I'm calling it right now...

It's very unlikely, with the mainstream media's blatant stabotage, that Ron Paul is going to win the Republican nomination. Fine. But don't forget, he is not running for Congress again. What's he going to do when he inevitably loses the Republican primaries to Rick Perry?

I'm calling it now. Paul is going to defect from the Republican Party in June and announce that he is running for President as an Independent. He will steal so many votes from Perry and Obama that he could have a shot of winning, even more than Ross Perot did.

Just my opinion of course. What do y'all think?

 

I don't think Ron Paul would stoop to recking the election and help The Obama win a second term. I hope he's to good for that. I'd like to see him get a cabnit post or something. He's got a lot of good ideas but I don't see him being able to win. I still think we should be pushing for Herman Cain. He's the best of the 7. The only one who's not a career politician

 

I think that if the American people were smart enough to realize that Ron Paul is the only one with a real chance at beating Obama, then he would win. Polls have shown that out of all GOP candidates, Ron Paul fairs the best against Obama.

Quite frankly I will vote for Ron Paul no matter what. I've heard people say that it is a waste to vote for him if he doesn't win the primary. I say it is a waste to vote for anyone besides him.

 

What will crazy anarcho-libertarians do without Ron Paul?

America on Ron Paul ---->

 

I don't think so, Dr. Righteous. Just my 2 cents....

 

He knows he cant win, even independent, this is a tune up for his son,,keep the ideas going. I could be wrong but that's my opinion.
This race will go to Perry or Romni,,I dont think we can go wrong with either one. We have to get Obama out, business will never work with him, we said that at the start...

They realize where his head is at and any President leaning that much left would never cut it with them. I realize people on the left do not think he is all that much left, but believe me to them he is...

 

You have to see it from Pauls (and my) perspective though. Rick Perry would be another George W. Bush. There would be no difference between him and Obama. He wouldn't do anything to undo anything that Obama/Congress has done over the past couple years. The government is going to continue its exponentially increasing rate of growth no matter if Perry or Obama wins. That's the bottom line. The problem is much more serious than the little "republican vs democrat" dog and pony show. We are seriously close to runaway inflation, and that must be prevented at all costs. Paul has nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing so instead of just rolling over and letting one of the two collectivists take over.

 

I agreed with this analysis, even in 2008 when he dropped out of the race and told his supporters to not vote for him in November. I still did.

 

I'm not an anarcho-libertarian.

Please explain why you think I'm crazy, in detail. Use complete sentences.

 

I don't like Romny and Perry just seems fake to me. Like Flounder said, Paul is keeping the movement alive to pass it on to his kid. If Paul wrecks the election and The Obama wins, then Rand Paul will have to deal with that legacy. I don't think Ron Paul is like Newt who'd give his left testical to be in power again.

 

Do the math. He is neocon. A collectivist for the top. Probably has a poster of Bush over his bed.

 

But Rand has even less of a chance of winning the Republican nomination for Presidency than his old man, don't you think? The media would tear him apart.

 

I think the media will tear apart whoever we put up there. I don't know much about Rand Paul, but if his dad helps The Obama get elected, his career is finished.

 

I don't think life or career is something RP is worried about at this point. In an age where everyone with genuine intentions gets beaten into global submission, that is what makes RP priceless. Not only can the majority of GOP candidates not swing independents, they won't even get paleocons to show up. The definition of not standing a chance. The right is divided, and if the GOP ever wants to win again, they need to start taking paleocons serious. A paleocon could swing independents and moderate democrat votes. A neocon won't swing anything, and Obama is only different from neocoons in posture, not performance.

 

Paul will take away from mainly Perry, some of his kooks are willing to entertain Paul, while very few Obama supporters would consider him. It's over, Obama wins unless the biggest con bunny is pulled out of the hat, and even Christie isn't big enuf.

 

As long as the US population expands, the Government is going to expand. More people to serve requires more people to do the serving.

Please stop with the "collectivst" crap. There is a mainstream political thought in America and that mainstream isn't anywhere near your ideology, hence why no one will vote for Ron Paul, only the fringe believes in him and as much as you people would like to believe that you are anything but, you are nothing but the "lunatic fringe" of right wing thought.

"RINO's" like Romney are the mainstream and the real GOP, get used to it, there isn't going to be some radical libertarian revolution in America.

Radicals need to learn that just because they THINK they are smarter than the mainstream, doesn't mean they are.

 

I think he's more likely to be like Lamar Alexander. Who famously campaigned to end the Department of Education and then took an appointment to be the Secretary of Education. I envision Ron Paul being appointed to replace the Skank Bernank.

 

It's pretty simple. Rightwing statist fear Ron Paul just as much as leftwing statist.

 

well , DrRight , you may be right , maybe Paul will defect and run as an Independent , , ,

but does Paul have the deep pockets to sustain a national campaign for a year ? ?

Heck , Ross Perot is one of the wealthiest men in the US , , ,

just saying , ya know ? ?

 

This means that you helped put Obama into power. I hope you're proud of yourself.

Ron Paul dropped out to keep what he saw as an unconscionable takeover of Washington by a supercommie and you didn't listen. You don't follow what your leader tells you. Some set of ideals you have there.

One of these days you might just figure it out. Idealism is good, until it makes you blind to the idea of slower pathways to the same goal. Patience is a virtue.

 

He and Bachmann don't need them, they run shoestring campaigns and have good name recognition. Won't help.

I know I am, and there's more to come. Don't go away!

 

Please, can we get past if the president "looks presidential"? LOL. Andrew Jackson was probably our realest president as far as caring about the nation, and that guy looked down right psycho. I have a feeling if we could elect him there wouldn't be enough trees and rope on the east coast for all the traitors that need hung.

 

I remember the last campaign where Romney was being considered by a con woman because "he looks presidential". SO STUPID! But that's cons for ya.

 

That's what you get for taking a Sabre to the face...
