I don’t see what’s so wrong with giving an honest assessment of the situation. And neither Doug nor I are infallible so maybe a miracle will happen and Paul will pull it off. But there are far more reasons for supporting the Ron Paul campaign than the desire to make Ron Paul President. The important point is to influence policy and if someone other than Ron Paul wins the presidency and is forced to implement some of Paul’s programs due to the popularity that has arisen from Paul’s campaign, that is a major victory.

Even more significant would be a victory on character. If Paul gains lots of votes by refusing to pander to every whiney interest group that comes along and shows that a campaign dedicated to the long-term benefit of the nation can actually succeed over one that sells out to every special interest they can seduce, it would re-frame political debate in this country for a generation.

I certainly hope that Ron Paul wins. I seriously doubt that it will happen. But I know that the more successful he is, even in defeat, the more he will have succeeded in changing American politics.

I talked more than once here about the reasons I think the odds are against him.

For one, he doesn’t have the money needed to win a major party nomination.

For another, he doesn’t have the name recognition.

And, finally, as sad as it is, his message is so far removed from what most Republicans think these days that there’s just no realistic scenario under which they would nominate him.

No, I don’t think the nomination will be “stolen”

And, right now, I think the most likely Republican nominees would be either Giuliani or Fred Thompson. Not that it matters, because right now I think either Democratic frontrunner is likely to win the General Election in a cake walk.

I have a question for you.

Are you saying Paul can’t win because you think:
that Ron Paul won’t get that many votes in the various state primaries, or because, you think that some GOP party hacks will engage in back-room mischief to ensure that it goes to someone else?

Either way, who do you think will actually get the nomination?

What does Kool-aid have to do with me? I suppose you are not willing to look at historical facts of false flag terror… If not you can be just as ignorant as most of the public and say it doesn’t’ exist… If you deny the truth then I question your interruption of what “truth” actually means to you.

Do you doubt the government has never staged it’s own terror attacks to make changes within our nation or abroad? I’m near completion with a citizens guide to false flag terror and I have over 30 examples and supported by government documents. My research did locate over 421 world wide of false flag terror.

With government documents and other facts would you still consider it a kool-aid or tin foil hat issue? If so then you would deny the truth.

Folks Doug stated ”
I like Ron Paul, I will vote for Ron Paul.
But there is no way that the 2008 version of the Republican Party is going to nominate him. Trust me on this one.”

Am I the only person Doug responds too?

Amy, the two party system is without a doubt corrupt but Paul was wise to chose the ticket he’s on… Why?

For one the two party system will not and I repeat will not allow a 3rd party at any debates.

In fact agreements were made to oppose a third party just after Ross Perot debated the parties.

I would suggest that all the libetarins register as republican and so you can help him obtain the nomination… I know for some this will infalme a few but it’s a basic strategy that will work.. Why? Becuase is also popular with other parties as well. While the traditional polls see him rising in numbers many of the polls are based on party polls and the only accept impute from registered party members. Since he first has to obtain the nomination my simply idea would have him win the nomination…. Neither party offers limits or exclusions or grace periods so once you become a new party member they want your impute… It’s as simple as that. The best way to test this is to simply call the National Party and find out for yourself how many calls or mailings you obtain after your contact.

Call this a stealth strategy but it will work and then once he obtains the nomination then return to the party of choice.

You see the established optios don’t want you to know this information but when you think about and investigate the deatils as I have it will work.

So if you are from another party and as much as yo u may hate the Rep. party it’s a move to effect real change in our nation.

Look at it this way it’s about our nation and our children and if Paul isn’t elected to office I fear for our nation. We are facing too many issues to have another neocon or clinton in office. The only answer is Paul.

Please consider my idea and present it to your friends who are from another party.

Togother if we think out of the box we can get Paul in office.

So you want me to drink the kool-aid and agree with you ?

Sorry, not gonna happen.

I like Ron Paul, I will vote for Ron Paul.

But there is no way that the 2008 version of the Republican Party is going to nominate him. Trust me on this one.

Have you followed other posts by Doug? They are always filed with lukewarm support for Paul even though he suggest he supports Paul. I have brought this to his attention and others with prior posts.

Folks, don’t you think it’s time to ignore Doug’s views until he is more in line with the actual support he suggests?

Doug even hints at faults for Barry Manilow’s support of Dr. Paul. He even undermines Paul’s success in other polls.

Doug, simply does not understand what it means to support a candidate. If he did and if Paul is his choice he would provide positive views and expose major issues instead of a comet about false flag terror (which is a factor with most wars) or imply a negative comment about Barry Manilow’s support. Why?

It was the main steram media who suggested that the proof would be with straw polls and implied Paul’s chances at straw polls would be far less… Yet, Paul has won three valuable straw polls not to mention a top 3 finish in two other polls. Keep in mind I’m only talking about GOP sponsored straw polls…

In many ways Doug’s action are very similar to the MSM by this I offer his lukewarm attitude and his constant undermining theme of Paul. So what is the difference between the MSM and Doug? It appears very little for they both desire to undermine Dr. Paul and I for one am sick of both actions.

Since Doug professes he is a true libertarian why don’t we let the market decide the future of Doug posts…. So if you agree with me folks lets send a message to Doug and tell him with our actions that we will not visit his posts until he offers a positive view of Paul…. Remember, he was the one who stated he supported Paul. So, if he does then encourage him to use his creative gifts to support Paul… If not just don’t visit his post when you get an alert.
