This does nothing for Romney... Ron Paul supporters will never vote for Mittens... If anything... things just got worse for Mitt Romney...
I completely agree. This movement is bigger than Rand Paul. No one is going to vote for Romney just because Rand Paul had to open his big mouth. We'll see how long his Senate career lasts.
If Ron Paul is such a small insignificant player, why are Romney bumper stickers so few and far between when Ron Paul stickers are everywhere and why can Ron Paul bring crowds of 5 or 10k with a days notice when Romney can't even draw 500 with a months notice?
"significance" in an election is better judged by votes eh? Ron Paul was a fairly insignificant player by that measure.
(Yeah I know, insert babble here about the cheating voting machines with links to youtube etc.....)
Don't confuse the fanaticism of a few with being a majority.
College students and retirees may have a lot of time to attend rallies, conventions, or go out of their way to plaster bumper stickers and yard signs everywhere, but the majority of Americans who work 45-50 hour weeks and hold moderate views are the ones who determine elections.
I don't understand these statements. Are you saying "minorities" are fanatics? The "majority" view has more value? Are you speaking of votes?
I am not sure why people value this majority thing so strongly, other than social conditioning. People have done heinous psychotic things to one another in the name of the "majority".

I know you are doing the standard CDusr play dumb and confused thing, but obviously (to the rest of us) he was referring to there being a louder minority with fanatical leanings that amplify the perceived support for Ron Paul beyond what it actually is. He was making no sweeping statement about the majority/minority and the veracity of their opinion in general, and to be honest it is pretty funny to see you scratch your little head and frame it that way.

Cute speech, applause! Again, he was simply pointing out the flaws in the viewpoint that seeing more overt support for a candidate (like bumper stickers) does not equate to more support from the majority. Keep on fighting the good fight against social conditioning, oh confused one.
Unfortunately, I can no longer support either Ron or Rand Paul. I have lost my faith in them, as have so many others. Even Alex Jones has been calling them out now.

Everyone is missing it..... Ron Paul is being forced to make Romney the VP...

Who else has done more for the cause of liberty nowadays? btw Alex Jones is no better than Glen Beck. Informative, sure, but he's in it for the sensationalist he is.
This whole Rand "endorsement" is being way overblown in my opinion... Rand is just covering all bases as one of the establishment Republicans so his dad won't get so much opposition when he's President... The only thing to watch out for is they'll try to suicide Ron Paul like they did with Reagan...
We are in the POST-BUSH era. Bush was a miserable failure, decimating our domestic agenda across the board. This is the Republican way. What these two worthless Republicans do means nothing.
What SpongeBob SquarePants does is more relevant.
