On Friday, former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe where he discussed a variety of topics including the alleged “back room deal” between Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. Pawlenty defended the Texas congressman, however, stating that Paul would be the last person in politics to to cut such a deal:
I know Mitt and I know Ron Paul, I really don’t believe there’s any deal … Think about Ron Paul cutting a deal as an insider to get some political favors … Probably the last person to ‘cut a back room deal’ in American politics would be Ron Paul.
He added:
Can you imagine in today’s world where everything is in the public, if more than one person knows about it, everyone knows about it, 24-hour intense media scrutiny. Then you drag Ron Paul into a back room and say, ‘hey, Ron, you do this and I’ll give you a favor.’ … It’d be all over the news.

Yes, you are a listener; as I, and I appreciate that. If you pull up Levin’s show (first hour) from yesterday, it is all there. Definitely, stuff I had not known about Paul, Rothbard or that Rockwell fellow.

Posted on February 24, 2012 at 8:17pmProblem with Mark Levin is he makes assumptions more than any other talk show host I have ever seen. Though I have been saying for a long time the Romney would be smart to put a Paul in his administration, that way it would cut out a third party run and most of the libertarians would vote for the Republican candidate.
Mark on the other hand is saying, “see see I was right” since he said it two days ago. Yet there is no proof their is any organization what so ever. Mark plays it out as proven and that is what is wrong with him and his rhetoric.

One thing I can say that most Paul folks won’t; I will vote for Romney if he’s on the ticket. In fact, I will use my radio show to promote him over Obama each morning show. I don’t like the guy, I think he’s a back-bencher; I also know that he is far from a true conservative; but I will not be one of the idiots that sits this one out cuz my crazy uncle couldn’t get it done.

Posted on February 24, 2012 at 8:26pmMark Levin has a Ron Paul complex. He spends 30 minutes a day focusing on his interpretation of Ron Paul. Notice this is time he COULD be talking about his candidate or obama. Levin pretends to be a strict constitutionalist but he is against 90% of what Ron Paul says. Maybe Levin just hates competition

“There can be no minimizing the abolition of slavery, and that it was an enormously significant result of the war. But one may certainly ask whether the abolition of slavery had to be brought about in a manner that resulted in 1.5 million people dead, wounded, or missing; overwhelming material devastation; the undermining of the concept of civilized warfare; and the destruction of the American constitutional order in a way that forever strengthened the federal government at the expense of the self-governing rights of the states. Every other country in the Western hemisphere that abolished slavery in the nineteenth century did so peacefully. It is rather unflattering to assume that Americans were so savage that they were the only people for whom a negotiated settlement of the slave issue was simply impossible.”

Here is a translation of your post:
One thing I can say that most Paul folks wont. I will sacrifice any principles I might have had, and vote for the establishment candidate because the TEEVEE told me too. The nice bimbo in a mini skirt at Fox News told me that Romney is a winner, and I’m too stupid and cowardly to think for myself, so I just let the TEEVEE do my thinking for me. It’s not easy going along with the herd, supporting a known flip flopper that changes his opinions which ever way the wind blows, so I will try to denigrate Paul supporters for voting principle over party. It makes me feel much better about being a spineless lemming. I’m so blinded by the “anyone but Ohmamma” BS, that any critical thinking skills have gone completely out the window. YAY corrupt GOP establishment!!! YAY Rush, Shammity, Levin, and Beck!!

Posted on February 24, 2012 at 9:00pmWhy is it Paul has no problem calling the Catholic a fake. But has not once called Romney a socialist for his healthcare policy in Massachusetts.
Paul is nothing more than an old school liberal, who thinks Romney is more like him than the other candidates.
His failure to attack Romney as the progressive that he is, means he doesn’t really know what is going on in our country today. Maybe he is becoming a little out of touch in his later years.
Plus I can’t support someone who wishes to allow drugs to become legal in a country where my teenagers are living. We can‘t allow the temptations of drugs to be so overwhelming that our children don’t have a fighting chance at living a life free of addiction and abuse.

