The Ron Paul Campaign boldly attacked every leading Republican in the 2012 race EXCEPT for Mitt Romney?

WHY?

Paul's attack ads hurt the "frontrunner" Newt Gingrich. 

Congressman Ron Paul has never been known as a political "bomb thrower". His style is to present his ideas is a calm and articulate manner. To hard core supporters, Paul's apparent "timidity" in going after his corrupt and lying opponents has been a source of frustration. It therefore came as a pleasant surprise when the Paul campaign launched a barrage of blistering attack ads aimed at the then Iowa "frontrunner", Newt Gingrich. The ads labeled Gingrich as "a serial hypocrite" and helped to sink Gingrich's poll numbers.

The Paul campaign then launched similar attack ads against "another serial hypocrite", Rick Santorum. 

With the help of an articially media-created "surge", Senator Rick Santorum came in 2nd place to Mitt Romney in the Jan. 3, 2012 Iowa Caucus. Rather than attacking the frontrunning Mitt Romney, the Paul camp again focused on a 2nd tier candidate, launching stinging attack ads against Santorum.The ads labeled Santorum as "another serial hypocrite" and accused him of "betrayal". Ouch! Great stuff, but Romney again got a free pass! (UPDATE: Ron Paul has since called Santorum a "fake", both in TV ads and to Santurum's face in a CNN debate!

Previously, Paul had also personally went after Herman Cain, Michelle Bachman, and Rick Perry when they were among the "frontrunners"....but never Mitt Romney! 

Rick Perry: Ron Paul was the first candidate to call attention to Governor Rick Perry's controversial scheme to have every Texas school girl injected with a vaccine for certain sexually transmitted diseases. This TV debate attack so angered Perry that he aggressively confronted Paul during a commercial break, grabbing Paul's arm and wagging a finger in his face.

Herman Cain: When Cain replaced Perry as a "frontrunner", Paul chose to directly confront Cain (not Romney) during a PBS debate. He called out Cain as a former member of the Board of the Federal Reserve, and "a true insider."

Michelle Bachmann: During an appearance on the Jay Leno show, Paul created controversy when he said of Bachmann: "She hates Muslims."  But during that same interview, Paul said of Romney: "He's a good man."

Why does Mitt Romney ALWAYS get a free pass?

Mitt Romney is as much of a hypocrite, liar and scumbag as Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Michelle Bachman, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum are. During the 2008 Republican Primary TV debates, Romney would actually laugh out loud as Ron Paul was speaking! Romney's history of breathtaking "flip-flops", support of liberal policies, support for the 2008 TARP Bailout, and his "chicken-hawk" dodging of the Viet-Nam War draft, would make for devastating attack ads! And yet, even as Romney continues to lead in national polls while racking up wins in state after state, there is only token criticism from the Paul campaign. Indeed, Paul even praised Romney as "a good man" and "someone who understands how the economy works."  And when Romney clumsily stuck his foot in his own mouth by saying: "I'm not concerned about the very poor." - it was Ron Paul who rushed to Romney's defense, pointing out that Romney was quoted out of context. A noble act to be sure....but WHY help your opponent when he's in trouble? Why the double standard Ron?

.

WHAT IF the campaign had run anti-Romney TV ads such as this Grassroots You Tube video? Romney could have been beaten in the early states and his campaign may have collapsed! 

Have GOP moles infiltrated the Paul campaign?

Who is Jon Downs?

The man responsible for the highly effective attacks ads that hurt Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum is Jon Downs, a long time DC based political ad man who had worked for George Bush's campaign in 2000. Downs not only describes himself as "a mainstream Republican", but candidly admits: “I wouldn’t consider myself a member of his (Ron Paul's) army.”

Downs is a hired mercenary, not a true believer. The Gingrich & Santorum attack ads, coupled with the pass that Downs has given to GOP darling Mitt Romney,must be viewed through this political prism. The destruction of Newt and Rick helped Romney as much, or more, as it did Paul!

.

What does Mrs. Downs have to say about this?

Jon Downs is married to Alicia Downs, a long time Republican political operative who served as a Regional Political Director for the Republican National Committee!!! Alicia is currently serving as a consultant for Mitt Romney's political action committee! (here) The Establishment blog known as Politico even named Alicia Downs as "one of the top 10 politicos to watch! (here)

Other possible acts of sabatouge:

• When grassroots activists organized a professional direct mail campaign (Super Brochure Project) unnamed "campaign staff" took cheap shots at the creative and beautiful mailing piece. Online activists began fighting among themselves over the funding of the Brochure mailings.
• Days before the Iowa Caucus, the campaign told volunteers to NOT come to Iowa to monitor potential vote fraud. "We have it under control", the activists were told. Strange anomolies took place in Iowa, but the campaign never tried to prevent the real possibility of fraud. 
• The campaign's "Phone-From-Home" initiative was so poorly managed, that numerous volunteer callers reported being yelled at by angry voters because they were being called 5-6 times per day by the Paul campaign! This happened so frequently, and was never corrected, that is suggests internal saboutauge.
• Ron Paul ran weakest among Senior Citizens. Amazingly, there were no Senior specific ads to win this important demographic. When the campaign should have been targetting Seniors and attacking Romney, it chose to keep wasting money attacking 2nd tier losers instead!
• While all of his rivals were busy with final days campaigning, Paul returned to Texas the weekend before the Iowa Caucus. The media ridiculed him for this and his polls numbers dropped. The campaign played right into this media hyped public relations mistake. This inexplicable move was beyong dumb!

