We were constantly told Romney was 'electable' and that's why we had to support him over Ron Paul. It is a Faustian pact with the devil to select the 'lesser evil' to win anything. You might call it 'pragmatic', I call it wrong.
But the ironic thing is that Ron Paul could have won - I say again, I had never seen such a diversity of support for a Republican. Young, old, workers, businessmen, men, women, independants, all races. I rarely see such intensity of support. Romney never matched it.
Rupublicans earned their defeat - they will need to select next time a candidate for
all the people - not a rich man who, rightly or wrongly, was thought to be out of touch with the common man. Ron was different - Ron Paul is a humble medical Doctor and a veteran. His life spoke consistency and honesty.
God bless America, we will need it, even if we don't always deserve it. God bless Ron Paul who most likely will be unable to run again. Maybe God will send us more like him.
And pray for Obama that he will be a better President than he has been.
"Given the closeness of the election in several key states, particularly Ohio — the state that put the President over the top — support from Paul’s voters would have made the difference. Ron got
over 113,000 votes there in the GOP primary."
