Ron Paul Quietly Plots Backup Strategy While Seeking the Nomination

I can guarantee that if Paul doesn’t get the nomination Obama will be reelected. There is nothing that can be done to get me to vote for Romney or Newt or Perry or Santorum. Nothing. Last night Romney said he would have sign the NDAA bill just like Obama. Well elections are about change not transplantation. Why would I waste my vote voting for Romney when he would just continue these attacks on the constitution and keep fighting more wars and bleed us dry. I would stay home have Obama be reelected and have him keep attacking the constitution, keep fighting more wars and bleed us dry.

The Republican party can keep ignoring Paul all the want, but at this point they need him more than he needs them and that is a fact. I am perfectly fine waiting for Rand Paul for 2016 for real change than allow Romney in the white house and just keep this crazy cycle going. 2012 is the year for real change. If that can’t happen we will wait for 2016 and elect Rand Paul since our number is growing faster than every day, while the Republican party is shrinking. We will outlast, outlive them and the troops will come home. All of them. It’s not a mater of if but when.

I am in full agreement with the previous 2 posts by Robert Fallin and COOLREPUBLICA. I think Dr. Ron Paul is being marginalized by the media pundits and the press like they have been bought out by the Romney camp. The level of age discrimination against Dr. Paul is just nasty and unjustified. Dr. Paul has momentum and passionate support of youth behind him and it is not going away until he is president. Dr. Paul has moved from the third place finish in Iowa to a distant second in New Hampshire and possibly a close second in South Carolina. If the senior citizens in Florida don’t put him in first place they are going to let the chips fall to the detriment and loss of benefits. I saw a ridiculous headline stating that Romney went unscathed after the attacks. Americans are not stupid. What will stick in our minds is Romney refusing to disclose his tax returns at his earliest convenience with the urgency of now or else, Romney may become absolutely unacceptable from his current acceptable status for those of us who are waiting for answers from him. Also he may put whatever spin he wants. The “vulture” capitalist label from Perry will stick throughout 2012 and will ultimately gut him against Obama. Independents who currently support Dr. Paul would rather shift their support back to Obama than support Romney. Romney needs to stop being evasive and a crafty spin master or else loose in the November presidential election.

Is it really that hard to give Ron Paul a fair shake? I have never seen such a concerted effort to marginalize a candidate. I know the MSM has a habit of basically saying the same thing, but its Paul coverage is over the top. Oh well, guess they don’t care about ratings. There’s a reason why people are flocking in droves to alternative news sites. ABC, you’re making your bed, hope you enjoy sleeping in it.

Here is the real backup plan if Ron Paul isn’t the nominee, the Libertarian Party & Gary Johnson will get a few more million votes than they are use to, the GOP will lose and Obama is reelected. And I know you will have a bunch of GOP establishment clowns angry saying we made them lose to Obama…guess what, to us, there is no difference between Romney & Obama.

“LOL! …. the problem with Ron Paul is that he’s running as a Republican with views that TOTALLY go against the Republican party’s desires.”

EXACTLY! The Republican Party today is not very different from the Democrat Party and in no way “conservative”…both are very close to Mussolini’s corporate fascism than anything else…

“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” – Benito Mussolini.

If Ron Paul isn’t nominated I will vote for Obama, its that simple.

“If the campaign comes up short at the convention, Benton says the plan is to use all the delegates awarded to Paul as a bargaining chip to force the Republican Party to stick to its limited government platform. Benton says this could include auditing the Federal Reserve and winding back several parts of the Patriot Act, including roving wire taps which he says were originally written with the intent of expiring.”

THAT’S the Republican spirit! If you lose fair and square, then try to game the system to get what you want. Paul is a flaming hypocrite who is unfit to be president. Thankfully after he loses the nomination for the third time, he will be too old to bother us anymore politically.

my very first vote as a legal adult will be made for Ron Paul and nobody else…. It’s just that simple

@ COOLREPUBLICA, I am taking your post and running with it, but with one change to it, I will cast my vote to Obama if Paul does not get the nomination…

My vote is mine and not any political organization.
I will be voting for
Ron Paul and the message of the U.S. Constitution.

Ron Paul has mine and most of the votes here in the USA. The media is the problem as they dont want him in office. I’m sick of this game, and everyone I talk with says the same. Let the people decide who they want… What happened to “We the People”? Mitt is a puppet, Newt is a Joke, and no one has my best interest at mind but Dr. Ron Paul. Come on people, lets change the game and washington. It is time for the USA to lead the world again. It is time for us voters to take our country back. If a man doesnt stand for something, he stands for nothing…!

With the exception of Ron Paul, the GOP candidates are a group of warmongering fools. They are so simple minded they associate invading and bombing foreign countries with patriotism. And this they want to spend vast sums of money on – while the national debt soars.
Some have stated that Ron Paul’s views are “…well out of the Republican mainstream….” and give it a derogatory bent. Actually, his views are well out of the Republican AND Democrat mainstream. And that is a very good and refreshing thing.

