in case you haven't heard, RP could run in 2012

he has a "name" across the country now. he is much more well known, if he had a well known strong vp, we might just have a chance.
Paul/Ventura 2012
:)
 
im thinking sanford is a neocon. from what ive read if not paul/ventura, paul/jackson or someone else in vp spot

besides ventura has the name & the strength to backup paul. i think they would make a winning team.

Paul/Ventura 2012 :)
 
If he announced a run, how much do you think his first moneybomb would raise?

not much to be honest.

I think we would odds are want to make sure the money gets used effectively and the best way that happened was when we did our grassroots efforts versus official campaign efforts.

If we had 20 million to use "grassroots style" we would have been able to canvass the entire u.s. 2-3 times over I think.

I would use the money to build up a grassroots base versus votes. Then use the grassroots effort to get the boots on the streets and get the voters.

I would also suggest that people don't run around looking like ron paul threw up on them, their cars and so on but rather look like an "Average Joe" that "Joe Public" would be able to relate with.

About 1 million. If Ron Paul was serious about running his time was this year, not 2012. Benton wants him to run so he can have a job, I don't blame him for that. But Ron has no intentions of running again. He made that quite clear when chose to remain in the Republican party and ridicule 9/11 truthers.

Where should Ron Paul go besides the republican party? He is a republican. Why should HE leave when the party has lost its way? He should stay and we should help him take it back versus starting YET ANOTHER insignificant party that has and will possibly never win an election anytime soon.

no comment on the 9-11 stuff

He's a lifetime member of the LP. ;):D
 
Ron should definitely run again. Even if he doesn't win, do you know how many more people we can wake up? Our numbers will grow exponentially. People are frustrated with the GOP, so this perfect timing.

Again, if RP runs again, he better actually be trying to win. Lew Moore and Jesse Benton had better not have anything to do with the campaign.
 
I don't care he's old or if he viable to win. If Ron Paul runs again, I'll have a reason to make a lot of nosie... a reason to go out and educate... a reason to keep on fighting.

Reagan left the Democrat party when they lost their way. Regan proclaimed he didn't really leave the Democrat party, they left him. Well the Republican party has left Ron Paul, he has no shot as a Republican, none.

If you have no comment on 9/11 then why say anything about it?
 
Leaving the Democrats for the Republicans is not the same as going third party. Remember that third parties are legally handicapped, and not merely unpopular.

If Ron Paul has no chance in the Republican party then he'll have less chance in a third party. Third party runs have made little to no progress in decades (including when Paul ran as a libertarian); compare that to how much we accomplished with one Republican run. If he runs third party then he'll get no attention at all, but at least as a Republican Paul got to be in the debates and was noticed in spite of attempted marginalization, because the media couldn't ignore him completely without ignoring the other Republicans as well. The results speak for themselves.
