By Kevin Kervick,

National Republicans may have some serious thinking to do. Their presumptive nominee, Mitt Romney looks to be in serious trouble on multiple fronts today.

Governor Romney has lost ground to President Obama and is now trailing in all of the national polls with the exception of the Rasmussen Reports poll which has been the poll most favorable to Governor Romney. Governor Romney is now tied with President Obama in the latest Rasmussen poll, which is a steep decline in that poll for Governor Romney relative to President Obama since early June.

In battleground states, Governor Romney is seeing similar declines. According to the poll numbers at Real Clear Politics, Governor Romney is behind in Florida, Iowa, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Obama groups are running hard-hitting television advertisements against Governor Romney in several battleground states that appear to be having an impact. The ads are portraying Governor Romney as a vulture capitalist whose business practices created a net job loss instead of a jobs gain, which is a narrative that is challenging the cornerstone of the Romney campaign strategy. If the Romney job creating narrative is tarnished, he may not be able to find another narrative on which to run.

    Even though I dislike both Obama and Romney, I must acknowledge the fact that Obama is being handed a second term as U.S. President by Ron Paul supporters. /Shudders.

    And all the "Quit blaming us Ron Paul supporters!" rhetoric in the world will not change this fact--sorry, it is the cold, hard truth.

    Yes, we need a viable third party in the U.S. political system--but now is not the time to push for it, given the current circumstances and Obama's intentions.

    Obama is being handed a second term by Soros. Why do you think he is counting the votes in Spain this November.

    Paul has democratic supporters, independent supporters, libertarian supporters, plus republican supporters including the Paul supporters.
    Romney has republican voters and Paul supporters will refuse to vote for him.
    All the democrats that don't like Obama will vote for Obama anyway just to not vote for a Republican or go third party, and the independent and libertarians will go third party and Paul supporters will go third party and abandon Romney.

    Obama, will win another 4 years. The choice of Romney guarantees Obama's win.

    The only way to get Obama out of office is to have Paul be the nominee, we have been trying to explain this to you people, but you refuse to listen. If Obama wins in 2012 you will have no one to blame but your selves.

    @Teri U wrote this back in July and now its Nov. Yes U R right. As a hardcore Obama supporter I can't say who I would vote 4 if it was Ron Paul vs Obama. But its not. Instead we have Satan vs Obama. So the choice is easy. I would have a lot less anxiety if Paul was on the Repub ticket. I would then know that either way the Pres coming in, wouldn't be a lying cheat.

    It's only July. I'm not worried about it. Romney will prevail dispite Paul supporters failure to see that getting Obama out is far more important than getting Paul in.

    Romney has no narrative in which to run now. His job record in Mass was a joke. His tax record in Mass was hidden by tons of new fees and raised rates on existing fees. Romney is a Billionaire, but won't admit it. He knows that it would further alienate him from the masses and give yet more credibility to the money he made at Bain. Let's not forget, there is still a pending lawsuit, and that little mess in Europe tying him to campaign and banking fraud. So what is the GOP's next move when their golden Mormon gets his puny wings clipped? Do they come to the Paul campaign and beg for forgiveness? LMAO! That I would pay to see for sure!

    They just don’t seem to get what the movement is all about. They think it is about one man and failed to cotton on to the fact it’s bigger than that. Ron Paul supporters follow Ron Paul because of what he believes in and stands for…not because he is a member of the Republican party.

    The GOP should have pulled their heads out of their collective asses years ago.

    The solution for the United States is not to elect more "good" people to government because they are quickly co-opted and compromised by the corrupt political system.

    It may sound cynical, but the solution is to make it politically advantageous for bad people to do the right thing.

    It is not now politically advantageous for either the Democrat or the Republican Party to tell the truth about Barack Obama; that he is an illegal President and very likely a felon, who has a forged birth certificate, a forged Selective Service registration and is using a Social Security Number not issued to him.

    Both parties are steadfastly protecting Obama to protect their investment in the corrupt political status quo.

