Yep. Let's go third party! Don't care how doomed it is.

I don't think they'll need our help pulling that off.

 

[UNC08]

Well, they only spent 188K in Super Tuesday advertising, so they might be out of money.

But even when you consider where the other resources were spent, it seems they made a misstep (other resources being appearances, mentions in media and campaign events/formal campaign presence).

Whether intentional or not, the GOP selecting anybody other than Paul was a "scorched earth" vote. They've signed their own death warrant. Obama is going to trounce whomever his opponent is, as there is no legitimate way for the general to be fought over relevant issues for more than a fraction of the population.

I predict the worst voter turnout ever.

 

[toast]

I will be honest -- I expected no wins today. But still, I suddenly feel very sick to my stomach.

 

[ONUV]

plan b also includes focusing on congressional elections. nose holding might be acceptable. if we can't have paul we have to have a opposition congress to obama. a stagnant government is the 2nd best option.

 

[rockerrockstar]

We should be happy Ron Paul won second place in 5 states. Sure it would have been nice to win some of them but second place in that many states is good.

 

[Esoteric]

plan b also includes focusing on congressional elections. nose holding might be acceptable so obama can't get any of his policies implemented.

That will not stand. We will not settle again, and see no changes, again. If we do, we don't deserve liberty.

Maybe the draft will wake Americans up.

Thanks, but no tanks.

 

[Mark37snj]

Plan A is a Delegate strategy, not popular vote. Were on course so no need for plan b.

 

[UNC08]

A draft would wake up the young people. They're already lucid, for the most part. The old people will continue to vote overwhelmingly for ruination.

 

[dillo]

theyd never be able to reinstate a draft for a foreign war

 

[Wooden Indian]

Okay, I have a van full of voters ready. Can someone point me to our caucus...?
Gosh, can't wait for Super Wednesday... tomorrow is gonna be tits!

Signed,

Thousands of Ron Paul supporters

[helmuth_hubener]

srsly?

Who the hell are these people and why in gods name do they support him? Honestly, what's they're reasoning?

They are Fox News viewers, and they are basing their votes on the coverage Fox News has been having on Santorum.

Seriously, that's who they are, and that's why they do it. I've talked to them.

See, these people are part of a sub-culture: people who pay attention to and care about politics. Most people don't. They do. In that sub-culture, part of what you do is keep up on current events and such, and find opinions with which you can agree (and then parrot to your friends) on the various different issues. They don't like liberals, and the whole media is liberal-biased, so they do that by watching Fox News, and listening to radio stations with a Fox News feed. And that's good enough. That qualifies them to be acceptable members of the group. Everybody likes to belong.

We are part of a sub-sub-culture. We care about politics, but have devoted enough thought to it, or are consistent enough, or whatever, that we have even severed ourselves from the acceptable bounds of the "I care about and participate in politics" sub-culture. We cannot subscribe to Fox News nor to MSNBC. We can't agree with anything that either Joe Biden or Bob Dole says. We're outside the norms of acceptability in a subgroup already outside the norms.

The young people are lucid, and don't want to go. Their parents will watch them be forced to die against their will. Tragic and sobering...

 

[ONUV]

That will not stand. We will not settle again, and see no changes, again. If we do, we don't deserve liberty.

if the only choice is a candidate who will vote against obama vs a candidate who will vote with obama, how can you not vote for the former? unless, you don't vote at all.

A draft would wake up the young people. They're already lucid, for the most part. The old people will continue to vote overwhelmingly for ruination.

Sure, let's send all the young anti-war people to die in Vietnam so we end up with just more young war-mongers who dodged the draft like Mitt Romney.
