Nice Try Mitt Romney LOL!!

[marcojuiceman]

TAMPA -- Mitt Romney's presidential campaign gave Texas Rep. Ron Paul a chance to speak at the Republican National Convention, but he declined due to the conditions of the offer, the New York Times reports:

Mr. Paul, in an interview, said convention planners had offered him an opportunity to speak under two conditions: that he deliver remarks vetted by the Romney campaign, and that he give a full-fledged endorsement of Mr. Romney. He declined.
"It wouldn't be my speech," Mr. Paul said. "That would undo everything I've done in the last 30 years. I don't fully endorse him for president."

Republicans plan to show a tribute video honoring the the retiring libertarian politician Tuesday at the convention. Paul is also holding his own rally nearby on Sunday afternoon.

An endorsement from RP! This is huge, thanks for posting!

[Sam Odom]

If Paul would have won enough delegates to secure the nomination I'm sure he would've allowed everyone to say whatever they wanted to say without vetting it beforehand

"to the victor go the spoils."

[BuddyBear]

He should just give them a fake speech and that suits the Romney campaign and then say whatever he wants up there. What are they going to do, sue him if he says something they don't like.

Ron Paul can sure fill a stadium

[Shaudius]

Despite what a lot of people think, Ron Paul is already shackled by the Republican Party. He won't say and do what he really wants because he wants his son, Rand, who is frankly more personable than him, to have a shot at some position of power in the Republican Party.

[Boner_18]

I don't fully endorse him for president.

That is an endorsement. He partially endorses him for president. Huge!

Welcome to the winning team Ron Paul supporters.

Free Market supporters like the Pauls don't really fit in the Republican party but they wouldn't even be able to breathe in the Democratic party, so they have to shoe-horn their way into the GOP and hope for a future.

poor Ron. his own party hates him. his own party also hates Mitt. lol

Unlike the Cory Bookers in the Dem Party

[Sam Odom]

Ron Paul sometimes comes off as the 'crazy uncle' in the basement but that's OKay with me... But too many of his followers are bat-shit looney

[King Mayan]

Of course the cons that follow rush limbaugh aren't bat shit looney

holy shit.

[Sam Odom]

Of course the cons that follow rush limbaugh aren't bat shit looney

And... Mittens wasnt their 1st , 2nd and in many cases 3rd choice

But they will vote for Romney... Ron Paul followers are waiting on the Mother Ship to land at Area 51 to rescue them

You mean his followers want a candidate that actually stand on the principles of the Constitution and not someone who just flops on Key issues just to get votes Let me introduce you to Romney

[Sam Odom]

Your hero marcojuiceman... prime example of what I mean

I rest my case

[Boner_18]

Is partial greater than zero? Yes. He endorses Mitt Romney. You fail to grasp the plain meaning of the words your candidate chose. A full-fledged endorsement it is not. But something greater than no endorsement is an endorsement nonetheless. Thanks Ron!

[Shaudius]

What the heck does that have to do with a thread about Ron Paul's relationship to Mitt Romney and the Republican Party at large.

I know you're just some partisan hack who sees Democratic demons everywhere but I mean come on. Did you see me saying, "unlike people in the Democratic Party who fully support all their members." No.

[d2bets]

So basically Paul can speak as long as Romney can act as his ventriloquist with his hand up his ass. Unreal.

Word is he's gotten some behind the scenes concessions, most notably his audit the Fed position, into the party platform in order for the party to appear unified at the convention. For Sam Odom because he'll probably claim I'm being partisan now, Hillary Clinton got similar in 2008.

Dummy... Every major political party in the world , organization , corporation and even an internet sports forum have an hierarchy and members of those groups must play along with the folks in charge or be extricated

Just like I said in post #3... If Paul was the nominee he would run the show and censor who he wanted unless they toed the line as ObamaCo did with Booker

Now STFU and go get your shine-box , bitch

[Sam Odom]

"Unreal"

Are you really this fukking stupid ?

When was the last time a pro-life dem spoke at a dem convention ? Unreal

Which is totally not the point that I was making. The point that I was making is that Ron Paul doesn't care for his own sake, he cares for the sake of his son. Its the same reason he won't run as a third-party candidate. He doesn't care about himself being kicked out of the Republican Party he cares about the future of his son in the party which is a fairly unique position which is why it bears mentioning and is directly relevant to this thread unlike your interjection about someone in the Democratic Party who doesn't share the same circumstances I was pointing out in particular about Ron Paul.

[Sam Odom]

Which is totally not the point that I was making.

Yes it was...

The repub hierarchy is controlling Ron via Rand - party politic blackmail if you will

[marcojuiceman]

Your hero marcojuiceman... prime example of what I mean

When was the last time your God loving Fox News actually reported News instead of Propaganda??
what happened to Fair and Balance is more like their way or the highway..
I would whether get my news from a chimp in Africa than a Corrupt media outlet only in favor of continuing interviewing Nut Jobs and Military Industrial Complex loving Congressman who only agenda is to destroy America one un-balanced bil at a time that includes Mitt

[marcojuiceman]

Click youtube link in my first post watch comments.. Let me help you out No to Obamaney = Romney and Obama Goggle It

[Boner_18]

Don't need to. Unless what you posted is not a direct quote, he partially endorses Mitt.

We look forward to RP voters support! Thanks for the endorsement Ron! Let us know when you can fully endorse, but meanwhile thanks!!

[Turd Ferguson]

When was the last time a pro-life dem spoke at a dem convention ? Unreal

That would've been Bob Casey jr in 2008.

"Barack Obama and I have an honest disagreement on the issue of abortion," Casey told the delegates. "But the fact that I'm speaking here tonight is testament to Barack's ability to show respect for the views of people who may disagree with him."

[Sam Odom]

Thanks Turd , you made my point... Obama the nominee allowed him to speak as Casey pointed out

Of course that was 'no blue states , no red states' Obama

[Turd Ferguson]

Thanks Turd , you made my point... Obama the nominee allowed him to speak as Casey pointed out

Good comeback
