What would your reaction be if Ron Paul won the presidency? What do you think Ron Paul's reaction would be if he won?

Personally, I think a bunch of people would be crying.

I have NO idea how RP himself would react, but he may be pondering it lately.

[squirekyle]

I'd probably cry, and then be very very happy, and breathe a huge sigh of relief, thinking: it's over. We did it. Then get back to work on getting congress to pass his Restore America Plan and beyond. The work doesn't end at the White House, the American people have to stand up and not get lazy again.

[JK/SEA]

I'll be thinking....ok..now the work begins...

[PursuePeace]

I'm fairly certain I'd lose my voice from yelling "RON PAUL!!" and "YEAH BABY!!!" every 10.7 seconds.
Once I lost my voice, then I'd probably cry tears of joy and relief.

[McChronagle]

Definitely.

[Xenophage]

I'd have a real sense of optimism, but our next battle would be in the 2014 elections, and we have a lot of inroads left to make before political philosophy really changes course in this country. The fight is unlikely to be over in any of our lifetimes.

Paul's reaction would probably be bewilderment. There'd be a huge shakeup in the executive branch. Everyone would get fired :) I'd love it.

I think I'd get shitfaced on that night. I don't usually drink much.

[ams5995]

ive been googling this possibility every day for...4 years now. for hours a day researching all the information i can find. id definately be balling im not ashamed to admit it.

[iamse7en]

Remember, there are no political saviors. The den of thieves and globalists will not bend over and take constitutional government. Yes, a Paul presidency would greatly stifle their evil plans, but it's up to us to change this country.

wise words

[anaconda]

Would be my sincere hope that he moves quickly and decisively to engage the enemy. He has to clean house in the CIA, Justice Dept., and the military even before day 1. Else everything is in great jeopardy. I would get his Attorney General quietly hammering on the 9-11 issue from day 1, making indictments and pressuring people people to talk with immunity deals, etc. Exposure and prosecution of past crimes against the American people should be a signature of a Paul administration. Dr. Paul may only have 4 years to show the American people what has transpired while they were sleeping. Else power will return to the globalists.

[Perry]

Believe me I have already warned my wife, mom & coworkers that if Ron gets in office I will both be in tears and jumping and screaming for joy. ALL of which are uncharacteristic of me. It would mean a nation coming to repentance, which is the equivalent of your loved one repenting and returning home. The prodigal son comes to mind.

[rp713]

tears of joy. real hope in the white house. then pressuring my congressman to vote for ron paul's different plans. the work doesnt end at the election. alot of socialism and globalism to fight against. not to mention they might make an attempt on his life. the elite dont play.

[Vet_from_cali]

manly tears of joy......SRS

[eleganz]

I think I would run outside running around hysterically yelling President Paul, we will throw a Ron Paul parade and just celebrate. The next thing I will do is figure out how to make every incumbent in California resign and replace them with liberty candidates.

Its the only thing we CAN do.

[Birdlady]

I'd probably be balling my eyes out. Once I collected myself, I'd definitely be celebrating with some champagne.

[samdthomas]

You are right I know that they would take very extreme measures to try to take him out of office. These globalists are scary the last president to oppose the fed reserve was kennedy....

[Fredom101]

Faint

[Mckarnin]

Double up on my prayers for him and his family, run around screaming and wear a Ron Paul shirt every day for a month!

[bunklocoempire]

I'll be thinking....ok..now the work begins...

This.

Really begins. Keep those bastards on the run and chain this monster down.

With my family I'll thank God for the opportunity, and pray for strength not to drop the ball. I'll continue to tell others of the opportunity.

I'll shoot guns with my family and neighbors, BBQ with them, drink beer, and discuss the on going return to our roots. :)

Cereal. Super cereal.

Bunkloco

[Gravik]

I think it would be absolutely priceless to see the look on the faces of the haters and non-believers.

[Kluge]

Intense terror, followed by a rush of thoughts of how to act to improve the country's oft-cited statistics to help ensure Ron Paul isn't a one-term president, nor the last truly conservative president the country ever has in my lifetime.

[LeJimster]

My reaction would be.. Alrighty!! Game on!!

I'd love to see Ron pushing his policy changes through as President and people show him the respect he deserves. The troop withdrawals, dealing with the FED and all the potential good he could do in the ill conceived drug war, would be massive.

[AFPVet]

Yep... time to get back to work and keep up to date on politics.

[BuddyRey]

I will laugh, cry, dance, hug my family, run around town like a merry madman, take everyone I know out for Chinese food, and smoke the most expensive cigar I can find!

[LawnWake]

I'd be part of the winning team, so I'd probably turn my back on liberty and start a communist revolution. >.> Always root for the underdog!

