Excerpts:
They counted the delegates and the nominating process is over and Gov. Romney has a sufficient amount of delegates and so I met with Gov. Romney last week and we talked about some of the areas where we have some agreement, some strong agreement.
“My dad, myself and his supporters are very passionate about the Federal Reserve needing to be reined in and audited and Gov. Romney supports that.
"We’re also very passionate about freedom of the Internet and we were all opposed to the SOPA bill, which we thought would take away some of our civil liberties with regard to the Internet, and Gov. Romney’s right there with us on that.
"One of the other issues that’s very important to me is the REINS Act. This is where regulations that are strangling our economy, regulations that cost over $100 million would have to come back from the EPA and be voted on in Congress. And Gov. Romney is right there with us on that issue as well.”
Paul said there are a “lot of issues of commonality” and noted he really did not want President Barack Obama to get a second term.
“I really don’t want to see a second term. I’m worried about what happens to our economy and our country if we get a second term of President Obama.”

+7I hope not to wake up the day after election and find Obummer won because the Ron Paul voters refused to accept reality and voted for an impossibility. Yes, I believe Ron Paul is the best, but he will not win and I mainly want this marxist jerk who occupies the Whitehouse gone! Once we take out the trash we can deal with Paul.
I voted Paul in the primary and will vote Romney in the general.
Obama must go.
To lie to protect a Party of liars. To protect a Party that showed the world what frauds they are when it comes to our vote as they did in Maine, Nevada, Louisiana, and Arizona. The same party who deliberately painted his dad as unelectable and would not support but is grabbing his policies and direction as if their own ... they give us no choice but to go 3rd party otherwise your choice ... Caligula or Nero
Thanks for posting, it is very helpful to know.
Once again you so called "conservatives" try to nominate a liberal crappy candidate to go up against Obama. Insanity is repeating the same thing and expecting different results.
Remember election 08? You are trying to nominate a guy the loser wouldn't pick for VP because of his "draft dodger" status.
at this time.....
Romney could be a Paul clone. He's also been a Reagan clone, a Kennedy clone and whatever he has to be to please the room and you think he's make a good President? Look forward to more pleasing the room. He'll run the country like Clinton.
Are you aware Ron Paul is for the free market and eliminating regulation that gets in the way of business? You know, how the Founding Fathers envisioned?
You can't call yourself a Conservative or a Repuke and eat what Romney is feeding you?
Dr. Paul has a grand vision that involves free markets and choices. Right To Work and fierce defending of the Constitution are the most important factors to me. Romney doesn't fit the bill.
You are an easily led automaton and only follow what the MSM and commentators tell you is your only option.
RP's foriegn policy is simple, quit wasting money on nation building. Punish those who attack us and move on.
As a result of this evolution, our real constitution (known as constitutional law) slowly changes over time. This change over time was fully anticipated by the drafters of the constitution. For example, where does the constitution say that everyone has a right to a court appointed attorney, or that abortion is allowed, or that kids must go to school until they are sixteen, or that we can't say prayers in school, or that you must be 21 to drink.
What happens is human nature kicks in every time there is a law we don't like and we start shouting that the law is unconstitutional. When was the last time Congress "declared war" in accordance with the constitution? Try 1941. Does that mean all the other wars since then have been unconstitutional? Personally, I think so, but the Supreme Court has overruled me every time.

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
Seventh Amendment – Civil trial by jury.
In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
Eighth Amendment – Prohibition of excessive bail and cruel and unusual punishment.
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
And it was quickly forbidden by the Supreme Court.
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees. Sorry, I'm American. My rights mean more to me than security.
