Ron Paul must run a third party campaign

If Republicans do the wrong thing as expected and refuse to nominate Ron Paul as their candidate, I now feel that Dr. Paul should run a third party or independent campaign in the general election. The lack of respect shown for Paul and his campaign by the party and the other candidates is an affront to all Constitution loving Americans and other people of good will supporting Paul. Paul is the only real conservative in the race, who's campaign stays true to the ideals of George Washington as outlined in his Farewell Address to the Nation. He is the only candidate who isn't simply a puppet for the Zionist movement. He is the only candidate, arguably, who is actually human. The verdict is still out on the other marionette GOP candidates.

Paul could cost the GOP the Presidency in a tight general election. I say, after the way they have treated Constitution loving Americans during this campaign they deserve it. He's already got a crap load of money, so he should use it. On the other hand, I still believe that voters will do the right thing and nominate the only legitimate candidate running for either party. If not though, an independent campaign is necessary.

So, when Ron Paul fails to get enough votes to be the nominee he should punish the party that he belongs to by doing everything in his power to derails its chances to win the election?

That's why they call on the playground, a sore loser.

Ron Paul is running on an agenda of limited government, individual freedoms and all that goes with it. Bringing the troops home immediately, cutting back the size of government so that we may be able to repeal the 16th Amendment. I was upset when he decided to run as a Republican because their platform is full of prohibitions to restrict our freedoms. My hope is that he will get the notoriety that he needs in the primaries and bring his voters over to the Independent Party and out of the prohibitions.

At this time, he is the only Republican I would vote for as the others want only social legislation against their sins. I figure that if you are too stupid to know that abortions are wrong, you are too stupid to vote.

I have good news for you . There is no difference between the republicans and the democrats. So if any of the welfare/warfare candidates win you win. The parasites will continue to receive their food stamps on time , KBR/Halliburton will continue to rake in gazillions , and the zionist state will continue to receive 4 to 6 bbbbillion dollars per year.

Ain't that peachy?!?!?

We're not on the playground, this is real life. Even if we were on the playground though, your premise is based on the loser being treated fairly and respectfully during the game. If not, then, its justified.

I probably support much of what you probably call "social legislation." If you don't think that the decay in moral and family values over the past half century is a problem I think you've burried your head in the sand. However, that is not enough to cause me to vote for Huckabee or someone like that. Restoring Constitutional government is much more important and above all minding our own business in the world instead of plunging the country into debt like Bush is doing is more important.

While Ron Paul is a Constitutionalist and not a Progressive he still has a lot of support from many Democrats. He is opposed to government spying on the people and opposed to federal legislation opposing abortion (although he personally opposes abortion). He supports the rights of the People which even most Democratic politicians oppose.

Yes, Ron Paul could draw a lot of votes from both Democrats and Republicans and I would vote for him if the Democrats put up someone like Hillary or Obama and the Republicans someone like McCain or Gulliani.

One might also expect him to switch back to the Libertarian Party as well.
