Paul/Obama Ticket?!

[stefans]

I can't believe so many people voted yes

 

[Karsten]

I predict Obama will win the Democrat nomination anyway, so I don't see how this could work.

 

[tomveil]

People who support Obama aren't going to like a small government fiscal conservative at the top of the ticket. People who support Ron Paul are going to think Ron Paul has lost his mind, putting a liberal pro-war Democrat as his VP.

I was an Obama guy before Paul. I'll be an Obama guy if it's him vs. any non-Ron Paul GOP member. The reason that I changed was his waffling on the foriegn policy. I do agree with a lot of his governmental ideas, even though they are different than Paul's. I'd classify myself as a progressive, but realize that government needs to get more EFFICENT before it can get better. And if that means cutting it all together, that's fine with me.

 

[Paulitician]

Umm... no, absolutely no chance.

 

[Jobarra]

I won't answer on the poll as it seems almost like a Frank Luntz type poll question.

Paul would never have Obama on his ticket while Obama believed in collectivism as he does. To answer the question though, a Paul/Obama ticket would IMO win hands down. Never going to happen though.

 

[Menthol Patch]

Obama is a SOCIALIST that would support illegal immigration, ban guns, and NEVER reduce the size of government! The very idea that Ron Paul could run with him is an ABOMINATION.

 

[MoneyWhereMyMouthIs2]

It could win, but why would we want it to?

 

[Devil_rules_in_extremes]

Is this a serious question? Obama in a CFR globalist, who pimps for the Establishment. Screw him.

 

[Todd McGreevy]

If Obama truly would ban guns, then i totally agree, this will never work... i have to admit that I don't know BO's policy nearly as well as I should, and this forum has helped direct my investigation of Barack...
I would not count Hillary out yet folks... there is waaaay too much invested in her and the dynasty does not like to lose... the Democratic party elite has a lot of control.... so i am just positing some concepts.

But he's selling "change"

Ditto...... That amazes me. Obama's politics aren't even close to Ron Paul. Obama is a socialist, Obama is a gloablist, and Obama probably doesn't understand a damned thing about the Federal Reserve, the Income tax, and Monetary/Economic policy.

And I have a block of Ice in Death Valley I want to sell ya....

OBAMA IS CFR! I CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE STILL VOTING YES!!!

 

[Liberty Star]

No way.

They both may oppose Iraq war nd necons' war mongering and negative influence in US policits but RP has much better plan and insight overall. We can break away some young support from Obama if we get the message out clearly and stay consistent.

Obama took some of RP younger supporters in Iowa. But Obama will get attacked in coming days and weeks and some of his shine will wear off but Ron Paul has to be ready to capture more young voters support who are a natural ally and happen to be for Change, anti War and are turned off by pandering ads.

RP has the best chance to beat Obama, if we can effectively establish/market Ron Paul brand and disseminate message of hope and change. Obama and Ron Paul both stand for change, both opposed Iraq war and are tough conteders, RP has edge on foreign policy/fiscal policy issues. One with smarter campaign will win in the end. Both have not been sufficiently scrutinized by the press yet, press has been soft on Obama so far but that will change.

It is surprising why Ron Paul campaign has not been aggressively going after support of big majority of Americans who are very concerned with current course of America and see Bush/Cheney war policies as bad for America. RP need to question judgment of candidates who supported Iraq war policy and show how it undermines American security.

RP need to hit hard on Iraq war/foreign policy issues and how they effect taxes/economy/liberties at home. RP had the foresight and courage to oppose Iraq war years ago and need to capitalize on that. Now will be good time to take a look at our ads for NH and make sure we have the right message of Hope and Change and nothing like the recent controversial, pandering ad that was played in Iowa. Iraq War and its human, financial, liberty costs should be highlighted. We should stick with the message RP sent out in debates, that works. Majority of Americans consider Iraq war a mistake and chances of someone who supported Iraq war going to the White House in 08 are between slim and none.

Your kidding, right? Have you been listening to Obama in this ABC debate? He sounds like a Republican Neo-Con. He's just as War mongering as they are. Promoting the war fever, and corporate propaganda.

 

[dvictr]

HELL NO...



free market champion of the constituion - ron paul
quasi-socialist inexperienced cfr member - obama

read up on classical libertarianism (hayek, friedman...)


obama is just an affirmative action sucess story

 

[DeepBlu]

Given that Obama's at the top of the Democratic polls and just won Iowa, I think it could probably be a successful ticket. Is it realistic and do their politics mix well? No. But I still think it could win.

 

[nc4rp]

the question you should ask is would either of them cross party lines. people are loyal to their party.

 

[Todd McGreevy]

I agree about party lines.... but my god can we really really take another four years with a Clinton in office or four years with neocons in office who refuse to deal with the Federal Reserve?

So my hypothesis is based on the assumption that worst case scenario for both Paul and Obama that they don't get a blessing to rep their party from the fat and happy elite media and duopoly parties that will never let go of their fiefdoms to a Ron Paul or a Barack Obama.

 

[gerryb]

Sort of a nice idea I guess but....then you have to analyze BO's policy stances. Not an option. He is the most left wing candidate and Dr. Paul is by far the most right wing candidate in terms of policy. They could not possibly be further apart other than the war.

stop using these terms.

Left and right wing are the SAME thing, very small differences.

On the left.. Socialist and Communists. On the right, Fascists. What is the difference? They are both collectivist systems.

Ron Paul is an individualist.

 

[bobo37]

NO!

No, Obama is CFR it wouldn't be a ticket