No one in the political establishment on either side wants Dr. Paul to ascend to the presidency. They know for certain that if he was elected it would not be business as usual. They know that he alone among the candidates is the only one that will rigidly adhere to Constitutional government; that he will not be influenced by money, but by Constitutional principle.

He has been attacked mainly because of his stance on foreign policy. As I understand Ron Paul’s position, he deeply believes the United States should not go to war unless: 1) it is truly necessary and in the best interest of the United States & 2) it is entered into in a Constitutional manner. For this he is berated. I completely agree with Ron Paul.

A few thoughts:

• Do those who promote unnecessary wars really consider that people die in them? Do they not watch the evening news when the lists of young dead servicemen scroll across the television screen? So far, 6,331 American servicemen have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Dr. Paul’s foreign policy has been attacked by his critics as “dangerous.” What a bunch of simple minded individuals his critics are. How can they criticize Dr. Paul’s position on not fighting unnecessary wars as “dangerous” as opposed to the thousands of American service men and foreign civilians killed during the Bush and Obama administrations? Those self-righteous people who condemn Ron Paul’s views on war do not seem to mind the killing and maiming of young United States soldiers. They do not really treasure human life, though they try very hard to persuade the electorate they do.
• If you kill (bombing, etc.) a person’s family members, this person will intensely hate the country doing the killing for the rest of his/her life. Many innocent people are killed in needless wars. This breeds terrorists who may one day bring such terror to the United States. This is a no brainer. It is estimated that 132,000 civilians have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
• China is not spending money fighting wars. China is spending money on infrastructure and making loans to the United States. Meanwhile, our government is squandering money fighting in three countries.
• The senselessness of war stands out when we see veterans of past wars on both sides meeting and shaking hands (U.S./Japanese, etc.). The men are now friends, but the dead are still dead. It is governments that cannot get along – it is not the people.
• Those politicians who promote wars should be in the vanguard of the first attack. If going to war is so important, they and their families should be intimately involved in the actual fighting.

Electing anyone but Ron Paul is just asking for more of what we have had for years – it is time to renew Constitutional Government & the American Spirit – it is time to elect Ron Paul.
P.S. Please, I do not need an ignorant reply from someone accusing me of being a liberal. I served in our active duty armed forces for 8 years and reserve forces for 4 years. The active duty military supports Ron Paul’s foreign policy position overwhelmingly over the other candidates. So, trashing his position on foreign policy is like trashing our troops.

I will not vote for a Republi-crat in 2012. Gary Johnson or Ron Paul has to be better than the establishment candidate. And my vote won’t be wasted any more than any other Republican vote in my voting state of Maryland. Since 1960, the following Republicans got Maryland electoral college votes. Reagan in ’84, HW in ’88 and Nixon in ’72.

The dilemma is that the establishment Wants Romney to win because they want Obama , the best friend of Wall street, to win and he certainly WILL against Robamney. So, If you guys don’t get your Ron paul , DONT VOTE FOR OBAMA because then the 1% have won again. Vote for Jonsson or just put Ron Pauls name on the ballot. Don’t let Wall street laugh at you again !

When are our citizens going to wake up and realize that we cannot sustain our current political and economic policies for even 10 more years? If you are a true patriot and believe in the principles of our founding fathers and the constitution, please vote for Ron Paul. Demand that your representatives on the hill put your interests above those of corporations. If not, then sit back and watch TPTB’s scorch the earth until there is nothing left for you and me or our children.

As an independent, I will cast my vote for Ron Paul because of 3 simple things. Where he stands on the

1. Federal Reserve.
2. Individual Liberty
3. Property Rights

If you want change, regulation and reform you would do well to understand that the 3 things above can solve these issues.

The Federal Reserve has towed the line for corporatism and they have done nothing to level the playing field. Regulations have done nothing. The SEC has done nothing. Even with so called regulations, banks have learned to use loopholes to bleed the system. We have taught the last 2 generations (maybe more) that greed is good, and crime pays. If I can steal a billion and pay a 300,000 fine, then that is a good policy to making money the way things stand. Fraud should be punished and those who commit fraud should go to jail.

Individual liberty is what our constitution promised. Where is that now with the NDAA? What about defending our sovereignty and our own borders? What about standing for our citizens and their rights to pursue what once was the American Dream? So called “patriots” think that chanting USA and dropping bombs is patriotic. Look folks, I come from a family involved in both private and government agencies including the military. I am a conservative independent voter. Im also an avid reader of history. Not so long ago, Russia came down through economic collapse. Rome fell too. They built up their empires and fought on several fronts and also enslaved their citizens. Do you not see the same things happening to our great country right now?

