This is NOT a personality-cult for us to follow the leader/quote]
No, but there's a difference between trusting a guy and a personality cult.
Yes. I want to see these principles enacted and reflected in our law. If you think I'm just here for some philosophical pondering, then you're wrong.
about NOT playing Washington-games of expediency & compromise
If I heard that Ron Paul would be nominated for the Vice Presidency 4 years ago, I'd be delighted.
It's not even compromise. It's a choice between getting something or nothing.
if Paul wavers from it then he can forget about the support, which is why he'll NEVER do it!
He can count on my support.
"My country has in its wisdom contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived."
-John Adams on vice-presidency
I wonder if LBJ thought the same way. Or Gerald Ford. Or Mr. Truman. Etc.
1/3 of Vice Presidents become US Presidents. 25% by inheritance.
Not to mention the influence some, such as Cheney, have had.
No One But Paul
End of line.
Yes. No One But Paul.
If there is not a Paul on the ticket, I will not vote for it. Now if it's Ron or Rand as the VP, it's a pretty appealing ticket compared to Obama.
Those of you content with a Romney presidency should seriously reconsider. Thats all I have to say on this subject. Good luck to you all.
Those of you content with an Obama presidency or a Romney/Other neocon ticket should seriously reconsider.
