Great News!!!!

[free.alive]

Maureen Moore, the Washington Campaign Coordinator, and Campaign Manager Lew Moore's wife, last night at a meeting of 60+ volunteers in Issaquah, WA said that she had just received word that Ron Paul would be continuing the campaign and going forward with his bid for the Republican nomination.

It looks like Dr. Paul has committed to finishing this thing out and is sticking to his word of fighting until we're ready to give up. He is a hero and a giant among men.

McCain has sealed the nomination with Romney out

That's very good news. I hope it's true.

Wow, where is all this third party support going to come from? Supposedly 50,000 members of a 3rd party in Nevada were all switching their registration to Republican to support Ron Paul. I'm wondering if ANY of them did after how many votes were cast there. Let me guess, many people saying they can't support a Republican so they won't switch to support Paul. Wow, the third parties are really up for change :rolleyes: I'm guessing even if he did run independent most of them would still say something to the effect of "Well, he's been a Republican all those years so I can't vote for him"

don't let the door hit you in the a**on the way out.

[LukeNM]

Run 3rd party so he can loose his congressional seat, for nothing! Not going to happen. He needs to stay in this until the end -- and all the cash is gone! I bet he already paid in advance for ads in the remaining states.

[tamor]

RP has done that -- he knows what he is doing -- back off

[Sauron]

So what does Ron Paul have on the agenda for February? Looks like nothing according to the events list on ronpaul2008.com

[virginiakid]

I don't think he will run third party. He said repeatedly that he wouldn't run. Although I would love for him to run as an Independent. I hope I am wrong.

Great news - we need a "Ron Paul For The Long Haul" money bomb.

This is good. McCain or huckabee make a deal it will be very hard to come out ahead, yet they stay running seperately this could turn out well for us. Obama wont win because of the SUPER DELEGATES are bought off by the Clintons already. Obama supporters dont know that yet, when they do they will be outraged and may swing our way.

[colecrowe]

it's obvious that Ron Paul will win 90% of the remaining states. And then there will clearly be a brokered convention and Ron Paul will win.

What is insane and stupid to think is that Ron Paul has ANY chance in hell of succeeding as an iNDEPENDENT candidate. People that believe that are trolls and are giving up and have never and will never really support Paul, and they are stupid and offer no evidence.

Whereas, just look at the abundance of evidence that he can win the GOP Nomination...

And besides, sticking with and "changing" the GOP is way more important that getting Ron Paul in the Whitehouse. And also, having Ron Paul in the House of Representatives is way more important than mounting an independent bid for president--because the independent bid isn't certain.

You say you want proof that Ron Paul will win the Republican Nomination, well fine, you idiot troll satanic person that says you will support Ron Paul as an independent and give thousands more, get signatures, and canvass until your feet fall off and phone explodes (you obvious non-supporter of Ron Paul). Well, here's your evidence...

Just go back and find all the posts that say:

"Why RP will win in IOWA"
"Iowa picks corn, New Hampshire picks presidents"
"Iowa picks corn, New Hampshire picks 100 years in Iraq
"New Hampshire: 92% stupid"
"Stupid old people in New Hampsire!!!!!!"
"Why Ron Paul will WIN in Nevada"
"Romney Bussed out the Mormons in Nevada"
"Why Ron Paul will win in Montana"
"Every Mormon in Montana came out!!"
"Don't give up hope! RON PAUL WILL GET 1ST IN NORTH DAKOTA"
"Arabs will give Ron Paul 2nd place or better in Michigan"
"Stupid socialist union members in Michigan"
"Ron Paul will win Alaska"
"Stupid Alaskans on Welfare"

and if you still doubt the cause after all that evidence, just look what's up now:

"Ron Paul to get 1st place in Washington...Guaranteed...For Reals this time!!!!!"

Face it, the GOP has rejected us. There is no plausible path to the nomination after today, none. The next stage in our ideological struggle to save this country is to undertake an Independent run for the White House. I realize there are a lot of naysayers on this issue. Some people think it's insanely hard to do and that it cannot be done. I submit the following points to argue otherwise. If you agree, please help me spread word about the site and make sure to signup today. :D


Ballot Signatures:
We need to gather about 800,000 signatures nationwide to get on the ballots. We have a wonderful precinct captain system to help accomplish this, and I've read reports that to hire collectors to do the job would cost about 3 million dollars. It's absolutely ridiculous to suggest that we cannot collect these signatures.

Sore Loser Laws:
Only four states in the country present possible issues with Sore Loser laws: Texas, Ohio, South Dakota, and Mississippi. There may be legal grounds to dispute these laws. More information here (http://www.ballot-access.org/2007/01/12/sore-loser-laws-dont-generally-apply-to-presidential-candidates/) and here (http://www.ballot-access.org/2007/07/20/do-sore-loser-laws-apply-to-presidential-candidates/)

Votes:
Polling done by Rasmussen a week ago showed that Ron Paul would garner between 7-11% of the vote in four-way matchups that included Bloomberg, Paul, and the GOP/Dem nominees. More info here. (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/will_michael_bloomberg_ron_paul_run_third_party_ca mpaigns_in_2008)

Debates:
Perot got in them before, no reason we cant pull it off as well. If the polling above is true, then the media might actually let us in. Double digit support is the key, and it looks like we might be able to manage that.

A New Era:
We've learned some important lessons and made some mistakes, but the campaign activities have improved at the official level, and the grassroots got their much needed wakeup call that our attention starved methods are not very effective. We still have powerful weapons at our disposal, namely the 24 hour news cycle, new media, high name recognition, record high voter dissatisfaction, etc... Most importantly, we have the winning message and the dedication to spread it. Educating people takes time, we shouldn't give up yet.

Anything can happen.

Huck drops.

Then what if McCain has heart attack from all of the stress put on him from lieing all the time?

What if the dollar plummets enough to wake up the idiots in this country?

Yes. Exactly. We should hold on to the slightest, craziest ray of hope, because that would obviously be a million times more rational than going iNDY.

YOU'RE NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. RON PAUL IS. IF YOU DON'T SUPPORT HIS DECISION, FIND AN OTHER CANDIDATE.

I tend to agree. I was never a 3rd party/Independent proponent but this Romney bowing and handing the nomination to a figure so detestable to conservatives as McCain is like a gift on a silver platter.

If there is any possibility that Ron Paul will run independent/3rd party, the timing is crucial to announce it NOW. Conservatives are on the verge of mutiny.

[Swmorgan77]

All I am saying is that IF he's willing to run as INDY/3rd party, which he has every right to refuse, the opportunity to announce now and take advantage of the situation is big.

I will personally pledge every effort I am capable of to work towards securing ballott access.

[speciallyblend]

Ron Paul isnt the problem ,the republican party is,they have no interest so far in ron pauls message. I hope this changes but from what my local gop believes,it isnt going to happen.

I hope im wrong but having faith in the republican party to nominate Ron Paul is the first major blunder,but NEVER SAY NEVER