Property rights enforcements would solve so called regulations by the EPA and others. Property rights state that you cannot do something on your property that harms your neighbors property. This strict enforcement alone would solve issues of pollution and demand that more be done to investigate what energy companies are trying to do to rush policy on hydro-fracking near water tables, etc etc etc.

We don’t need the federal government to solve our problems. We also don’t need a one-size fits all solution for each state. Put things back to the way they were and let states take care of their own. The federal government is a bloated and broken institution that would have died off a long time ago if it was a corporation. Let’s shrink the role of the FG and let our politicians spend more time working at home for those they serve and not allow corporations to decide what’s best for individual citizens.

Ron Paul 2012

I do not believe Ron Paul should be president and many of his views are too strident. Yet, he has the best basic message of those running. And the head-to-head polls against Obama have consistently shown he is electable (compared to the likes of Santorum, Gingrich or Perry). I applaud hi for a GOP that has still largely lost its way. Do not forget how badly W and the GOP elite so badly harmed this country by their unfunded programs and wars. Obama has nothing on W. Those elites are still controlling too much of the GOP and the way they hhave been pushing Romney for years is evidence of that. I applaud Dr. Paul for trying to rescue my former party of 34 years and help it finds its way for the future. I am supporting him until the GOP comes to its senses. The GOP certainly will not win the presidency in 2012, nor would I want it too with Romney. Far too much risk of another W. I’ll be sitting my third pres election in a row out, and urge others to do the same. .

Ron Paul, a patriot, who has honorably served his country, defends both the constitution and civil liberties, and is for peace and prosperity. Dr. Paul has the wisdom, foresight, honesty and integrity to be president.

Dr. Paul believes spending and deficits are destroying this country. Dr. Paul’s budget plan would save $1 trillion in the first year. Besides the spending cuts, there are other issues of importance to voters. For conservatives, Dr. Paul scores an A+ on all of them: Second Amendment protection, pro-life record, right-to-work, pro-business, anti-tax, states’ rights, you name it.

Dr. Paul also believes America should have the strongest national defense on earth — which he believes begins with not trying to constantly police the earth. Right now, our government puts our best and bravest in harm’s way on a regular basis for questionable reasons and with no discernible notion of victory. This is not supporting the troops. It’s abusing them. Dr. Paul wants an end to this absurd, costly policy.

The voters have declared Dr. Paul the alternative to the liberal, flip flopping Mitt Romney. The other candidates are simply irrelevant. In the New Hampshire Primary, Dr. Paul received more votes than all the supposed Anti-Romney (Santorum, Gingrich, and Perry) candidates combined.

The question for Republican voters is not whether they can afford to vote for Dr. Paul – it’s whether they can afford not to.

America Needs Ron Paul.

Be it known that his supporters have their own “back up” plan; a write-in campaign come Nov.! We WILL not vote for any other Rep pres. candidate.

Vote for Ron Paul! The only honest, consistent, trustworthy politician in this race; the one that can’t be bought!

Do what you will GOP, Ron Paul or Obama, that is the choice of 2 homes here and 4 votes, all previously republican suspporters for 30 years each. The only change is Ron Paul and if he is not on the ballot we are voting Obama, at least he is honest about his Marxist leanings.

Republicans who support Romney, Gingrich or Santorum will vote for any candidate with an R next to their name. Ron Paul supporters will only vote for Ron Paul. Combine those facts and Ron Paul is the only person who can unify the Republican party and bring along the independents necessary to defeat Obama. Note: Paul supporters are not chiefly concerned with the short term problem of beating Obama. We’re concerned with the long term problem of restoring our Liberties.

No Gop without a Ron Paul nomination.
Arm in arm with all Ron Paul supporters that will NOT vote Republican unless Paul is the nominee.
I am part of the Restore America movement not a Paul follower only.
The GOP has already shown their true face with the delegate restructuring and the inevitable “brokered convention” where they choose for the party.

I do not believe it to be an exageration to say that this election election may be the most important election in the past century. Something BIG is going on here and a lot is at stake.

We (RP supporters) must flex our might if Dr.Paul does not recieve the nomination. I have seen many say that they will vote for Obama if Dr.Paul does not recieve the nomination. I personally believe that is counterproductive to the cause of liberty. A write-in or libertarian vote would be much more effective. All of our collective votes for Gary or a write in will derail Romney (or whichever puppet nominee is running against Obama) and Obama will win anyway, there is no need for you to vote for Obama.

That being said, please do not except any other republican candidate.

We all know establishment republicans in the Romney camp and otherwise will see all the messages we leave on major news network bulletin boards. We must make it clear that we will except anyone else.

Establishment republicans beware the only shot you have is RON PAUL.

WE CAN AND DERAIL AND SABOTAGE YOUR EFFORTS.

As the Good Doctor said in his manifesto…..

“Let the revolution begin.” – Dr. Ron Paul
