Townhall.com wants YOUR opinion - "Is it Ron Paul or nobody?"

[The Gold Standard]

Am I out of my mind to think, IF, a big IF, IF Paul goes third party, can we get 30% of the general election?

Now 30% and we pick off a few states? Really, I do not see this being that much of a fantasy... We can pull ALOT of I's and I bet we can pull 20% of the D's and 20% of the R's....

Am I just out to lunch?

Ron could win as a 3rd party, but it would take a couple of things:

1. The various libertarian factions all get behind Paul 100%.
2. The rich libertarians send millions upon millions to the campaign and RevPac.

If that happened and RevPac had enough money to hammer all 50 states with ads for months on end leading up to November, Paul could win 35-40% and a plurality of states.

Romney, Bush and Obama dont help you out either. They are all the same crap, no difference except an R or D next to their name.

Break the vicious cycle and just say NO, NOT THIS TIME. I AINT GETTIN FOOLED AGAIN.

It won't break the cycle, and I am not being fooled at all.

None of them will help me. Its a matter of who will hurt me worse.

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

There is no practical difference between the rest of the GOP field and Obama. You gain nothing voting for any of them. But it's your vote do as you please.

Sure there is.

At least with a Republican Obamacare can be gone, there might be decent SC justices, and the general socialism of Barack will be gone.

Would a Romney shrink government? No. I don't expect it to grow nearly as rapidly as Obama either.

It is in my interest to vote for the person that can bring about the best scenario for me. Excitement on a forum is nice, but I have a life to live.

 

[bunklocoempire]

just like AF said last night...

that ship has already sailed.

Yes. Departure date was 2007-08.

I still haven't been able to pry that 40+ year GOP knife from my back.

-And now with NDAA, there is no way we're steering the ship back to pick the GOP up on establishment terms. It's called self-preservation.

It's us or them and they've showed their intentions.

NOBP.

I'll vote Gary Johnson if Ron does not get the nom

 

[Anti Federalist]

Repeat, repeat, repeat:

No One But Paul

Can you fucking hear me now?

You just lost the 2012 election last night GOP.

You just lost, you're a dead man walking and don't even know it.

Sad actually.

Romney would most certainly get rid of Ken Salazar at Interior.

That would most certainly improve my financial and job prospects.

Guess what?

Fuck that!

Freedom is more important than my own self interests.

At least the sunshine patriots are making themselves known long before hand, crimping and folding faster than a Chinese laundry.

Why would Romney "get rid" of Obamacare? He invented the fucking thing.

Why would Romney appoint anybody but status quo judges to the SCROTUS? It makes no difference if it's a right boot or left boot crushing my neck.

Why would getting rid of the "socialism" of O-bomb-ya be any better by exchanging it for the facism of Romney?

The three things of critical importance to me: ending the wars and occupations, sound monetary and fiscal policy and putting the brakes on the police state: NONE of those will happen under a Romney administration.

You really don't understand how this works yet, do you?

You still think there is a "difference" don't you?

 

[freeforall]

Articles like this our so annoying. I don't think we should acknowledge their attempt to develop a strategy by answering their questions. We should be doing what we ask Ron to do and dictate the conversation by only posting the information we deem relevant.

 

[PursuePeace]

NOBP.

Ahhh the lesser of two evils still gives you an EVIL. You are stuck in the false left/right paradigm--breaking free from the matrix is always liberating!


Take a walk on the wild side and stop following people who are walking down the wrong path!

No One But Paul!!!

Because any other vote is a wasted vote and a vote for tyranny!

Are you kidding me ? Republicans do NOT shrink Govt. I repeat DO NOT.

George Bush was worse then Clinton. Much worse as a matter of fact.

You've gotta get over this R vs D false paradigm, it's nothing more then a red sox vs yankees rivalry. Who's got the power is all they care about.

Romney is worse then Obama. You think he's gonna get rid of Obamacare ? HAHAHA he friggin invented it. And he's also more anti-gun then Obama. Now he prostitutes himself as a 'conservative' and thinks he can dupe me ? Wow, what an insult. No thanks Mitt, i've still got my dignity.

 

[Apollonius of Perga]

Sure, I'd be willing to vote for another candidate besides Paul. His name is Gary Johnson.

Agreed.

I had no idea that NOBP was an actual website. Thank you for posting that Elwar

 

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

NOBP, Only Principles of Liberty (OPL), No Compromise. I echo AF. As much as I disagree with his positions concerning trade, protectionism, etc. I have to say I'd stand by his side any day of the week, even over the folks who may agree with me 100%, but are idiotic (or self-hating) enough to still pull the lever for the tyrants in some self-delusional rationalizing 'lesser of evil' STILL GETS YOU FUCKING EVIL. Get it yet? You LOSE and you support the goddamn system while you are at it. Why would the (R) change when they get your vote no matter what? You are fucking dupes who still buy into that shit.

Note: You is in reference to any individual who still pulls the lever in the delusional self-rationalization lesser of two evil BS.

Here, let Harry Browne educate you folks.



WAKE THE FUCK UP.

A train can only go where the tracks take it. With ANY of the other candidates or even those suggested because the establishment doesn't like the current field of candidates and with Obama, the train is still on the same tracks.
Think of Ron Paul as the switch man who is the ONLY ONE who WILL take us back to the Constitutional principles set of tracks we NEED to be on to save this country from ruin.

If that describes it then your concern isn't what set of tracks, but how fast the train is moving and I understand your concern. Me? I jumped that train a long time ago

There ain't no difference on the issues that you mentioned nor on a host of others you didn't mention which I don 't have to mention because you already know where I stand and I already know you agree with me.

Obama attempted to bring us universal health care but failed. He can say that he tried though if noly to assuage his hard core collectivist supporters.
Romney will say that he tried to overturn Obamacare but came up against too much resistence. He needs another 4 years and then after that second four years it will be some other excuse. It's called racheting
