A Message from Ron - No 3P Run, we will continue the fight..

This is what loyalty to the GOP and believing in "the Revolution" and a 1/435th part of the House means to me:

This is just the last few months, just since the wonderful surge started working so well:

I haven't made up my mind yet. I said I was thinking Libertarian, but I will take a few days to sort out my feelings on the matter. Time for another drink right now though.

Have a few beers, shed a tear if you must, and get a good nights rest. But remember in the morning that next election cycle, you and your friends could be in the position to be endorsing, hosting and promoting a Ron Paul republican from within the party structure, instead of being on the outside looking in and damning the injustice of it all.
 
you need to realize that with the electoral system he would need to be able to win a state outright to get any electoral votes, besides LA he has not been able to do this in any of the primaries. I believe the only way to 3rd party run is feasible is if its McCain/Hillary, he would have no chance with Obama in there.
 
Yeah I've been wondering if something like this would be how it would go for some time now as well. This thing reads like a solemn concession speech, and as someone else pointed out, no calls for donations.

Read again what the man said:

1. But that does not affect my determination to fight on, in every caucus and primary remaining, and at the convention for our ideas, with just as many delegates as I can get.

2. In the presidential race and the congressional race, I need your support, as always.

3. We will not falter so long as there is one restriction on our persons, our property, our civil liberties.

Now.. Ron Paul is a member of the GOP. Ron Paul is trying to change the GOP. Ron Paul is going for his GOP seat in GOP controlled Texas.

I think we shouldn't write in Ron Paul's name in the general election if he's not running. We should support the Libertarian party, they hold essentially the same beliefs as Dr. Paul himself. This Revolution isn't about one man, but the message.

We can be a huge boost to the Lib. party's voting base. We should stick together and make a difference where it can be felt the most strongly.
 
I do have to laugh. I have identified a few trolls, lamenting with defeatist attitude.. ahhaha.

RON CLEARLY states "I AM NOT GIVING UP!". He does say with Romney out, convention is almost zero - BUT ROMNEY IS NOT OUT, he suspended his campaign. there is REASON FOR THAT.

Also, Ron does have an obligation to his constituents, thus his concurrent congressional bid IF the nomination does not work out.

What is the deal.

He says he is making things tighter and leaner, and he says he is moving on and he says UPWARD AND ONWARD!!!

GUYS. IF there is a GHOST OF A CHANCE, YOU GONNA TAKE IT!!!

HOW MANY OF YOU PLAY THE GOTDAYUM LOTTERY and THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE!!

So, ANTE UP. GET FOCUSED and lets do this.

WHAT IF RON WINS WASHINGTON? Or places second? What if in LA, we Place first or second.. MOMENTUM!!!!

You never know what tomorrow brings if you look towards it with hope and an obligation for opportunity. Right? We sure know what it will bring if we give up.

ONWARD AND UPWARD!!
 
What Will McCain Do Now?

I hear you, Cole. Don't give up. It's not over. RP's not done yet.

We don't know everything that's going on behind the scenes, or why certain decisions are being made. But as you of all people must know, it's always darkest before the dawn.

Keep the faith. And stand strong. This is our mission.
 
FUCK the GOP!!!!!

I share this sentiment. However, if we do not participate in the political process, I believe we will have accomplished NOTHING. I will continue our fight in the GOP (for now).

Personally, I believe all of the existing parties are dysfunctional in some manner or another, either organizationally or in their lack of sound princples. This angers me to no end, and I hope that I am not alone. :mad:

In any case, I'd like to encourage everyone to direct their anger toward influencing and participating in whatever organization they believe will be most effective in promoting an agenda of small, constitutional, non-interventionist, and peaceful goverment. We need not agree on what organization that may be.

As Ron Paul has suggested repeatedly throughout his campaign, its the message that matters...not the messenger. Keep fighting for our message and do not return to a state of apathy!
 
In a revolution, you have to pick and choose your own battles. The way to win it is to survive it. We beat the Brits simply because we were willing to keep fighting. That's how we'll have to win this one and that means changing course.

I'm in.

Liberty forever!

We get it, Crow.

You don't like the GOP. Reported for spam.

