Attention Media and GOP: "No one but Paul" POLL ADDED

[Captain Shays]

I think this idea, and this thread, are bad ideas. There are those trying to say it is ok to marginalize Ron because we 'aren't real republicans'. Each of us are individuals, and depending on who is the nominee we will individually decide to vote for that person or not. I can understand hurt feelings that Cain's win yesterday got media coverage Rons wins never get (including the one last weekend at the California statewide GOP straw poll). But that was yesterday, and bumping this constantly is a very in your face, and can create blowback, imho. Ron is working very hard INSIDE the GOP, and if picked up, this will make it that much harder for him.

Some of those on this thread tend to want to drive a wedge between Ron Paul supporters and the GOP in any event, but others kind of surprise me.

It sounds like you are blaming us for putting this wedge between us the the GOP. But THEY ignore our candidate. THEY called us terrorists, nut jobs, paulbots, childish, rowdy, immature, cheaters, liars, and just about everything else under the sun. THEY call our hero, our candidate who is a man of principle, honesty, integrity, intelligence "crazy old Ron" and "wrong Paul". THEY lied and lied and lied about the CPAC convention, the straw polls, the debate polls, his positions, his rhetoric and his philosophy.
Meanwhile THEY keep trying to shove THEIR chosen candidates down our throats who are globalist corporate controlled war mongers who send our kids into wars that have no legitimate value relative to our national security or protection of our liberty. THEY are the ones who keep passing law after law after law that take away more freedoms and threatened us with jail fines, loss of job, loss of children and loss of property. THEIR economic philosophy is driving us into debt for the next three generations and it's THEIR chosen candidates who will continue in ALL of the above mentioned abuses.

So I for one am happy and proud to hold the GOP hostage. They WILL NOT get my vote with one of the candidates that they are trying to shove down my throat while THEY ignore THE ONE man who can turn this country back to it's Constitutional foundings and restore our liberties and stop the endless and senseless wars.

you know what I say to THEM? I am more loyal to my country than to ANY party.

This thread is the wrong approach. We need the current mainstream GOP, we don't want to alienate them. Ron Paul's ideas don't seem so odd to them anymore. It's not 2007 anymore. All the other candidates are taking Ron Paul's talking points. We are winning. Soon enough we will be the mainstream GOP and take back our party.

One of many great posts in this thread that captured my sentiment far better than I could have.

perfect.
It's time to draw a line in the sand. If they would even treat Ron fairly instead of dismissing him, I would feel differently. It is not us giving the GOP establishment the finger, they did that and more to us long ago. And I honestly feel that the GOP establishment would prefer Obama to Dr. Paul. It's time to make sure the GOP rank and file get the message that this is indeed their choice.

All the other candidates are taking Ron Paul's talking points. We are winning. Soon enough we will be the mainstream GOP and take back our party.

Ron Paul's ideas are not his ideas. He learned them from the founding fathers just like we did. The GOP isn't agreeing with Ron Paul or us. They are trying to water down Ron Paul's message and hijack the liberty movement from under him just like they hijacked the Tea Party movement after it was born RIGHT HERE in this forum. Hopefully you don't believe them when they say they want to audit the Fed. Surely you can't believe that Huntsman has ANYTHING in common with Ron Paul when he says "we should bring our troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan". Obama said that too and the elites know it's what got him elected. They don't say that we should stop policing the world and bring ALL of our troops home from EVERYWHERE that they don't belong. They talk about "conservative principles" like Bachmann but then vote to reauthorize the Patriot Act.
What Ron Paul says taps into a sentiment that predates apple pie and baseball in the American mindset. We inherently don't want to police the world and stick our noses in the business of other countries. We're SICK of government getting bigger and more powerful and more authoritarian and less responsive.
What you're witnessing is the robber/rapist petting our heads while they abuse us and tie us up and violate us.
People were coming around to the message of freedom and peace and the Constitution until the globalist elites infiltrated the Tea Party. Now the Tea Party is hated with a vile seething hatred. They are called racists and haters and knuckle dragging morons. Even we don't want much to do with the present incarnation of the Tea Party because it makes us look bad yet the whole thing was born out of Ron Paul's campaign.

I won't stand by and let them do the same thing around here. I got one thing to say to those who want to water down this message

All the other candidates are taking Ron Paul's talking points. We are winning. Soon enough we will be the mainstream GOP and take back our party.

