Is Paul Ready to Cut a Deal with Romney?

[WI_DEM]

Ron Paul "has sent discreet signals to Camp Romney" suggesting he might be willing to trade his support in the GOP presidential race, Alex Altman reports.

"Aides say if Paul can't win the nomination, four legislative priorities would top the Texas Representative's wish list: deep spending cuts that lead to a balanced budget; the restoration of civil liberties; a commitment to reclaim the legislative branch's right to declare war, which it abdicated to the executive branch in recent decades; and reforms that shore up the U.S. monetary system, such an audit of the Federal Reserve or competing-currency legislation."

Paul might also be enticed "by the prospect of serving as a presidential adviser, a Cabinet position for someone in his orbit or 'perhaps a vice presidency.' Not for himself, but rather his son. Rand Paul, the junior senator from Kentucky and a Tea Party icon, is expected to launch his own White House bid in 2016. Being on the ticket now - or even being mentioned for it - would be a helpful step."

1. Like Rmoney would promise any of those things.

And frankly, I think it's illegal to make job offers conditional on endorsements.

2. Romney would be a fool

He doesn't have enough troubles? Picking up the crazy express endorsement by cutting a deal?

3. Shit, who would entertain a deal with Rmoney? Does any one on the planet have

less integrity or a more broken internal compass than that odious turd?

He is to me the least trustworthy American politician, maybe ever. His bedrock principles can change back and forth several times in the same day, depending on venue.

I find his lack of center to be truly frightening, such people are completely dangerous even more so than the open nutjobs like Santorum and Paul.

"The turd don't fall far from the ass-hole."

5. Ah yes, the great Republican "meritocracy"...

...where Mitt picks Rand up by his bootstraps...

6. I think he already made a deal

months ago.

7. If Rmoney is

Paul might also be enticed "by the prospect of serving as a presidential adviser, a Cabinet position for someone in his orbit or 'perhaps a vice presidency.' Not for himself, but rather his son.

...seeking to appeal to the for far-right, he just might.