Now.. Ron Paul is a member of the GOP. Ron Paul is trying to change the GOP. Ron Paul is going for his GOP seat in GOP controlled Texas.

Whatever. I am gone. I will still support Dr. Paul with money, calls, and canvassing, etc. But I sure hope he runs iNDY if that seems like the best thing to do after March 4th.

I will write him a letter, an email, and call (each of those) every day nicely telling him how much I (and everyone I know) hopes he will go iNDY and save this country.

Goodbye (I'm just saying that because I'll probably be banned--but I don't care). You all act like you love the GOP more than this country.

You want me to put up, well then here (this is besides the over 300 cold calls and 200 houses I've canvassed, plus more crap--this doesn't count the $100 for the MLK money bomb, the $51 for the Anniversary money bomb, the 250 for the danged blimp, the 250 for something else I don't even remember now, plus 100 here and another 100 there, plus about 75 for my meetup collection baskets!):

BUT

I admit, and am happy to do so: There is no reason to think we need to go iNDY until we see what happens between now and March 4th. He MIGHT start stomping McCain based on low voter turnout due to apathy since the media has 110% called it for McCain, and based on how horrible a choice McCain is and how much he is getting lambasted in on the air and in print, and at the 'watercooler'. Especially as Iraq of course continues blowing up and the economy gets worse. Here is my proof:

2-8-08ronpauldonation.JPG


Thank you for your generous donation of $100.00!

Contribution received!

Thank you very much for your donation to the Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign.
Your donation will allow us to expand and grow our campaign.
We depend on donors like you to help us spread the message of freedom, peace and prosperity through Ron Paul’s candidacy.
You will receive an email shortly with a confirmation number.


But after March 4th...

I'm out if in a month's time he continues to win 0 states and still has less than 15% support and yet refuses to go iNDY (I'll still write him in and spread the word, make calls, etc., but I probably won't donate anymore, and I'll be very sad).

Well, I can safely say...if donations dry up....Paul will be forced to call it quits, so please continue to DONATE.

http://www.ronpaulwhitehouse.com/

my dad said he'd donate another 500 to Paul (IF he announces 3rd party) (he donated 200 on Dec. 16th--but that was when it seemed like he REALLY could maybe, possibly win the Nom. I would donate 500 the day he declares (even though it will hurt financially), whereas I can't afford to give anymore (I gave just over a 1,100 in Q4 to the cause--so shut up) for his Republican run; and gramps would probably wager another 1776.00

The 2nd and 3rd tier, broader-base of supporters aren't (many or most of them) going to donate MORE--if they already have once--because TO THEM it is obvious or at least nearly certain that he's not going to get the Nom from the Republican party (I'm not saying I believe that--but they DO). However, they would be very willing and enthusiastic about supporting him in an iNDEPENDENT run.

McCain's Presidential Ambitions Set To Be Swiftboated

http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/february2008/020808_presidential_ambitions.htm

Remnants of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth group that contributed to torpedoing John Kerry's presidential ambitions in 2004 are set to derail John McCain's hopes of becoming the Republican nominee by forcing the GOP to jettison the Senator and instigating a revolution within the party to return it to its conservative roots.
...
The campaign is being led by Sergeant Ted Sampley who has devoted much of his post-military career to campaigning for the safe return of lost POW's stranded behind enemy lines. He is Vice President of Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Rally Washington, D.C., which has no less than half a million active members.

Sampley also runs Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain organization, which has been instrumental in exposing the fact that McCain's status as a war hero and the claim that he was tortured in Vietnam is a complete fabrication, as well as highlighting the fact that McCain poses as a veteran's advocate yet abandons them on every turnkey issue.
...
Sampley dismissed the importance of McCain's delegate support, saying that as long as 10 per cent could be made to sign the pledge, the Republicans would be forced to jettison McCain, leading to a brokered convention and the selection of a different nominee.
 
You all act like you love the GOP more than this country.

Nope.

I'm a Democrat for everyone but Ron Paul.

For him, I'm a republican.

It's just, when the Republicans are out there creating bigger government than the democrats, it scares me. I want the republican party to be back to the voice of smaller government.
