If Mitt DROPS OUT, they will support Dr. PAUL

Still I'm a little worried that the votes aren't even being counted fairly. It seems all the true Conservatives HATE McCain bitterly, yet he continues to outstrip everyone else. It just isn't plausible. Since we know how easy it is to cheat on the electronic vote counting, how can anyone trust that the numbers have any basis in reality?
So, where I'm going with this is, if Romney dropped out, and if his supporters came on board, do you think we'd ever know? Increasingly I believe that the course that this is following is the only possible way for Ron Paul to win, because there will be no candidate apparent at the end of the primary season and therefore the brokered convention will offer the only viable opportunity to tkae the nomination. Also, it would be a lot harder to cheat on the counting of votes by delegates.

I agree about how nice Mormans are, but maybe it's best for us if Mitt stays till the end.

....he quits.

The real target is not the Mormon base of primary voters, but the Mormon delegates who will be supporting Romney at the GOP convention. Look, McCain is going to the convention in the best possible light. We need to start trying to convince those delegates now for Ron Paul.

Let's throw on a special website just for Romney delegates. Let's host them to a nice lunch show them videos of religious freedom and the Constitution and win them over. It's great that Romney remains in the race to keep it open but in the long haul Romney will likely not prevail at the GOP Convention. It's dubious that McCain would take him on as VP.

But Ron Paul on the other hand, he could perhaps take Romney on as VP.

I am a mormon and RP supporter. If Mitt dropped out, and I don't think he will, RP should pick up some of his support. Maybe a lot. I have been reminding the mormons I know that it is their duty to support the constitution. That is taught in our doctrine and by our leaders. We believe that agency is the greatest gift given to us by our Father in Heaven and we are in a war with satan and his followers who are constantly trying to take our agency away and undermine our freedom.
The U.S. Constitution, which we believe was divinely inspired and so did all the founding fathers, serves to protect the sacred agency God gave us. I tell all my fellow mormons that RP will do more than Romney to protect the constitution and have convinced quite a few.

If you want a great book about the constitution I recommend, "The 5000 Year Leap."

I'm not a Mormon, so I can't say. However, since you are arguing from a Mormon perspective, assuming you are right, I would agree simply because if 2 other candidates attacked my fellow Mormon as badly as Huckabuck and McInsane have attacked Romney, then yeah, I'd vote for Paul just because he never attacked my man.

Otherwise, I don't think this theory has legs - most Mitt supporters just hated McInsane and Huckabuck, but are still pro-war.

I may be a vegetarian, but I'll defend to the death my right to eat pork!

16. Even this Nation will be on the very verge of crumbling to peices [sic] and tumbling to the ground and when the constitution is upon the brink of ruin this people will be the Staff up [on] which the Nation shall lean and they shall bear the constitution away from the very verge of destruction. (WJS 416)

This was written over 150 years ago by Pres. Joseph Smith of the LDS Church. Mitt Romney does not apply to this quote. Mitt Romney will not defend and protect the Constitution. The members of the LDS Faith have to be reminded of the good things of their past in order to see that Romney is off and Ron Paul is their man.

I do think some in the Ormney camp would come our way and it would open up caucus states more because ti seems Romney and Paul do better in those states.

ANYONE But McCain.

:)

We KNOW McCain's supporters are paper thin, they didn't exist till late January, we saw how easily they switched their votes in WV. McCain will NOT survive a brokered convention.

Romney knows this, don't expect him to drop out.

does anybody think there is even a chance that Mitt would drop out?

They ganged up against Ron Paul in Louisiana, do you really think they won't do it again? Mitt, Huck, & John will never support Ron Paul and they will never advise their supporters to support him.

Will support either no one at all and stay home on election day, or will they go for the front runner for "party unity," or aim to stick it to McCain and support Huck who will drop out and become his VP.

Wake up! Most registered Republicans will NOT support Dr. Paul because he is against the war, and they've been brainwashed by Fox to believe that is the Republican position. They had their chance to support him and they didn't. And they won't.

WILLARD is a neo-con?he will do what the bankers and lez cheney tell him to do! don get it f*cked up they will gang up against us if we let em!
Or if we were in winning anything we see what they have done so far!

but I think a lot of LDS members have forgoten about Former Pres. Ezra Taft Benson who was a libertarian and had the same political beliefs as Ron Paul. Pres. Benson has written many book about our government and the proper role of it. Pres. Benson's Idea of foreign policy is Identical as Ron Paul's also. I know there is a few out of the many members who remember his political beliefs. One thing I don't understand is that many members of the LDS church are for the war because our scriptures talk about not going to war unless god gives the command basically. I think if we can help the members remember Pres. Benson's belief about what the role of government ought to be then it will possibly help them see that Romney is way off and focus on Ron Paul and how his beliefs are align with Pres. Benson's. Look up Ezra Taft Benson and you'll see what I'm talking about. you Can also go to http://www.latterdayconse... to see what other Presidents of the LDS church have said about our government and the constitution.

you are totally right except for a fe war mongers they will likely all come over

**That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them

I think the ones that are real active might, but some might support huck.

Not too sure.

I think Mormans that supported Romney would support Dr Paul................but they are only a small part of Mitts supporters - the rest of them are talk radio junkies that listen to Rush, Hannity etc.

The Mormon Church is very big here in our county. I have found them to be much more honest than the Christian right. When they give their word on something, it means something to them. Regrettably, I have found just the opposite from the Christian right. I know I come from the Christian right!

...support Ron Paul. The Republican Party is run by neo-con warmongering facists who would never in a million years let Ron Paul be their Presidential candidate. Even after the backstabbing that Huck and Mac have done to Romney, they still would prefer them to Paul.

LDS members, aka "Mormons" are great people with great family values and will switch to Ron Paul in a heartbeat.

Obviously, they've got the unending, perpetual war thing going. That's a hell of a "family value."

"We don't have to start a brand new revolution...All we have to do is restore the original Constitution." -Ron Paul

on LDS members, RP is right in line with a lot of what they want in a representative. So I think we'll get the lion's share of those votes when Mitt drops, which could be soon.. ;)

there should not be any bashing of mormons on this site....I have seen it and I don't like it.

I graduated from the University of Utah, (and no I am not mormon), and I would not be surprised if alot of mormons would back Dr. Paul if Romney quit. They are very active politically. Although in SLC they usually lean more democratic.

I don't see Romney quitting anytime soon though.

I lived in Mesa for 2 years and never met a better group of people. Excellent family values, well read and informed, loving liberty, etc. I think we should reach out to anyone with a like mind or ideals. I knew that Utah would vote for their favorite son...that's ok.

It's a big tent after all. Plenty of room for Independants and Democrats too.

He would support Doc if Mitt left. He likes none of the rest at all.....

The wall would fall if Mitt left.... just a thought.

on this?
