“I can tell you that both Ron and Rand will have an important role in the convention and their supporters and ideals will be well represented,” said Jesse Benton, who managed Ron Paul’s presidential campaign.

First of all you are wrong!

I took a screen shot of the headline I answered

(click to enlarge)

Ron Paul is not a "Former Candidate" unless you are referring to the Republican party's grave mistake of election 2008.

Ron Paul is currently a presidential candidate for election 2012. The only problem we have as a country is letting the main stream media elect our leaders for us.

Why did they "black out" the "Campaign for Liberty" when they were clearly gaining more support than douche bag Romney?

You didn't see this on TV did you?

You didn't see this either.

I hope Ron Paul pulls off a coup at the convention. Romney and Obama are both puppets of the NWO and the bankers, they offer no solutions to the problems we face as a country, they are both BS artists.

Ron Paul tells you the truth and has the solutions. He can "lead by example" and wants America to do the same.

if you are a conservative and you don't happen to like Romney that is too bad.. he is the candidate.. but if you would jeopardize our liberty for some foolish loyalty to make a point then I do not consider you a patriot.

Supporting the patriot act and Ndaa should disqualify all other candidates. So much for less intrusive government.

I understand the facts completely. I also understand that is a stupid ploy to try and call someone stupid just because they don't agree with you. Republicans are running on the less intrusive government platform, but support the patriot act and NDAA. Both basically throws Americans 4th amendment rights right out of the window, but you knew that already,...right?

The only way to avoid another one of those is get out of those peoples backyard. If an intruder came to your house trashing your property, threatening the lives of your family what are you going to do?
Taking away American people freedoms is not going to stop a "foreign terrorist or group" from committing an act of terror. Protecting other peoples borders will not stop it either. protecting our borders will. North and Southwest by our own troops. You probably wouldn't know anything about borders, but it used to be my job.

Those people you refer to are coming into our Country in droves! Our mission in other Countries is to help them defend theirs so that we don't have to let them come and live here. Obama wants open borders, obviously or it would have been taken care of. He wants these illegals because he wants their vote in November!

Those people that I was talking about are Middle Easterners not Mexican migrant workers. When was the last time you were in the desert dodging Al Quaida bullets? Those people don't want us there period. What good are we doing over their except mounting civilian casualties. For every civilian casualty there are two or 3 people swearing allegiance to Al Quaida. Here in America a big fuss is being made about our South Western border when the most porous border is to our North. when was the last time a Mexican terrorist group blew up America buildings? and your excuse that Obama wants more votes in November is even more ridiculous. Riddle me this. The immigration problem has been here for over 40 years why haven't a Republican President resolved this issue? No this issue is usually not a big deal until A Democrat President in office. Stop with the Fox News talking points and start thinking for yourself.

You know what. I kinda figured you was going to make some stupid reply instead of using your reason. Apparently I hit a nerve. Maybe even confused you with facts and you have nothing substantial to come back with so you have to revert to using pictures. I give up David,...You won,...

Who is on the defensive? You're the one that has to resort to pictures and obscene gestures to substantiate your argument. From you initial response I kinda figured this would eventually happen when you ran out of the usual Fox News Talking point. That's what happens when people like you let the tv do your thinking and you can't think for yourself when you are away from it. I would suggest putting your tv close to your computer and try listening to it and typing at the same time. Wait. I got a feeling that is too much for you. I don't have to be defensive of your kind especially when you are too busy tripping over yourself. #kmsl

who said I was a Liberal? You're the one who mentioned Obama I didn't. Also I don't listen to talking points. From either side. I had my feet on the ground in Iraq. I saw with my own eyes and share the same view as many other veterans. Also it is very elementary that anyone wanting to come here illegally would choose the border that is less watched and that is the border to our North. Talk is always about our south western border, but the larger and more porous border is to our north. Maybe it is my military experience of patrolling borders is what is giving me this insight. wouldn't you think. Plus I am going to ask you one question. (and I am already expecting to hear more talking points instead of an answer.) How long has this immigration issue been on the table? Oh and as an after thought Obama is only trying to resolve the immigration issue the same way Bush did.
In fact everything Obama is doing now is pretty much what Bush was trying to do.Maybe Obama should run on the Republican ticket.

and I am using Fox News as a source for my information because I am sure this is the only news network that you believe in.

Face it. A vote for anyone other then Romney is a vote for Obama. Your link is broken by the way. Fox is the only channel that doesn't BS like the rest of them do. You wouldn't know that however since you don't watch them!

There you go again making assumptions. I am not blaming Bush. I was only proving that Obama is no different from Bush. He is only trying to resolve the immigration issue using a Bush move. You have to agree with me on that because Obama is only doing the same thing that Bush tried to do. Am I right or wrong? #kmsl

pshhhhhht. Lol. I would rather vote Libertarian. Romney isn't going to make it any better. He is in it for the same people as Bush and Obama. He is just is not as adept in hiding it as those previous two. Take medicare for instance. Medicare will be protected for people 55 and over. What's the retirement age? 65 for most middle class people. add life expectancy to that. and you get a piggy bank that they can dip into again in another 10 - 15 years. Especially when both Romney and Ryan can't say when their plan for the deficit will balance out because what? they haven't done the numbers, and this is what you are going to give your vote for just to get Obama out of office. Go ahead and dive right into that turd. That is your Constitutional right.

How does outsourcing jobs to China profit the unemployed American worker? If you ask me that would only put more people on government assistance That you are so against. I think that would be the number one reason why an American would vote Democrat, and not any illegal.
