    Paul is dead last in delegates. The Iowa delegates that Paulobots are counting are smoke and mirrors. He did not win them and there is no official status that they will go to him or have gone to him. And come convention time and he has dropped out of the race, the Iowa delegates will not be his. He is last.

    Even if he was still in at the convention, he will be a far distant 3rd or 4th. Why would a handful of delegates go for him and waste their own time knowing they cannot make any difference. Paul is an "also ran." Never was anything more, never will be anything more.

    Romney-81
    Gingrich-27
    Santorum-15
    Paul-6

    At the convention he will be second.

    Exactly...not to mention he is a self claimed independent voter who has already stated he's not putting his support behind anyone until they announce the candidate....yet will vote for them regardless of how their values and beliefs match his...

    Logic and facts taking their toll on the cement minded Paulobots. There's hope for you yet. Not a lot, but hope.

    You evidently don't understand a closed primary.

    You evidently don't understand supporting a candidate and helping others understand their view points and why you support them as they may not fully understand it...

    No, haha. And it deserves..more scrutiny than any other economic system I've heard of. Any. It could and probably would make private sector employment skyrocket.

    Care to try that again in an understandable sentence?

    And if I interpreted your prattle properly. Why are you touting a 3 decade failure as somebody important. I don't understand. I've pointed out the facts that Paul has never accomplished anything but talk. You evidently fail to understand that. I've pointed out that Paul runs for president and quits. You fail to understand that. I've pointed out that Paul's "support" is only among a very small part of the population and they do NOT get out and vote. You evidently fail to understand that.

    Missouri, Paul 3rd in a 3 man race. 12%

    Minnesota, Paul 2nd in a 4 man race. Finally in the top 50% with 27% of the vote

    Colorado, likely 4th in a 4 man race.

    One distant second. Do YOU understand that?

    The American People don't want reform. They want sustainable status quo.

    This is why our Government is gridlocked. We have two Political parties controlled by radicals screaming for "transformative change" in America, and a center that wants nothing more than the sustainable status quo we had during the 80's, 90's.

    It is the primaries! There is a battle going on. Who will, can, should win that battle? Why are there primaries? I support voting obama OUT. Who should be voted in? Lincoln, Kennedy, Reagan, Washington? All N/A. Therefore we are left with the candidates that be. Am I thrilled with any of them? No! But even less thrilled about another 4 years of the incompetent incumbent idiot.
    The choices,,,,,Romney, a serious worry that he can be the very strong Nominee needed to beat obie. And some worry about how he'd govern.
    Paul is out. He has done nothing to deserve the presidency, He's a talker, not a doer. We need a man to break the DC deadlock. Paul has never shown ANY inkling of an ability to do that. He polarizes and we are over polarized now.

    Santorum and Gingrich? Santorum seems the most consistent, but the leftist media will make the election a fierce battle. Time will tell if he can stand up to the challenge. Gingrich has the best, and worst, record in DC.
    And that's him in a nutshell, the best and worst baggage to drag along.

    So why at this early date should I be committed to one candidate?

    Are YOU? Can you change your mind? May you change your mind?

    Ummmm....because one candidate has the policies that you agree with the most.

    Though I am getting the strong impression that all you care about is backing the winner..no matter who it is...not the one whose ideas are most similar to your own.

    In other words...a band wagon jumper.

    Policies? obama has policies. Why not consider performance with policy? I've told you a dozen times I agree with many of Paul's policies. I do not totally agree with anyone's complete list of policies and I doubt you do either.
    Have I even once knocked Paul's policies? No I have not. It is the 30 year lack of performance, no results. Of what value are the greatest list of policies in history if they never are implemented?

    Are you going to vote for someone that wears a tie you like, OR are you going to vote for the most complete package? Paul, good policy, NO performance. THAT is an incomplete package,,,,,,,PROVEN, over 3 decades.

    The Simpson-Bowles report sits in the Oval Office trash can for over a year now. It is filled with great policies. Trashed, not implemented. Therefore, useless.

    I NEVER judge a candidate by how electable he/she is.

    That is TOTALLY irrelevant to me...and it should be to all voters (imo).

    I judge them solely by what they stand for.


    And of course Ron Paul has passed virtually no legislation during his years in office...because very few federal politicians have had the common sense, knowledge and lack of corruption that he has.

    Why would corrupt politicians pass non-corrupt legislation?

    They would not...unless their constituents forced them to - which they VERY rarely do.

    "And of course Ron Paul has passed virtually no legislation during his years in office...because very few federal politicians have had the common sense, knowledge and lack of corruption that he has."


    There is a word for this,,,,,EXCUSE. Make excuses just like liberals do. No accomplishments are no accomplishments. That is life, Excuses are for those unable to cope.

    What one thing did Paul stand for over all else? Evidently,,,,,,,,,inaction. And the primaries bear that out. He has been in the bottom half of all major polls since the beginning. No matter how many were still in the race. As others dropped out, did Paul pick up their supporters? No, he remains in the bottom half of the candidates. And is at the bottom of the delegates list and WILL remain there until he gives it up as he always does, and goes home.
    Then the majority of STAUNCH Paul supporters, greatly interested in HONOR, will shirk their civic duty and NOT vote because their guy lost in the primaries, or QUIT!

    If Paul is out, WILL YOU VOTE?

    If Romney is out, I will vote.
    If Santorum is out, I will vote.
    If Gingrich is out, I will vote.
    If Paul is out, or in, I will vote.

    I'm an American citizen, it IS my duty to vote.

    I kind of want Paul to win an enact his economic policies. At least after the destruction of the economy people would finally put these idiotic ideologies to rest. I would sacrifice this suffering for the good of the future.

    1) are you seriously asking what Paul has stood for over most other Senators/Representatives during his time in office?

    2) I will not vote for Santorum, Gingrich, Romney or Obama.

    And it is your duty to (imo) vote only if you believe the available candidates will not damage America.

    So, if the only two candidates that run for POTUS will damage America (in your opinion)...you would still vote for one of them?
