Glenn Beck says he would vote for a third party/ Ron Paul for president...TRUE

bump

Evidence for this?

Ron said himself that the Republicans are resisting him by not counting votes in Louisiana. He could easily run independent. If the GOP then said he can't run for his congressional seat, he should just run for the congressional seat as an independent aswell. And he doesn't need to run for the congressional seat because we are gonna win!

The Republicans left him, he didn't leave them.

Sigh. Compare turnouts for republican primaries, the compare turnout for general election.

Sorry. Reality check.

If RP runs 3rd party for President, he can't run Republican for his congressional seat.

If he runs 3rd party does he stand a chance of gettng on the ballot considering the lack of media coverage we currently enjoy?

Shouldn't we focus on winning the nomination of the Republican party by whatever means necessary rather than focusing on a 3rd party run?

Just questions.

As stated above by "A Ron Paul Rebel", I also think we really need to uderstand the "why" behind any offer of support from Glen Beck. He has had the opportunity to be a supporter of RP all along but he hasn't done much positive so far.

The GOP is going to flood money to get him ousted from his congressional seat anyway.

QFT.

This isn't a percentage game. It's a numbers game if we're to compete in the general election.

Just about every one of us votes for him... and we get some GOP'ers and Dems to do so to the point of getting ~20% max in caucuses only.

Once you add in the additional MILLIONS of voters in each state who DO NOT vote in the primaries, we will be swamped... UNLESS Dr. Paul is a GOP candidate in the right place, at the right time, against the right opponent.

That's been our hope from the beginning. Right now, we have to keep getting GOP delegates, to keep a chance at the nationals.

QED

He is absolutely right--and honest--to say that he "has no intention of going iNDEPENDENT or Third Party" because, right now, his only intention is to win the Republican nomination. He 100% fully intends to wholeheartedly run and try his best to win as a Republican while he is running as such, and he says so. He has NEVER, EVER said "I will not run iNDY". He has never, ever said "I will never run iNDY". But IF it becomes clear he cannot win the nomination, then he can go independent.

I would be very, very, very sad if he didn't go iNDY. He could win it, especially against Hillary (and she seems like the chosen one (it's all about the superdelegates).[/quote]

I posted this in another thread, but I'll post it here too:

Look at it from Ron Paul's point of view. He doesn't even like running for President. He said he tried a third party before, and didn't like it then. Nothing in life is guaranteed, and something drastic could happen that would make him want to be a 3rd party candidate, but it's very unlikely anything that drastic would happen. That's why he always says he's 99.99% sure he's not running for a 3rd party. Nothing is guaranteed in life, but he's not planning on anything past the GOP primary. And I believe him.

Put yourself in his shoes. He's probably tired of campaigning. He likes the attention he got, and is amazed at all his new supporters. But at the end of the day, he's a very reluctant politician, and doesn't want to be flying around the country for the next 10 months, running for President. He said it's hard to get on ballots, and since you can't get into the debates, what's the point? He knows he'll just be ignored by the media, and figures in the end, he'll get just enough votes to beat the margin of error.

He doesn't "owe" his supporters a 3rd party run. He's never hinted that he would run 3rd party if his GOP bid fails. He's been in dozens of nationally televised debates, and gotten his message out to a large crowd. Most people who don't care about politics, won't care about his views. Those that do care, already know about his platform and ideas. So yeah, I suspect he is being honest every time he says "I have no intention of running". We trust Ron Paul on everything else, let's trust him on that.

But he has something now that he didn't have in 1988....us.

Right. And Ann Coulter will support Hillary.

I smell a fish. Or maybe I just smell Ann Coulter.

I don't know why people are so surprised. I have heard Glen Beck speak highly of Ron Paul. He is one of our best allies in the media.

[dvictr]

You guys have to understand: With McAmnesty vs Hillary, we will pick up millions of anti-illegal-alien voters, for starters. Ron can do better than Ross Perot in 1992.

+1

 

[alienpyro]

yea yea.... way better than perot

No...parties can get ballot access and the libertarians already have access in more than 30 states and usually end up with 45+ states. With Paul as their candidate, they would likely have the money and recognition to get all 50 states.

Oh cripes..come ON..we can't even get him on all the ballots as a Republican!! People aren't gonna vote some vrazy third party stuff..GET OFF IT
