Ron Paul Will Win the Presidency For Republicans

[J_White]

If that position gave Dr.Paul to fully audit and abolish the Fed within four years, I would not mind it.
once this funny money is gone, all the things associated with it - market bubbles, bailouts, welfare and warfare state will HAVE to come to an end, because for doing them without the Fed they will have to tax people. and i dont think most people would like that.
it would make the first major step to getting things right again.

also imagine how the image of Dr.Paul would change - from an also ran in the Presidential Primary, to VP. Giving him much more authenticity in the mind of the general public. and also getting the so called Constitutional ideas back in the mainstream.

Of course I would like to see Paul win on the power of the ideas, but I dont think the general public would suddenly reach some enlightenment about issues and start to see the truth in Dr.Paul's message.

First of all Matt Zack. Pull your fucking shit together. Ron Paul as VP would be one of the biggest liberty moves since Goldwater. It's cool to be an idealist, but the world isn't perfect. This would literally lead to a Rand presidency which would turn America around. The movement doesn't end in 2012.

I don't think it would lead to anything. At all. It would not bridge a gap between the GOP and a freedom movement. At all.

It would maintain the status quo. Period.

Ron Paul would be a sell out.

We would be fools.

Ron Paul, and his son Rand Paul would lose all credit amongst people like me.

Game over. Establishment wins.

If Ron Paul is in any way affiliated with Romney's campaign beyond... economic adviser... delete my account, forget I've been here, and good fucking luck.

I wouldn't vote for a Romney/Paul ticket. I don't think most Paul supporters would. I would vote for a Paul/Romney ticket, but I can't see Dr. Paul doing something that stupid.

It would bridge a significant gap, to say it won't is being delusional... This +1000000 yay we are like reddit now!

If Ron Paul could be VP I'd vote for that in a second. It would legitimize a lot of what he says and help propel the cause.

Im laughing at all you people that won't vote for a Romney/Paul ticket, you are out of your mind if you think a Obama/Biden ticket is better.

 

[trey4sports]

i hate to be the resident pessimist, but Ron Paul would never, ever, ever be offered the VP slot nor would he take it and lastly they wouldn't win with Romney at the top of the ticket.

the only paul who would possibly accept, be asked, have a chance at winning (in the vp role) would be Rand.

And I'd be ok with that as well for the same reasons.

People - I want Ron Paul to win with all my might - but I don't think some of you here realize how close we are to SHTF. Do you really WANT that?
I'd rather Dr Paul or his son be in the #2 spot to try to prevent that from happening. I have fricking CHILDREN to worry about.

Put on your big boy pants and realize this fight is all or nothing. If Ron Paul doesn't get the nomination - and we simply pack up our bags and go home - how can you guarantee me that my children will still have a country in 20 yrs?

I would rather have a Paul one heartbeat from the POTUS and the ear of the President - than ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

Careful, that sounds like a classic case of lesser-of-two-evils to me. Might wanna get that checked out.

Why are we here again? What are we fighting for?

Ron Paul as VP doesn't accomplish anything! What powers does VP have? What could he accomplish when Romney disagrees with everything Ron believes in. All this is mute anyway since these two would never join together.

You have a chance to put Paul in office, doesn't matter if hes VP or Pres, and you won't vote for it? Get real...

You get real. Do you actually think Romney would allow Paul to make any worthwhile decisions regarding economics, foreign policy, or civil liberties when they don't agree on any of these issues? All this talk is just positioning Romney to appear more electable. Seeing as how he as some of the Paul supporters hook, line, & sinker, his plan is working. How pathetic.

People have gravitated to Paul because he refused to compromise on his principles. Paul joining a ticket with Romney would throw all of that out the window and ruin everything that we have worked for. Even if Paul were to communicate a somewhat libertarian message as VP, how is that going to resonate with the public when Romney and his Bush 2.0 administration refuse to act on his wishes? All this does is make Paul look like a sellout, plain & simple.

Matt, I agree with your posts in this thread. IMO it's more important to focus on the movement. Paul is the catalyst, not the end-all -- it's not all or nothing with him. The movement continues onward...

Remember, Reagan had to give in and run with "new world order" George H.W. Bush as VP.

THIS* god damn that's so stupid.

Yay, you agree with someone. Good job.

At the end of the day. After 30 years. Paul accepting a VP slot, would be a coup. Not a detractor. We could only dream of this 10 years ago. Hell, 5 years ago.

It would be a feather in the cap, a Johnnie walker Blue shot at the end of a good night with friends.

what drives me absolutely insane, is when libertarians will not budge, (while a cool characteristic) even after 30 years of a Ron Paul proving himself to us.

if a VP slot is it, then while "personally" completely and utterly disappointed from Iowa, NH, and Maine, we get a National stage to spread OUR ideas of freedom then C4L, Paul2008, Paul2012, we have honestly accomplished more then our goals. We have changed politics forever.

Sometimes you have to pick and choose your battles like in 07. We the liberty message. While being a VP isn't ideal for all of us including RP...you have to say, we made a difference and we changed the world. that's what we set out to do in 07. That's why we maxed out. That's why we spent our personal savings on ads.

To say you won't vote for that, a true liberty candidate with a shot at the WH...is crazy.

I get it, you're for ideals... but we can change everything. We can change the whole course of history, and you aren't willing to do that? I don't understand.

 

[BIG_J]

@ "NIU Student's for Liberty" Paul et all, is way better than a second Obama term. So... Yeah... Cool story "BRO"

 

[BIG_J]

@matt ZAk Not only is it "NOt" a lesser of two evils, it would be a Paul a heart attack away from the White House.

I don't understand how you can't be on board with that... Our message is winning. This would bring it home and set a real precedent for honest politicians...

god damn...opportunity of our life times...And you're willing to throw it all away on some unsubstantial alleged "Compromise" that is not even real.

We can be the next Truman, as dark as that sounds, it's true...

Pull your shit together. This would be a huge win, while not at all likely...

but cool to think about...
