Romney reminds me of the old Tina Turner song -- private dancer. He's your private dancer, a dancer for money, do what you want him to do -- he's your private dancer, a dancer for money and any old music will do.

That should really be his campaign song.

More and more people are seeing Dr. Paul's message rings true and has been true for decades.
They are understanding the fascist big government one world order problem, we face today. The very people that want him silenced. The truth has no lies. There is no scandal, there is no corruption. THERE IS THE CONSTITUTION!

Sanatorium is all they have left its more likely they know its MITT they just want to pretend they are giving ACTUAL conservatives and smalll government republicans a "choice"
You know it will be Mitt, Mitt, Mitt and as they go thru close to the primaries it will be cain, perry, newt just someone long enough to get them to the primaries so Mitt can move Floridia up in case he loses IOWA. After all FL will be considered important then any other state because Mitt won it :-) lol

If these people made their plans anymore clear a first grade would know what is going on.

Correct, he is not Romney, Romney will get the GOP Nomination, Paul will not, simple as that.

It is your only hope to keep the Progressive agenda moving ahead.

Only Progressives who will vote Obama in the General, are rooting for Romney, because they themselves know Obama's days are numbered and Romney is easily bought off.

Exactly, the fact that he/she dislikes Paul so much and speaks so vehemently against him over all the other GOP candidates is because in truth he/she knows that Paul is the only real threat to the status quo he/she so cherishes.

All the bourgeoisie in this country hate him for the same reasons, because he represents peace and freedom and prosperity and safety for the American people ...

No question that the R field is a train wreck now. We've got green-job supporting gun-banning, ObamaCare inventor Mitt Romney as the front-runner. We've got Cain & Perry stumbling from one gaffe to the next. And in 2nd place now (maybe winning Iowa) we've got 'Gingrich the liberal' as Wapo columnist Jennifer Rubin rightly (pun intended) calls him today
Gingrich: The phony intellectual - Right Turn - The Washington Post

We've been through 3 'not Romneys' now--Perry, then Cain, and now Gingrich. Is it possible that Ron Paul could make a move? I look down the list, and I don't see anyone else. He's stilll at around 8-9 percent, but then, so was Gingrich until a couple or so weeks ago.

The R field is a trainwreck, and nobody wants another four years of Obama. Have we hit the once-in-a-lifetime scenario where a libertarian could actually get elected US President?
Very very unlikely!!! Of course anything can happen, but what you mainly are seeing and hearing is a very loud and loyal group of Paul supporters that are in the minority big time!!!!

Well, I'm a huge supporter of his, but if that does happen, I can already see the path it will take. The media will just try to destroy him on the false allegations of the news letters and that he is racist due to his statements on the CRA, both will be totally misrepresented but the general public wont actually take the time to understand it and they will assume what the media says is true, instead of listening to what Paul actually says and how he explains his views on personal freedom being completely contradictory to a racist mindset. Cain has his sexual harassment, Newt has his consulting issues, Perry had his issues...they build them up and knock them down...it sells papers, and puts eyeballs in front of the TV/Computer screen and makes them money....doesnt matter if any of it is based in truth.

Those newsletters are going to mess him up. No doubt. They just are. He should have been more careful about what was printed under his banner back in the 80s and 90s.
