Conference Call: Dr. Paul is Willing, Seeking Indications of His Support for 3rd Party Run

One point made on the call by Evan is that it would be a fresh start, no Jesse.

Benton is pretty wrapped up in the GOP, I can't see him making that leap.

I just wish I thought there was more to this.... but I would love it if Ron ran as President. I don't think it is worth it to take the step down and run as VP, though, the whole purpose for me would be getting Ron into the debates, based on his polling numbers.

I think you're pushing the wrong way with this SA.

Yes... Ron in the debates would be awesome.

But Ron in the LP VP slot = liberty movement unity AND Ron Paul on MSM commenting on the debates every night.

Ultimately, what paulite would deny a ticket w/ P in the VP? None
What "libertarian party" would deny a ticket w/ GJ in Pres position? None
And what "undecided, establisment scorn" wouldn't flock to a libertarian ticket w/ RP in the VP given choice Obomney, Roboma, or C?

Win win win. = 40% ???

There would be no greater smack in the face of the establishment and social order than GJ in the Whitehouse and no easier way for him to get there than w/ RP as VP.

And even if J/P ticket loses... it gave all the "protest vote" people a common ticket to chant for,

which gives "the anti-establishment" a moment of national unity under the "Libertarian" banner

and LIKELY a double digit showing in the election.

win win win... smack, finishing move, bonus completion points.

Unfortunately...No matter what happens, unity in "the movement" can no longer involve Jesse. Whether he earned that or not is up to debate... but his name only pushes us into factions and he needs to step aside or be told to.

The other unfortunate side of things is Ron no longer has a choice: He's the spiritual Captain and the ship is taking on water. Going on 80, old and grey or not... his honor and the future of his ship lies in how he ends this; how he ultimately passes the baton. Retiring into the shadows will only risk undoing all he has done and leave the liberty movement a bastard stepchild. In some ways... Ron HAS TO address us on Leno, and he has to continue addressing us in the future. For as long as he's able body and mind, there really is no possibility of "letting go"; he started a war of words, with potent consequences, and he has a legion of supporters whose light clearly still flickers without him.

RP Bowing to the VP slot on the L ticket
is a "bridge over troubled waters"
now-or-never opportunity for the movement
that should not be ignored.

As I said before no one limited the discussion to just VP. Obviously Johnson as an astute politician knows he is going to get much closer to having a desk in the White House by putting Ron in the top slot. He is a long-time admirer of Dr. Paul and has said in the past he would consider doing something like this. The Libertarian base should have no problem with this unless they want to remain a social club rather than holding real power. Libertarians would be named to top political positions so they could start telling us what's really going on in there.

I was sort of with SA in that I felt RP only as pres but maybe VP wouldn't be that bad. He could provide valuable advice to GJ...although I don't think in either scenario it would be a win unfortunately...but it could be the start of something big. A Ron Paul/Libertarian Party hybrid. I just don't think I'll be getting my knickers in a twist over it at this point.
 
Did anyone think to try and do a "Run for 3rd party Ron Paul" Moneybomb? Or anything similar?

Just to see if it would take off?

I posted this in the Jay Leno thread...thought I should put it on here:

I personally have zero interest in Ron being a VP candidate. The only point would be to get him into the presidential debates, otherwise I don't see why he would want to do it.

I ran into this website earlier: http://www.isidewith.com/

It looks like Gary Johnson has way more support than I thought...I'm not sure if I should think much about that website but with 2 million votes and seeing GJ beat Romney in almost every state that I've clicked on makes me think that it's worth a try for RP to go for VP. You never know what could happen...him polling 1% could be because everybody was just choosing RP over him. We don't know because there were a lot of people in the race. It could be way different if RP is on the ticket with him.

He polled 1% last week in Rasmussen against only Obama and Romney, Ron wasn't a choice.
