Respect for RP

[buckstopshere]

Is it me or are Newt and Romney showing a much higher level of respect for Dr Paul in tonight's debate? Heck, Newt was echoing Paul's good ideas. Not that I believe it to be sincere.

I heard about a FB movement, Paul-or-no one. Maybe theyre getting nervous!

Some analyst probably told them it would be good for their ratings to be nice to him.

I think they're hoping that if they pretend they like Dr. Paul's ideas now, they might be able to steal some of his supporters.

Yep. That's what I'm thinking too.

They know that they could not beat him in that 25-mile bicycle race that Paul challenged them to.

 

[MadBomber]

Those two said they agreed with Dr. Paul so many times I was half-expecting them to announce they were dropping out and going to work for RP. At least Santorum had the guts to maintain his positions.

Also, speaking of Mittens and the Serial Adulterer, exactly how clueless and out of touch do you have to be to look bad in a high-dollar public argument with Rick Santorum?

The Dr. did not actively campaign in FL from what I understand. It looks like he's getting close to the end of his bid, and they know it.

Ummm, yeah, because Ron Paul is surging to a whooping 9% in Florida.

If they are nice and respectful to you then they do not fear you. Ron Paul is a non-player.

I'm not sure that I'd agree with that. I believe that it was part of his strategy because Florida is a winner-takes-all state. He is trying to collect delegates and with a winner-takes-all, he'd have to spend a ton (Florida is an expensive state to campaign in) that he thought could be spent to get a bit of a head start in other states. There is plenty going on (on the cheap) in Florida but it doesn't make sense to put the money out that others are when it is winner-takes-all.

No, he's got $ and stamina...he'll maintain the national stage as long as he can.

I disagree. The paul or no one movement will pick up steam and probably represents the feelings of most RP supporters.

The GOP recognizes this, see Palins comments a few weeks ago, and in a general election against BHO, they need every vote.

Don't take our word for it, check out the link below. He didn't plan on competing in FL.

Ron Paul Looking Past Florida Primary 2012 To Focus On Caucus States

Ron Paul seems to be wisely standing back and letting the two top pseudo-republicans knock each other silly until both are in total disgrace, and then stepping in to fill the void. Smart if that is what he really is doing.

Given what we're left with, RP is starting to look like the prettiest girl at the party...after a few drinks, mind you.

Year after year after year the sheep scream for Liberty. Then, when they have a candidate that embodies Liberty and a return to a central government limited by the Constitution, the sheep cower.

Truth be told, Liberty scares the sheep sh*tless.

A citizenry of sheep begets a government of wolves.

WAKE UP FOLKS!

Well, no luck on any respect for RP flowing over the airwaves from Rush. I heard him briefly today while Ramsey was on commercial break.

A caller was making an argument that if Romney is the nominee by May, it may influence the SCOTUS decision on Obamacare because of Romney's similar system in Mass. The point being, SCOTUS may be more likely to uphold Obamacare knowing that Romney as potential POTUS would simply throw up his hands and roll over.

Interesting way to connect the dots by the caller. I hadn't really considered that and I'm still pondering it. Anyway, back to RP, Rush goes on about how the GOP needs to accept that each of the candidates, then he mentions Santorum, Gingrich, and Romney all have voted for or said things in the past that are not traditionally conservative.

Hmmmm....I can think of one candidate that has a consistently conservative voting record. Too bad Rush can't even mention his name!

Oh, and I guess Rush is planning on making his big endorsement tomorrow in Florida before the voting begins. Guess he won't be endorsing Dr Paul.

Par for the course. They always do that crap.

He said that? interesting.

It shouldn't surprise anyone that so called radio conservative host would fail to support the only true conservative candidate. Their $$$$$ flows from complaining about politicians, 99% of the time it's democrats. Nothing to complain about no ratings, no $$$$$$

Oh yeah and it was a love fest with the caller. The guy said, we choose our nominee when you make your endorsement mr limbaugh.
