Report: Ron Paul attacked Romney zero times in 20 debates
An analysis of 20 debates by ThinkProgress shows that Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul did not attack rival Mitt Romney once during those televised face-offs.
That’s in comparison to Paul attacking Romney’s rivals — like former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich — a total of 39 times during those debates, the report said.
ThinkProgress reported that Paul attacked Santorum 22 times and Gingrich 8 times in the debates. He attacked Texas Gov. Rick Perry and businessman Herman Cain four times each and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann one time while they were in the race.
The numbers come as Santorum accuses Paul of teaming up with Romney to keep him down in Michigan, a state holding a primary on Tuesday. (SEE ALSO: Rand Paul says ‘it would be an honor to be considered’ as Romney’s running mate)
Asked to comment on the report, Gary Howard, a campaign spokesman for Paul, told TheDC, “Congressman Paul has pointed out the bad records of all of his opponents on multiple occasions during debates and interviews.”

I don't have the time nor willpower to verify this but DailyCaller is usually pretty legit. Granted the report is coming from one of the most dishonest leftist "think tanks" out there so who knows. Off the top of my head it does seem accurate, though.
I think the story of Rand Paul as Romney's running mate is seeming more and more plausible.

His ads have been saying more than enough ;D
^ No. 1 most bought ad by the campaign, btw

Don't cry now.
Rand himself said it would be an honor to be considered for Romney's veep. ::)

And what makes you think that someone with a consistent and principled record will ever support a "serial flip-flopper?"

Here's another one:

The fact he gets to be VP? That's a good way to get to the presidency if Romney turns out to be any sort of competent.
The guy himself said he'd be honored to be considered, you stupid fuck. Go cry to Rand, douche. ::)
-
And why would he want to be VP? So he can look like every other politician while not accomplishing anything he set out to accomplish? What does the VP do beside once in a blue moon get to cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate?
Saying that you'd be "honored" isn't the same as saying that you'd take the job. ::)

Hmmm...
I mean, it only takes an IQ of 80 to figure out, but there's the audio if you really need it.

Hahaha, I like how butt-hurt you sound over this. You're completely devastated. You sound like he fucked you and didn't bother giving you a reach around. ::)

Hmm, I'm the butt hurt one? ;D I'm not the one responding with ad hominems while ignoring the points made.

Why would I be butt-hurt about it? You're crying about a report stating that the guy might consider being Romney's VP.
This is why die-hard Ron Paul fans are so grating. I love the guy's message but his followers are as fanatically annoying as the Usurper's drones. All little children who can't handle criticism.
-
I'm crying about it? Where? ::)
All I'm doing is pointing out how stupid of a theory that is. You're the one stomping your feet and ignoring what's plain as daylight.

Stomping my feet? I couldn't care less, to be honest. Unlike you, my life doesn't revolve around lusting after the Paul family's penises.

Boo fucking hoo man. I don't really care either way, besides knocking you down a few pegs, which I've successfully done. I'll tell you what. If Rand Paul becomes Mitt's VP choice, then I'll change my sig to whatever you want it to be till the general election. If he doesn't, then you'll have to change your sig to "ROARK'S BITCH" till the general election. Deal?

You knocked me down a few pegs? You didn't knock anything down. I posted a report and you linked a bunch of youtube videos I'm not going to bother watching.
Sick "knocking down", yo! What a fucking geek, haha.

Plug your ears and cover your eyes if you want.
All I'm saying is put up or shut up. 8)

Plug my ears? I don't watch 99% of the youtube videos posted on here. I have better things to do with my time than watch youtube clips some random person made.
I've been on the Ron/Rand Paul bandwagon for quite a while now. I still couldn't give a fuck about your clips and your thinking that they mean he won't take a VP offer.

See, what all of you rabid Ron Paul supporters fail to realize is that Paul is still a politician and a father. Believe me, I support the man-- and if he brokered a deal to get Rand into the Romney cabinet, god bless him.
It's the same deal with a lot of his foreign policy ideas. There's campaigning and then there's reality. He is as ideologically pure as they come, but he's a human being, not a robot.
I personally see no big deal if any of this stuff turns out to be true.

Well said, sir. Exactly how I look at it.

From what i understand the two have forged sort of a friendship on the trail as well as their families.
Additionally - RP has good reason to go after saint Rick and newt.
-
LOL, look who's all of a sudden into conspiracy theories!!!! shocking haha...

I've heard that too, that the two are actually good friends

he gets very little airtime and has to use it wisely.
RP and MR hae voters that don't overlap. If you buy into mitt's line of bullshit, you're a dense fool who won't support ron paul.
If you're a diehard RP supporter, then you know mitt is so phony and full of shit, you're not voting for him.
they're both fighting for the santorum and newt votes

There's nothing conspiratorial about it. Paul hasn't attacked Romney much, if at all, in the debates. There is a study supporting this. The reasoning behind that is not relevant to me. I just posted it because I knew it would throw you Obama drones Paul diehards in a tizzy.

now you're really sounding like a CTr ;D Deny it's a CT, first symptom lol

Yeah...
Let's face it...most hardcore, ardent Ron Paul fans are assholes.
Not all (Bindare, Hugo, Loco - all pretty decent), but most.
True. His most hardcore fans aren't really any different from the Obama drones and are definitely just as off-putting.
What amazing accuracy...

I dont see the problem with getting Rand as veep personally, I mean, the chances of Ron making office are almost zero, so why not take what we can get?
Id be rather happy to have Rand as VP, at least we know that SOMEONE in the upper cabinet has good economic sense.
Ill take having Rand speaking into the presidents ear ANY DAY over any of the others. But thats just me.
