Is Ron Paul in alliance with Mitt Romney?

   Over the last couple of days a lot of media attention has gone towards a conspiracy theory involving Ron Paul and Mitt Romney banding together.  They seem to be pushing it pretty hard which in my mind means that they are trying to paint Ron Paul as a sell-out. What are your thoughts?

            A comment from that article:
            
            "Let's see...on the one hand AynRand Paul says, " If you dump benzene in the stream, I want you to go to jail.” He then continues by noting, "All the new pollution rules are causing the loss of jobs." OK. Sorry to disillusion anyone who thinks that he said something pro-environmental. Just like his old man with legalizing pot, he's trawling for progressive votes. His a dominionist first and a Koch-supporter second."
            
            So which is it?
            
            Can you police the corporations who are killing children, or do you let them kill freely?
            
            And here is the BIG thing these poison-killers always win under: IF. IF they are polluting...you have to prove it, and they will do anything to prove they are not.

               The Ron Paul part of Ron Paul says "Pollution is an infringement of property rights. Even carbon dioxide shouldn't be pumped into the air en masse".

   I think they are. Romney can't win without help. When Paul goes public in his support of Romney, His devout followers will see that he was only in it to get a position in the next administration. This will all fail because Conservatives in enough numbers will not support another Progressive RepubliCRAT in Romney.

   Pretty nonsense. Never believe anything unless the mainstream media is completely ignoring it. The fact that they're hyping this up is telling. Ron Paul's ideology is a million miles away from Romney's. Just because they seem to get along better than the other candidates doesn't mean they are an alliance.

         If you refuse to sell-out an already-sold-out Conservatism, then you're just going to elect a shill.
         
         Gingrich can't beat Obama, just ask the independents. Neither can Santorum.
         
         But if you ask the Democrats, many of them will actually refuse to vote for Obama and instead vote for Ron Paul

      I wouldn't give much credence to MSNBC's not so clever editing. Paul's comments are taken completely out of context, most of which come from politeness and sticking by his principles (basically that it is unfair to criticise someone for firing people in the free market. If someone is not providing you the service you're paying for you fire them, no matter what the circumstance is.). Otherwise, Paul has been consistently critical of Romney on pretty much all of his policies.

      "they admitted he is pro-life. Anti-choice. Anti-freedom for women."
      
      Being pro life does not mean Paul is anti women, just that he is pro life, the two things are not synonymous, and not ALL women think the same, with sound reasoning to support them.

      "As an OB/GYN who delivered over 4,000 babies, Ron Paul knows firsthand how precious, fragile, and in need of protection life is.
      
      Dr. Paul’s experience in science and medicine only reinforced his belief that life begins at conception, and he believes it would be inconsistent for him to champion personal liberty and a free society if he didn’t also advocate respecting the God-given right to life—for those born and unborn."
      
      What Americans should be seeking is a man of principal, his objectives on abortion would in all probability never be achieved, however he seems to be the ONLY candidate who will actually turn America away from the fate it faces if America continues with corrupt New World Order puppets who jump to the bankers commands.

         "Rick Santorum has directly accused Paul and Romney of working together, noting “their commercials look a lot alike, and so do their attacks.” A review by ThinkProgress of the 20 GOP debates suggests Santorum might be onto something.
         
         While Paul has freely attacked Romney’s top rivals, he has never once attacked Romney:
         
         This is particularly striking given that Paul and Romney do not agree on virtually any policy positions.
         
         Paul has gone beyond merely refraining from attacks. He has actively defended Romney on some of his biggest vulnerabilities. For example, when Rick Perry attacked Romney for “Romneycare” during an October 18 debate, Paul interjected:
         
         First off, you know, the governor of Texas criticized the governor of Massachusetts for “Romneycare,” but he wrote a really fancy letter supporting “Hillarycare.” So we probably ought to ask him about that.
         
         Paul has also run advertisements attacking Romney’s key rivals at critical times. He ran hundreds of thousands of dollars in brutally negative ads attacking Gingrich in Iowa. Paul now is using his scarce funds on a television ad attacking Rick Santorum in Michigan, a key state where Paul is a non-factor.
         
         Paul is effectively acting as Romney’s on-stage surrogate during the debates. The key question is: what is Paul getting out of it?"
         
         Interesting! Where there's smoke, there's fire.

    What's real to me is this:
    When republicans are in charge, reproductive rights are demolished, cost of living is raised on the poor and middle class, rich people are given tax breaks which make it so.
    War is always used as a rallying cry for patriotism, or racism or homophobia.
    We are told that we are dirt if we can't be rich like them, and they owe no allegiance to this country, where their wealth was accrued.
    
    Steel hands around my neck is how I feel when republicans are in charge, and the fear of making all the world our enemy.
    
    I don't feel that way when it's democrats.

       When the beast steps with its right leg all the Republicans cheer and when it steps with its left leg all the Democrats shout for joy. What they are both missing is that the beast is using both its right and left legs to move itself about - and it is heading the U.S.A. straight to for the gates of Hell and it will take anyone else down with it who is foolish enough to follow.

Just think of it as "good cop, bad cop" and you are well on your way to understanding the politics that goes on behind closed doors.

    This is Wrong.
    
    The attempt to make it look like there's an alliance also undermines Paul's claim to be consistent: "But, if he's so consistent, then why is he teaming up with Romney?!"
    
    HE'S NOT.
    
    Paul has been scoring the highest in electability in national polls, beating Romney. And he can beat Obama.

    Here's that Mandeville, btw...learned something new.
    
    "Although Mandeville's name has been all but erased from contemporary mainstream economical discourse, many free-market thinkers lavish glowing praise on his insights.
    
    Friedrich von Hayek extolled Mandeville as a "mastermind" and "great psychologist" whose theories anticipated those of David Hume, Adam Smith, and Charles Darwin, and praised his poem The Fable of the Bees as a "remarkable" work.
    
    According to Hayek, Mandeville's ideas "returned to economic theory" through the work of Carl Menger, the founder of the Austrian School by way of 19th-century German historian Friedrich von Savigny.
    
    Ludwig von Mises also paid tribute to Mandeville in his Theory and History, observing that
    
    "He [Mandeville] pointed out that self-interest and the desire for material well-being, commonly stigmatized as vices, are in fact the incentives whose operation makes for welfare, prosperity, and civilization."
    
    In his writings, Mandeville argues that liberty represents man's uninhibited pursuit of his basest material and carnal instincts. Rather than being evil, selfishness and licentiousness lead to prosperity.
    
    According to Mandeville, "Evil is the grand principle that makes us social creatures, the solid basis, the life and support of all trade and employment without exception".
    
    Influenced by Mandeville, Adam Smith came to the conclusion that self-interest is the pillar of a prosperous society. Hayek and Mises went even further. They railed against altruism and solidarity as hindrances to a society's economic success.
    
    Mandeville also claimed that a nation's wealth was predicated on the maintenance of an underclass of poorly educated laborers.
    
    Following in Mandeville's hoof steps, Mises emphasized that "men are born unequal and that it is precisely their inequality that generates social cooperation and civilization."
    
    Hmph...all they had to do was watch Wall Street.
