Getting Ron Paul voters to support the GOP Ticket

[Dianne]

I will NEVER vote for Romney, or Obama!

For me, it's Johnson or I'm staying home.

ditto

 

[sparebulb]

.......and right now liberty is popular in America.

I disagree.

It is a fringe movement.

 

[puppetmaster]

Yeah, but he'll flip flop and take political positions that are popular, and right now liberty is popular in America.

so are taking away gun rights..........

No honest conservative could pull the lever for Romney and have a restful night's sleep ever again.

Romney vs. Obama. It's like choosing whipped cream over butter - yeah, there's a difference, but is choosing one over the other actually gonna make you lose weight?

The GOP didn't get the message in 2008. In 2012 the message needs to be sent even louder - nominate actual conservatives, or lose.

If the GOP wants to nominate a liberal, then they can have one in spades as their president. The D's do so much better on that front anyways.

But voting for a liberal GOP nominee only serves to perpetuate the status quo. GOP top of the ticket must lose, again.

Nobody 'gets the message' if they're rewarded for bad behavior.

Romney's foreign policy seems to be almost exactly the same as Obama's. I don't see how any President could be more of an interventionist than Obama.

I don't see Obama as eager to send American forces into Iran as compared to Romney and his Bush cabinet.

What makes you Obama voters think he's not going to Executive Order himself to become Emperor?

Obama has to go period. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing I helped that disgrace "win" another term (which may become life).

Makes me physically ill voting for Romney, but Obama in the White House actually SCARES me.

 

[moostraks]

I wish to emigrate to this place of which you speak - to this land of "America," to this place where "liberty is popular."

It is not mythical, is it? You are not teasing us, are you?

Where might I find it? It sounds wonderful!



Obama did Bush one better: Obama is the assassin-in-chief. Bush was vile scum; Obama even moreso.

thank you for addressing these two posts...both of them had me saying are you kidding me.

If this were to be the case, why would he chance the run for his second term when he could just king himself now? The illusion is the faces change and that will be maintained to keep the masses pacified. It is continuity of policies that matters and that is why you get a choice between vanilla and french vanilla.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Let me play Devil's (Romney's) advocate here. These is a reason to vote for Mitt, and that's to get rid of Obama. An exchange of evils. And that argument only matters in swing States. Zero reason to vote for Mitt or Obama otherwise.

 

[Occam's Banana]

I don't see Obama as eager to send American forces into Iran as compared to Romney and his Bush cabinet.

You mean you don't see him as eager to send American forces into Iran *before* he is safely re-elected.

*After* he's re-elected, he'll have more ... what was the word he used with Medvedev? Ah! Yes, I remember now ... he'll have more "flexibility."

thank you for addressing these two posts...both of them had me saying are you kidding me.

Yeah, I mean, it's kind of obvious, right?

 

[opal]

They're both dangerous.. and I can't vote for either of them

I'd rather eat glass.

Liberty in America is more popular than it used to be. Just look at the polls that show that over 50% of Americans support legalizing marijuana.

I understand that Romney isn't an authentic conservative, but do you think that Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum are any better than Romney? My guess is that people here would be complaining about the GOP candidate no matter what. (As long as Ron didn't win.) I personally don't buy into the rhetoric from the free republic types that Romney is a liberal, and we should've nominated a conservative like Santorum and Gingrich. I'm no fan of Romney, but I personally think that he's better than Santorum and about the same as Gingrich.

Getting Ron Paul voters to support the GOP Ticket

 

[DamianTV]

Do we think that there is ANY sort of a difference between the two parties? After the shit they BOTH pulled during their Conventions, the Ordinary Man has NO Voice in Politics. We live in a Top Down Political System. A Facist Kleptocracy. And that is the way things are going to stay until something big enough happens to destroy the illusion of both parties, which I dont think is that far around the corner.

 

[Deborah K]

I refuse to participate in a rigged system.

I'm not saying vote for Romney, but it's pretty clear that Romney is the lesser of two evils when he has better stances on issues like taxes, regulations, energy policy, etc. I don't really have any reason to vote for him living in a non swing state, but he's certainly the lesser of two evils when compared to Obama.

How evil someone is must be viewed in context of how much power they might have.

Obama has only 4 years left and he will be a lame duck sooner than Romney but ineffectual regardless (unlike Romney). Obama has little hope of controlling Congress but Romney could combine the honeymoon period with little-to-no congressional opposition. Only two-full terms makes Obama go away, otherwise he could be back in 2016 or 2020. Only general election defeat makes Romney go away.

A victory for Romney means no liberty GOP candiate in 2016. The GOP takeover strategy will be fought by someone with powers to imprison and assassinate US citizens at will without trial. The convention is an example of power without even being POTUS.

Romney needs a new hobby besides "running for president". It is our job to help him transition.

A guy who will remove duly elected delegates with no valid justication? Who will remove members from a rule committee if they oppose his power grab? A guy whose cronies will have other opposing rules committee members literally kidnapped on the bus that's supposed to deliver them to the convention, and keep them driving around in circles, detained until the vote is over? A guy whose big power grab rule change was passed in complete violation of the rules of order, with a pre-scripted outcome playing on the teleprompter?

As much as I dislike Obama, personally I would rather see him continue with the power of the NDAA than Romney. If Romney wins I fear Guantanamo could start filling up pretty quickly with anyone who is still working to try to get Liberty candidates elected within the GOP. Maybe that sounds a bit dramatic, but he has just shown us how EVIL he is and from what I can see, it isn't in a "lesser" kind of way.

Romney is never getting my vote. Never, ever, ever. Writing in Ron Paul!!

From the OP article:

3 Ways Romney, Ryan, and the Republicans Can Woo Libertarian Voters

1. Get serious about cutting spending.
2. Get serious about bringing home the troops.
3. Get serious about staying out of personal lives

If I have to tell you this, you're not really serious about being wooed to begin with.

"Give me a quarter and I won't burn down your house"

Der...uh...um...okay.. uh, wait, you're not supposed to do that.

"Oh, yes, that's right... now just get me in a position to control you and we'll start doing things your way"



EDIT: HOLD!!

I hadn't read your post yet, hadn't gotten that far, but this is exactly what I was thinking. We have seen evil, and its name is Romney.