But it's the right approach. If they really want to beat Obama, they need us and that's it. They need us and they need the independent and liberal crossovers we're attracting in droves, or Obama is a two term president. And not only will the crossovers not stay with the program if these Republicans continue to ignore their own stated principles, neither will we. If they want to sell us, they have to have something to sell to us. Period.

Sticking by your principles just isn't that bad a thing. Really. If that's all they have to do to win, well, it just doesn't seem like all that much to ask.

That's why I posted the video of Why Don't You Do Right earlier in this thread, and in this signature. They're whining about why is it nobody loves them any more when their stated principles are so very good. Well, they are good principles. All they need now is to vote for the man who believes in them. That's all.

It just isn't too much to ask.

But what is the reason they are coming around to what he is saying? Is it because they are giving him credit, or is it because they're transferring his 'winning' ideas onto their candidate?

I'm pretty sure he didn't get to where he is because this movement has been politically correct. I'm pretty sure if that was the case, our numbers might be at where Gary Johnson's are.

 

[Endthefednow]

Just a thought to anyone who would like to vote for the Party and not The ONE. If you where a Ron Paul Supporter or the Question should be Why are you a Ron Paul Supporter? Do you or Do you not Agree that the FEDERAL Reserve is a private Corporation and not part of the federal Gov? Did you know that every dollar that the Fed prints we TAX payers have to pay interest on. Also, the US Congress has the Power to print money without any interest. Not to mention Ron Paul is for protecting our personal liberties I could go on and on but many of us hard core Ron Paul supporters agree with him 99.99% of all the issues he stands for. Why would any Ron Paul supporter want to vote for Cain,Perry,Mit or Obama?

I agree.

I don't know what it's going to take to prove to the rank and file mass of Republicans that the people they follow don't give a rat's ass if Obama is defeated, because Obama suits them as well as Clinton did--better, in fact, because Clinton didn't start so many profitable wars.

But if they open their eyes, and stop sniping at Democrats long enough to listen to them, one thing will become abundantly clear in an instant. No One But Ron Paul can send Obama home. No one.

[Theocrat]

Only Paul Has the Audacity to Change Hope

Most of us will vote on principles of liberty and freedom which we strongly believe in, and no one but Paul will do.

You may choose to play the "Anyone but Obama" game and sell out what you believe in for the lesser of two evils (once again), but for us, it is "No one but Paul"!

Yes, we can.

If you want to win the GOP nomination, you can't come off as a bunch of zealots issuing an ultimate. Just keep up the good work, convert voters one by one to the message and we can win this.

It isn't just us. We can deliver crossover votes. But only for a principled candidate. Without that, we have nothing to sell these independents and converts. Nothing. Nothing at all. And there's not a damned thing in all this world we can do to change that fact.

It isn't just us. It isn't. The only reason we can deliver these others is our principle and our man's honesty. Without these things, we'd have never even have gotten the independents' and disaffected Democrats' attention, much less their respect.

If they want to win, they have to buy what we're selling. Integrity. Principle. The real thing. Period. This isn't us holding them hostage. This is just the way it is.

How damned clear do I have to make it? What other way is there to say it? If we weren't zealots, we wouldn't hold the key to Obama's defeat. Would we?

We finally sold the nation on conservatism, or we're well on the way to doing it. Now all these Republicans have to do to win is nominate a conservative for a change. Come on! Is this really too much to ask?!

We are winning. We are approaching the tipping point. I see it often. When 10% hold an unshakeable belief the majority will always adopt it. We are right at the threshold now.

Only the rank and file G.O.P. faithful can stop us. And if they do, either they're being led down the garden path or they're cutting off their own noses to spite their own faces. Just like that. And I guess that's the message we need to get out now.

If you want Obama out you want Ron Paul in. Because no one else can steal enough of his 2008 votes to retire him. No one.

 

[AgentOrange]

Well, I am an independent. I will, and have voted for the candidate I consider both, regardless of whether they are on the Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Constitutionalist, Green or Socialist (or any other) ticket (OK, the socialist guy was a mistake on my part, but I was young and undereducated at the time) I won't say I won't vote for anyone but Ron Paul, but I can say that I will *not* vote for any of the current "front runners" for Republican candidate. I have no reason to believe that the current "front runners" will be any different from Obama. And I just don't go for voting "lesser of 2 evils". If a current front runner gets the GOP nomination, I will strongly consider writing in Ron Paul....I will also consider 3rd party candidates, especially the Libertarian and Constitutionalist nominee. If the Republican party wants me to vote for more Republican candidates, they they best be putting out more candidates who care about our country & its constitution.
