Lincoln came out of nowhere also.
We just saw a showdown with congress where they voted to over-ride a Bush veto for a pork laden spending bill. You seem to think even if by a miracle RP is elected, everything will go his way. Politicians of both parties will block most everything you say he will accomplish in his first term. Who will stand by him in the congress? Who will not vote to override a veto? Where will the votes of support come from? How many Republicans have endorsed his presidential run? I used to be a Libertarian when I was young,idealistic, foolish and stupid. Don’t get me wrong, I still support many Libertarian views, but the Libertarian party is toast when it has no room for people such as Neal Boortz. Ron Paul’s foundation of his whole presidential run is based on a lie when he is a Libertarian and running as a Republican.
Well, a Ron Paul Presidency would send a message to the GOP and to the Congress that the people are fed up with business as usual.
As for Ron Paul being a Libertarian and not a Republican, why can't he be both?
We need to have a Political Party that actually stands for limited government and that means going against the elites in both Parties.
“Well, a Ron Paul Presidency would send a message to the GOP and to the Congress that the people are fed up with business as usual. “
Why don’t you send a message by voting out the frickin representatives that can’t say no to pork and big government? I’m not a Ron Paul hater as some have called me. We need gadflies in the House and Senate.
He is unelectable as president. The democrats have been able to pound the RINOS easily as evil and uncaring. Ron Paul is their wet dream! The perfect evil candidate that is going to take away everything you have and make you eat dog food and make you watch watch babies starve because government programs are going away.
It doesn’t matter if there is any truth to what they say, but there damned sure is enough ammunition for them to use until their gun barrels melt down.
I’ve heard that 60% of Americans get some sort of check from the government every year. (Psst. Ron Paul is going to take your check away.) How easy was that to get moderates to vote for the candidate that will keep that check coming?
It’s like making a heroin addict quit cold turkey. I detest socialism and socialists. Even taking one year would be too short of a time to wean Americans off of socialism. 75 years in the boiling pot.
That is the futility of voting for Ron Paul.
