If the other two democrats in republican clothing haven't figured this out yet either, they are not fit to be president.

So stealing the nomination is ok? Sounds like the same "The ends justify the means" bull crap that the libs seem to be so fond of.

I love how CNN was explaining how 2nd place for Romney would actually be a victory. A third place win for Paul however, means his candidacy is over.
I swear if you have yet to go senile and you give the media any credibility whatsoever in an era in which nearly 100% of people under 40 get their news via the internet, I feel for you. I almost felt bad for the babbling heads on CNN. the "Romney the Frontrunner" felatio was uncomfortable to watch. Like a bad SNL skit. |

I'm really seeing the age factor you have been talking about lately. As the greatest generation leaves us so will their social stigmas and paranoias. And their reliance on the idiot box to be "Informed." I asked my 76 year old mom (born again, strict "R" voter) the other day what she thought of Ron Paul. She said he was a nut. I asked why she felt that way and she didn't know but she would get back to me. Then the next time we talked I asked again and she said someone, she's not sure who, said on TV he will legalize heroin and give, yes give, Iran a nuclear bomb. The media does it's job well on the weak, the lazy and the vulnerable. 20 years from now that may not be the case anymore. |

I'll say this about Ron Paul, whoever runs his campaign does a good job. He plays dirty as fuck, and still claims the moral high ground- something democrats usually have a monopoly on. He also does a good job with branding. Republicans could learn a lot from his campaign.

The high road would be great, but our Roman DNA precludes such novel pleasantries. This is just the beginning, as I have previously explained. Time-Youth both on our side. The establishment enjoys neither. The ideas put forth by Dr. Paul are like a cool drink of water to the under 50 crowd. Specifically, the under 45 crowd. The ideals that the old man network have their heels dug into are viewed appropriately as a flat earth theory. Society changes and it's always at the hands of the young. I look to the current older generation as a role model on how not to behave if I am blessed enough to reach that point. A little respect and dialogue with youth, in lieu of repeated Leave it to Beaver coerced mandates would go a long way to bridge the gap. Don't expect the gap to be pontooned anytime soon. Marketing, branding and age demographics are everything. Perhaps they were not when the country waited until 10pm to get a watered down and network approved version of the news, but they are now. It would be beneficial for party supporters and candidates to realize that it is no longer 1982. |

That's just how the Iowa Caucus works. The vote doesn't mean much. Santorum won my precinct, but 100% of our delegates support Ron Paul.

I would LOVE to see it go to the convention. I want this as unpleasant for Romney and his obvious Republican base of support as possible. If Republicans are going to insist upon being Government Party, authoritarian, statist, gun grabbing liberals....I want to make it as fucking hard as possible for them. Such behavior should never be rewarded with easy wins. |

That may be true, but he'll face stiff competition from Cain and Bachmann now that they've dropped out. They took failure winning to another level by not even being candidates anymore. It's a brilliant strategy. The only question that really remains is whether Cain or Bachmann will be our next president.
