Jesse Benton Interview on MSNBC: On the cordial relationship between Paul and Romney

This bullshit would stop being reported. Jesse, please don't say Paul supporters would vote for Romney if he agreed to Paul's views. I for one would never vote for Romney or anyone else, but Ron Paul.

All this crap does is dilute Ron Paul's campaign and message, so lets cut the shit and move on.

That was cool how estoeric it got in the end. As far as the Paul/ Romney bromance thing goes, here's my short answer: They both know it's a two man race. They want to get the other two losers out of the way and then may the best man win.

Many of these phony mainstream talking heads are nothing but paid actors who follow a script. I don’t know why Jesse Benton thinks, “that there’s a chance [Ron Paul Supporters] might come his way…” if Romney “talks” to them about this or “talks” to them about that. Romney can talk and sound like Ron Paul all he wants … if RP supporters decide to support him they will be supporting his banker backers who own the Federal Reserve and they in turn will support Ron Paul supporters into an early grave.

...that a little common decency and minor tactical cooperation between Paul and Romney signifies any kind of alliance is delusional.

As for why Paul doesn't attack Romney as much as he has the "anti-Romneys" that have risen and fallen, that's clearly a conscious strategy. No, not a strategy to secretly hand Romney the nomination...yea, RP was a sleeper along along, his 30 years of being a staunch libertarian was just a trick...gimme a break. The strategy is obvious. Romney is the favored establishment candidate. He gets the money from the establishment and he gets the most favorable media coverage. Ron Paul has set his sights on defeating Romney, because Romney is the real enemy. But in order to get to Romney, Paul needs to get rid of the rest of them. He need to make a fight between JUST him and Romney. We're almost there. Santorum is the last obstacle between the fight Paul's raring to fight. And, low and behold, Paul is in the process of crushing Santorum as he did the rest of them. Have a little faith, there's method to the campaign's madness. If anyone's being tricked, it's Romney, who's going to have a rude awakening when it comes down to him and Paul. And by rude awakening, I mean a swift bat to the noggin.

another answer:

maybe Ron Paul is thinking about bringing on Romney for VP because of his management experience and money that he could help bring in to the campaign. He'd be a great guy to take on the business end of the presidency!

He will not be getting my vote!

In my opinion this is another media strategy to try and minimize Ron Paul as a presidential candidate. I think they are trying to paint the picture that Ron has decided to become Mitt's vice president (or have Rand Paul become Mitt's VP), this way people don't vote for Ron.

I just think this is ridiculous. Typical media BS show a few clips of the two giving each other compliments or not attacking each other. Ron decided not to bash Mitt for his quote that was taking out of context and Ron answered a question about who would be the best manager of the other opponents. Mitt complemented Ron that he would actually cut the budget, I don't see how these clips conclude the two have an "alliance."

Also I remember a while back Ron running attack ads on Mitt as a flip flopper in Iowa. Not to mention the disagreements they have had at debates. It is just recently, with Rick and trying to play a conservative card, that Ron has been focusing pointing out the facts. This is what Ron does and Rick has been very aggressive towards Ron in debates.

Ron also frequently criticizes Mitt for not wanting to audit the Fed and frequently says that he would not consider endorsing Mitt or anyone unless they change their tune on the constitution, over-seas, and spending which Ron does not see happening.

This was an awkward interview and Jesse was put in the awkward position of talking about an alliance that is not there. He simply mentioned that Ron and Mitt are now cordial towards each other. I think Ron is pretty much cordial with anyone who has mutual respect. I have never seen Ron attack anyone for personal beliefs only positions.

Again this is my opinion, I just do not see why Ron would ally with Mitt (I understand his son Rand could benefit, but endorsing Mitt would undermine not only Ron but also Rand). I also think Rick is being a baby because he can't take the heat of having multiple candidates point out obvious facts about him. A while back Mitt was the man getting heat from all sides (including Ron).

And lastly in regards to the Rick ad in Michigan, I believe that Rick is leading the polls in Michigan. It would make sense for Ron to attack Rick so he can pick up the more conservative votes. Mitt was born in Michigan so I would assume that the Paul camp is targeting Rick because many will likely vote for Mitt just because he is from Detroit.

We need to be concentrating on Ron Paul winning.
This in some ways is compromising the message.
We see Romney platform is completely the opposite
of what we are all fighting for.

This is our last chance to take our country back for liberty.
We need to be in it to win not make deals. Go Ron Paul 2012

Why is Ron Paul spending so much money on attack ads that go after whoever is challenging Romney for the lead, first Gingrich, now Santorum?

Why not further the message of liberty? If Ron Paul is going to win, it's going to be by distinguishing himself from all of the other candidates, not by trashing the current not-romney.

This stupid, shady, reality-show style alliance is heartbreaking.
