Romney: I Would Vote for Ron Paul over Obama

GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney said Wednesday he would vote for Ron Paul over President Barack Obama, a day after Newt Gingrich said voting for either of the two “would be a very bad choice for America.”

Romney made his comments to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, who asked whether he would vote for Paul if the Texas congressman were to win the Republican nomination.

“You know I’ve already crossed that river, if you will, by saying on the stage a number of times — as I believe Speaker Gingrich has — that all of the people on stage would be superior to the president we have,” Romney said. “So yes, I would vote for him.”

Pressed about Paul’s stance on security issues, particularly his statements about a nuclear-capable Iran, the former Massachusetts governor added that he disagrees with “a lot” of what the Texas congressman says.

“I don’t agree with a lot of the things that Ron Paul says and I would vehemently oppose many of his initiatives,” Romney said, adding that he believes Paul could be moved “in a direction that’s more productive.”

Blitzer asked, “So you think Ron Paul would be a better president than Barack Obama?”

“I have said that and I think Newt Gingrich has said the same thing on the stage when we’ve spoken about our Republican contenders,” Romney said. He added, “This is not a race about people on the stage who I don’t think should be the nominee — my race is about getting me to become the nominee.”

    Michele Bachmann chair defects to Ron Paul
    By ALEXANDER BURNS |
    12/28/11 8:27 PM EST

    In a shock announcement Wednesday night, Iowa state senator and onetime Michele Bachmann campaign leader Kent Sorenson declared that he is now supporting Ron Paul for president.

    Sorenson made the announcement at a Paul rally with veterans here in Des Moines, telling the crowd: “I believe we’re at a turning point in this campaign.”

    Calling the decision to abandon Bachmann a painful one, Sorenson said he felt obligated to join Paul as the “Republican establishment” tries to undermine his campaign.

    “I thought it was my duty to come to his aid, just like he came to my aid during my Senate race, which was a very nasty race,” Sorenson said, pledging to go all-out for Paul over the next few days.

    To cheers from the crowd, he continued: “We’re going to take Ron Paul all the way to the White House.”

      Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson ended his Republican presidential bid Wednesday, opting to run as the Libertarian Party’s candidate for president. He is encouraging supporters, however, to vote for Texas Rep. Ron Paul in upcoming GOP primary elections.

      Johnson told The Daily Caller that his supporters should vote for Paul in primaries, but support his own candidacy in the general election.

      “Yeah,” he told TheDC when asked if he believes supporters should vote for Paul — with whom he shares many libertarian policy positions.

      @13th: hate to say it but I believe Young may be correct. With the President set to ask for another $1.2 trillion increase in the debt ceiling within the coming weeks, it will lead to another downgrade, falling stocks, and then it gets interesting. All the money that’s been digitized by the Fed, but held from circulation might come into play to assuage doubts in the public’s minds, but then we instantly see the inflation spring in. At that point the $100 bill is worth $50 and a $3 gallon of gas is $6. It gets worse with scarcity of products as people rush to get their prep on. When that happens it’ll be NDAA time. The solution to the problem already exists. They’re just setting the for the house of cards to fall according to their timeline. I sincerely hope my “wargaming” scenario is 180 degrees off.

      Sad thing is… Romney would do all that, too, yet, because he was never in Congress, there‘s no ’record of votes’ to look up. All we have is his time as Mass Gov and his ‘excuse’ is that he was a ‘R’ in a ‘D’ state so had to ‘conform’. I think he‘s really a ’D‘ pretending to be a ’R’ (RINO) and was more than happy to govern as he did. But will the rest of the country wake up to that in time? I pray they do.

    The Neo-cons (Newt) and the Democrats are basically the same. Both parties are warmongers and are for big central state governments. This is why Obama is going to approve yet another 1.2 TRILLION budget debt increase in a few days. The Neo-cons will do nothing about it.

    Recent world developments indicate that we could soon be in a military conflict with Iran. There goes another 10 trillion dollars and how many lives lost yet again? Can people not see that we are bankrupting ourselves by being the world cops? Walk through the Vietnam memorial in D.C. 10 times like I have and then tell me if that war that took 58,178 U.S. military lives and wounded 153,452 was worth it.

    Now you tell me which candidate is the best choice for president! Sounds like Ron Paul is the best choice to me.

I think Newt was waaaaay wrong to imply he would vote for Obama instead of Paul; or whatever he meant. He blew it on that one. There are some, perhaps many that will waste their vote because of their guy/gal not being their champion. That‘s recipe for good ole golfin’ Barry to have at it for another 4 years.

By voting for a man who would not abide by our Constitution solely on the basis that he has been shown to compete well against the current “President” by a progressive and federally regulated media, you are not upholding that oath to your fullest. There is only one candidate that even attempts to live by the Constitution and that is Ron Paul. You can vote for whosoever you choose, but you will have to live with your own conscience when your children and grandchildren are forced to live in poverty and their labor is all but owned by the state in order to pay back the debt that the men you elected to serve you drive us even further into debt and inflate our fiat currency.

      I completely agree with you, V-Man.

      Fox News has been firing anti-Ron-Paul rhetoric at a fierce pace lately using their ever-faithful hack news contributors. They’ve all but given up on trying to coopt the Tea Party. It’s like V-Man said, “OMG, Paul’s Gonna Win, Do Something” campaign.
      Independents for the most part decide elections, and polls suggest the majority favor Ron Paul.

      Virginia Gov Bob McDonnell has helped usher in the use of a decade old law that, until now, wasn’t utilized. They’ve just begun using the rule that every GOP primary candidate must have at least 400 signatures in every district to get on the ballot. Some coincidental stroke of luck/genius that pits Paul against Romney as the only two candidates on the Virginia ballot. Now the GOP establishment won’t have to worry about a 3 or 4 way split of they GOP voters that would give Ron Paul a likely victory. Unscrupulous! Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli isn’t taking it laying down. Ken will also be running for Va. Gov..
      Hold to the truth! No matter how unbelievable it might seem. As Americans we have to prove to ourselves that we’re capable of controling our governments. The constitution provides a clear method of doing that. Ron Paul has not wavered. He’s just the man. And the contempt from the media only proves it.
      Tea Party 2012!

      You’re aware that the Tea Party began as a Ron Paul movement, which frightened the establishment with the 6 million dollar-in-one-day money bomb that kick started the movement?

      A lot of people believe, that Fox news brought in a certain host to help pry the movement away from Paul, and toward “Republican” tea partiers, who actually were just meant as a diversion.

      Ever wonder why all those “tea partiers” that came in in the last election, aside from Rand Paul, all voted for the NDAA?

      Of course, if you start to look at their records it gets a little tricky trying to wrap your mind around why they’ve voted the way they have.

      Here is a Ron Paul video, from ten years ago. Listen to it. All of it. Listen to his prediction about the Arab Spring. The economy. All of it.

      These other “tea partiers”, literally came out of the woodwork and took over. Yet, none of them in reality wants to address the core problems. They just want you to vote against Obama, and the “liberals”.

      CONSERVATIVE CHARLIE..I believe he is. I read a couple of evenings ago where Romney was lining up with Paul saying he wanted to bring all of our troops home,,and the interviewers inbox was flooded with e-mails wanting to stay policing the world which is costing us one trillion a year..and allowing a takeover of our government and education system by Communist/Islamists..The only remedy to our financial meltdown is to adopt a foreign policy like Pauls. Adherence to the Constitution has the power to turn this country around..with the help of God.. Five or six of the men who wrote it had seminary or bible school degrees.
