Ya know, I’ve been going that way myself. Moving Santorum and Bachman to the side, of the other four candidates I think Paul would do the least damage to the country. The RINO candidates—Gingrich, Romney and Perry—are beholden to the demrat party one way or another.
I think a significant number of nonMarxist dems will find any one of them fairly easy to vote for—and they will. Onada will hold the white Marxist (including union voters) and black vote. That’ll get him to around 30%. He can’t win with that. IMHO it’s conceivable Paul could win with someting like 45-50% of the Pubbie/conservative vote.
Personally, I think we will have a brokered Pubbie/conservative convention. Also, I believe Palin remains a wild card. She has a natural ability to generate excitement and communicate.
In the absense of any other info I think the remaining prmary months will be largely meaningless as far as determining who the GOP candidate will be. It must obvious even to the three RINO amigos there is no ground swell of support for any of them. This will not change for genuine Tea Party conservative voters.
If we can’t get a conservative on the GOP ticket we may have to go with Paul—in lieu of a write in campaign for Bachman, Santorun or Palin. This will be very viable as long as we hold the House and gain the Senate with a predominance of Tea Party conservatives.
Despite saying the goofiest things and being a libertarian, I believe Paul is an American first. He will focus on securing the country by fixing the economy and making the US the overwhelmingly strongest militry power on earth.
Rhe House and Senate can then focus on undoing the Marxist disaster and returning the country to Capitalism—the most successful ecomomic model the world has ever seen.
Ron Paul?
No thanks. He’s the worst of the bunch, and I have doubts as to whether he still has control of his mental faculties, giving that bizarre, childish comment about Michele Bachmann on Leno’s show.
There is nothing in Ron Paul’s statements or ideology that gives me any cause to believe he is interested in a buildup to military predominance. Rather he prefers the opposite — a minimalist military, with no global reach or global presence. Plus, a guy whose foreign policy stances are to the left of Obama will never get my vote.
You want to vote for Paul, go for it, but I’m not ever going along for that ride.