No president can make drugs legal – a president can only remove the federal ban on drugs. Only the states have the power to make drugs legal or illegal. Since drugs are NOWHERE mentioned in the constitution, the decision should be left to the states… That is the same principle we apply to obamacare (remember?).
Conservatives cannot pick and choose which issues to apply the constitution – we have to be consistent. If you do not like that – then realize that it is not the constitution you want, but a dictator

Replace your statement with alcohol rather than drugs and you end up with the same argument. Why is it ok to allow alcohol in our society but not drugs? Both are used for the same purpose, to escape reality even if just for a few hours. I drank to much in high school. All the time. Now, I barely touch the stuff. You grow up. Some don‘t and that’s their life and their choice to make. Did you know, even back when I was in high school, drugs like weed and ex were easier for me to get then alcohol? You know why?
I had to buy alcohol from a store. A store that required me to show ID to purchase. Drugs, on the other hand, is bought from a someone you label a criminal who has no problems selling to anyone with cash. Remove the black market effect of drugs and you actually remove the easy access to our children. If they do get it, they’ll get it regardless of how many laws you make, just like I was able to get alcohol anytime i put my brain and energy towards that goal.
I’d hope you put enough trust in the way your raised your kids as to not do drugs. But the fact that you think it‘s necessary for government to be your children’s nanny when it comes to drug use is very disturbing and may actually answer my question to your quality of child raising. I know the way my dad raised me and he didn’t have a prohibition attitude. He had a personal responsibility attitude.

Posted on February 24, 2012 at 11:10pmVanguardNewsNetwork (govnn.com and vnnforum.com) has learned that it was Lew Rockwell himself who wrote the racist words in Ron Paul’s newsletter from which the candidate and his top backers now flee.
A source who wishes to remain anonymous told VNN:
Those Ron Paul Newsletters were authored by Lew Rockwell, and Ron Paul acts like he did know of the contents
At the time Lew Rockwell was Paul’s ghost writer, along with Jeff Tucker, and Murray Rothbard, cheering from the sideline, and contributing occasionally.
Ron Paul tolerated the ‘racist rhetoric’ because it was providing a large share of the reported $940,000 annual income of Ron Paul & Associates, at that time, and because his hispanic adviser convinced him that it would work as an “outreach to the Rednecks,” and gain the grassroots support being enjoyed by people such as David Duke at the time.
The idea was to appeal to many, but to serve few, by telling people what they wanted to hear, or rather NOT telling them what they didn’t want to hear.

OK I checked it out. I know your brother’s a lawyer, so talk to him about this. The issue I have with Levin’s nationalist views on federalism is it relies on precedence that the lefties also use to push their agenda. Removing the federal jurisdiction from all the vice laws is not anarchy. The arguments social conservatives use to justify vice laws are the same justifications the lefties use to push their crazy agenda and it all started in the Progressive Era. Check out my posts at…

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/santorum-uses-romneys-own-words-against-him-in-michigan-tv-ad/
Levin’s arguments regarding the friendship between Paul and Rothbard are presuming too much. We know Paul is an Austrian Economist, but to assume that Paul would applaud Kruschev because Rothbard did… well that’s a bit of a stretch. And for the record, I too, love Thoreau and SOME of Rothbard’s ideas sound appealing to me as well. That doesn’t make me a bad guy, and I love America as much as anyone, probably more so than a lot of people.

A rather large one and as an American I say “I hope that you can sort it out peacefully… otherwise I hate for your two countries..”
Indeed most Jews are Democrats and I wouldn’t go as far to say as they did not supporty Israel they just simply believe that they can rule the world from NYC much more easily than they could Jerusalem.. I tend to think that they are probably correct. That being said don’t underestimate the amount of influence which Jewish money holds over the Republican Party either.. It’s collosal.

Those super wealthy that support the King Hussein rein have plenty of money to double up on what they spend for gas. So the only people who feel the pain are those of us left in the middle class who struggle to stay ahead of the price of fuel, food and retirement. We will be the ones who will invest less and have less in the future. Those who don’t have anything and those who already have their wealth will continue to vote for King Hussein. The control of fuel costs is nothing more than another progressive elitist tactic to shrink the wealth of the average American.

Posted on February 24, 2012 at 7:47pmIt really isn’t rocket science as to why Paul attacks Santorum and Gingrich. Paul spent literally decades with these two in the legislature and he knows their so called conservative big government record backwards and forwards. When Gingrich was speaker he actively campaigned against Paul by backing Paul’s opponent, when Paul ran for his House seat in Texas.
Since Romney never worked in Washington because he worked in the private sector and was a governor of a state; Romney really has had limited interaction with Paul. Paul and Romney got to know each other during the past GOP primaries and that is about it. In MN Paul placed anti-Romney ads and during the Maine caucuses things seemed to heat up between the Romney and Paul camps. I do recall Paul knocking Romney’s foreign policies at a few debates as well.
The other thing people seem to forget as how Santorum and Gingrich literally scoffed at Paul during the debates and Gingrich even went on the record that he could never vote for Paul. Romney on the other hand, has always been very respectful towards Paul and his views. I do think there is a strong bond of mutual respect between Paul and Romney.

