The Republican Party just shot itself in the foot...

[electronicmaji]

They have done possibly the stupidest thing they could have done, they have made their WEAKEST posistion their MAIN and ONLY posistion. This does not bode well for november


I say 30% or less in November....

And trust me, this will be spun as happening because:

A) Paul was espousing his anti-war views and this was 'outside the party' and thus caused confusion and damage to the party. Conservative views will be shunned even more for 'causing' a loss.

B) Because the GOP didn't come together, they lost. It will be reinforced continuously that they lost because of lack of unity and therefore the next candidate must be supported fully or you aren't really a conservative. If there is a popular conservative third party candidate, that person will accept the lion's share of blame.

They are doing what we have been saying all along--- creating a strawman in McCain to guarantee a Clinton victory.

That would be a truly epic failure. Would also cause the asses to rethink the direction the party is headed.

Paul can win as an independent

there is a lot of McCain+Hillary hate. if Obama wins the Democratic primary he will win.

 

[Dequeant]

Hmm, what's the only way 2 democrats could both run for president in the general election?

McCain vs. Hillary

let me see if I get this right... McCain will offer Americans more war, more recession (via trillion dollars a year on war), more death, more fear mongering, more 'terrorists' and way less FREEDOM vs. Obama/Clinton who will offer us peace, spending money here instead of there, less death, "hope for a better tomorrow" and no more mindless fear of terrorism (well obama will on that last one, but close enough).

lolz

Good call GOP.. that should go over real well with the general public. I too give McCain 30% or less.

Another 8 years of Clinton. Yay! I'm moving...

Seize The Moment My Fellow RP Patriots!!

When you go to your next county Republican monthly meeting, be prepared to act. When it is time for what is called 'New Business' stand up and introduce a non-binding resolution stating that 'We Will Not Support McCain For President.'

Do not connect this with a push for RP. This is simply an attempt to fan the flames of party disunity. Conservative radio and conservative Republicans have stated they will not support McCain. We should be in the forefront of this movement. I might even go so far as to say, 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.'

Wording of this resolution can be formulated to fit your local situation. But I will share from an unnamed source that if Florida is any indication, the chairman of the county Republican parties are NOT supportive of McCain. Provide them cover to launch a 'stop McCain' effort.

McCain vs. Hillary wow this is going to be a worthless year im still writing in RON PAUL baby!!!

 

[Minuteman2008]

Yeah, you are right on the money. The GOP has NOTHING to run on now in the general election. Like you said, they take the one issue that Americans in general have turned against them on, and make it their sole platform.

They can no longer lay claim to fiscal conservatism, secure borders, no amnesty, low taxes, freedom of speech, and smaller government.

With McCain as the leader, the GOP stands for NOTHING BUT ENDLESS WAR AND BANKRUPTCY!

I hope enough conservatives come to their senses and not only fail to vote for McCain but actually vote for the opposition, because it is time to burn it down and rebuild from the ashes as a party with integrity who stand for something.

Obama will not win the Democrat nomination, the CLintons own the SUPER DELEGATES that pick the winner. Obama's supporters will see the corruption first hand like we already know exists within the GOP.

Then an Independent Run is the ONLY way to go...

+1
But that doesn't mean we gotta lie down for it.

 

[AlabamaWildMan]

We all knew they couldn't aim very well !

I mean, after all, look what they tried to do with George Bush ??

 

[justatrey]

If it comes down to McCain vs. Obama or Hillary, I'm voting Obama or Hillary in the hopes that they will bomb slighly fewer innocent countries when compared to McCain.

 

[cska80]

It's funny that some of you still think the republican party is trying to win.

 

[tom4ronpaul08]

its been the goal the whole time ..... get Hillary in ... more bush clinton bush clinton then jeb, then chelsey, then jenna .... is sic

 

[Jobarra]

Considering that Obama has pulled in $7.2M since Super Tuesday while Hillary has LOANED herself $5M, I think you may start seeing more Obama wins over Hillary. Do the Dems hand out twice the superdelegates of the Republicans or something?
