For those who are willing to swallow their disgust and comply with the will of the Establishment to cast a vote for Mitt, because he is better than President Obama, just understand that you will be doing what the Establishment wants you to do.
You do remember and understand that we have a President Obama because of the Republican Establishment, don't you? And I am not talking about the fact that they ran John McCain.
Think back a few more years, when Barack Obama was running for the US Senate and he faced Alan Keyes.
The Republican Establishment abandoned Alan Keyes, refused to give him even superficial support, because Alan Keyes (like Ron Paul) represented a genuine philosophical difference from not only the Establishment Left, but also the Establishment Right.
The Republicans abandoned Alan Keyes, and thus we earned Senator Barack Obama.
And then we earned President Obama.
The Republican Establishment will do exactly the same thing if Ron Paul wins the nomination. They will abandon him, because so long as there is a President Obama, the Establishment will have a seat at the table.
And please do not waste any energy considering the influence a second-place Ron Paul will carry into the Republican Convention. Sure, they may permit him to give a speech. They may give lip service to a few of his ideas, in an attempt to bring your votes to Mitt.
I hope for anyone who hasn't yet learned the truth: The Establishment Republicans are Enemies of Liberty. Lesser of evils? Sure, maybe in the primaries.
But if Mitt Romeny is nominated, my position is simple: Let it all burn to the ground.
I will not vote for Mitt. I can envision no difference in the next 4 years between a Mitt Presidency and another Obama Presidency, except perhaps the speed of Implosion.
As a recruiting drive for the III, such a turn of events can't be beaten.
Let it burn.
