Because why bother accommodating libertarians and younger voters? f*** em...everyone knows the election depends just on conservative republicans and THEIR votes, not independents. Good job, GOP. You have nobody to blame but yourselves for 4 more disastrous years of Obama.

I jumped the gun, the article did not say he was or was not speaking.

Indulge me please...what would be your reaction if Ron Paul was named his VP?

I like Ron Paul on domestic issues (especially regarding the Fed). However, his stance on national defense (while properly rooted in the Constitution) is not realistic. In fact, I believe it is dangerous to US interests and our allies. Regardless of Paul's inclusion in the convention, I don't believe this gives the election to the President. In the end, most people will vote based on their wallets. With the unemployment numbers rising, debt mounting (and the taxes that will follow), and home values dropping, the POTUS is in a very bad place IMO.

A lot of people see Romney as just as bad as Obama. Also, the GOP's stance on issues like gay marriage, the war on drugs, etc, is completely outdated. Whether you agree with stuff like that or not, you can't legislate people into morality. You have to let people do in the private lives as they wish, agree with it or not. I know so many people ( should be read as idiots) who are supporting Obama solely because of his stance on social issues. I know, it's retarded, but it's true.

As far as Ron Paul I can accept him for some of his fault's on foreign policy. A President that actually obeys the Constitution will do things in accordance with the balance of powers, not just executive order. So if it was decided a foreign policy move was too extreme, he wouldn't do it.

As far as our foreign policy, it isn't even debatable that it needs reform. Anybody familiar with the history of the Roman empire can see where we are headed. I hate to use the commie bastards as an example, but China has a strong military, and it's not in 130 countries, it's at home. Yet they are strong enough to make people think twice before attacking them.

Who is going to provide them? I'm sorry but I just don't have faith in Romney. Too many people in the GOP believe "big govt is only bad when the OTHER guys do it"

Congress is where I would want to start electing Ron Paul types...

Exactly. I think I'd prefer another 4 years of Obama to 4 years of Romney. At least with Obama I know my wife's job, salary, and healthcare plan is safe and secure. (She works for a major medical company that makes pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, nutritional supplements, etc. We're having a pretty good year! )
