If Ron Paul ran third party it would guarantee and Obama reelection and sadly send us down a path of Socialism and Tyranny. All of the freedoms and liberties Paul supporters favor could be harmed with Obama in for a second term. A couple of questions for you Paul supporters on a possible third party run: 1) Do you think Ron Paul's safety would be in jeopardy if he ran third party? 2) Do you believe conservatives would do nothing and allow for an easy reelection for Obama? 3) Can you accept the fact that something awful could happen to Ron Paul if he ran third party? I know some of you will be angry reading this but this is possible. I've heard people on talk radio say that they will do everything in their power legally and maybe illegally to stop Paul. Paul supporters are always promoting "Principles" over "Party." That's fine. But doesn't a Proud American have the right to do whatever they have to do to prevent this country from being ruined from another term of Obama? You would be naive to think that no one will make an attempt to stop Paul from running third party. I've heard some say they will do everything to go against Rand Paul when his reelection comes up. That's weak -- Paulbots don't give a crap about Rand Paul's political survival. If Paul runs third party and his safety becomes an issue, what are you going to do about it?
They've already been harmed. Aside from the harm done in the last 150 years, GW Bush spent 8 years positively wrecking what liberty was left in the nation, and Obama has just followed in his footsteps. There's no good reason to believe that one of the drones that the GOP is pushing will not do the same or worse.
Strange... Yet another post coming from the guy who says Anyway, I don't think the run would be dangerous for him. If they wanted to prevent Obama from winning the presidency, why wouldn't they assassinate him instead of Paul? Doesn't make sense unless they're really stupid.
His safety is in danger even without running as a third party. He is advocating firing thousands of workers from the illegal departments/agencies, disrupting the establishment and legalizing weed which will lower the cartels' power and money. That will make quite a few people angry at him. I know this is going to be bad to say but if he does get killed he would become a martyr for freedom.
What exactly do you think the Republicans did? The bank bailouts started under George Bush. The Patriot Act and the NDAA were passed by Republicans. Who exactly do you think you're fooling here? Have you seriously fell for this or are you just playing the role of propagandist for the GOP? They are one in the same! You mean like.... Obama might support measures to spy on American citizens or indefinitely detain them without due process with the military? Well, we can't let that happen! We need a Republican in office like McCain or Graham to defend our liberties against the evil Democratic Statists! Oh... wait... McCain and Graham championed the NDAA and we're now all at risk of being carted off to Cuba by the U.S. military without a lawyer or a day in court.... I think his life will be put in jeopardy if he gets the Republican nomination. I think his life is in jeopardy now. They already are by forcing the likes of Romney and Santorum over Ron Paul who has a clear advantage with the youth, independents, and civil liberty minded, anti war Democrats. More fear mongering. Are you trying to shame us into supporting your establishment schill now? The Founders would have been executed by the crown if they were caught by the British. Would you have advised them not to meet in Philadelphia? Ron Paul is willing to risk his life for what he believes in. If someone assassinated Ron Paul it would set off a chain reaction that will bring us in any number of directions. I hope for Paul's safety but it won't stop me from supporting his valiant efforts to restore American liberty. Godspeed, Doctor Paul!
So Ron Paul is the only one risking his life running for what he believes in? Look, I'm not trying to force you people to do anything. I want a one on one election between Obama and the GOP candidate. For God's sake the media is already in favor of Obama, there's a huge advantage. Does he need another advantage by Paul running third party? I like many other conservatives have put so much darn time in on learning about who Obama really is, reading conservatives books, pumping myself up for this election. I will NOT sit back and allow for an easy reelection bid for Obama. This also goes if Trump decides to run third party. I'm so sick and tired of people acting like Ron Paul is the only man that can save this country. We have wonderful people in congress on the GOP side: Paul Ryan, Rubio, West, Steve King, Peter King, Bachmann, Issa, and many others. I firmly believe that any GOP candidate will be able to get this country back on the right track with a GOP House/Senate. If Ron Paul wins the GOP nomination I will support him 100%. If Ron Paul decides to run third party I will do everything I can to stop him. Is that a threat? Hell yes that's a threat. I'm not going to let 4 years of hard work go down the drain because of Ron Paul.
First off, Ron Paul is not in any dire danger and won't be in anymore danger if he runs third party. If people want to stop Obama from winning, they would do something to Obama. Would you support Rick Santorum? If Santorum were to win the nomination, I would do everything in my power to not let him win. How do you plan to stop Ron Paul if he runs 3rd party? If Republicans spent half the energy on trying to get Obama out of office as they are trying to prevent Paul from winning the nomination, they wouldn't even have to worry about Obama getting re-elected.
So how are you going to stop him? You can't do anything but vote for Romney which you want to do anyway. We're not voting for Romney, we're voting for Paul. Nominate Paul or lose the election - that's your only choice.
What if Romney went third party? What would you do? You seem awfully concerned about what Paul is going to do, but you wont support him.
After 8 years of Bush, which few have forgotten, none of the current GOP lineup, except Ron Paul, has a chance of beating Obama.
Then get ready for another four years of Obama because Paul hasn't a chance of gaining the nomination.
I think Ron Paul would take away a comparable amount of votes from Obama. Many disaffected liberals and Democrats would gravitate towards his message, independents especially.
These Paulbots won't do a darn thing to stop him from running as a third wheel, for their foolish pride prevents them from doing so. But I'm with you OP....I think someone might just take him out if he were to enact that suicidal option.
Someone wouldn't take out Ron Paul - don't be ridiculous. If they wanted Obama out, they would take him out instead.
