) determine the nominee before the overwhelming majority of the country even gets to vote, Steele spread out the calender, implementing penalties for states that broke the rules and held their contests prior to Super Tuesday."

"The penalty for doing so would entail the loss of 50% of a state’s total delegates plus the proportional distribution of those delegates rather than a winner-take-all vote. This enabled states that actually vote Republican in the general election to play a role in determining who the party’s nominee would be. Hence the RNC’s fury and the reason they angrily replaced Steele with the relatively obscure Reince Preibus."
