Which is bulsh*t to begin with. If GWB can be President, RON PAUL can be President.
GOP will just have to realize it can't win with a pro-war nominee.

I just started a thread to discuss this very thing. After listening to talk radio for the past few days, I'm so sick of them implying that McCain has this in the bag. If just someone said "McCain/Hillary are not your only choices - let's take this to a brokered convention"
Can't we just do that? Here's my thread just started:

Paul demonstrated by his failure to surround himself with a professional staff when he had the money that he can't win. You can't go around the country making the piss poor appearances he did and expect to win. To us we loved the red meat rambling speeches but unless had some real staff and writers around him he had no chance of winning.

Let's hope this works to our advantage now. If people assume that McCain has already won the nomination (as the media now claims) we should see significant drops in voter turnout. The sheep don't want to be bothered to a large extent, but more so they'll think, "why waste my time voting for someone who already won." If we keep getting people out there to vote, even at the small percentages we've been getting, and add more "anti-McCain" votes to the bunch we'll start gathering a lot more delegates. We need all that we can get. Remember this weekend will be big. Washington has a lot of Ron Paul support. I'm not suggesting a win, but we should be able to pick up delegates.
Onward!

In my opinion (feel free to argue) we need to either team up with Huck -or on our own- put out ads that are directed to McCain haters. Say that he does NOT have this in the bag yet and the only hope we have is to back Paul and/or Huck and get this to a brokered convention.

Use this argument to our advantage. It's so much easier now because there is a specific enemy. When the field was crowded it was harder to fight because everyone had Romney as the "anti-McCain" vote. Now when you encounter someone that is against McCain and they argue that Dr. Paul can't win, AGREE WITH THEM. Tell them, "You're probably right, but he can keep McCain from winning." Let them know that the longer it takes McCain to get the required delegates the better. It's widely believed that there will be other candidates entering the race. If there was ever a year where people will want a 3rd party, Libertarian or other party candidate this is it. So many people, Democrat and Republican alike, are distressed by the remaining choices. They don't know what to do. This is the year the other parties have been waiting for. You'll have 5 choices or more when the general election happens. But we have to buy more time. We must keep McCain from declaring victory as long as possible to make the most inviting situation for more candidates. The Democrats are locked against each other, it's taken care of on that side. But Republicans need to vote for Dr. Paul to even out the field. We make this go the the convention and send a signal.
Of course we want Dr. Paul to get delegates and be able to win at the convention, but this argument is easy to make to someone who opposes McCain and isn't sure about Dr. Paul. I think it can work.
Now go find those anti-McCain voters!

Agreed. Whoever is elected President will be up against some of the biggest challenges our country has seen in a long time. The safest thing for the GOP is probably to let the Dems run things while we sink deeper into the shit.
Of course the one good option is being overlooked...

Just so you know, Rush does have a radio show that you can call into to tell him if you really wanted to. In fact he is on right now if you care to back up your statement.
