    you ignorance is only exceeded by the shallowness of your thought. this coming election is, once again, not about voting for someone, but voting against someone. I don't care for much of romney's politics, but I cannot stand obama's politics. therefore I will be voting for anybody but obama.

    if paul were the nominee I would vote for him even if I didn't agree with everything he stands for.

    I wouldn't care if donald duck were the nominee, if he was running against obama, I would vote for him.

    If enough people write in paul on the ballot, it will ensure that obama wins another 4 years. that is not only possible, but quite probable. I vote my conscience and my conscience this year tells me to cast my vote to ensure that obama does not win again. If romney wins, I will cast my vote in 4 years to reflect my opinion of him at that time.

    'RNC Rules State ALL Delegates are Free Agents and Bound to No Candidate
    Written on MAY 12, 2012 by V2A, Filed under2012 Election, Politics7 Comments

    In an article last week, it was pointed out that many of the delegates that the states are actually electing are Ron Paul delegates. Though Paul has not won a single state in the primaries, he has won several in delegate counts. While the main stream media and the GOP apparently think that Mitt Romney is the nominee, that has yet to be seen.

    Ben Swann of Fox News local 19 explains why the Republican National Convention does not recognize a state’s binding on their delegates, but, in fact, considers them free agents that can vote their conscience or preference.


    According to one source, Jennifer Sheehan, Legal Counsel for the RNC, plainly stated in a letter to Nancy Lord, Utah National Committeewoman, several weeks before the convention,

    “The RNC does not recognize a state’s binding of national delegates, but considers each delegate a free agent who can vote for whoever they choose.”

    I am well aware of the rules and regulations regarding national and state elections. it is possible for rp to win the nomination, but not probable. in the end, it doesn't matter to me who the repub nominee is, I will vote for that person over obama 8 days a week.

    and no, I will not write rp in on the ballot because that will dilute the chances of obama being defeated

    We all have our preferences for whom the Republican candidate should be! We won't all win, obviously. I will vote for the Convention choice and do my best to elect him to replace Obama, whether he is my first choice or not.
    Thank you. I have no argument with your premise...makes perfect sense to me!

    You know it was the Anyone but Bush mindset that got us Obama. The Anyone but Obama mindset will get us someone worse than both of them. We can do better than that.

    No one but Ron Paul.

    I don't agree with that assessment. I will concede that obama did not run against mccain but bush in 2008, but the main reason that he won the election was due to the people voting for a shiny new object. that and blind devotion to "hope and change", whatever the hell that is.

    I will take a chance with romney and push for a real conservative to challenge him for the nomination in 2016. 4 years of romney will trump 4 years of bo. rp may be the best candidate this time around, but he cannot, and will not, win the nomination.

    You can say that again...he's a KNOWN LIAR & PROVEN CHEATER (to say the least)...He sucked so bad, as a Governor, that those people ran him off & don't want anything to do with him...Dr. Paul got ALL the delegates in Romney's home State...now THAT should say something!

    He should quit the race he will not get the nomination anyway. He has been an ineffective congressman why should we even consider this man for president. He has no clue about foreign policy and a strong defense in this increasingly dangerous world.

    If Romney is nominated WE ALL LOSE Obama wins. You fell for the douche bag and draft dodger the liberal media shoved down your throat. They know Obama will beat him.

    Too many Republicans are willing to make the same stupid mistake they made in 08. Nominating a liberal douche. Now you will vote for a guy McCain wouldn't pick for VP because he is a "draft dodger"?

    I will be voting for a conservative veteran. I hope you "wise up".

    I have plenty of class, although it may be "low class" at times. Rand Paul has plenty of time in the future to run.

    It is Ron Paul's time to be president now. The country could use his expertise on world economics and insight that none of the other candidates possess. His plan to "Restore America" will give us a balanced budget in three years, and avoid the collapse of the dollar.

    Romney has far too much dirt in his past to beat a sitting incumbent, no matter how bad Obama is. Don't you see the parallel between this election and 08?

    The "two morons" Obama and Romney are almost identical NWO puppets. This video is a bit long, very interesting and totally accurate.
    Our country has been "taken over" we need someone with the know how and the "balls" to stop this take over.

    That is why I am so passionate about supporting Ron Paul. I am frustrated that more people are not waking up and getting pissed off about it. Sorry for the name calling that was inappropriate.

    Ron Paul has not ended his campaign. My local NBC affiliate said "that he conceded to Romney". That is Pure BS! The media wants him out because their "house of cards" will come crashing down if he is elected. (refer to the video)

    In Ron Paul's own words. "Dear Dave,

    As I reflect on our 2012 Presidential campaign, I am humbled by the supporters who have worked so hard and sacrificed so much. And I am so proud of what we have accomplished. We will not stop until we have restored what once made America the greatest country in human history.

    This campaign fought hard and won electoral success that the talking heads and pundits never thought possible. But, this campaign is also about more than just the 2012 election. It has been part of a quest I began 40 years ago and that so many have joined. It is about the campaign for Liberty, which has taken a tremendous leap forward in this election and will continue to grow stronger in the future until we finally win.

    Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process. We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that Liberty is the way of the future.

    Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in state...

    Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted. Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have. I encourage all supporters of Liberty to make sure you get to the polls and make your voices heard, particularly in the local, state, and Congressional elections, where so many defenders of Freedom are fighting and need your support.

    I hope all supporters of Liberty will remain deeply involved - become delegates, win office, and take leadership positions. I will be right there with you. In the coming days, my campaign leadership will lay out to you our delegate strategy and what you can do to help, so please stay tuned.


    For Liberty,
