Paul will not get the nomination but he will get a prime spot in the convention. He will get more applause than anyone outside of Romney and he will not hold back.

This is one way Romney could screw up. If he dismisses Paul, things could change quick.

Because I used to be just like all the other Republicans. I bought that spew hook, line and sinker. I thought Paul was extreme and his followers nuts. (I still think some of them are.) But I opened my mind and actually learned what Paul stands for and what he stands for is less government. He doesn't just talk it, like Republicans do, he actually would work to make it so.

All I've seen out of the Republicans for the past several elections, (not just Pres), is a bunch of hot air. They have ticked me off more times than I care to count. They've acted like spineless cowards, selling out.

No, they don't act as bad as some of the whiny Dems who "take their ball and go home" until they get their way, but they aren't far from it.

How do I know? Because I've been one of you. Now? As they say, once you get it, you can't UNget it.

Speaking of which, have you seen Jesse Ventura's new book? This looks like a fun read.

This is the exchange with Guiliani.


Ron Paul vs. Rudy Giuliani - YouTube#!

The CFR has stacked the deck for the 2008 election with
several members in the race from both sides of the isle:

Democrat CFR
Candidates:
Barack Obama
Hillary Clinton
John Edwards
Chris Dodd
Bill Richardson
Republican CFR
Candidates:
Mitt Romney
Rudy Giuliani
John McCain
Fred Thompson
Newt Gingrich

The mainstream
media's self-proclaimed “top tier” candidates are united in their
CFR membership, while an unwitting public perceives political
diversity. The unwitting public has been conditioned to
instinctively deny such a mass deception could ever be hidden in
plain view. Presidential Candidate & Congressman Ron Paul is
the only “top tier” candidate who is not a member of the CFR.

Nothing, but arrogance and total lack of personal responsibility. Twisting words and trying to make that sound like a woman getting raped for wearing a short dress.

We have no right to go bomb, interfere with and do these heinous things to other countries, anymore than they have a right to do that here or anywhere else.
If you go pick a fight expect to get one, even if you are a bully.
I find people like Giuliani an embarrassment, nothing but grandstanding.

Give me one good reason why Ron Paul should get a prime spot? Or why a Romney "dismissal" results in "things changing quick"?

As the Paulbots are fond of repeating ad nauseum daily, they will not vote for Romney under any circumstances. That means there is no reason whatsoever for the GOP and Mitt Romney to give RP a platform at their convention.

Lew Rockwell says the campaign is over for Ron Paul. He is an educator of the people, that's what he has been doing and will continue to do. Rand is a conservative Republican, nothing more nothing less.
I respect Lew and think he is right on target. It is up to us to restrain gov't, not look to gov't to reduce itself, that will never happen.
