Mr. Pawlenty, You are right about RONPAUL being the last man to broker a back room deal, He is the First Man to do it this election season, A nice VP spot on the ticket for Rand.

If you can’t trust a 25 year record of NEVER selling out and taking the lumps that come with that, you will never trust anyone.  Only Ron Paul has a record like that.

Some time he may be faced with fall back choices to maximize his message if he doesn’t win the nomination, and he has said as much, but with Super Tuesday and Washington state coming up, that time isn’t nearly yet.

I tend to think that Dr. Ron Paul would not enter into such an agreement unless it were for a long,prime time slot speaking at the convention. He loves to preach his message, and he honestly believes it a worthwhile message.

There’s another possibility. His son, Ayn Rand Paul is just starting his political career. Willard is as amoral as anyone I’ve seen in political office since Nixxon. I can see Willard saying, unless you tone it down, Ayn Rand’s career ends before it begins.

 Spending millions for a meaningless speech…

it could be far-fetched, but it’s not wholly inconsistent with Libertarians, is it? True believers who often seem to believe more in the conceptual than the practical. That’s not a criticism. It’s a reflection on different priorities. And, I think we all buy into some of the Libertarian concepts.

It is beyond irritating what Joe scarsborough does on his show to Ron Paul.  Day after day he ignores Ron Paul but when he makes accusations instead of inviting RP’s people on his show to clear things up he decides to make unproven allegations.  

This morning he was talking about the plans of the republican candidates’ budget that a group said would increase the debt except Ron Paul’s. Instead of saying that Paul’s plan was the exceptions he said ALL of the candidates plan would increase the deficit and discussed everyone plan but Paul. I wanted to reach to my TV and kick him in the balls. 

Flat screen or CRT?

Then explain the Accommodation between Willard and RONPAUL, and;

Rand Paul Says ‘It Would Be An Honor’ if Romney Asked Him to Be VP…..

Political things like this don’t happen in a vacuum, and with out clearances between politicals.

Doug Wead specifically said that Santorum was lying about Paul in SC and at CPAC and is fighting back. Romney treats Ron with more respect than the other 2 and there really was no opportunity to attack Mitt without going out of his way to do so. These journalists are not even doing any research and seem to just parrot whatever Rush says. That isn’t journalism.

a reporter ASKED him. So he said it would be an honor to be considered.  What would you have said? 

Let’ not forget that the Republican’s WOST NIGHTMARE is a Ron Paul third party run on the Libertarian ticket with 50 State ballot access!

Game Over.

Ron Paul might be the only Republican I would vote for over Obama. Unfortunately, as much as I’m willing to compromise my positions on government programs, the Republicans aren’t willing to compromise on creating a police state at home & a military state abroad. I guess I’ll just have to vote for Obama since voting for Republicans equates to a plutocratic, misogynistic, racist, militaristic, & theocratic regime.

 Ron
Paul doesn’t need the GOP convention for a platform. He doesn’t have any problem filling arenas to share his message that
the Constitution and Bill of Rights was a pretty great idea. Ron Paul has had
thousands of voters show up at events in Washington State, Idaho, and
Missouri in the past two weeks, and this weekend he’s packing arenas in
Michigan. In 2008, he filled an arena across town from the GOP
Convention when the morons running the party snubbed him and his
supporters.

Media reaction: *crickets*

Meanwhile, Mittens Romneycare is drawing “crowds” of 300 to events.
Romney has zero grassroots support. He is propped up entirely by the
Democrat-controlled media, who will enjoy watching him lose to Obama,
and massive donations from Wall Street investment banks (the same ones that got all the bailouts.) His operatives stole Iowa, Nevada and Maine after losing three in a row.Media reaction: “Mittens is the undisputed frontrunner!!!! He’s so dreamy! Look at his hair!!! What election fraud? Move along, nothing to see here!”

If Pawlenty had said something as smart 6 months ago, he might’ve lasted an extra debate…

Just as a note: His son’s name is Randal. He was not named after Ayn Rand.

 That’s awfully harsh

It’s both parties creating the police state at home & the military empire abroad. It’s not just Republicans & its not just Democrats. Obama has been very successful in undermining our civil liberties – just as Bush did.

I agree with you about Ron Paul. He’s the only guy out of all of them who has correctly identified the problems we’re faced with and has any solution oriented plan. Everyone else, including Obama will simply make things worse.

Romney has absolutely no influence or control over Rand’s career what so ever. To assume otherwise is operating under clouded judgement. Rand got to where he is without Romney and there is no question that he’ll continue to advance his career whether Willard extends a cabinet position to Rand or not.

Make no mistake about this election. These established candidates need the Ron Paul support – not the other way around.

It’s to early for questions like this.

RONPAUL Has been in Washington for over 2 decades, He isn’t a outsider, He is a politician.

Libertarian “Concepts”? You are on a different planet if you think we don’t live/have lived with natural Libertarian “Concepts” just as much as we have lived under Socialistic, Communist “Concepts”. Only Libertarianism deals with man’s natural trade, and right to private property and ownership of themselves.

I see what you did there.

I think a few good cabinet members would be Ron Paul, Jon Huntsman, Tim Palenty, Jesse Ventura, and Judge Napolitano 

Ron Paul: Absolutely NO DEAL with Romney.

why would Rand Paul want to be VP. He is one of the Few talking sense in the Senate.  also figure it out.. the CFR isn’t a Freind to the Paul family. they have no intrest in buddy buddy with the Globalist who want to slice America up into 10 Federal Zones.. 

Personally i hope Obama bombs your Kid. calls him a Partisan,puts him on a kill list and bombs your family at the Bar B Que. and we can all just call you Terrorist. 

It would be an Honor if the Republican Party choose him to be VP ..its the same thing Marco Rubio said.. Damn. what is with your Morons. that you have to tear down the good people.. Santorum,Gingirch and Romeny are all in agreement . Raise Retirement age, Cut Entitlements and wage more war.. oh and give Cuba mountains of Aid.. Santorium said himself raise Retirement way past 70 and make social security only for Poor Seniors that way they can keep looting the trust fund to bomb bomb bomb someone. 

If the Republicans nominate Paul I’ll vote for him. I don’t see that happening though.

Not happening, the Libertarian National Convention is earlier than the Republican one

Yes, I love the rabid defense of RONPAUL, by the Paulistas, The Emperor can do no wrong, His will is divine……BANZI! —–BANZAI!—-BANZAI!!!!!RONPAUL has been in and out of congress for 36 years, and What Has He really accomplished?

Other than His on little fiefdom of power, And now the time is right, The Iron is Hot, Time to strike, become the King Maker and get a slot for His Son, and a shot at becoming the power behind the throne.

36 year, in Washington and as part of the Republican Establishment………… RONPAUL is above all a Politician .

Pawlenty struggled to give that answer, he was hesitant and nervous. I’m not freaked out about the alleged deal, I just think it  compromises Ron Paul’s uber libertarian status to support the candidate who seems the  least likely to do anything about Obama care or NCLB

As a resident of Minnesota, I can testify that Pawlenty is nothing but a RINO Republican opportunist who is looking for a plush political position in a Romney administration.  His words and opinions have zero credibility with me.

Why…what would Jesus say???

Since NO other candidates would cut a deal with Romney, Ron would be “the last person” – either true or false?