UPDATE: February 11, 2012: Victory in the February Maine Caucus was clearly stolen from Paul by Romney's operatives. Paul's stronghold counties were not even counted! To appease its supporters, the campaign issued a mildly worded statement of concern. But Ron Paul 2012 did not even attempt to contest the dubious final count. An opportunity to expose Mitt Romney, and really shake things up, was deliberately passed up!

UPDATE: February 25, 2012: Finally, Santorum himself is now stating what TomatoBubble.com has suspected since December of 2011, that Paul and Romney are in cahoots - and that Paul is playing the part of "wingman"!

Who is Doug Wead? 

Doug Wead is Senior Advisor to Ron Paul 2012. He is a GOP operative who worked for George Bush and Lee Atwater. Wead also worked for Ron Kaufman, a DC lobbyist who is Senior Advisor to the Romney campaign. Wead refers to the corrupt George "Read My Lips" Bush 41 as "a man of integrity." While working for Texas Governor and future President Bush 43, Wead secretly tape recorded Bush the Younger. After the 2000 election, he made the NY Times aware of the tapes, and released numerous excerpts - some a bit embarassing to Bush. Wead broke no laws, but he did betray the trust of Bush by taping him without consent. Prominent commentators referred to Wead as "scum" and "the lowest form of debris."  And this is the man that RP 2012 chose to orchestrate it's campaign?

Who is Bruce Fein? 

Bruce Fein is another high level "advisor" to the Paul campaign. Fein has worked for  warmongering neo-conservative/Zionist think tanks such as The Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute. As a paid scholar at The Turkish Coalition of America, Fein denies that the post World War I Armenian Genocide was deliberately engineered by secular & Zionist elements within the Turkish regime (Young Turks). As a paid apologist for both Zionism and the Turkish state, Fein sells the DISGUSTING AND BIGOTED LIE that Armenian deaths were caused by disease, famine, and "murders by Muslims." It is beyond doubt that organized Zionism HATES Ron Paul. So, the fact that a Jewish Zionist Muslim-Hater would be working for Paul is very suspicious!

Do you get the picture now?

All that money that Paul's supporters donated to fund the ads against Gingrich & Santorum, appears to have been spent on Romney's behalf! Wead, Fein, & Downs are collecting big paychecks, while destroying Romney's enemies with Paul's money!

Did the GOP Establishment set a trap for Ron Paul, using double agents who refused to attack Romney as their pour poison (disguised as "expert advice") into Paul's ear? The phony pretext given for this no-attacks-on-Romney "strategy" is that they wanted to "first narrow the field down to just Paul and Romney."  When (and if!) the race does narrow to Romney vs. Paul, expect any "attack ads" on Romney to be watered down, too little, too late, and not nearly as brutal as the previous attacks which hurt the other candidates.

.

The only opportunities to have killed Romney's Juggernaut were in the womb (Iowa) or in the cradle (New Hampshire)

The Romney Express, having won Iowa and New Hampshire, is now STREAMROLLING!  Eventually, the other candidates may drop out and endorse "Mitt The Inevitable." Giddy with joy over a 2nd place finish in NH, the gullible Paul supporters who so blindly embraced the SUICIDAL  Don't-Attack-Romney-Until-The-Others-Are-Out-Of-The-Race scheme are delusional if they think that Romney can be stopped now.  This is why Romney, the same man who laughed in Paul's face in 2007-08, was so nice to Paul in 2011-12.

Ron Paul and his son-in-law / campaign manager Jesse Benton were much too trusting in hiring life-long agents of the criminal GOP. The Paul campaign could easily have taken out Mitt Romney. Just 1 week before the Iowa Caucus, Paul was actually leading! But Paul failed to deliver an Iowa death blow that would have catapulted his campaign and convinced the fence sitters to open up their wallets. Ron Paul was betrayed from within, his campaign being nuetered and misdirected by professional con-men of the first rank who had offered their "help" to a naive Ron Paul who is known for his loose management style. 

......Or.....maybe Ron Paul never really wanted to win? Perhaps his campaign was only meant to serve as an "educational effort?"  And who could blame him for not wanting to "go all the way" and then share the same deadly fate as Huey Long, JFK, RFK, and George Wallace. Something to think about.... 

Sorry Ron Paul fans, but you were played for chumps!
