This is largely how I feel and the important thing to member is that he statistically cannot win. So why did he endorse Romney? It could only hurt him with voters and it cut off us for funding. Why did he turn to the establishment for funding and then come crawling back to us this late in the...
This topic is the summation of the cult-like behavior Ron Paul supporters get accused of. You're voting for someone who legally cannot win in states that do not have demographics to allow him to win and who isn't even actively running, and the scary part is you think he can win.
Let's say...
I want to see the Libertarian Party get the largest percentage in its history so the GOP is forced to look at that percentage and say "If we had picked Ron Paul those people would have voted for us." Then in 2016 we may get a liberty candidate on the ticket if they're interested in winning...
He actually could have made a good commercial talking about how Minnesotans are independent and so is he, which is why he isn't endorsing Mitt Romney for president. That would get people to look at him, this just reinforces what most Minnesotans already think about Romney and those who would...
Endorsing Romney in Minnesota is suicide. He would have been better off endorsing Obama. The polls already heavily favor Klobuchar, this is effectively surrendering and trying to get on good terms with the party bosses. I guess he never really wanted to win.
My state doesn't count write-ins so the decision is already made. I have no qualms voting Libertarian the for my 3rd presidential election, it's what I did in the last two.
Yeah Minnesota the state with the longest blue streak of any in the country is "in play". I live in Washington and a bunch of people at our State Convention here thought Romney could win. Delusional supporters are everywhere. He has 0 chance of winning either state.
I've yet to hear what exactly is wrong with Gary Johnson. Who are we supposed to vote for in November? Obamney? Gary Johnson isn't perfect, but he's the only liberty candidate on the ballot in most states. And don't suggest I should write in Ron Paul, first of all my state doesn't count...
As much as I want that to be true I feel like the GOP is an unkillable beast that will be dragged kicking and screaming into modern times. It'll adapt to our message, but never embrace it. It'll simply keep coopting any dissident movement, just like the Democrats do (Civil Rights, Anti-War...
This and also who honestly thinks Romney gives a damn if they're liberal or conservative when he switched from one side to other multiple times himself? He'd probably appoint a flip flopping judge like Bush Senior did.
