The Right Politician

[hermannr]

1911, People like you are the reason that Ron Paul, and others like him, don't win. This is because people like you listen to the media when they tell you he can't win, and believe them.....and the Republican party tells them that he can't win, because they do not want him to win.

The replublocrats do not want limits to what they can do, they do not want limited government...it would cut into their power and influence (if not their personal income.)

What do you hear from the "regular" politicos? Look what I got you, and it didn't cost you anything extra....no? I brought home the "bacon" and it is free to you...It was paid for by the people that are "rich" and the greedy corporations. (The definition of "rich" used is: "anyone that makes more money than you do". Long gone (and deceased 1989) WA US Senator Warren Magnuson (1944-1981) was exceptionally good at that game.

Business as usual candidates...ok, but don't cry when the country falls on it's face, and you have no rights left. You know the credit crunch? You ain't seen nothing yet.

I don't know the point you are trying to make, but the other posters below my last comment have it right. If we are going to change America's politics then we have to start with the people we vote in office. If everybody truly knew who Ron Paul was, and what he was about; AND voted then he would have NO problem getting into office. I just won't be a part of putting someone in office that slowly destroys our constitution. I'm sorry if he doesn't get elected but that's how I feel. (Random) I bet the founders of this forum vote Ron Paul for president.

I know lots of people that loved Ron Paul, both on the fake left and fake right, but they were afraid that he wouldn't win and the party they didn't like the most would win. I have never voted in my life, but I think I am going to register and vote purely libertarian. I don't really believe in party politics but it is a party (or a libertarian running under the R name) that will make changes.

Hermann in is post above mine covered what I meant a little more eloquently in the above post.

I have voted in every election since I became a US citizen in 1970. Mostly vote libertarian, sometime republican...depends on the person. Way back, first time Ron ran, I got myself elected to the state republican convention...got my precinct caucaus to go along and nominate Ron, did not go beyond there because as you know Ron was not nominated by WA.

That was Hamburg precinct in Skagit County, if none of you think Ron can take the west side.

I agree with you on the voting Libertarian. I just can't stand for what republicans have become in this day and age. Like I said Ron Paul has been preaching this all along, but most of America is only just now waking up to it after the Country goes through economic crisis. Brought on by politicians and the F E D. I love that RP has not changed his views to any significant degree over the last 20+ years. His son is also a must have in congress. Maybe we need to elect the whole Paul family..?

Like I said, run someone who is both worth electing, and electable, and dont split the votes by running half a dozen people.

Ron Paul and several other republicans ran for President. He lost the primary and another "republican" won the primary and went on to the general. Ron Paul was not in the general election. How was this "splitting the vote"?

I wasnt referring to any specific election.

Not voting for someone because you don't think they can win is almost a self-fulfilling prophecy, you know - if everyone thinks that a candidate cannot win, no one will vote for him - thus, he does not win.

I do not vote by party. I vote by person - for the person whose ideals and policies most closely match my own in the ways that matter most to me. I can sleep at night knowing I voted my conscience.

Either Ron or Rand will run in 2012. Whichever it is, he will be vilified by the media, I expect.

I would prefer that no one would be allowed to claim a party name.

Of course when they tried this on a local level.....it was suddenly stopped....why does the fake liberal party feel "minorities" are too dumb to choose politicians based on view points or to pass tests to be cops?

Not to mention what authority do the the feds to step in and make any ruling on this.
