Ron Paul Warns GOP Not To "Capitulate" On Taxes, Won't Rule Out Indy Bid (Hannity radio interview)

Ron Paul with Sean Hannity discussing the economy and the election. Paul talks about the lack of attention he receives, if he is not ignored altogether. Paul says he and his staff were "annoyed" by the fact that he only received 89 seconds to speak at the last Republican debate.

Paul warned his Republican colleagues in the Congress that they better keep their pledge to not raise taxes. He says if they do "capitulate" on taxes then people will make them pay.

"I have no intention of doing that," Paul says of a third-party run if he doesn't get the Republican nomination. However, when asked several times by Hannity to rule out an independent bid, he would not.

If he runs as an independent, the three people who would vote for him will not make a difference to either main stream candidate.

Are you trying to say here that only Paul can beat BHO?

I think CWII is almost assured, no matter what happens with the electoral process. The 50-state union is living on borrowed time.

He’ll steal more votes from Obama than from the GOP.

That kook is a great asset to Obama. He pollutes and dilutes the GOP race. He has never had any chance of winning and never will. His only support is the same cult that always promotes him.

I’m saying he’s the only one running who fully honors the Constitution. I believe he COULD READILY beat Obummer and I believe his 1.5 trillion and 3-4 department cuts in year one of his administration are the only things that can PEACEFULLY restore the republic.

I’m losing faith in any GOP candidate doing anything to reverse the course we the United States is heading towards.

A third party candidate who appeals to both sides and wants to put America first would be great.

Ross Perot could have a great shot of doing this had he not got out because of threats to his family and than got back in and asked the Admiral to join him as VP.

Watched some of “Unreasonable man” about Ralph Nader’s 08 bid. In that film he talks about being threatened and offered millions of dollars to drop out by several sources because they knew it would hurt Gore.

We need to be saved and this two party, same party of nitwits don’t give a crap about anyone but their jobs.

I don’t want to jump to the presumption that you are a moron.
So let me explain that if election day happens to be clear and sunny and I live in Coral Gables next to the polling station I would put on my shorts and vote for Ron Paul barefooted.
But if I lived in, say Alaska ten miles from the polling station and someone like you had stolen my vehicle, or slashed the tires and taken my shoes because of some pathetic foot fetish.
Then on my Oath if Ron Paul Paul were the Republican nominee I would walk barefooted to vote for him.
I know, I know,
I am a anti semetic jew hating nazi.
I know your tactics, save your breath.

Many of the things Dr. Paul says are appealing, but he is a better talker and conversationalist than a serious leader. He just is too much a NUT, and a dangerous nut at that. He thinks that we can get along with Iran by being more friendly to them. He is clueless on real-world foreign policy. That is dangerous, and could be fatal for America.

If the race is between Obama and Paul, I will seriously consider moving to Poland — and I do not even speak Polish! Or maybe I will go to Lithuania. Who knows.

3-4 department cuts

Unlike Perry, bet the old man could name the departments he wants to cut.

No matter who wins, the GOV will continue to explode with more BS departments.

If they nominate Newt or Romney, I’m done with the republicans. If I wanted to pay for abortions, I don’t need them to force me to pay for them.

Your beginning wasn’t very good, kinda flat. Your ending, well, it sucked.

BUT, that stuff in the middle was absolutely hilarious.

Just so you’ll know, I kinda like Paul, except for that sanity thing. ;>)

Seriously, you should vote for the candidate that you believe in and trust the most, but if your going to make it public that you’re a Paul supporter, you need to be ready for the wisecracks and jokes.

I meant you no harm, but Paul is such a target rich environment that guys like me just can’t help it. I know, I know, it’s a self control issue...LOL

Cheers.........

Obama has no greater asset in this race than Willard Romney.

You have that right! But Ron Paul is already siphoning votes from real contenders.

No, he's not siphoning votes. Go talk to a Ron Paul supporter, you'll find that they don't care about any other candidate. If Paul wasn't running, they wouldn't be voting.

Gore could have won if he'd simply won his own state.

We need to be saved and this two party, same party of nitwits don’t give a crap about anyone but their jobs.

That's where we are headed - both parties only caring about lobbyists and winning the next election.
