The Real Delegate Count - it's not over

[CC1]

I am "afraid" of Ron Paul but not because he has any chance of getting the nomination. I am afraid of him because he is a nut.

Ron Paul is the two year old standing in the hallway with his hands covering his eyes hollaring out "na,na,na,na,na," believing that if he can't see or hear the rest of the world they can't see or hear him.

After having met him in person, it would be very hard to say anything bad about him. He's a perfect gentlemen, I can tell you that.

And having grown up with his last opponent in the Republican primary, I can tell you that he is a little loopy in some of his views.
Just ask Chris Peden...

I can see him being a gentleman in person. 90% of the time he comes across as lucid and very articulate on the stump. It is just that 10% of the time when his views are genuine fringe nutter stuff that he scares me.

Anybody who can look at a TV camera and claim Iran is not working on obtaining a nuclear weapon is scary.

Well, just remember, my friend - your dislike for Paul is not any different than mine for Romney. So, we better call a truce.

It would be nice if we could force some substantial commitments, from Romney, prior to the election. We need to play hard ball.

I won't blindly commit myself to him. If we don't press the issue prior to the election, he will have no incentive to move our direction after the election.

If he doesn't majorly mess up his first term, he will more than likely be the nominee in 2016. Conservatives would then be bound to “support the nominee” yet again. Running as a conservative president, and governing like a liberal can do major damage to the party.

So, again, I agree with Mark Levin, "We are going to have to work really hard to drag Romney to the right." He's making informed conservatives uncomfortable with his liberal appointments.

"Mark Levin is now insisting that Romney reveal his plans on how he wants to replace Obamacare and fix the other entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare, etc. He understand that there may be strategic reasons for keeping it quiet, but considering the fact that Romney is making some very liberal appointments to his team including his transition team appointment Mike Leavitt, a guy who has been pushing for health care exchanges in the states, Levin feels its high time for Romney to explain to the American people what we should expect from a Romney presidency in terms of repealing/replacing Obamacare and reforming these other entitlement programs."

PO under no circumstance do I want another four years with BO.

I personally do not believe he is even an American citizen, he was not raised with American beliefs,

He has brought America down further than you could imagine and another four years and we could lose all our rights,

You have the American right to vote however you deem necessary.

But, remember, you still have another set of people who will not vote for Obama or Obamalite. It's what it is. He can probably win without our votes.

However, this is what I am looking at - a comment by Pat Buchanan which rings with much truth - "Does the Romney Republican Party have the courage of its convictions -- to carry out a fiscal program consistent with its conservative philosophy? For when, ever, has the modern GOP done that? "

And I've read so many foolish comments like this one - "Mitt will slow down the train."

LOL! Well, with a little logic, you can see that a fast and a slow train reach the same destination. So, if two trains are on their way to the ovens at Auschwitz, a slow train is going to delay you, but you will eventually get there. Why get on the dang thing in the first place?

Sorry, I refuse to cooperate. Do it right or don't do it at all is my motto. Don't give me a supposed moderate and pass him off as a conservative. Anyway, as I've said before, because of how he ran this campaign, I wouldn't care if he gave every person in America a job, I would still vote against him. Give me liberty or give me death. Just sayin'...

Back on topic, I actually don't think that Paul will bring a Brokered Convention, but it would be cool if he did, the story is fun and interesting to follow. And it's not that he would win, but that someone else would step up and be voted in. You know that is how Abraham Lincoln was elected - by a Brokered Convention.

Aside from updates on how many delegates Paul is picking up, I don't see any point in going back and forth on the subject of electing Mitt. No one has given me anything substantial to change my mind.

I hate to admit it but I am unfamiliar with what a brokered convention even means.

Ron Paul would not be my first pick, but I like him better than Romney.

But as I stated before I am not voting for Romney I am voting against BO!
