Would you stick to your principles and NOT VOTE for Paul if Perry/Romney/Cain/Gingrich/Bachmann or any of the other "neo-cons/sellouts" were on the ticket?
The only reason why Paul would pick any of the other neo-con-asswipe-big-government-fake-conservative-moral-degenerate-sellouts is if they come around to Paul's positions 100%. That's not going to happen, so they won't be picked. In the extreme unlikely event that he does, I haven't made up my mind on what I would do.

He has already said, he would not entertain the idea of being any of the other candidates running mates, because they do not hold his Constitutional values.

My boyfriend and I were talking about this last night.

We have no clue really...but it would have to be someone who knows his sh*t...We both have the feeling if Ron Paul wins the elections someone might kill him.

Are you joking ? Gregg was against auditing the federal reserve a bill made possible by Paul's leadership :

Sen. Judd Gregg, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, says he’s worried that politicians on Capitol Hill are sacrificing the Fed’s historic independence because the Fed has become unpopular during the economic crisis.

Judd Gregg now works for Goldman Sach's :

Quote:
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. today announced that Judd Gregg, a former three-term U.S. Senator from New Hampshire has been named an international advisor to the firm. He joins a group of 17 international advisors and will provide strategic advice to the firm and its clients, and assist in business development initiatives across our global franchise.
“Judd Gregg’s experience and insight will contribute significantly to our firm and our continuing focus on supporting economic growth,” said Lloyd C. Blankfein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc

He is making too much money now for a lousy VP job and plus Paul would never consider this former creepy {R}.

This is a good observation...Ron Paul says that he would attempt to disband the CIA, IRS, and Federal Reserve...

That is a lot of really powerful people and a lot of $$ that he is cutting people out of...it would be extremely easy to get rid of him...

Further to me it doesn't matter who he picks so much because it has come down to Paul as the only candidate not bought and paid for. When I look at him sure I do not agree with every single point he makes - but it is so much bigger than that. I have heard people say that well if he doesn't openly support gay marriage than I am not going to vote for him.. IMO that is dumb because if the economy collapses than we are all going to be f%cked in the arse regardless of our orientation...

What a dumb post. Ron Paul didn't back any of the neocons as president in 2008 so why ask? You may as well ask "if Ron Paul would select Obama to be his VP...."
