(ThyBlackMan.com) It seems Texas Republican Congressman Ron Paul is assisting former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney’s bid for the Republican nomination.
According to NBC News, the Ron Paul campaign is passing around opposition research to the Mitt Romney campaign, focusing on thwarting former Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Rick Santorum’s rise in the polls.
The report is the latest making the rounds. The New York Times reported earlier this week that Ron Paul and Mitt Romney have developed a close friendship during the 2012 campaign, with the Texas Republican saying he discusses a number of issues with the Massachusetts Republican. 
“I talk to Mitt Romney more than the rest on a friendly basis,” Ron Paul said. ”I throw Mitt Romney’s name out because he’s made a bigger attempt to do it. The others are sort of just real flat.”
The candidates’ spouses, Ann Romney and Carol Paul, “know each other better than any of the other wives,” Ron Paul said. He and Mr. Mitt Romney talk “all the time” and “we’ve met all their kids.” Once he telephoned Mitt Romney just as Mr. Romney was calling him. “Sometimes I’m never sure who issued a call,” he said.
With Rick Santorum potentially on the brink of upsetting Mitt Romney in state of Michigan next week, the Paul campaign is targeting the former Pennsylvania senator for what it says is hypocrisy. The Ron Paul campaign released an ad on Tuesday, attacking Mr. Santorum’s support of a number of policies that the Paul campaign said lead Republican voters to question the Pennsylvania Republican’s conservatism.
Titled “Fake,” the Ron Paul ad highlights Mr. Santorum’s support for raising the debt ceiling, his backing of the expansion of the Department of Education and his support for No Child Left Behind. It even accuses him of sending billions of dollars in aid to North Korea.
Note: Should Ron Paul continue to reach out to Mitt Romney? Or Dr. Ron Paul need to look out for self, yes never help your political enemy. Ron Paul supporters speak up.
