Indy run

[HollyforRP]

I think if he has to, he should run as libertarian instead of independant. Those who run as independant have a hard time even getting their names on the ballot.

If he run as a libertarian, he will probably have a better chance.

It begs the question Rob... is there a difference? John McCain will spend more money on national defense and keep entitlements in line to accomodate his voting bloc, seniors. The democratic nominee will spend more on national healthcare and keep entitlements in line to accomodate the biggest voting bloc (and growing) in the country, seniors.

Either way the government spends a shitload more money. This basic underlying point means that in the end we'll end up in about the same position. If the republicans cut taxes, it'll just hurt the dollar and we get screwed. If the dems raise taxes it'll wash by virtue of us receiving some services we used to pay for and the dollar maintaining a little strength. Neither party respects civil liberties, so I mean forget about that right now...

I have no qualms about how my vote for Ron Paul will affect the race strategically, because I understand that I'm voting for a bunch of centrist big spending authoritarian clones.

I'm voting for Ron Paul no matter what. I'm speaking in bigger terms. If he runs IND he'll lose his Congress seat. It will also be a blow to our movement's (and that's what we have) chances of getting Ron Paul Republicans elected.

colecrowe -

consider that your posts will NOT affect Ron Paul's strategy one iota. It's already in place, we just don't know it yet.

Therefore these continuous posts are just helping to create arguments and division. Anyone here over the past few days KNOWS that you, Maytheronbewithyou, and several others support a indy run. I could also name people on the other side.

We get it.

Ron Paul is gonna do what he's been planning to do. Let's stop arguing about it in the dark.

Consider the psychological effects on the support base of having to constantly deal with posts along these lines.

This keeps us hopeful and excited. What is psychotic and psychologically damaging is the belief in a fairy tale called the brokered convention.
