Dear Friends,
We all want to see Ron Paul as the next president of the United States. In order to get there, he will first have to win the Republican nomination. I have seen him state on television that he will not run as a third party candidate, so it is vital that he win the nomination. This article from Wikipedia outlines the Republican primaries schedule.
Why is this important? As alert reader Verbatim writes:
As you may realize, there are many people from across the spectrum planning to support Ron Paul: Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Green Party members, disenfranchised Democrats, and of course the disenfranchised Republicans.
Many of these people may not realize that they NEED to change party affiliations to Republican to vote in the GOP Primary in many States. I think this information is important to get out as is instructions on how to change ones' party affiliation and the DEADLINE for each State. I think this information would be useful on every Ron Paul supporter website in existence, even if it is simply linked to.
Thanks, Verbatim
This is the preliminary schedule...

To: PlainOleAmerican
Im saying that it is unethical at best, and at odds with the constitutional process to manipulate the results of a political party nomination by switching parties solely for that purpose, without adopting the belief systems of that party. Its a SCAM, pure and simple.
No, it is the exercise of individual states and their state parties in how best to attract new voters, encourage voters to vote for their most desired candidate, etc. It fosters (ugh) democracy. Well, okay, as long as they don't consider that any great virtue in our representative republic. The Founders intended this sort of limited exercise of democracy at the state and local level. But not nationally.
I would NOT endorse spamming the DNC either. So it has nothing to do with who the unethical behavior benefits. Its unethical, and it scews the system, no matter who it benefits.
Killjoy. You must have been a hallway monitor or class president back in elementary school.
Libertarians do NOT have the numbers to swing the conservative party in any direction. 2-3% at best...
I think the best estimates indicate a 7%-10% range among Republican voters. But it depends on the election, the candidates, the issues. Kind of fluid. There is a discernible libertarian strain in the GOP but it's almost impossible to quantify over time. Not trying to be evasive here. It's those darned voters who are evasive if you ask me! Have you ever met our voters, BTW? Damned herd of cats.

That first thread is one I’d seen earlier today but lost track of. The second, of course, is very familiar. It’s something those Libertarians here should read.

They are trying to FLOOD the system with people who are not really Republicans - kind of like flooding the system with ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS who vote for Demos!

You want to argue that manipulating party nomination processes is some sort of states right now?
Show me where that’s written?
Since when is the intentional “outside” manipulation of party politics a legitimate part of the party nomination process?
Make up any defense you want. We all know what we are talking about here.
We are talking about a small fringe group of the party supporting a small insignificant fringe libertarian candidate inside of a party where the majority oppose that candidate and his views.
So, the fringe candidate and his supporters go outside of that party to find like-minded supporters from across the political aisle, who are also opposed by the vast majority of that party, invite them into the party for the purpose of hijacking it’s nomination process and you think this is an ethical and healthy form of “democracy” at work???
No more devils advocate excuses. This is what you support??? This is good governance in your opinion?
To: juliej
Funny....
Libertarians are the smallest of insignificant fringe extremists, yet they somehow perceive that they are the “mainstream” of conservatism, which happens to oppose them almost as much as Marxism.... LOL
Talk about delusionsal.
It’s like “little man” syndrom, or penis envy. LMAO!
Libertarians have never been the mainstream of anything... and at the rate they are pissing off everyone, they never will be. Legends in their own minds, they are... OMG
Where’s Dr. Phil when you need him?

To: juliej
True... but if they believe so strongly, why aren’t they proud to be libertarians? Why are they hiding under the guise of conservatism or Republican?
Why won’t Paul run as a Libertarian Independent?
I have NO complaints with that. I only have a complaint about trying to hijack someone else’s party when they lack the numbers and power to have their own party...
To: Rita Hayworth
No, that’s priceless right there! LOL
To: PlainOleAmerican
Why are they hiding under the guise of conservatism or Republican? Why wont Paul run as a Libertarian Independent?Because they know they have no shot at anything that way, let alone the Presidency. So they try to hijack the GOP primaries to give themselves a shot, albeit a fraudulent one.
Dishonest, shameful, pitiful. But I'm beginning to believe illustrative.
