I wonder how many who claim they won't vote for Romney really do want Barack Obama to be re-elected? The Paul supporters have to know that a vote for a third party candidate is effectively a vote for Obama. Could they just be too ashamed to admit that is the game plan to punish those who won't support Ron Paul?
And take us down as I'm sure Dr. Paul wouldn't want out of some mission of
vendetta...? [Get EVEN with 'em? I'll Show YOU]?
Boggles the mind the motivation. Take down the Republic, ruin millions of lives in the process, because someone didn't get thier way by being nominated?
I am waiting for Ron Paul to do the right thing and pledge support for Romney once Romney clinches the nomination. If Gingrich and Santorum fail to do so, it will be a clear message that neither of them were honest about much of anything.
I have a great deal of respect for Congressman Paul and have admired his tenaciousness in what he believes and have appreciated some excellent ideas he has put out there to reform the economy. CG can testify that she and I have had numerous private discussions re Romney whom she has supported for some time and who was not at all my first choice to be the nomineel. But no way am I willing to have a hissy fit and throw the country under the bus just because my preferred candidate(s) did not win the nomination.
I don't have any serious deal breaking issues with Romney and, as previously posted, given his proven record and accomplishments, he is heads and shoulders above a Barack Obama or any other leftist who aspires to high office. On his worst day, and in a most profound liberal lapse, he is still right of Obama.
So if Ron Paul throws his support to Romney, will his admirers follow suit?
