Campaign: What if Ron says this during tom debate...

[Publicani]

"I see no difference between Obama, George Bush and any of my opponents. If any one of them becomes the President, we'll have unemployment, inflation, Fed printing money, debt, endless wars, individual mandates, and bailouts. But if you, the voter, think that Obama is much worse than anybody else, than you have no choice but vote for me. My supporters will not vote for anybody else regardless of what I say or do. Regardless of the convention prime time speech, Vice Presidency, or whatever GOP might offer me. Regardless of who I endorse, I have no influence among my supporters in this regard. So, South Caroline, if you don't want Obama, you have to vote for me."

He can give this answer to the first question he's asked, regardless of the question. Why he is negative? He has to tell the voters the truth, because "I see no difference..."

Who he would support? Third party? Economics, foreign policy...
"I see no difference..."

 

[ShaneEnochs]

He'd be seen as a pompous jackass.

aka newt gingrich

He'd be seen as a pompous jackass.

Why? This is all true, isn't it?

 

[ShaneEnochs]

Why? This is all true, isn't it?

It doesn't matter if it's true. The way you have it presented would be seen very negatively.

 

[Paulitics 2011]

This.

 

[Publicani]

Ok, how would YOU present it?

 

[Edward]

Present what? A thirty second soundbite that sums-up who Ron Paul is? Na' ga' da.

 

[ropo]

He aint gonna win over any voters talking like that

 

[ShaneEnochs]

Ok, how would YOU present it?

"To defeat President Obama, we'll need a nominee that is the polar opposite. I am the only one that is realistically different from the President in every way that counts. If we continue down this path, as my opponents might have us do, we'll be facing disaster. I want to have a real audit of the Federal Reserve. I understand the business cycle. I want to end the wars. I was against the bailouts. I'm against individual mandates. I'm against raising the debt limit. I'm against expanding the powers of the president. These are conservative principles.

If there is one other candidate on this stage that can realistically say that, I'll drop out right now and endorse them."

Now that would create headlines.

Maybe you are right, but can you explain why? Is it because people will not believe him?
Or they will believe him, but despite giving Obama victory they will not vote for Ron anyway?

Damn. ShaneEnochs 2012!

 

[yeshuaisiam]

Or he could just make a funky scream. LOL.

 

[ShaneEnochs]

It's because no one likes being told what to do, and that they have no choice.

Saying that the other Republican candidates are just like Obama is going to turn off Republicans who would perceive that to be false. The statement about his supporters just makes us look like jackasses.

This is good, but it's not the final blow. Also, there's a risk that some of them say I am that candidate. And Ron will not be given time to argue against.

None of them can say that. Gingrich was for individual mandates. As was Romney. Santorum was for bailouts and raising the debt limit. They all want to continue the wars and expand executive power.

Ok, your first sentence could be addressed by saying "You may think there's a big difference between ... but look at ... and ..."
Your second sentence - so what? Ok, we look like jackasses, but we will give them Obama. Do they want that to happen?

 

[Edward]

None of them can say that. Gingrich was for individual mandates. As was Romney. Santorum was for bailouts and raising the debt limit. They all want to continue the wars and expand executive power.

They could all say that they want to end wars and a global US presence is the way to do so.

 

[Publicani]

None of them can say that. Gingrich was for individual mandates. As was Romney. Santorum was for bailouts and raising the debt limit. They all want to continue the wars and expand executive power.

They all have a history of occasionally not saying full truth regardless.
