Running mates? Discuss.

Seems like a possibility....

Romney as VP I could accept but not the other way around

No way Jose. Im sure you saw where Paul was completely opposed to the idea. There is probably some back door negotiating as to who the ads go after and I wouldn't be surprised if more rumors came up to try and shake Paul's followers up by implying that he is just as much as part of the system as the rest. I thought it was funny in the last debate when Santorum came up with some study saying that Ron was less conservative that the rest of them, yea right. And for running mates I'm sure that judge Napolitano is the running since he didn't deny it when asked and Ron Paul himself "suggested" it. Talk about a strong ticket and I would love to see what his cabinet would look like. No more Fed chairman since the Fed would be put in the Treasury and we would have on less bureaucrat. Whoo hoo!

I wouldn't accept it either way. There is too much of a difference in philosophies. I don't trust Romney. All I'm going to do is list top 5 Mitt Romney's campaign contributors:

1. Goldman Sachs - $521,180
2. JP Morgan Cahse & Co. - $356,400
3. Morgan Stanley - $297,500
4. Credit Suisse Group - $296,160
5. Citigroup - $280,050
6. Bank of America - $245,900

Make that six contributors. So, what financial reform can you expect from Romney? He is already a bought-politician. I tell all my friends this and this is the real kicker: Candidates can BS on national television all the time, they make false promises and what have you. You know their real intentions by finding whose donations they accept. This is all you have to do!

These are Ron Paul's top contributors:

1. US Army - $81,423
2. US Air Force - $60,739
3. US Navy - $58,267
4. Google Inc - $34,191
5. Microsoft - $24,698
6. US Dept. of Defence - $22,821
7. IBM - $21,898
8. Boeing Co, - $20,986
9. Liberty PAC (Ron Paul) - $20,000
10. Corriente Advisors - $20,000

And the list goes on, not a single bank or any financial institution. Even though I'm a Canadian citizen I'm not allowed to contribute directly to his campaign. However, I did contribute by buying his books and a really cool hoodie!

So, there you have it, I can trust Ron Paul with financial reform because he owes nothing!!! to the banks, I don't buy Romney and whatever he claims how he can save the USD.

Ron Paul came and gave a talk in our little town. I was four rows back center. I doubt there is any credence to talks about an Unholy alliance if I've ever seen one. If the dimmdogs in our civilisation don't get behind Dr. Paul I believe he will sideline it. I hope he does not endorse any of the three stooges!

I don't think he would ever endorse any of them. This country is full of idiots, or 'peasants' too concerned about the pebbles in their sandals to dig deep and right the ship of state. So, I don't have much faith that Paul will be nominee, despite the fact the he is EXACTLY what the country needs. There's also too many card carrying, GOP status-quo members who would never vote for that man the lame-stream media calls a radical.

I agree that Dr. Paul should be our candidate, but if TPTB refuse to allow it to happen I have to think I would rather have him as VP than nothing at all. If God forbid something happened to Romney at least in that event we would all have what we hoped for. I am just a little pessimistic that the majority of the Republican voting sheeple will see the light before it's too late.

romney/paul wouldnt happen, dr.paul would have nothing to do with it..

Have you seen the YouTube video, "When Mitt Romney Came To Town"? I can't understand how any American could vote for him or anybody but Ron Paul. I've been unemployed for 170 weeks and I'm sending every penny I'm not putting in PM's or using to eat to Ron Paul! Paul and the Judge. That's my vote and if they dick around with it, someone's going to get hurt!

In all the years that I have voted, I have NEVER voted for a candidate that I actually want to win. I refuse to vote for the "lesser of two evils" ever again. I have taken a vow this year to write in Ron Paul. I know that the two parties are basically the same. When the democrats win they are thrilled! when the Republicans win, the Democrats are secretly thrilled! Ron Paul is the only hope that we have.

It would NEVER happen!

One of them total kook with a bunch of crazy ideas that will never work and a suicidal foreign policy who is absolutely UN-ELECTABLE; the other is Ron Paul!

Ron Paul is the only person speaking any sense in Washington. However he has ties to the JBS Jesuits and the women in his immediate family are in the Order of the Eastern Star, and his father was a freemason. While Dr. Paul has said he is not a freemason, he also said he respects them, and has not specifically answered about his family's ties to the order. I think he is here to keep us complacent. Voting is not the way to effect change.

This dude says it like it is:

Just watched this vid that addresses the topic:

If it were Romney/Paul, personally I would pass.

I might be able to stomach the other way around.

So, the 2012 Election rolls around. You can check one of two options, which one is it:

Obama/Biden

Romney/Paul

You may select only one.

You are really going to PASS????

I am voting for whoever the Libertarian Candidate is, or the Independent I most align with.

I prefer not to vote for someone just because of the letter after their name. That being said, I would pass on Romney/Paul as the VP has little to no meaning. He is pretty much a "sit and wait".

I don't think Paul would accept being a VP nomination either. I think for Paul it is President or bust.

I don't think having Obama in would be better, but I am not sure I want Romney to lead either.

IMO RP should ask someone like Dennis Kucinich to be his VP running mate. These guys are on the same page on most issues and it would blow the left right paradigm apart attracting many disilusioned Democrats, watch out Obama!!

There is absolutely no deal between Ron Paul & Romney. RP cannot be bought or enticed

if it were to happen you could vote for romney/paul and hope romney resigns or becomes ill or something..

I would pass on it. I am not the person who votes for the lesser of two evils.

I'm English and I happen to find American politics facinating, hence my post.
I am not overly fond of Obama, I absolutely detest Mitt Romney the corporate raider, and I have grown to love Ron Paul.
I have always thought of him as being scatty, but that is the fault of the US lamestream media.
But having listened to what he has to say, he has become my candidate, though of course I cannot vote for him.
I wish he hadn't held up the silver eagle to the Ben Bernanke though, as the resultant raid on the gold price almost cleared me out on my long positions. Probably safer sticking to the physical.
VP for RP, not sure really, how about Allen West? Go RON PAUL!

The folks who count the votes are the ones who pick your president. In spite of that, I will write in Ron Paul just so I can shave.
I cannot conceive of any scenario where Ron Paul would get in bed with any of the bought and paid for chameleons. If he did accept the VP nomination (an eventuality I cannot envision,) I would still write him as my pick for president.
