Breaking: Santorum campaign says Ron Paul to be Romney VP

I would vote for a Romney Paul ticket and I'm a Democrat.

NEVER!!!! Ron Paul as a VP would be a trophy wife. A patronizing, pandering to constitutional conservatives (like me)!

Romney is an elitist PHUCK! He is less conservative than Bill Clinton.

This hoax was probably launched by the Romney camp to stop the Santorum momentum since they know the only true energized base is for RP!

Democrats love Romney! He's not a conservative by any stretch of the imagination. Ron Paul would be a hood ornament.

It will never happen. Ron Paul's principles are to high.

:ronpaul2012:

I don't know why everyone keeps saying that the vice president has no power. Under the Constitution, the Vice President is President of the United States Senate.In that capacity, he is allowed to vote in the Senate when necessary to break a tie. While Senate customs have created supermajority rules that have diminished this Constitutional power, the Vice President still retains the ability to influence legislation (e.g. the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005).

Ron Paul won't support Romney and neither will I.

Cheney ran the Country from his VP! Bush was the idiot Puppet!

I hate to be the only sane one in the room, but WE ALL KNOW RON PAUL IS NOT GETTING THE NOMINATION.

Now, with this out of the way and the scores of RP supporter nuts who think he can still be nominated by the republican party even though he goes against everything they stand for all the time, what's the next best thing? If he can't be Prez, he can be vice prez, have at least some voice on the national stage greater than what he has now, and help to offset the extreme mantra that the nation has seen the last 6 years or so in swings back and forth in political thought.

So my question is, why the hell not have him for VP? Why not vote for that ticket? Is it really going to be better without him on it? I'd think you all would be begging for him to be there, as a better solution than the "better of two evils" approach that will be done if Romney is the candidate and picks a generic VP. Let's change it up for once!

Sounds like the rantings of a Romney supporter. When was the last time a VP did or said ANYTHING that made a difference?

Paul has received alot more votes than we know about, Romney knows this and needs his supporters to beat Obama

Too bad it wouldn't be Paul President and Romney VP. It will be a win for either guy if Paul is in.

I think they could win easily.

When was the last time Ron Paul actually had a realistic chance of getting the republican nomination? I'm a huge RP supporter, I'm just also a realistic person rather than an unrealistic supporter. You sound like someone who doesn't like to face facts, but instead lives in a dream...

If Romney could pull that off, he's the man.

You're on the highway to hell.

Ron Paul would eat his own excrement sooner....Ron Paul WOULD NEVER I MEAN NEVER be a VP to a Main Stream Canadate like Romney, Romney don't want him and Ron Paul is better than that slick business ass whipe.

actually the longer this thing draws out and the more i see obama doing/not doing, i would actually vote for that ticket, even though it would shock the living hell out of me if paul accepted a spot with romney.

BUT i will say that having paul as VP would probably be the best thing romney could do.

my hope would be that paul as VP could make romney start changing his views (god knows he's done it before) but this time get him to start moving in the right direction. as a business man i think romney, with a little direction from a constitutionalist like paul, could just start to make some headway in getting this country back going the direction it needs to.

No way I will ever believe the GOP will let Paul on the ticket in any form or fashion. I even doubt the would allow Rand either. The VP will be a status quo GOP candidate, I'm guessing a minority would be likely, maybe Jindal.

noone is getting the nomination without Pauls delegates, so paul is going to get offered SOMETHING

But if you think about it, it would be brilliant. RP has been pushing his ideas for years - and has been very pleased that the "mainstream" is giving him some credence this time around - he yearns to be mainstream. Paul knows he's not going to get the nomination. What would be the second best thing for him and for Rand's future in politics? A Romney/Paul ticket - he could stay in the thick of things and help to shape decisions. Romney knows that Santorum & Gingrich supporters are standard GOP fare and will vote for him in November. Paul supporters, on the other hand, are younger or swing voters - who will they support? Many will write in Paul, vote for Obama, or just not vote at all. Any of those is a vote for Obama in the end.


On Tuesday, I had a political survey call asking who I was voting for on March 6 (Georgia). I pushed the button for RP. Then they asked if your candidate didn't get the nomination, who would I vote for (all the other GOP candidates were listed) - I voted "other" which is to assume that I would either vote for Obama, not vote, or write in Paul. The GOP must be shuddering that so many are indicating thusly or it wouldn't even consider a Romney/Paul ticket. Let's put some pressure on these GOP goofs to do the right thing for once. Romney/Paul - I could dig it.

Correct. Everyone keeps telling me I should not support Ron Paul because he is 'unelectable'. They can't understand that he even believes his candidacy is not about him winning, but about sowing the seeds of the movement. Someone will come along that is more charasmatic that espouses the same ideals...

You're a fucking moron.

If you can find videos from either the 2nd or 3rd debate, you will see Mittens breeze past the other contenders at the end and head right to RP to shake his hand. Caught my attention back then and struck me as odd. After that RP was given more respect by the candidates in future debates when they deferred to him on constitutional issues and their was less snickering by moderators and candidates alike. Remember?

The only fact I know is that we are closing in on 16.000,000,000,000 in immediate debt. Not counting Medicare, Social Security, etc.

Romney WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. Paul is our only true solution. If he does not get the nomination, it really doesn't matter too much between Romney and Obummer. Romney is more liberal than Bill Clinton was.
