If Ron wanted to spread the idea of libertarianism, then he should really run for president under the Libertarian Party. I think that is our only hope, to create a third party to make the Republican Party irrelevant. If Ron ran as a LP candidate, and encouraged the LP to have a libertarian candidate for every Congressional race and as many state legislative races as possible, the libertarian message would get broad publicity. Libertarianism gets misconstrued as some sort of radical conservative ideology when a Republican is also a libertarian. Libertarianism and conservatism are distinct ideologies, with some similarities regarding economics and gun rights. Beyond that, they are incompatible with one another.
(this was a response I gave in another thread, but thought it would be good enough to start a new thread)
We need THOUSANDS of Ron Pauls running for every office possible. Expecting one 76 year old man to fix things is completely unrealistic. The Republican Party DOES not want libertarians in their ranks. They want "conservatives" in the Republican Party. Ron Paul is the only person who could lead enough libertarians out of the Republican Party and into the Libertarian Party so that it would truly be a force to be reckoned with.
