Another source has come out saying Ron Paul tinkering with 3rd party run.

There would have to be some Democratic support for such a ticket.

You have the blue dog Joe Manchin, Ben Nelson, types. I guess the Kucinich, Nader types would be on board.

And as I mentioned earlier, big money is needed. Thiel would give. Possibly Perot? The Koch brothers?

Adelson and Soros would be pissed, and probably dump a lot into their vested interests.

I have warned about third party runs in the past, but if there was actually a legitimate shot at this I would work my butt off for it.

My opinion doesn't mean much but I personally believe there is a legitimate shot at this.

Everybody should be on the call tonight to hear why.

I'm washing my hair tonight. Can you get just back on here and tell us the great news when you get it?

I think we are over focused on getting on all 50 states. If we have to run a write in campaign in a few, or miss one or two, I don't see that as a big problem, particularly if we don't think they are states where we would win electoral votes, in any event. The issue is getting into the DEBATES, and both time Ron was polled against O and MR last year, he broke 15%. (It would need more current polls, though.) But here is a study of the ballot access / sore loser issue someone looked at in 2007: http://www.ballot-access.org/2007/0...t-generally-apply-to-presidential-candidates/

That would then be the ammunition the pollsters need to leave us off polls and the ammunition the two-party system needs to keep us from getting in the debates.
 
Two of Reagan's top economists,David Stockman and paul Craig Roberts are Paul fans and off shoring was Perot's warning cry.Maybe Paul Craig Roberts could pay Mr Perot a visit if necessary as he talks about off shoring as the real problem right now.They were the leading lights of the previous golden boom and could be big news backing Paul/Johnson among Republicans?

Could you elaborate? Why is off shoring good?

Several pages ago there was a post I wanted to quote but this thread goes so fast, I forgot what post it was.. basically someone said one of the reasons they thought RP running 3rd ticket or indie was a bad idea is that if Mitt looses.. this group would be blamed..
two things here


IF Mitt looses? Really? someone still thinks after the crap pulled at the RNC that this fella has a chance in winning?

And about RPers getting blamed... so what? No matter what happens in this election - guess what group is the scapegoat here? I do believe we're used to it

Contrarily, after seeing how the Romney Syndicate operates, what chance would he have of NOT winning?
 
If Ron throws a press conference to announce and gives the reasons why he is running third with examples of our movement getting shafted...I can see how many people wouldn't blame him for doing what hes doing.

I honestly think MOST Romney voters would slowly jump ship as Ron's numbers rise in the polls, Republican voters don't even like the guy. They see a real conservative, they'll probably vote for him and that guy is Ron.

If Ron doesn't run...we may never have a third party opportunity ever again until one of the two party drops off the face of the earth.

Count that out: http://thewashingtonfancy.com/2012/01/09/ron-paul-arrested-outside-of-ross-perot’s-home/9788#

(its a satire site, lol)
 
Also, the current meme in the left wing news is that Romney was upstaged by libertarian Clint Eastwood.

Just sayin.
 
Regardless of ron getting in debates, gaining momentum or what ever, Ron Paul actively campaigning for The White House would mean Mitt Romney's presidential aspirations just went down the drain.
