Can GOP Dump Romney and Nominate Ron Paul?

[FSP-Rebel]

I think we just need to let the RNC take its course and if our delegates can pull it off then great. Otherwise, continue building our influence in the GOP at all levels and get more of our people running for office. In my local area, the insiders know they got upset by Ron Paul and his base who was able to coalition-build with other conservatives all the while denying the establishment their votes as they normally aren't use to this happening.
They feel the shift and it's up to every one of us to do our part in our area to kick the establishment to the curb. If things are slow in your particular neck of the woods, still do what you can to help the areas that are seeing progress. Then as we become more prominent across the board, it will be easier to buckle the insiders elsewhere.

Your post always imply that I'm some sort of troll...as if I never supported Paul in the first place.

Nope. I am implying that the unnecessary chatter is unnecessary. We don't need your frikkin' reality checks. We are all adults. You act as though we are stupid and you are smart. Expect blowback.

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to erowe1 again."

See. Typical bullshit from you..,and you wonder why I had a smackjob heading your way. Erowe has been against this since I can remember. He plays BS games where he pretends but it comes out now and then prior and now it is all the time. He is simply a debbie downer and wants us all to commiserate and give up. Ain't happening and all your plus reps mean shit in a dead carcass. You all just should simply take a hike if yer all that sure. WTF are you hanging out for.. To try and rub our faces in your dirt? I will rub it right back in your dirt.

Ron Paul 2012 !! Darn it !!

 

[freedomordeath]

EDIT: I want to ask a question. Do some of you guys honestly believe that Ron Paul will be president?

Remember what Dr Paul told us, run the race till the finish because the dude ahead can stumble and fall.. it ain't over till its over and we CANNOT GIVE IN TILL THE END. You know what the qualites are of special forces, is strength of mind and not to ever give in and being smart. All the miltary skills is a side show, because they after the ones with the strongest mind that will not break. We are the special forces of political activism. To be a realist DOES NOT MEAN WE GIVE UP... its ok to stick to facts, but always look at away to win ALWAYS.

Can anybody explain to me why the GOP would want to nominate RP, when he didn't win one single state by popular vote? Seriously?

Don't forget the money. Romney has raised hundreds of millions to take on Obama. What is Paul's cash on hand?

So glad the convention is this month. We're finally coming to an end with these delusions.

The vote machines are computers. They had to vote flip to extremes to prevent Paul from winning states. The GOP are not about nominating the popular winner. They're about forcing their chosen bloodline CFR man to the coronation. The question why would they want to nominate RP -- the answer: they wouldn't without a reversal of personality that only comes about from near death experiences. They are evil and they would have to become at least like a normal person before they could want RP nominated.

Has it occured to you this isn't the 1st election they've steered to an outcome they liked... how many suitable well intentioned candidates just never get any national attention.

What makes you so sure?

The people saying it's not over will still be obligated by their own words, even after the general election, to push for a way of getting all the electors who are supposed to vote for Romney or Obama to vote for Ron Paul instead. It's all about the electoral college!

 

[erowe1]

Remember what Dr Paul told us, run the race till the finish because the dude ahead can stumble and fall...

That is not Ron Paul's position. Just yesterday the official campaign called an attempt to convince the delegates to dump Romney "disgusting and highly inappropriate." Rand Paul has been openly backing Romney ever since Ron conceded defeat months ago. The Paul's have moved on. They're pushing the freedom agenda in other ways now, such as by focusing on other races. Some of us have chosen to join them in that, rather than dwell on the 2012 presidential election.

And what do you mean by talking about us giving up anyway? Is there anything you or Rev9 or anyone else here is actually doing to help Ron Paul become president in 2012? Or is the opinion people express on the internet the thing that distinguishes someone who runs the race to the finish from someone who gives up?

this. Why on earth would you give up when the race is still on? It simply makes no sense. Particularly when there was always more to this race than just winning.

