GOP Would Rather Lose Than See Ron Paul Nominated

Right, well I'm not going to continue the stupid banter. I did not see a fix, nor do I believe there was one. Until you have something concrete to show me, I'm done discussing the issue.

Yes, my big post is about Ron Paul, the GOP, the general election, and is completely in line with the title of the thread. I can't wait to hear some rebuttals to it, rather than meaningless, unfounded accusations meant to shift conversation away from the OP and the intent of the thread.

 

I actually watched it & from the available information on the coverage i believe it was fixed, until you post something to claim otherwise it's not worth discussing & obviously the results wouldn't count as proof being as they are being disputed, you claim to have watched it but you failed to see what happened it's that simple.

 

So now the burden of proof is on me to prove their credibility? Yea, that's real logical. As I said, if you think the burden of proof is on me, give up, because I'm not going to discuss it further with you. In either case, it's a small point compared to what I want to discuss in my big post, which is on topic with the original intent of this thread.

Respond to my big post, please?

 

I think you're right on the nose that Paul can indeed bring most factions together..I'm just not so sure the powers that be will support him. We all know it's not enough for the American people to vote him in.. look what happened to Gore.

 

He's just an honest guy, and regardless how people feel about his stances, he is genuine and doesn't try to be something he is not.

Frankly, I'm sick to death of the nanny state. They are so bold, they don't even think they know what is best for us, they think they know what is best for the world. Meanwhile our election system is totally geared to only having two candidates, and our congressmen don't vote based on their constituents needs.

The system needs a shakeup. And regardless of how Paul makes out, a whole new generation has been awakened to the idea of dumping the Fed, becoming independent of social security and shutting down the IRS. And that's great that we finally have a little friction, because if we don't push back against these big government a-holes, they have shown they cannot keep each other in check when it comes to corporate handouts, or selling out the public trust for money.

 

Raises a new question; what's Paul's stance on the electoral college? Personally, I don't like it... I feel like it was created based on the premise that American's don't know what's good for them...

 

I'm not a fan of the Electoral College either but apparently Paul is:

Interesting read... I don't fully agree with him; but atleast he can articulate why he feels the way he does...

 

I can at least see his point.. makes sense!

 

Growing numbers of people know Dr. Ron Paul is the only one who can beat Hillery.

 

you mean from 2% support to maybe 2.1% support??? RP has no chance...

 

As someone who doesn't lean to the right at all, I see Ron Paul as a classic independant kind of candidate. It was smart for the Ron Paul Girl ads to promote to independants and democrats.

By being in that classic independant mode he can answer questions incredibly cleanly, as opposed to candidates like Romney or Giulani who are dancing around some issues in the Republican primaries....or like Hillary who is similarly dancing around some issues in the Democratic primaries.

Independants have never made it in a general election...though at some point one will as people get more and more dissatisfied with the two parties.

If the Republican party is trying to close out registration specifically to keep Paul from getting more opportunities it is simply one more reason to veer from the two parties.

 

It's suicide in my view.. hopefully they'll realize it's better to have a Republican in the White House than not and leave Paul alone.
