No matter how hard you wish to the election fairy, Ron Paul is not going to take that mantle from Obama.
The only people that will ever be President are those who have been vetted by TPTB. Bet on either Obama or Romney and bet on the incumbent this time. TPTB have had the gears spinning to ensure that the people don't get what they want.

Here is my thread talking about Romney being Pauls VP www.abovetopsecret.com... and how that could be beneficial to both guys. Or at least for Romney. Him being Pauls VP would set him up nicely later down the road, could keep Pauls votes for being on his ticket and possibly try running again in 2016/2020. Could also spell a longer term in the White House that way for Romney and TPTB would have their poster boy back-up already in place.
Not to mention could help Paul pull Mittens supporters too for the win over big O

In fact if the GOP were wise, this is what they would be pushing. Its obvious the Paul supporters arent going to go away, and this would pacify them as well as set Mitt up for some serious game later on, he isnt that old and can bide his time until Paul really is too old to be effective.
I think the Paul supporters would be disappointed in this outcome, but not enough to not vote for the guy. Win-win in my book. Gives us who we want and we made a compromise for the GOP party. Hmmmm maybe truth to this after all.

How about the rumors that Ron Paul's son will be Romney's VP choice?
It doesnt look like Mitt will pick Santorum (altho Christie was my #1 pick).

I kept feeling more and more and increasingly more (but albeit too gradually) that Paul is one of the Illumined. Bits and pieces of intelligence as-it-were, which should be red flags for everyone.

To be fair, if the MSM acknowledges that Paul is second in delegates (which I believe that they did?), then maybe I'M wrong after all. That's fine with me.
Regardless, we need meaningful change that will benefit ALL Americans, not just the Republican voters, Democrat voters or Independent voters.