Stealth delegates in place... LFRP paving the way... Stealthies need an excuse to switch... Stage set with PaulFest and Dump...

I love it when a plan comes together. Well played Doctor.

THE PAULs haven't that I see, RAnd has. Benton has.

Ron may not think fighting it will do much good, and doesn't see his uniqueness in the field as many of his supporters do, but there is no way you can watch his speech at the Texas GOP convention the day AFTER the email about not expecting to have enough delegates, and a few hours before Rand on Hannity endorsed Romney and think he is on the same page.

Meanwhile, this is Ron Paul's campaign forum and don't denigrate his viability as a candidate in his own forum. Whatever different people think the MOVEMENT is about, the campaign, and the support of people who put $39 million and thousands of hours into it, is to push Ron as a candidate for president, to win if we can or to shine the brightest possible light on the best pied piper for liberty this generation, at least, has seen, if we can't win. And one way or the other, that goes THROUGH Tampa.

Ever?

So in a few months you're going to be one of the "It's all about the electoral college" voices?

Also, if you're interested in what Ron Paul's campaign is about, Benton speaks for the campaign. I'm with the campaign. Are you?

I was going to say Tampa, but you know what? Yeah, ever. That is what this subforum is for, pushing Ron's campaign. Look at the mission statement for the forum. In THIS subforum don't trash Ron's chances. In Massie's don't trash his, etc etc etc.

People aren't here for you to come coopt to other purposes, those in THIS subforum are specifically here for Ron.

If the same U.S. marshalls who so far haven't been willing to arrest Obama and Holder for selling guns to Mexican drug lords and then lying about it and then stonewalling congress about it someone decide they'll arrest Romney, then I suppose that's possible. But what possible motivation would they have to do this? Upholding the law? Ha! Political advantage to Obama? Arresting Romney prior to the convention and allowing Ron Paul to become the nominee is hardly in Obama's best interest. I expect Romney to make it through the convention and then die the "death of a thousand cuts" politically soon afterwards.

The time to take Romney on for his financial shenanigans was during the primaries....when Ron Paul was defending him.

Ya know what.. Some of us don't care and are in this for other reasons. Ergo bullshit artists like Erowe are a pain in the ass to have to read when all they do is function as an autoblithering downer. My job is to kick that shit in it's teeth and add some upbeat. I don't give a good goddamn about what your "reality" is. I change my reality to suit my life..NOBP get's my momentum behind them. I don't care who is POTUS if RP isn't. I hope the essence of that is clear...because it certainly is to me. RP is America's President. The rest are shill for the corporation and do not work for the people. So support who you want but don't think we are firing short on all cylinders. We have changed the narrative and will continue to do so. What if Romney gets arrested by US Marshalls next week? It can happen and actually ought to considering his offshore funds, his connection to the ponzi scheme that netted his partner 110 years in jail and the Vatican slush fund of 700 million (Obamas is a few billion or more) that has or will be uncovered by Italian financial investigators. That is probably just the tip of the iceberg of bigtime corruption and organized crime connections that Romney made loot from./

Well technically Ron Paul won the popular vote in the U.S. Virgin Islands....but then lost the delegate battle.

For the life of me I still don't understand how that happened.

He won the popular vote in the Louisiana caucus as well. that caucus was open to ALL GOP voters, it is just like winning the Iowa caucus for Iowa, the only difference being Louisiana had a weird two part primary to be 'relevant early' having a primary that meant nothing -- then a general population (not by selection) caucus. The caucus was to pick delegate slates by popular vote.

but if you don't want him as president, coffeewithchess you are entitled to your opinion.

I can't speak for cwc. But I would love for him to be president. If circumstances removed Romney from being able to run and the convention opened up, I would be all for our delegates using all the leverage they had to get as many concessions as possible out of whoever ended up being the nominee. But I don't buy this stealth delegate talk. Neither does Ron Paul. And neither should this forum.

But we do feel the need to move some things to Hot Topics. If anything belongs there, it's the stealth delegate talk.
