The Third ManPosted Thursday, September 11, 2008, at 9:42 AM
I just heard, with grave concern, that Ron Paul may be heading up an Independent run before November. I've just fired off a message to the Ron Paul headquarters in Boise, to contact the main campaign itself and try to get this STOPPED!
Ron Paul is CLEARLY the best man for the Presidency, but at this point, all he would do is absorb Republican votes, which would give Obama the keys to the White House. The liberal media did its usual superb job of keeping GOOD candidates squelched throughout this past year, so there is no reason to believe that Ron could mount any kind of assault with just 55 days left. I wrote a couple of paragraphs on this, in my most recent letter to the Editor of the Mountain Home News, which we'll probably see next week. But right now..........for any Ron Paul supporters who might be reading this blog, please listen: We all worked hard to get Ron into the race. We believe in him, and that THIS is the kind of man we need in the White House. But the race is too close now, to blow any "statement" votes. A month ago, I'd have said "go for it", but with Sarah Palin on the ticket now, we actually have somebody with some substance in this race. For Ron to win now, he'd have to get practically ALL of the Republicans behind him and/or at least half of the Democrats, which ISN'T going to happen because with VERY FEW exceptions, Democrats are trained to vote only for other Democrats. If Charles Manson was running for office and had a (D) after his name, he's get a lot of support.................."yeah, he's one of US" A great number of Republicans however, tend to vote their conscience, not their party. I myself voted for Cecil Andrus everytime he ran for governor, and I've supported Joe McNeal anytime he's ever ran for ANYTHING. Sometimes, the "other guy" or the 3rd party candidate is BETTER on your issues than "your" guy is. If Ron Paul runs as the 3rd Man, he will pull badly needed Palin votes..........because Ron is good. He's the best one out there and too many people know it. They will vote for him, hoping some miracle will happen at this point. If you're an ardent Ron Paul supporter as I am, PLEASE PUT IT ASIDE!!! He IS the best choice, but it ain't gonna happen. As long as the media exists, NO decent candidate is going to get enough coverage to give the public a fair choice. We've got 55 days to go. McCain is almost as worthless as Obama is, but he at LEAST has someone GOOD on his ticket, where Obama does not. The Democrats have nothing on that ticket but charm, personality and propaganda. Think country............not "statement." For the sake of ourselves, our kids and grandkids, it is more important to DENY Obama the White House, than to shake our fists, supporting a man who SHOULD be President, but won't be. You don't need to be a math major to figure it out. It's disgraceful what the media has done, and NOBODY....I mean NOBODY detests this old "lesser of two evils" crap more than ME. Palin can do us some good, but not unless we get her into position. A month ago, it didn't matter much. McCain against Obama............little difference. Biden was no surprise, just another anti-gun tax & spend liberal. Sarah Palin joining MCain's ticket, however, WAS a surprise, and being a "heartbeat away" as they say, that COULD come into play, given McCain's age and health issues. We "Paul" people SHOULD support a ticket that has at least ONE good one on it............and Ron isn't going anywhere..............not with November rolling up on us like a state cop. We've already made our "statement" in the primaries. Most Americans are still too "family-heritage-programmed" to think for themselves, when CNN can do it better, eh? Guys and gals...........America first...........PALIN. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] |

Hey there, don't drink that "Palin Kool-Aid" too quick... ya might choke on it! Gov. Palin is a schill and we all know it. One can NOT serve two masters, and trust me Palin is gonna do whatever she's TOLD to do by McCain and the neocons... because she IS a neocon. TRUE supporters of Ron Paul will NOT rollover and compromise their respect for the U.S. Constitution by voting for McCain and Palin. You're being fooled, and what's worse, you're trying to get everybody else to believe the lie that you so blindly believe. Wake Up! Palin will be every bit as effective as Dan Quayle!
My 2 cents:
If the naive American public wants another passive government then they should go ahead and vote in OBAMA. Let's see what happened last time a passive leader was in the white house:
Jun 96 Khobar towers, 19 servicemen lost their lives. Oct 2000, USS Cole, 17 servicemen lost their lives. How did our leader react? By pointing his finger at the TV and saying "I did not have relations with that woman." We were told that Bin Laden and al Qeada were no threat. We had Bin Laden's head on a platter 2 times but decided to let him go. And what ultimately happened: September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, best friends were the victims hate for America and our way of life.
Do people really think that Obama will do anything in retaliation, God forbid, anything happens? I really don't think so. IF somebody wants to poke us in the eye or give us a gut shot like 9/11, we should come out swinging!! "Dialogue" in this day and age will only get more people hurt.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to spew negativity or hate. I'm just trying to spew "Wake-up, America!!" We don't need another 9/11 to come together. And we don't need another leader in the White House playing with cigars, so to speak.
Good ol' Ronnie. Anyone remember Colonel Gaddafi before this week?...Didn't Think so…
Yeah...Gaddafi was a pretty mild mannered little boy from then on, wasn't he?
And "BoyWhoLived".....whatever Palin IS or ISN'T might remain to be seen, true enough, but given the alternative........
For the record, I've said it all along, both in my blogs, the Mountain Home News and the Idaho Statesman....Ron Paul IS the man to lead this nation, but outside of a miracle, it won't happen this time around.
Jim Bowie told Travis they would be slaughtered if they stayed at the Alamo. 230 against 7,000 wasn't exactly Las Vegas odds. But they stayed, and ok, they are immortalized today in story and song. They went down with their flag flying, but they STILL went down.
I understand where you're coming from, though. I had big magnetic Ron Paul signs on my old Bug, put up countless roadsigns, tracted the neighborhood, handed out "slim jims" all over town. I too, believe in Ron Paul, but I also have to think about our country first. And if Paul or someone like him runs again in 2012, I want there to be something LEFT to be President OF.
This election year turns my stomach. I don't slight ANYONE for standing by their principles, but when I look at the prospect of an Obama Presidency..................
I don't think Palin is gonna be "told what to do." She reminds me of my wife in many ways.......sweet little gal in a dress or blue jeans, but don't get up in her face and start anything, bucko!
She has just as much experience as Obama, and is the only one on EITHER ticket with EXECUTIVE experience, AND....... she's not already a "product" of Washington, which to me, is a plus.
Oh you bet, there are a LOT of those old "seasoned" crocks back there with 30 and 40 years of political "experience." And just what have they been doing for us all this time, besides lining their own pockets and taking vacations? We could USE some "fresh air" back there.
Obama is right about ONE thing........we DO need change, but he ain't IT!
As for "rolling over and comprimising respect for the Constitution"?............dude, we're not going to HAVE a Constitution if Obama makes it to the White House. Our Constitution is ALREADY being picked apart and chisled into by the bills the Democrats are ALREADY trying to push through. With Congress in hand, all they need is some idiot in the Oval Office with the "magic pen" to sign off on whatever they want. If there was ever a SCHILL.........
With all the "experience" the Dems have, why do you suppose they've been pushing this kid to the front?
Because he's young, flashy, smooth talker, appeals to a lot of young voters. Whatever it take to win, and if he does, he'll be a puppet. He'll HAVE to obey the Feinsteins, Bloombergs and Bidens, because he really won't know what else to do. If you HAVE to have a newcomer on the ticket, let it BE the Vice President. That way at least, he can't screw up anything MAJOR while he's learning, and will be better equipped to take over later, if he has to.
Our President should also be a real American, on the inside as well as the outside. I don't like McCain, but I'll give him that much.
