So I'm thinking... McCain Seems to be Thinking RP as VP is his only chance

Ron Paul is more likely to win the republican nomination, than to be asked AND to accept a VP nomination from these other guys.

Get real, these guys work for the system, we work against it. If they nominated RP for VP the system AUTOMATICALLY supports the Dems, there's no way the powers that be would allow RP to be VP.

What we're all missing though is, Ron would never compromise his principles by accepting a VP nomination from one of these loons, period, end of story.

1) and that's why he keeps pulling the, "you and me were there ron, for the reagan revolution" bit right?

2) have you not picked this up yet?

3) when he drops out? who said anything about RP dropping out?
wait, just you.

4) romney appeases the "conservative" base, gimme a break! lol

5) again, i have no plan to

I never said romney appeases the conservative base. He probably does over any remaining candidate because they don't like McCain, Huckabee, or Paul that much and this is evident in the exit polls where Romney has been getting a majority of conservatives. I said McCain would pick a young governor who appeases the conservative base. I never said it would be Romney so where are you getting this? Romney is like 60 years old. McCain will want a younger governor with a solid conservative background, maybe from the south to balance out the ticket.

McCain said that "you were there" line once, twice? Have you seen the way McCain snickers and laughs when Paul talks? It's pretty obvious that McCain thinks Paul is crazy. And yes, I think Paul will drop out after Super Tuesday. He won't endorse anybody and he won't become anybody's running mate.

again, it's not an issue of RP accepting the VP slot, it's about playing the shift to our advantage...

but w/ever.

chernitsky away.

So you're saying that if McCain is considering RP as his VP we can somehow use this to strengthen our campaign?

I don't see how.

We already have an ironclad two pronged attack worked out:
1) Donate
2) Knock on doors, and spread the message.
 
Also to RP fan:

Ron won't drop out after Super Tuesday. He's stated time and time again he's in this as long as his supporters keep up their grassroots efforts and their donations.
 
I'm just being realistic here. If you want to believe that Ron Paul will sweep a majority of Super Tuesday states despite being a distant 4th in most polls then be my guest. If you want to believe that Ron Paul, the anti establishment candidate, will win a brokered convention where the establishment will join together, then go ahead and believe that pipe dream. I'm just trying to lend some sensibility to this converation.

I'm saying RP, and the official campaign could use it to their advantage...

remember, they read these boards.

thanks for advancing the dialogue, btw. it really is appreciated.

coming from the self-proclaimed hannity sheep no less.

keep on pulling the wool over your eyes son, it seems to be working.

Obviously the campaign isn't all sunshine and rainbows at this point. Obviously it's an uphill battle. Obviously we're going to have to give everything we've got and more to even have a chance at victory.

But saying Ron Paul has NO chance doesn't belong in this forum. If you sincerely believe this then quit campaigning and sign up for Iraq right now. Why keep wasting your time?
 
I can't believe how many people think these are free elections. I've said it several times now, its a soap opera to put on a show. RP is the only spoiler. RP won't sell out and they know it. McCain knows he's being pushed to win the nomination so he can loose to Clinton. Its a script with the ending already written.

Why else would he make statements like 100 year war, to make sure 70% of American's get disgusted with him and vote for Hitlary. MSM sets him for a GOP win, while he sets up for Hillary. Its as plain as black on white.

I was under the impression that this forum and this movement would live on past Ron Paul and build upon the revolution that he has started. I thought we would stay together and work to infiltrate local, state, and federal offices with Ron Paul's message. I guess I was wrong. I deploy for Iraq tomorrow.

We are here to do that. And there will be an appropriate time for that.

But right NOW we need to focus on getting as many delegates as possible. The most important day in the entire race is approaching and this is the time you wanna quit and move on? At least wait until after we've failed on Super Tuesday before you start saying it's not possible.

Nobody is stopping you from running for your local government. If you want, heck more power to you! Go ahead and seek out local support for the cause and do it. Do something constructive though, not something destructive. Unite the campaign by setting a good example, don't divide it by saying we have no hope.

actually, i feel the same way, but for my own sanity i try to pretend that it might still be otherwise.

were that not the case, i'd have never bothered to begin w/.

of course, the more i interact w/ "the masses" per this discussion board, the more i think we're hopeless anyway, and not just in the political arena but as a species in general.

devo indeed.

I wonder if anyone has noticed that Trump seems to be putting the US on the fast track to go back under the British monarch, yet.
