Overnight or a slow death, either way who working there would want to have anything to do with a man that wants to shut your place of business down. No, he will not be chairing the Fed, but the main reason is that a Repub would have to win the Whitehouse and that is not going to happen in 2012. Now in 2016 there is a good chance a Repub could win, but Paul would be retired and around 80 years old, so much for that idea.

I answered your original question, and you present a new premise...oh well.

No, you did not and no I did not, I said he wanted to kill the organization you simply stated he wanted to do it slowly, death is death or didn't you know that? Either way the issue is moot.

Yes, and like all of people that think Paul wants to end things over night, those same people don't give any thought to the fact that unwinding an organization takes as much or more effort than running it for the future. The amount of planning needed to successfully wind down and redistribute the core competencies and functions required can't just be accomplished by saying "eh, this is coming to and end, lets just wing it until it falls apart"

And yes, you did change the premise from Why would RP want the job to who would want to work there. Two different questions.

I never asked why Paul wated to end the Fed, the discussion is him chairing the Fed, I simply asked who would want to work for the man, you know those already working there, I cannot believe anyone would help someone that wants to dismantle their place of business, whether it is overnight or slowly. As I said the issue is moot since it will not happen.

Good, because I never said you did, nor did I try to explain why he does.

Only in a world with an orange sky full of green clouds.

Paul does not have the delegates to win, and will not have the number by the convention. Mitt will not nominate Paul as VP, and neither will Santorum or Gingrich.

Hopefully, Paul might be able to change the conservative dialog, but that's for a future election to prove if he succeeded or not. He's doing better as a Republican than he did as an independent in '08, but he's simply too far down to ever win.

He didn't run as an independent in '08,he ran as a republican just like this time.He ran as the libertarian candidate in 1988.

[quote=BentBow;23392912]In all the debates, Mitt payed serious attention to every word coming out of Ron's mouth. Mitt is trying to learn what the people want, from Ron.


well, something is happening because alot of people in Western NC and east tenn are for Ron Paul, and they do NOT want Romney.

Swing voters. Lifes a bi@tch for the GOP when they have to deal with real people.

If Mitt Romney acts like the so called business person he is perhaps as an adviser in finance.
