One can no longer be surprised why the Republican old guard wants Romney to be President. One needs only to listen to former employees of companies bought out by Bain or to watch this video.
Peter Grier of the Christian Science Monitor writes an interesting article about the negative ads about Romney and Bain, In true 'all-or-nothing' form many seem to want to blame him for the financial collapse. It would be naive to think this one man could have done all the damage. However, neither does it mean he didn't play a significant role since he cannot really count as a job creator.
If Romney gets the Republican nomination it will be for all the wrong reasons. Ron Paul is just too old to be starting a job that would not end for him until 5 years from now. Huntsman looked pretty good until I heard him say he thinks we should follow the Paul Ryan plan; Huntsman has no desire to support social security or Medicare. Gingrich was sent away in shame once for his ethics violations. Has anyone seen evidence that he is to be the first leopard to have changed his spots? Buddy Roemer, really???? Rick Perry wants to considered as President after he was videotaped supporting his state of Texas in seceding from the USA/
Soon we will learn more meaningless poll numbers. Ho-hum!

Ron Paul is old, but consider the following:
- Robert Byrd served as a senator, including chairing several committees, when he was 92.
- Supreme court justice John Paul Stevens was on the bench for his 90th birthday.
- Prime Minister Winston Churchill served as prime minister in his early 80's.
Frankly, I would be happier if Paul's ideas were being advanced by a younger candidate. But for now, Ron Paul is the only major party candidate arguing for the austerity measures needed to avoid bankrupting the next generation, the restoration of the civil liberties we lost to the war on terror, and a less confrontational foreign policy. For me, these ideas are more important than age.
