HELL NO!: Will Ron Paul supporters jump on the Romney band wagon
by Joel McDurmon
Joe Wolverton II writes for The New American,
The reports of Ron Paul’s demise are
greatly exaggerated. A spokesman for the campaign has repeatedly
affirmed that Ron Paul isn’t going away and that he has neither ended
nor suspended his campaign for the presidency. In fact, the Texas
congressman’s drive to accumulate delegates at the state Republican
conventions seems to be gaining momentum.
Although the Paul camp has acknowledged
“Governor Romney has what is very likely an insurmountable lead,” they
are fighting on and will undoubtedly leverage their increasing cache of
committed delegates to strengthen their platform-influencing position in
Tampa in August.
It has been observed that “it’s way too
late to keep Paul from having a sizable presence at the Republican
National Convention.” It’s also way too late to believe that the Paul
bloc of the Republican Party will go gentle into that good night and to
stand idly by as the Romney wing converts its candidate’s policy
pronouncements into the GOP platform for 2012.
A writer at the Washington Post reckons
that Ron Paul will push for votes “on a few platform issues” but
ultimately settle for “platform committee losses” on most of his key
policy stances with “one or two minor victories” as a consolation prize.
With all due respect, the Washington Post doesn’t
seem to be paying attention to the state convention chaos that has
erupted nationwide as Romney surrogates try to muzzle the vociferous and
informed platoons of Ron Paul backers. . . .
An article published earlier this week in The Atlantic rightly reckons that:
“If Romney wants to win the Paul vote, it
seems, it won’t be good enough to put an audit-the-Fed plank in the
Republican Party platform. He’d have to actually embrace and campaign on
Paul’s issues, which could, in case it needs to be said, be a tricky
proposition where the mass of the electorate is concerned.”
These dedicated freedom activists know Ron Paul, they’ve worked for Ron Paul and they know that Mitt Romney is no Ron Paul.

Man with 30 Kids Seeks Child Support Break
In Knoxville, Tennessee, there is a man who is only 33 years old but who
has already fathered 30 children from 11 different women. It's a record
for the county, and it's also a reminder that despite try as we might,
we just can't legislate common sense.

NBC Revives Howard Stern
Howard Stern has not been missed since he took his smutty shtick off the
airwaves and onto the unregulated Sirius satellite radio. His super
fans -- the brainiacs still playing their VHS tapes of a Stern show
called "Butt Bongo Fiesta" -- have made the satellite radio chiefs
happy, but Stern has almost vanished as an icon of pop culture. He even
scaled back his radio schedule to three days a week, semi-retiring.
