After describing why he thinks it’s silly to assume Romney’s election would be a cure-all, Ingraham pressed Rep. Paul on whether Romney would at least be “better” than the current president: INGRAHAM: Would you disagree, then, with Giuliani and others when they say that there is no doubt Mitt Romney would be a better president than Barack Obama? PAUL: Yeah, I think, marginally so. He explained that it isn’t that Romney doesn’t necessarily have better ideas, it’s that historically changing parties never seems to truly change anything about how government grows. “I think Romney would probably be better on the tax issue,” Paul surmises, but then explains how even though George H.W. Bush was supposed to be “good” on taxes — after all, he said “Read my lips: No new taxes!” — history unfolded otherwise. Paul did concede, however, that Romney’s Supreme Court picks would be more conservative, and thus potentially better than second-term Obama’s picks. But Dr. Paul’s assessment is largely correct. It’s no secret that the two parties – once you cut through the partisan bickering – implement policy in a very similar fashion, regardless of who is in power. Ronald Reagan, the great “conservative” president, didn’t actually make big spending cuts. Government grows under both parties, and they both generally make a mess of foreign policy and civil liberties. Heck, just look at look at health-care. The very policy known as “Obamacare” was instituted in a similar fashion by Mitt Romney, then-Governor of Massachusetts. (And hey, remember: the policy was pretty much conceived by Newt Gingrich and the conservative stalwarts at Heritage Foundation.) ROTFL ...
On Thursday’s edition of Laura Ingraham‘s radio show, Congressman Ron Paul explained his skepticism that presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney would be any better than President Obama.

Ron needs to take another look at Romney's judge picks as governor. They're horrible, and as queer as yukon.
Romney's judicial choices as Gov. of Massachusetts were made in the context of a overwhelmingly Democrat legislature which had to approve them. Likewise his choices as President will be made in the context of the Congress We the People choose to work with him. Romney recently named Judge Robert Bork as leader of his judicial advisory committee, which is a signal that he at least is willing to listen to conservatives in regard to judicial appointments.
BIG-PHUCKING-DEAL. That perspective has nothing to do with the current HUGE problems that Ron Paul addresses ... meanwhile Romney has a fetish to go after Iran.
Do you worship Ron Paul?

Did Boris convert you to LDS, or did Mikey convert you to gay?
Ron Paul is one of the GREATEST humanitarians in America, today. As an example, when he ran his medical practice he lowered his fees to needy people at COST only. No stinking medicare/medical BS. He lived&breathed his ideals into his profession and he was highly successful, too. Of course, here at LF, we have some charlatan that is humorously called AKA Stone as a living&breathing idealist that falls off of roof-tops and blames EVERYONE&EVERYTHING for his own plight in O-HI-O. There is quite a distincktion in publick record.
