Wow Tucker talking about Ron Paul

[linusPAULing]

I still believe the GOP does not want to win this time.

I agree. The establishment wanted Bush the last time, as evidenced by John Kerry running a terrible campaign, and rolling over amidst rampant vote fraud.

This time it's Hilary's turn. I expect McCain to hand the presidency right over to her.

Perhaps we'll have 100 years of Bush/Clinton rule. We're nearly a quarter of the way there.

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.

I wouldn't mention 'McCain not having it in the bag' any more (1st rule of fight club)... Simply let people know that others can now vote for who they want to win (Ron Paul) rather than who they think will win! If it's already decided, why not vote Ron Paul anyways?

Was there ever any question that the Megaparty was coronating HRC since 2000?

Agreed. Like Ann Coulter said this morning on the Today Show (shameful for me to watch, I know) the Republicans benefit more from the Hillary Clinton disaster than they do from the John McCain disaster.

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.

This is said a lot, but I'm not sure I agree. There have been libertarian figures in the past that were very polished with crisp taking points and they failed to get the traction that Dr Paul has. Harry Browne comes to mind as an example.

There is something special and unique about Ron Paul. I think his unwavering honesty and consistency along with his virtuous life story gained more supporters than his flaws lost supporters.

That said, he probably could have done atleast a little better with a higher grade team around him. His ill-fitting suits are just one obvious piece of evidence that the campaign is missing some important details.

I guess the question is how much farther could he have gone with a top-notch campaign team? That is a question that does torture us hardcore supporters a bit.

You know, Tucker did his part to increase Ron's negatives, and for that, Tucker should be ashamed of himself.

The entire GOP/MSM machine did its part to get Ron's negatives so high that it would take miracles for us to overcome them.

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!

That is exactly what I have been thinking and greatly hoping will be the case.

hmm, clinton for 8 years, then Jeb for 8 years then Chelsea in 16 years !

That question doesn't torture me, because I look at Romney - best suits, perfect hair, great team, ample funding, television ads that were actually professional and well done - running on the business channels all the time for a month or more before this thing got off the ground even.

He had all that and what did it get him? A suspended campaign.

McCain was out of money and dead in the water.

The MSM revived McCain.

The MSM stranglehold killed the nation.

And don't forget, there's a younger Bush, VERY attractive young man...he's in that line, too.



God this thread is making me angry. lol...

Well Romney suspended rather than gave up. It is likely that he is aiming for VP. With McCain sounding exactly like GWB during the debates and with his age, making a deal with McCain made sense. Guiliani was left holding the bag, and that was fun to watch.

The MSM is a far third as the killer. I blame poor education regarding critical thinking and the breakdown of family values and family communications.

Woooooeeeeeeee, lets go live up in the mountains and declare ourselves a sovereign nation.

Imagine Rudolph Guiliani as Attorney General?

F U TUCKER!

smear job hack.

You're right. We have a population that hasn't got the ability to question the ... CRAP ... they see on television.

Add to that the breakdown of the family which causes more and more to rely on the state rather than charity AND which encourages people to remain forever children instead of ever maturing to adulthood...

Yeah, we're so totally ... screwed.

 

[rexsolomon]

Imagine Rudolph Guiliani as Attorney General?

If I am not mistaken, the Ghoul held that position once. There would be means to block him as AG, but as VP? Cheney would look like Gandhi compared to what Guiliani is capable of - if his actions in NYC is any guide.

 

[Jae0]

Jeez Tucker you wait till now to say something like that?! I love Tucker but sometimes... her drops the ball. Oh well, he can repent by screaming about Paul every chance he gets.

 

[ninnarae]

At the recent Minnesota Caucus I attended, our precinct straw poll ended up- Romney 21, Paul 13, McCain 6 and Huckabee 3. We were more organized however, and took 6 of 7 of our precinct delegates along with most of the alternate spots. The thing that most bothered me, is how many Romney supporters stood up and stated they although they thought Paul was the best candidate, he couldn't win, so they were voting for Romney to stop McCain and not waste their vote. Many Ron Paul supporters stood up and tried to get people (sheep) to realize they needed to stand up for what they believe. People need to learn to vote their consciences, and not jump on the bandwagon- the only wasted vote is the one not cast!

That's what they said about the NY Giants.
