To racap this thread, like a ninja master, I deflected all the arguments against my position with ease why Ron should run for the LP in 2012. People who post a facepalm picture utterly fail to present a rational aguement. I facepalm your facepalm. Why wouldn't Ron Paul as a Libertarian...

If Ron does run as a Libertarian, the Republican would be taking votes away from him. As so what if Obama wins. That might be a good thing, with the economy going bad. If a full slate of LP candidates reverses the Republican takeover in 2010, then Democrats in office will be held accountable...

Yes, but you miss the point, which most everyone else here in the RPFs do. ONE MAN CANNOT CHANGE THINGS. It takes thousands of candidates and millions of people supporting them. There are already millions of people in the USA who identify with the libertarian ideology. They view the Republican...

You facepalmers haven't risen to my challenge yet. Why don't you facepalmers man up and put out some REAL arguments. Why wouldn't Ron Paul as a Libertarian candidate WHO WOULD GUARANTEED TO BE ON THE BALLOT NATIONWIDE, with a full slate of Libertarian congressional candidates, plus state...

Sore loser laws prevent a candidate from running as a third party candidate if they don't get the nomination. That is why Ron should decide by the fall of this year to run as a Libertarian. Yes, a coalition should be considered. I disagree with hijacking anything. Why not be open and honest...

I agree wholeheartedly. But I am trying to promote the idea that libertarianism naturally belongs in its namesake political party. It doesn't belong in the Republican Party. The LP needs to grow and become bigger than the Republican Party. Until then, this is their best chance to receive...

Times they are a changin'. Many people are tired of the two old parties. The word "libertarian" is all around us now. I think it is time to take it mainstream.

Each state is different, so they should decide how to maximize their political advantage.

Explain. As a Republican in the general election? This isn't about just getting Ron on the ballot, this is about starting a genuine REVOLUTION, man. Ron is 76 years old, what will we do in 2014? Stay with the same lame Republican Party?

10 years ago "libertarian" was fringe. Now John Stossel, Glen Beck, and a bunch of prominent people call themselves libertarian. All of those libertarians would likely endorse Ron Paul. :cool:

And none of them had the national prominence at the time that Ron Paul does now. Once again, past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Can't ignore me, can you? Ron Paul WILL NOT BE ON THE BALLOT IN 2012. At least if he runs as a Republican. Revolution over.

Why don't you facepalmers man up and put out some REAL arguments. I know them already. 3rd partys = fale. No medea. Sore looser laws. Why wouldn't Ron Paul as a Libertarian candidate WHO WOULD GUARANTEED TO BE ON THE BALLOT NATIONWIDE, with a full slate of Libertarian congressional...

Yes, and I contend he should take that grassroots movement and create a third party that will eventually put the Republican Party out of business. Give the voters an honest choice instead of the phony two party system we have now.

Ross Perot was in the debates as a third party candidate. Ron has done well, I give him lots of credit. But there will come a point when libertarians will have to decide if they really want to trudge along with conservatives in the Republican Party. Please explain the reason/logic of...