On the real, though. If anything, it would just make me a lot more optimistic. Not much else I can do seeing as I'm Euro. No parties or anythang.

[BucksforPaul]

I have no shame in saying this as a grown man, but I will cry until it hurt. Of course they will be tears of joy and then I will throw a party with an open invitation to everyone on this forum.

[hazek]

To OP: Nothing because the media propaganda machine will not allow it to happen.

[TheNewYorker]

Quit my day-job, because I know my weekend part-time business would thrive without being taxed to death anymore.

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

I suspect I would react somewhat like Randy Marsh did in the South Park episode about Obama being elected. The next day would be back to work on making sure we get more into office at all levels all across the country.

[TheTexan]

When RP wins we need to all think about running for Senate :P

[Captain Caveman]

Truth!

[raider4paul]

I'd be cheering and call into work the next day, celebrating at a bar with as many local RP supporters as possible. Then the next morning I'd wake up, hungover on prospective Liberty, and book a flight and hotel to Washington DC on Jan 18th to be there for the inauguration. Then I'd come home and get to work on my state gov't.

[JohnGalt23g]

My reaction would be: "It's 12:00 PM, Jan 20 2013, Ron Paul just took his oath of office, and all is right with the world."

[No Free Beer]

[Darthbrooklyn]

I would run around the streets like a madman, then come home , pop a bottle of champagne, and then thank my poor wife for putting up with my constant Ron Paul addiction over the last year... note: I will do the same thing just for winning the nomination..

[affa]

my eyes tear up just thinking about it.

[UtahApocalypse]

Want to see this grown man cry? Give me my freedom back
Want to see this grown man run outside cheering into the neighborhood? give me my liberty back
Want to see this grown man show pride in his country? Give me America back
Want to see this grown man cry? Elect Ron Paul.

[Liberty74]

Since I am in DE, I will be planning a trip to the inauguration. :D

[ChristianAnarchist]

I'm going to cry scream and shout... then I'm going to have to pinch myself many times to make sure I'm not dreaming.

One of the first things I will do is stop paying income tax... I don't think a Paul administration justice department is going to
prosecute so called "tax crimes"...

[jumpyg1258]

I think it would be like that episode of South Park that was right after the election were everyone was going nuts on the streets.

[cucucachu0000]

if he won the nomination i would just let out a big wooohoooo and then get wasted. if he won the presidency i would definitely cry and just lay on the floor lol. god we need this guy to win.

[Corey]

OMG, the inauguration would be epic! Can you imagine? I'll be there. Oh, I'm daydreaming now, sigh...

[roversaurus]

I haven't flown my flag in years. I use to enjoy put it up on a windy summer day when doing yard work.

I'd fly my flag again.

[freeforall]

my reaction . . . F**K YEAH AMERICA!!!

ron's reaction . . . big smiles and a reminder to all of us that our work is just beginning

[tbone717]

A sense of accomplishment in a way, that after voting since 1988 for third party candidates that didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting above 2%, that the beliefs that I have held all my adult life have finally become mainstream.

[robmpreston]

I would party for 24 hours straight, recover and then get to work on the next phase. :)

[J-Reg]

I don't mean to be a buzz kill, but why don't we all get back to focusing on making sure he wins Iowa first? Then N.H., etc. He had a great debate performance, now let's pound that point home as much as we can and keep rollin'! One state at a time!

[anewvoice]

Not really certain how I would react, I'm certain a fine ale would be involved. And the week long inauguration party would be pretty fun!

[Steve-in-NY]

Im a handicapped man. You will see my paraplegic ass out dancing in the street.. or at least my front porch.
Seriously.

[Paulitics 2011]

Single man tear...

Then drink, drink, and drink some more.

And then it's work time. We replace Congress in 2014.

[Zarn Solen]

Obviously, I would be cheering like one of my my teams just one the Stanley Cup/ Super Bowl/ World Series.

That said, I was thinking about Congress. If Paul does win, we will need to have more libertarian minded people in Congress. Even if it is through the 2014 elections, rather than the 2012 elections. If Paul can set a new direction for the party, it is very possible.

[69360]

Tears

[Hyperion]

I would go to the inauguration in DC and dance at the Jefferson Memorial.

I will finally immigrate to the USA if it becomes once again the country that shows to the world what liberty is!

id cry pretty hard i think. all of this effort since 2007...id lose it. i teared up last night as he got praise from perry and romney and espacially when he made his statment on the other coming arounf to him.

he FINALLY bragged on himself. he deserved it!

This is MY opinion only.

Day 1: I'd be happy, rejoicing, and so glad that America elected an honest, constitutional, God fearing, loyal to his wife, and a man with real integrity as president.