    The formula is simple. To keep themselves permanently in office, members of Congress collect taxes nationwide, they then use the proceeds to repay wealthy financiers with tax loopholes or government loans and buy constituent votes through local tax-funded projects.

    The American people have given Congress a credit card with no limit. Rather than themselves being financially penalized for their largesse, members of Congress simply pass the debt along to ordinary Americans and future generations, whi...

    The American people have given Congress a credit card with no limit. Rather than themselves being financially penalized for their largesse, members of Congress simply pass the debt along to ordinary Americans and future generations, while they enrich themselves through the power granted them to spend our money.

    The larger the federal government, the greater the number of opportunities arise for politicians to benefit from the scam.

    Is anyone surprised that 50% of Congress members are millionaires compared to the 1% millionaires in the United States as a whole?

    Both Democrats and Republican recognize that exposing Obama will lead to a bloodbath of revelations about their complicity to undermine the Constitution and flout the rule of law, which would jeopardize their comfortable lifestyles. The truth would generate genuine outrage among the American people.

    Even a Republican Presidential candidate, explaining the conspiracy of silence about Obama, once indicated off-camera that the issue runs much deeper than people realize.

    That is why discussion of Obama's ineligibility and his alleged crimes is suppressed by politicians and the mainstream media. They all have too much to lose.

    As part of their effort to undermine the rights granted by the Constitution, Congress has actively pursued legislation to limit free speech.

    The First Amendment to the US Constitution states:

    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

    In February 2012, the Republican-led US House of Representatives voted 388-to-3 in favor of House Resolution 347, the Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011 or more aptly dubbed the "First Amendment Rights Eradication Act", which makes free speech a felony under certain circumstances.

    H.R. 347, which has been signed into law by Barack Obama, will allow the government to bring charges to protesters, demonstrators and activists at political events and other outings across America.

    It is no longer possible to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Our elected officials not only ignore the voice of the people, but they are now taking steps to silence that voice.

    Abraham Lincoln said that the American people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.

    The time has come for mass public action by ordinary Americans against those who are perverting the Constitution.

    Exposing Obama before the November election will shake the entire corrupt political system to its core and create a window of opportunity for the American people to take back control of their government.

    Post the following in every public area in the country:

    "Barack Obama, an illegal President, a stolen Social Security Number, a forged birth certificate, a forged Selective Service registration."

    Force the corrupt politicians to do the right thing. Force them to tell the truth.

    It's too late now for you and the rest to criticize Paul supporters. Where were you when Ron Paul received 89 seconds of air time in a Republican debate? Where were you when Ron Paul was mocked for his views on the endless wars? Where were you when Ron Paul said the deficit was our biggest enemy? Where were you when Ron Paul said there was a housing bubble being created by Washington?
    You made your bed with Mitt Romney now go sleep with him. I won't defile myself by voting for a mirrored image of Obama.

    Cry me a river. Just stop placing the blame on those who tried to make a real change in America instead of having the one party system that has dogged us for fifty years. If Ron Paul were asked and accepted the VP job I still wouldn't vote for Romney as all hope would be gone.
    BTW, Obama can't do those things unless he has willing accomplices in the congress. It is more important to get liberty minded people in those positions than the White House.

Oh wait you'll blame the Obama administration and say "Romney couldn't fix the problems Obama caused. There wasn't enough time" Or wait if things are true and Romney is responsible for embezzlement and gets arrested and their for allowing Obama to win, I suppose that is the Ron Paul people's fault too!

    Lady... you just nailed him perfectly !! Romney is a corporate 'ho. Those in his own party gag when his name is mentioned. Why? There are numerous millionares in Congress, both Dem and Repub. But Romney doesn't give a rat's furry buttucks about those peons. He runs with the Koch crowd, Karl Rove, Foster Friess and Sheldon Edelson , and that is who he will protect.

    How can he unless he makes cuts elsewhere? Romney says he will make " painful cuts to save the country", but will not say where. According to Willard, those are things that can only be discussed in "quiet rooms". Won't be the military. So good bye to Medicare, Medicaid , and SS. Education? He wants to privatize it. Good bye to that as well.
