Ahhhh, those wacky Ron Paul supporters. Part 23

I had to include several comments in this thread. They were just too funny...

Hundreds of thousands of people will show up for the MArch? So, every single person that has voted for him will also be willing to travel across the country for a silly march? Riiiight.

Simple: Ron Paul announces his independent candidacy for President in early March.
Instantly multiple money bombs would be set up. People would start collecting signatures for petitions to get Paul on the ballot in all fifty states plus Washington D.C. Media attention would spread. Paul's message would reach new people. Grassroots projects would be revived. Paul would easily garner the needed 10% to participate in the presidential debates (Rasmussen has him at 8-11% as a third party candidate depending on the republican and democrat candidates).
Tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people would show up on the march on Washington. People want a third party candidate. There is no Bloomberg.

I know Paul seemingly ruled it out here on February 08, 2008. But he wasn't so definitive two days ago on Neil Cavuto's show on Fox News when asked about an independent run. Maybe he allowed himself some wiggle room? Like how he only ruled out a third party run but said nothing about an independent run?



Still thinks that he has a chance at hte nomination, even thoguh in two days McCain will have it wrapped up mathematically.

I think he should wait for the state convention reports to start coming in in April to see if there is still hope we can pull off the nomination.



this moron still thinks there is a chance to steal the nomination...again, even though by Tuesday, McCain will have the majority needed just with BOUND delegates. Ones that MUST go with the voters. (Plus, the fact that they think that EVERY single unbound delegate, including the 3 from each state, are apparently going to vote against McCain. Again....riiiiight.)

Oh boyTHis has been chewed over SO many times.

No, no and NO.
We are fighting until the convention. We are training delegates to flood the GOP precinct, congressional and national conventions.
Ron Paul's campaign already has it's head up it's ass, but this would be the ultimately stupid a move. jesus christ you people with your independent third party junk



And did you know that Congress is not going to exist in 2 years? Yup...feelgood says so...

Aggravating as hell, isnt it?
Third party/indy run = moot point and a stupid move. Its not going to happen.
Defending House seat = moot point and he should have resigned. In two years Congress wont even exist...
I honestly just dont know what it takes to get you people to wake up to the reality of things.



And finally...this guy overestimates the number of votes Ron Paul has received, and then HILARIOUS thinks that every single one of them is going to donate $20 a month to his camapign to give him almost $100 million by the convention. These people are truly said. I can't imagine what will happen in November when it finally sinks in how delusional they have been.

I was thinking that we should contact all the voters that voted for Paul up to now and agree on having a secret money bomb. I calculated that almost 700,000 have either voted for him in the primaries or caucused for him. If all of them would donate even only $20 each month(giving a total of almost $14 million per month considering those that already voted) until the convention, Paul would have $98 million for a possible independent run. If a person wants to donate more than the $20 I proposed, so be it but I think we can do it. And after other voters had already voted for Paul in the remaining states, contact them. Of course, we should focus on trying to get the Rep nomination but I think something like this would be just awesome. Keep Paul in the spotlight, we do the other stuff. By the way, I wanted to vote for Paul in FL as I registered as a Republican weeks before Christmas but never got my ballot. I'm an ex-pat and I don't know if other ex-pats have had similar problems. Anyways, try to contact all the ex-pats because maybe some didn't receive their ballots or received a Dem ballot. FOR THE LONG HAUL!!