Day 2: I'd spend almost every last dime I had on food storage, land, silver, livestock, and have food & ammunition stacked from floor to ceiling in my home. Also I'd go to home depot and buy super secure deadbolts, security tint for my windows, and extra wood & construction materials. This is because I believe if Ron is elected -

the bankers will crash the economy and blame it on him with his honest freedom loving and sound money message and constitutional philosophy.


Again my opinion. It's so obvious the bankers are in charge of this country along with corporate America with all the blackouts. None of us deny the blackouts and it proves conspiracy exists. I think they'll blame it on Ron Paul.

[J. Evins]

My grandfather has been a proud Ron Paul supporter for years and years, and he turned me on to his message. I can remember how much time we spent together discussing our country and politics. He passed way in November of this year. If Ron Paul was elected president I think I'd be extremely happy but also upset that my grandfather wasn't alive to see this.

[Ekrub]

I'd go put a Ron Paul 2012 sign in my uncles yard. And collect $1000 from him, which i would then donate to the campaign. (only have to give him a six pack of beer if Ron doesn't get the nomination). Then I'd cry like a baby.

Be happy that if his only accomplishment for liberty was turning you to the message he has done more than all the republicans on the stage save for Ron Paul. :)

[Sullivan*]

Fireworks baby!!! I've got an entire sack-full (when I say sack, I mean a sack the size of which barely fit in my Grand Cherokee!!!!) of rockets and fountains and stuff I put away after the 4th. Can't think of a better way to celebrate!!!

[low preference guy]

at first, a sense of relief. as the months and years go by, a greater sense of satisfaction from Paul's accomplishments. it will definitely be great when he brings back the troops. i look forward to not avoiding flying anymore due to the TSA.

it might just happen. things have changed and Ron Paul could win.

[Jandrsn21]

Plan a trip to the inauguration. Then help setup a massive DC tent party! A President Paul wouldn't shut down a group assembling peacefully and we could celebrate for days! Cigars, champagne, homebrew, good food, fireworks, live music, and all out fun!

[Endthefednow]

US Treasury Bonds would pay 7% interest or higher with sound money and troops brought back to the states year one the world

Sober, somber, reflection...and I'm not a praying man, on a regular basis, but I would offer up a prayer of thanks that enough people still believe in freedom and justice to do the right thing, to at least make some effort to turn this nightmare around.

We don't live in the free market that many people believe we do. All it would take is the green light given to the UAE to take the dollar off the price of oil and you'll see a global treasury panic and a dump on the dollar. Next thing you know you have saved a ton of paper. All blamed on Paul's philosophy of sound money & Austrian economics.

I'll state I hope that it won't happen, but just stating what I'll do because I believe these bankers will want power over the USA no matter what, and the only way to do that is to bring America and Ron's constitutional form of money to its knees. The people may hate him when they are sucking down bullion water. Remember, there is conspiracy against Ron Paul now - blackouts - because they need their power. My opinion.

It would be the happiest day of my life (and that's saying a lot, since I'll be almost 60 by then). Since my heart might explode, I better not make any plans beyond that day, but if I survive the burst of pure joy, I will be packing my warmest clothes for a hitch-hike to watch the inauguration. Then if I survive the explosion of happiness resulting from that experience, I will probably sleep for 3-4 days non-stop. Then when I wake up I'll have a hard time believing what just happened, and cry my eyes out for several days. Then I will live in dread that he gets assassinated. If that happens, I will probably hitch-hike back to Washington DC packing a Tokarev pistol (and plenty of the body-armoring-piercing ammo that goes with it) and a Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle.

[muh_roads]

Three things I will expect work on immediately...

1. The carriers are sent out to begin packing up the troops

2. Executive Orders are voided.

3. Bills are vetoed. I can't even think of a bill that could get to Paul's desk that he would sign? What realistically would come his way that he could sign given how shitty the congress and senate is? 1,000 page bills include too much of everything bad. He would need to send a message that if you want him to sign anything, the bills need to be small and focus on only one thing at a time.

[mport1]

I would definitely cry. One more giant step towards a free society. Then I would probably get upset since there would be so much left to be done just to get down to a constitutional government and then the final massive paradigm shift necessary for voluntaryism for this region and the rest of the world.

[Athan]

I'd go FUCKING BONKERS!

[Revolution9]

I too would cry tears of joy for Dr Paul. He has slogged a long and lonely road and it would set ablaze the cockles of my heart to see him get his just dues. I would reflect on this forum and the reach it had over the few years and the amazing dedication of so many here. The times I would get pissed or laugh my ass off and spend all day refreshing RPF instead of working. The sheer volume of learning material. All inspired by a humble baby doctor from rural Texas. And ya know. Rick and Mitt might actually shed a tear of joy as well. I think they honestly like Ron Paul. If Mitt is half the businessman he claims he knows who the best CEO for the country is. Rick can be proud his state is the home of the current POTUS.