Posted on February 24, 2012 at 8:15pmRight on. How hard is it to draw this conclusion? For me it’s not hard at all, but if you’ve been prone to following what talking heads say, than of course it has to be some conspiracy.. Ron and Mitt couldn’t just have a mutual respect for one another.
I’m starting to really dislike the Rick Santorum- “conservatives”, almost more than liberals. They’re doing the very thing they complained about the left doing.. Also you can’t be for small government or a fiscally responsible government and still want the government to control so many aspects of our lives, as Santorum would like it to do.

Why would Ron Paul not take out the middle guys to go head to head with Romney. Its clear the GOP really dont want Romney, its a smart move in my opinion. Once he gets rid of the other two clones he will hammer Mitt.

Likewise, Mark Levin will NEVER tell you the truth about Abraham Lincoln:
“You dislike the emancipation proclamation; and, perhaps, would have it retracted. You say it is unconstitutional–I think differently. I think the constitution invests its Commander-in-chief, with the law of war, in time of war. The most that can be said, if so much, is, that slaves are property. Is there–has there ever been–any question that by the law of war, property, both of enemies and friends, may be taken when needed? And is it not needed whenever taking it, helps us, or hurts the enemy? Armies, the world over, destroy enemie’s property when they can not use it; and even destroy their own to keep it from the enemy. Civilized belligerents do all in their power to help themselves, or hurt the enemy, except a few things regarded as barbarous or cruel. Among the exceptions are the massacre of vanquished foes, and non-combatants, male and female.”

1. Newsletters is a old boring story that if it had anything real to it he would have been out of office long ago.
2. Non intervention is what our founding fathers had in mind. Since you are desperate for a war, have congress vote, that is all Ron Paul has asked for.
3. If anything with bills like No child left behind, Patriot act, NDAA, Obamacare, Nafta, and others why would that be a bad thing? Have you seen some of the bills he tried to get passed? I will tell you this, our country would be alot better off. Him not getting passed isnt a sign Ron Paul is bad, its a sign congress is too busy fattening their pockets, laying down with lobbyist, and pandering to other countries needs over our own.

Posted on February 24, 2012 at 7:16pmI am also convinced. Is Ron Paul not a ‘lifer’ in politics? Yes he is. And he ain’t no fan of Reagan or Lincoln; and then there are the creepy ‘newsletters’….

Posted on February 24, 2012 at 7:18pmSo the tax payers in his home district that pays taxes didn’t deserve something back?
If the money is going to be spent, at least allocate them! That’s their job, in Congress, to allocate the funds. Otherwise, had he not allocated funds back to his district to his constituents that pay their taxes regularly, that money would have been sent to Obama as a blank check.
He would have been more than happy had those bills been voted down completely and none of the money spent. Which is why he votes no on every single one of them. However, the money is going to be spent regardless. Earmarking did not add a penny to the overall spending bill. He made sure that if the money would be spent, that his constituents received something back for the federal tax dollars they’ve spent.
All one has to do is think about this rather than repeat the FOX News talking heads…..

Posted on February 24, 2012 at 7:31pmPaul’s stance on Iran is called the Ostrich Policy. It’s where we join Paul in sticking our head in the sand, don‘t take anything that Iran says seriously about killing millions of people and hope it doesn’t come back to hit us in the part of us that we left sticking up when we decided to stick our head in the sand. If Paul is so “heady” about America’s economy, then he should at least understand the ecomonic consequences if Iran attacks other countries, even if not America. But nooooo!

TSUNAMI-22 How many ICBM’s does Iran have?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Iran doesn’t need an ICBM.
Try to think outside the box just a little bit. Try this for a start: Iran already has the nuclear capability. The pervasive wisdom coming from the media is that Iran doesn’t have this capability yet.
Sounds like most people are buying this deception. Another deception is that Israel will be the first to attack, or be attacked.
Watch the other hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At which point in this thread did I say that America had to lead an Iranian fight?
The question was to explain Ron Paul’s policy regarding Iran. My answer was that Ron Paul doesn’t feel that they are a muslim threat. What I’m trying to make people see on their own is that with this kind of “head buried in the sand” attitude, he may not perceive Shariah law as a threat on our soil either if he became president.
Ron Paul isn’t a stupid man, he’s just not what I would call someone ready for the “worldly” task of commander in chief. He doesn’t have any “command presence”.
Alan West has command presence, as does Gingrich. Romney is like Mr. Rogers on a caffeine high.
I want a president who’s gonna fight back if need be, not try to determine what WE did wrong, apologize, or be considered a general ***** to the rest of the planet.
