GOP Top Brass Discuss Strategies; What to Do About Paul and Returning to Core Values

[Ernest]

Should Ron not get the nomination, then for the first time in my life, I will vote FOR the GREATER of the two evils.

I hear ya Dary! I will either write in RP or vote for the worst candidate.

 

[dawnbt]

if ron paul doesnt get the nomination,i will not vote for either evil,ill write RON PAUL IN

+1

 

[ButchHowdy]

My vote is NON-transferable!

 

[davidkachel]

I won't vote if Ron is not in the race, and most of the RP supporters I know feel the same way. If Ron does not get the republican nomination, they are handing a victory to the democrats.

Think about what you said: if you don't vote, you have cast a vote for the Republican nominee! The bullet that is never fired is never felt.

Write in Ron Paul or vote for ANYONE BUT the Republican nominee if it is not RP.

Rush Limbaugh is now talking about "applying the core principles of conservatism" with Newt Gingrich right now. They are monitoring the conversation on this thread. We are being heard!

I am shocked that media pundits are reading this thread.

what are you getting at? what lead to that leap of logic?

 

[B of R guy]

The basic problem is for our message to truly succeed Republican politicians have to abstain from lots of power. Ultimately that is what small government conervatism/libertarianism is. I am not sure they will ever do that. Newt sandbagged me on the contract with America and I still have not forgiven him.

I hope he is reading this.

Sorry, might be for a good cause, but that site just made my eyes bleed.

 

[Primbs]

Rush did say there is one candidate who upholds conservatism. He wouldn't mention Ron Paul by name when talking to Newt.

 

[michaelwise]

I would like to stick this thread up the GOP's ass.

Ya know if the top GOP Brass is reviewing this thread or other party operatives are monitoring this thread... Comments like the last will not go over to well for us.

Wow a lot of speculation here on this thread. I also love the whole "If RP isn't the nominee I won't vote!" Let me ask this question, what exactly do you think not voting is going to do? Not voting is the same as watching some guy next door murder his wife and let him get away with it. If you don't vote, you can't whine about the loss of civil rights. Because, you didn't vote to get someone in there that might stop the loss of civil rights. I'd also, love to your reasons for not voting and how you justify it. :>

For me, morally, I can only vote for Ron Paul. I can't vote for any of the Turkeys running as republicans because of the war issue. I cannot violate my conscience like that. The dems are a conscience issue for me because of the Abortion issue, even with someone like Kucinich.

I will either write in RP or not vote at all. That's like asking me to vote to murder someone either by blowing them up or aborting them. I can't stop the carnage by myself, but I can abstain from facilitating it. At least by not voting (or voting RP via write in) I am sending a message of disapproval. I know, one lousy vote won't make a difference one way or another. But I will not be a party to it.

 

[Marc3579]

ishv a moral obligation to not vote? I'm all for writing Ron Paul in, it's what I will do if I have to in the end. I'm not saying one vote won't count one way or another. What I'm saying is that, by not voting you are still accepting status-quo.

By voting in favor of anyone (Rep or Dem) but RP I am endorsing the status quo. I may not be able to stop it, but I will not help it. I will write RP in (if I have to).

Here's some interesting reading for the Paulhive lurkers. This thread is truth.

 

[EvilNight]

I don't trust the Republican party. They've become an unmitigated disaster.

I do trust Ron Paul.

The only option I will accept is a full endorsement of Ron Paul and his policies. If (and only if) the Republicans back Paul, I'll vote for them. Otherwise it's Democrats and Libertarians for me. I have no interest in voting for any of the snakes they are currently toying with for nominees.

Yesterday I got a survey (full of biased questions) from the RNC.

Today I sent it back empty except for the Ron Paul slimjim.

Postage paid.
