10 Reasons Why Ron Paul Should be Vice President

August 16, 2007

If Ron Paul fails to win the Republican nomination, it may seem absurd to consider Ron Paul as the vice presidential running mate to any of the other Republican presidential candidates. But before you think so, we have brainstormed this here at our office and found that Ron Paul would make the best choice for Vice President.

The major item of concern in choosing a vice presidential running mate is to select someone that can help you win and to find someone whose strength is your weakness. In 2004, John Kerry chose John Edwards to help him carry the south (that did not happen). In 2000, George W. Bush who lacked foreign policy experience chose Dick Cheney. In 1996, an old and tired Bob Dole chose former football player Jack Kemp.

There is very little evidence to suggest that a Vice President will help you win the nomination. Edwards did not help Kerry carry the south. Bush won by the slimmest of margins in Florida but that was not attributed to Dick Cheney, and Bob Dole still seemed old despite Jack Kemp being on his ticket.

The reality is that Ron Paul could change all of that if he was second in line to a Rudy Giuliani or a Mitt Romney, etc... And here is our reasons for saying so.

1. Ron Paul has the largest online army of every presidential candidate in either party and choosing him as your running mate would allow you to tap into that. Imagine all the free bloggers and YouTube videos posted for you.
2. Ron Paul has the largest grassroots organization through meetup of all the candidates and they will invariably support you for free as they are doing for Ron Paul right now.
3. Imagine all the money that can be saved from having a free online presence and an already established grassroots organization. Use that money to win the battleground states of Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
4. Ron Paul's antiwar message resonates with the majority of voters and has been able to attract Independents and Democrats into the party.
5. Ron Paul still has the visions of Ronald Reagan: small government, less taxes, etc... and falls in line with true conservatism.
6. Republican voters will not care that you selected Ron Paul as a running mate and not vote for you but you may sway other voters to come into the big tent.

7. By selecting Ron Paul as a vice presidential running mate, you will keep him from running as an Independent third party candidate that spoils a close race against the eventual Democratic nominee. There have been many instances of libertarians running for office and spoiling a win for the Republican party in an attempt to move the party platform.
8. Ron Paul can be no worse than Dick Cheney.
9. Disinterested voters for the cause of liberty who have been fed up with the process are choosing to support Ron Paul and will be excited with Ron Paul on your ticket. Nobody ever got excited about John Edwards, Dick Cheney, or Jack Kemp the way they would with Ron Paul.
10. Young voters, 18-29, make up approximately 17% of the voters in a presidential election. They tend to support the third party candidate at a rate of 2:1 and they favor the Democratic candidate over any other demographic. Look at Ralph Nader and John Kerry voters in 2004. Ron Paul will be able to cause a shift in the young voters. Causing a shift in young voters would have its greatest impact if voter turnout was increased which would be likely to happen.

So it is our contention that if Ron Paul does not win the presidential nomination, the eventual winner whether it is Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Fred Thompson, or Mitt Romney; they should select Ron Paul for the maximum likelihood of winning.

7 reasons to move to Sealand
This is why, if given the chance you would want to move to the Principality of Sealand…..

1) It is the only country with no army and no police force

The nation is so secure that an army and police force are not needed. The inhabitants of the nation look after the daily running of the Principality and see no need for an army or police force.

2) It has the lowest crime rate in the world – 0%

As the Principality is very difficult to reach and with a lowly population, crime is not an issue so it officially has the world’s lowest crime rate!

3) It has the highest GDP per person in the world

With only a handful of inhabitants who run their own businesses the GDP of the country is the highest in the world, beating even the likes of trillion dollar economies such as Hong Kong

4) It fought off the British Navy single handedly and won

The British Royal Navy tried to seize control of Sealand in 1968 but the islanders fought back and fired upon the Navy who retreated. The battle was brief but after the point of retaliation from the Principality the Navy and no other country has since attempted to invade or attack Sealand

5) There is no personal tax; everything you earn is tax free

Sealand has its own economy, own banking and own rules. There is no tax on personal earnings and is a complete tax free haven for the inhabitants

6) It has its own secure data centre

The Principality has its own data centre’s on the island. If Sealand wanted to, they could host and distribute any type of file without fear of prosecution as they are outside all countries laws and jurisdictions! The file sharing network PirateBay tried to purchase the island in 2007 to take advantage of this loop hole, but failed in their attempted purchase!

7) It has the world’s smallest postal service

Never worry about your letters being delivered late! The island has issued their own stamps and using drops to the mainland and around the world are officially able to send and receive their own mail under their own national postal service

Libertarians, before you get your hopes up too much...this is Sealand:

Ron Paul has the largest online army of every presidential candidate in either party.



Riiiiight. I stopped reading right there.

[Abcdefg]

I wonder how long Ron Paul will have served as president before some of the people on this thread realize just how wrong they are about him.

He will make a great United States president.

[Revelation 911]

Paulastians spamming FR is one reasoning I’ll never vote for L Ron Paul.

what specifically is it about him that is so distasteful to you?

[Non-Sequitur]

Ron Paul is 72. His age would be a factor against him, but most importantly I see no reason why he would want to accept second spot on the ticket.

[org.whodat]

I kind of wondered if being an attorney was a requirement.

Actually you are not required to be an attorney to be on the supreme court.

[cripplecreek]

That’s what I thought so it didn’t make sense that he would need to be an attorney to be AG.

[dirtboy]

what specifically is it about him that is so distasteful to you?

Iraq - wimp
Earmarks - shrimp

[kabar]

Ron Paul voted against the Patriot Act repeatedly, which means he doesn’t want to give this country the tools it needs to defend itself. Ron Paul shouldn’t be elected dog catcher let alone VP.

[lormand]

"I wonder how long Ron Paul will have served as president before some of the people on this thread realize just how wrong they are about him."

Consider the opposite.

[ejonesie22]

What do you meanM our shrimp vely yum yum...

You eat, you like...

[ejonesie22]

Consider how long RP would serve before DC was a smoking hole in the ground...

[humblegunner]

Isn't he a nutcase who thinks islam is innocent of terrorism?

Last I heard him tell it, he's in favor of cut-and-run.

[fightinJAG]

This is The Onion, right?

[fightinJAG]

Or, as Bones would say, “I’m a doctor, not a miracleworker, Jim!”

[lormand]

What would a Ron Paul Administration look like?

Alex Jones - White House Spokesman and advisory

I could see him putting on his tin-foil hat when the cameras started rolling.

[fightinJAG]

Exactly.

[McCloud-Strife]

cut and run, cut and run, cut and run. We have enough of that from the Democrats, thank you, NEVER!
