Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

RENO, NEV. — The remaining candidates in the winnowed Republican presidential field are attacking one another with abandon, each day bringing fresh headlines of accusations and outrage.
But Mitt Romney and Ron Paul haven’t laid a hand on each other.
They never do.
Despite deep differences on a range of issues, Romney and Paul became friends in 2008, the last time both ran for president. So did their wives, Ann Romney and Carol Paul. The former Massachusetts governor compliments the Texas congressman during debates, praising Paul’s religious faith during the last one, in Jacksonville, Fla. Immediately afterward, as is often the case, the Pauls and the Romneys gravitated toward one another to say hello.
....
Romney’s aides are “quietly in touch with Ron Paul,†according to a Republican adviser who is in contact with the Romney campaign and spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss its internal thinking. The two campaigns have coordinated on minor things, the adviser said — even small details, such as staggering the timing of each candidate’s appearance on television the night of the New Hampshire primary for maximum effect.
Important:
“It would be very foolish for anybody in the Republican Party to dismiss a very real constituency,†said one senior GOP aide in Washington who is familiar with both camps. “Ron Paul plays a very valuable part in the process and brings a lot of voters toward the Republican Party and ultimately into the voting booth, and that’s something that can’t be ignored.â€
I think most Paul supporters (the Aerlinth type) are frightening but the above quote is very true. It would be unwise for the party to neglect Paul if he doesnt secure the nomination and alienate such a fervent block of voters. Newt saying he wouldn't vote for Paul if he were to be the nominee was a big mistake, in that regard.

Ron Paul is not a poor man, therefore, Romney cares for him.

They have a lot of the same politics, for subsidizing big oil, for bigger government, for higher deficit spending, for universal health care for rich whites.

Truth, which is why I have been saying they are all exactly the same candidate with minor differences
Obama = half black
Romney = half mexican
Paul = Believes aliens blew up tower 7 or some crazy sh&t like that
Gingrich = white
Pretty much the only differences.

All the president is these days is a face for different committees controlled by the establishments. It doesn't matter who is elected its just a guy giving a speech for the elites that run the country.

If Mitt can bring in Paul's constituency, he's got a real shot.
