(ThyBlackMan.com) “I would also say of Ron Paul – he doesn’t need to win. In his view he is winning already. This is an ideological point he is making. But here’s why it’s electorally significant – a lot of people, I mean 41 percent in Virginia, only two people on the ballot, still a lot of people voted for Ron Paul. A lot of those voters are portable. They’re not Republican – they’re not dedicated Republican voters.” – Tucker Carlson, Editor, The Daily Caller
It is time for a groundswell of Ron Paul supporters to quietly, respectfully but firmly make their position clear to the mainstream media and the GOP establishment. Simply put, “No Paul on the ticket means no vote for the GOP in November.”
The Ron Paul Campaign has the GOP establishment stuck between a rock and a hard place even though they have not won a single state in the primaries to date. Every Paul supporter knows the underhanded tactics used by the Republican leadership at the state and national level as well as the organized smear and news blackout campaign carried out by the mainstream media.
Making Nice For the November Election
As we move into the last months of the GOP presidential nomination campaign, most of the establishment media are now “making nice” with Ron Paul and his supporters. The American electoral process is a complicated one that you can learn more about with a political science or history degree. He actually gets questions during the debates, some press coverage and the other candidates seem friendly. The reason is simple. The Republican Party desperately needs the votes of Ron Paul supporters in order to win in November against Obama.
Obviously, Virginia Heffernan didn’t get the memo in her typical anti-Paul elitist drivel titled Ron Paul’s Pointless Internet Presidency posted on Yahoo earlier in the week but now this is the exception rather than standard procedure for the press. The word has gone out to be nice and respectful to Ron Paul so they can get our votes in November.
Too Little Too Late
The Republican establishment has obviously done its homework with focus groups, polling, etc. and here is their situation. Although they have successfully held back the Ron Paul campaign to date from threatening to win the GOP presidential nomination, in the dirty tricks process they have ostracized the substantial Paul voting constituency even more from the GOP than before.
Paul supporters are far more than portable as suggested by Tucker Carlson; rather they are toxic toward the GOP elites and very few will now support any of the establishment candidates after the abusive treatment given to Ron Paul as well as the crude attacks against Paul supporters.
I well understand these feelings of resentment, as I am a Ron Paul supporter. There is no way I will vote for either Romney, Santorum or Gingrich, although I certainly prefer their fake rhetoric to the Obama propaganda. If Ron Paul isn’t the Republican nominee for president, then the establishment nominee desperately needs the votes of his supporters in order to beat Obama in the fall general election.
Finish story over at; TheDailyBell – No Paul – No-Vote, etc.
free your mind and the rest will follow
Dr Ron Army …… Dr Ron Coalition
I registered with the republican party to vote for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and have voted along party lines in every presidential election since then. No more. In 2012, I’m voting for Ron Paul.
It is clear that the GOP has pulled all the stops to make sure the Ron Paul cannot get the nomination. So be it. The GOP won’t win the general election without Ron Paul’s supporters, so I guess it’s another four years of Obama. This doesn’t bother me so much because Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich all receive their marching orders from the same unethical cartel of elitist international bankers. Life will not be any different with any of them in office.
The GOP is a disgrace and I’m embarrassed to be a part of it. Good riddance.
I think Ron Paul needs to explain to the people what he would do instead of the Federal Reserve, instead of DEA, instead of IRS, instead of EPA, etc. I totally agree that the Federal Government is way to big and needs to be downsized and gotten out of the Running Our Lives Business but Dr. Paul needs to provide some vision of what will replace them, where those people will now work, etc. I know it’ll work itself out but he needs to show that to people who might be imagining chaos and anarchy. I think that would help a lot of people who are on the fence or “not sold” on Ron Paul, change their thoughts about fixing America’a government.
Nicely done. People who support Ron Paul recognize that Romney, Santorum and Newt are essentially the same as Obama pushing a big, global government agenda. Once a person see this system for what it is, there is no choice but to vote for Ron Paul and in the event that he isn’t the nominee, we must demand a third-party run and failing that, his name must be written in by hand.
how about a write in? is that so impossible? seems he’ll get the biggest write in in history if he cannot make the ticket?
I like the article until you came to your conclusion. I can not in good conscience vote for Romney/Santorum/Newt even if they had a Paul on their ticket as VP, if either of the Paul’s would even except such an offer I would loss all respect for them. Neither will I sit at home and do NOTHING while MY country heads for destruction by not voting at all. I will either write Ron Paul in or vote third party. If Ron Paul doesn’t win the GOP nomination I hope and pray he runs independent. Last time he didn’t run independent but supported the Constitution Party candidate, unfortunately Paul’s supporters where too divided on issues to all get behind the CP and instead wrote Paul’s name in (Which in a lot of states doesn’t get counted) or voted for a different third party. This time around if Paul doesn’t win lets try sticking together and uniting on the same ticket. If we unite behind Paul (or the candidate he supports) we CAN defeat the two evil parties that currently dominate us!
I will never vote for Santorum, Newt or Romney its Ron Paul or you all can have 4 more years of Obama…
Ron Paul 2012!
