With the WaPo article outlining Mittens' gay bashing and bullying past is it time for the GOP to look elsewhere?

If Mittens treated people like this on his way up, hurting people that he crossed paths with, is it reasonable to assume there will be more disgusting stories coming out? When you hurt people, they talk.

I don't think that story will even be necessary. I think the die has been cast. The RNC rules state that no delegates are bound and Ron Paul is obviously way more popular than Romney. Paul will end up with more delegates in August than Romney and even if he doesn't, Romney won't have enough to take the nomination and we'll let the delegates vote their conscience to determine who the nominee will be.

Phew! There is hope for our country after all!

On the one hand, I think Romney is despicable and wish the Republican party had the balls to choose Paul. However, I don't think he's quite the puppet they're looking for (as Grover Norquist said, someone who can just sign a bill). So I doubt TPTB in the Republican party would allow Ron Paul to be the nominee.

I am also not comfortable with a late nomination because there wouldn't be time for Paul to be fully vetted before the election. I think the American people need to find out a lot more about Ron Paul.

I wouldn't worry about it. Most people will vote for their own party. If they are Republicans, they will vote for anyone with an R on it.

If you have pay attention to 2008, Obama won because he got majority of college vote from college students. People want real change. Guess who got all the student's attention?

The counted votes at the primaries and caucuses disprove this assertion.

Recent headlines by the MSM are now retracting those so called "reports" of Romney's supposed wins. Have'nt you been following the news?


The popular vote doesn't determine much of anything anyway besides votes were counted by Diebold voting machines. Need I say more?

The only republican candidate that made any sense and had a realistic plan for America was sabotaged by the news media. If it were not for the internet most of us would have never heard of Ron Paul.

Welcome to American. The best government money can buy.
