Why the hell not run 3rd Party. Why not turn the tables on the GOP and have them coming to us over the next four years, instead us being afraid of blow back from them? They know we want in to the Republican Party but have seemingly left us no other option.Originally Posted by VictorB
That web site is not measuring support, it is measuring how people match up with the candidates based on the survey. But if that web site is anywhere close to being correct of how people will vote then Obama is going to win in a landslide.
They will treat us like crap whether Ron runs third party or not. Ron should run to help the cause of liberty. It is only 2 more months then he can rest.
Maybe because Ron is 76 years old and has gone through three Presidential Elections? Maybe he's sick and tired of playing a game he never wanted to play in the first place? Leave the man alone, let him enjoy his retirement, and work within the Libertarian Party if you want to stick it to the GOP.
He gave you his answer on Leno tonight.
I supported a 3rd party run but it isn't going to happen. If he did, my first BIG suggestion would be that Ron needs some serious security because there will be some frothing at the mouth wing nuts out there. But it isn't going to happen. Let the man rest. I'm sure he has plans for more education.
Just two more months, then he can rest, what is two more months after all the campaigning he has done already?
He doesn't want to bang his head against a brick wall anymore.
Also it *could damage Rand's future. Boy I know that sentence isn't going to be popular. lol
As much as most people don't like that statement. It is true...
It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds. -Samuel Adams
If you're not inside the GOP then you're exactly where the establishment wants you to be.
I am the spoon.
The establishment knows how to marginalize us whether inside the GOP or working within a third party. So long as we make ourselves dependent on a party structure, we can be suppressed, and are exactly where they want us to be.
Paul has signaled to us (humorously) that he's not running 3rd party in 2012, but also signaled that 2016 is not off the table. This is a better signal than he gave before 2011 (prior to the current run, he said he had no plans to run again). Now he has himself encouraged us to think about a future run!

His remark about 2016 was a JOKE.
if you think you can save America by working inside the GOP, you're exactly where TPTB want you to be.
"Ron Paul, not going anywhere. Ideologically pure and tough as nails!"
ABO + NOBP = Ron Paul
Romney - NOBP = Obama
Post Election Addendum -
We warned you. You insulted and cheated us. You lost. Your fault.
Common sense would tell you that they should want us in the GOP to shore up their ranks. They just want us to shut up and make them a sandwich.
*edit..double post

I am amazed at some of the answers on this thread.
First of all nobody knows nothin'; all the speculating is ridiculous.
The best thing to do IMHO is to form a strong vital support group and show Paul we want a 3rd party run. Then work our ASSES OFF to make something great happen. If we do not capture el presidente position, at least we have pushed to the end and we have also made our grassroots stronger.
So, I say, let's go for it and make some real noise toward regaining our liberty- I do not think anyone can be sorry for 2 more months of work.
BTW- paraphrasing a famous TRUE story from "Think & Grow Rich": about a miner that was onto a gold mine but eventually gave up as the gold was nowhere to be found- another miner came in and struck gold just a few feet away. The last guy stopped with the gold in touching distance.
So, with that in mind, giving up 2 months away makes no sense to me.

you just don't get it do you?
you think a little ragtag group can raise at minimum 20 million per DAY that it will take to make a dent in the process, even to get 20%?
No one reads signatures.
Really.
Ragtag group... you should really stop talking about yourself that way.
I was raised to think that if money's the problem, then there is no problem- WORK, maybe but nothing that can't be surmounted.

Work to get $20 million a day. where do I apply?Really.

So- HOW many RP active followers are there? Even if it was only 200,000 supporters that would be $100 a day- 2,000,000 supporters = $10 a day.
And we don't need $20 million a day.

Comedians say jokes, politicians send signals. It was a possibility he stated humorously.
