How to deal with the blame we will get from the GOP?

[CountryboyRonPaul]

Guys, with new polls showing the race closing in, there is a problem I think we should be prepared for...

If it is an Obama victory, we all know what to expect from the GOP. They will lay the blame solely on our shoulders.

Perhaps that's what they want, either try to guilt us into voting McCain, or try to neutralize the movement by blaming us for sabotaging McCain's campaign.

Either way, I think we should be prepared to deal with these inevitable attacks if or when Obama wins.

WHO CARES if they BLAME US.

I find it LAUGHABLE that anyone would even CARE what the gop or some bullshit party thinks on these things. Another thing as well, Ron Paul NEVER polled within "striking distance" in any national poll anyways SO what would our 7% really do to STOP obama from winning over the gop?

The current GOP is NOT what it should be anyways and I hope WE rebuild it soon.

Also remember that people should be voting for a CANDIDATE and not a political party anyways

Deal with it? Easy. Say, "no, it's your own fault, asshole!" lolol

If the GOP had stuck to even a few of its principles nobody would even know who Ron Paul is. They only have themselves to blame. Having said that, McCain will most likely win which is probably worse for the GOP. It will take a monumentally horrid campaign by McCain to lose to Obama. He is running an awful campaign right now and is virtually tied in the polls when he should be down 15 points by default.

 

[FunkBuddha]

Not to mention the majority of the GOP treated Ron Paul supporters like shit. I can't believe they would even expect us to vote for McCain.

 

[CountryboyRonPaul]

This tactic isn't meant to influence us, it's meant to influence those outside of the circle.


Now, we should all be thinking of a tactic to turn it around on them. Not laughing at the people who are trying to plan ahead.


I swear, sometimes I think you all have no foresight.



Our goal should not be to say "FUCK THE GOP OMGZORS" But to try and lure others to our cause.

They are trying to neutralize our efforts.

 

[newyearsrevolution08]

The odds of me voting for mccain are dead even with the odds of me voting for obama.

I will vote for a no name just so my vote counts against the 2 presumptive candidates that they are trying to shove down our throats.

Not to mention the majority of the GOP treated Ron Paul supporters like shit. I can't believe they would even expect us to vote for McCain.

Compare GDP data to when Bush took office.
Compare unemployment rate to when he took office.
In fact, compare ANY metric you want, other than quoting some guy's opinion of the economy.

That's why the GOP is doing badly.

 

[CountryboyRonPaul]

Unless you want to let them turn Bob Barr into the next Ross Perot, I think it would be best to actually have a little foresight on the matter.

You all act as if the GOP holds no political influence over anyone... And that it is only our votes that are important.

This.

Not this.


My gut feeling is that Obama will win and if that happens, the GOP brung it on themselves for pushing a candidate who is unacceptable to much of their base.

If McCain can't beat a police state socialist like Obama on his own, what good is he?
or
Looks like you guys backed the wrong Republican.
or
I told ya so!

 

[CountryboyRonPaul]

I NEVER said we were to blame.

I said we should be prepared for the inevitable political attacks if McCain loses.


Seriously, unless you want to let them blame this whole thing on our movement with no retaliation on our part then continue to ignore what I'm saying.

History repeats itself, and I don't want Libertarianism to go the way of the Perot and the Reform Party.

They will try to neutralize us at every turn, all I'm saying is let's build a strategy to prevent an attack like this taking hold with those that are sitting on the fence.


They will use this to persuade other GOP'ers from standing up for their principals.

They will use this to persuade other GOP'ers to follow blindly party lines.

Do you really want that to happen?

 

[klamath]

Many republicans backed McCain because the polls showed he was the strongest against the democrats not because they liked him. You can never tell in the primaries who is going to be the strongest in the Fall. The Democrats made this mistake with Kerry.

 

[rancher89]

McCain's win in SC came out of left field, none of us saw it coming. He wasn't even placing well in the polls. We all thought that Huckabee was going to win...so much for polls.

As for the rest, let the truth tell the story.

[IPSecure]

Both parties are controlled by the same people... This 'war' between the Republicrats is just a game to keep our attention focused away from what is really going on...

 

[CountryboyRonPaul]

Seriously, did this just turn into a chat forum after the campaign ended?

All I'm asking for is the realization that the GOP will use this in the future to dissuade people from sticking to their principals.

You can ignore it, but I guarantee they will do anything they can to hurt any party that threatens to take away their voters.



You all act as though there is no point in even acknowledging it. All I said was be prepared, maybe we can even use such an attack to garner support for our cause.
