It's so simple, really. For all the talk about party unity and the need to win and defeat Obama this time around, the GOP has the perfect answer staring them right in the face, and yet they continue to look right past him: Ron Paul.
Ron Paul has a pristine, decades long voting record. He's been happily married for 50-ish years to the same woman. He's an ob-gyn who's delivered over 4000 babies. He served in the military, and received the highest amount of individual campaign contributions from members of the military of any other candidate running in 2008. His name recognition is solid. He's pro-life and against gay marriage. He supports sound money, individual responsibility, a strong national defense, and family values. He is a born-again practicing protestant Christian.
Policy-wise, he would stop the inflationary policies of the fed, reduce taxes, and slash federal spending, including the elimination of several bloated and unnecessary bureaucracies. He would send money back to states and to individuals, where it rightly belongs. He would close military bases in foreign countries and ensure America's soil was solidly protected from enemies foreign and domestic. He would end foreign aid, and end Obama's wars. He would strengthen the US dollar. He would reduce burdensome regulations and reduce taxes on businesses so they could grow and hire more employees. He would protect SS and Medicare for those already on it, and would make plans to make those entitlements solvent in the short term and unnecessary in the long term. He would seek to end Obamacare.
He won the 2010 and 2011 CPAC Presidential Straw Poll, he is the chairman of the House Subcommittee on Monetary Policy. He regularly appears in interviews on all the news networks and shows like The View, Cavuto, and FreedomWatch.
Given all this, why isn't the GOP crowning him the nominee already? Why the cognitive dissonance? I ask myself this same question all the time. The silence is deafening and getting quieter. The GOP needs a candidate that can bring the tea party, the social conservatives, and the national security folks together. Ron does this. They also need someone who can go toe to toe with Obama against his big gov't policies. Ron can do this, too.
The answer is simple, Republicans. Nominate Ron Paul as the 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate, and we will defeat Obama and get America going.
