Romney Admits 2012 Nomination Was
Stolen

The new documentary Mitt, a Netflix original, is
reigniting the almost smothered controversy over the 2012 Republican
presidential nomination. There were an extraordinary number of GOP insiders and
caucus members who smelled a rat. The trail of electioneering evidences from state to state is staggering.
Many people believed that the nomination had been stolen from its deserving
recipient—Ron Paul.
Now, an offhand
remark in Mitt seems to confirm that suspicion. According to Romney,
someone from GOP headquarters said to him:In some ways, we kind of had to steal the Republican nomination. Our party is Southern, evangelical, and populist. And you’re Northern, and you’re Mormon, and you’re rich. And these do not match well with our party.
Say what you
will, this little hint is a staggering admission in light of the available
evidence. Ron Paul was a great favorite. His funding and his support were
almost entirely home-grown and grass roots. Most of the candidates said regularly
that they envied Ron Paul’s supporters. Everywhere he showed up, hundreds
and thousands of supporters showed up too. Romney paid for supporters, as
did Obama, yet they could never boast the kind of well-informed and
voluntary popular support that Ron Paul enjoyed. Calling them “Paul-bots”
just emphasizes the fact that they were almost cultishly zealous about their
candidate. Could Romney boast that kind of unflaggingly enthusiastic support?
No. So who are the real lemming automatons at the end of the day? The people
who voted their conscience passionately … or the sheeple who compromised their
values to vote for someone they only hated less than the alternative?
Republicans
didn’t like Romney and Democrats hated him. On the other hand, Democrats
respected Ron Paul (though they feared him) and young Republicans loved
Ron Paul (though the old guard Republicans feared Paul as well). What does it
say when both parties fear you? You’re not a party-player, that’s what. And
that is exactly what made Ron Paul such a popular favorite.
Ironically, the
oldest candidate on either side of the aisle was the biggest favorite with the
next generation. But the old guard couldn’t and wouldn’t let Ron Paul win. They
wouldn’t even name his name at the nomination convention. Why? Ron Paul was bad
for business-as-usual. He was an upstanding, honest, hard-working,
Constitution-loving, unbribable, unshakable, no-nonsense representative of the
average productive American. He was also Southern, evangelical, and populist
(by the way).
There is no
doubt in my mind that the nomination was stolen from Ron Paul. There is also no
doubt that the Republicans lost in 2012 because of it. Ron Paul had a much
better chance of winning than Romney. Think about it. If all the Republican
resources that tried to sell us a polished turd had supported the popular
choice instead, Republicans could have carried the presidency.
But then
Republicans wouldn’t have had a puppet in the Oval Office. The game would have
ended for a time. And GOP mainstreamers would rather have the game-playing
Obama in office than lose control of “their” party. That’s the bottom line. GOP
mainstreamers sold this country out in order to keep from losing control. If it
isn’t patently obvious by now that both parties need the boot, what could I
possibly say to convince you ?

Catherine Bernard
is exactly the kind of person we need to elect to public office.
The Elite
Republican Establishment is still wrong. Their big tent needs Constitutional
Conservatives to win and they cannot win without them. We are basing our votes
on voting records and scores from Constitutional Conservative organization
websites.
After
the 2008 Meltdown, by 2012 we were still in decline. The media and the
Republican Establishment didn’t want to abandon the decline.
It
reminded me of the story of the jackass who starved to death despite the fact
that he was in between two bales of hay. He couldn’t decide.
The
media (Socialists) had ignored Ron Paul’s candidacy and message, despite the
accuracy of his predictions and soundness of his advice. They didn’t want any of his free enterprise
solutions to be considered.
The
global corporations had what they wanted.
Their contributions dominated national political races. They were
focused on the Fed money printing party and the Democrat’s penchant for
spending. They apparently had a plan to weather the crashes this behavior would
cause and they want to make all the money they can while the dollar stream is
booming.
The
“trickle-up” economics these conditions created had magically increased to flow
of money to the rich. The rest of us saw
a dramatic decline.
The
Republican elites over-estimated the perceived danger in the minds of voters to
Obamacare and the other disasters created by the Obama administration (Agenda
21, etc.) from 2008 to 20012. Worse, they didn’t go after Obama (Communist
Illegal Alien) or the election fraud that elected him in the 2008 and 2012
elections. They think “big tent” means
Liberal Republicans, not Constitutional Conservatives.
TV
coverage of the 2012 Convention in Tampa proved that most Delegates were either
Ron Paul Delegates, or were joined in protest by other Principled
Republicans. The video of John Boehner
reading “and the Ayes have it”,from the teleprompter and the earlier reaction
to the Rule announcement that the Ron Paul candidacy was not going to be
considered or acknowledged were both followed by a massive reaction of boos
that sounded like a majority.
