What if Ron Paul does not get the Republican nominee?

[RANA]

I am just asking question this is not to piss anyone off. I know there are a lot of Ron Paul supporters here. My question is, if Ron Paul does not get the Republican nominee who would be the next in line for your vote? Plus are you a registered Democrat or Republican?

The reality of the situation is that Paul is not doing anywhere near as well as Ross Perot did in 1992, and we all know who won that race.

[Tock]

I vote for whoever I think is the best candidate, even if he's not leading in the polls.

Screw what the newspapers/TV/pundits say. They don't report the news impartially.
They're employees of multi-national corporations who have a vested interest in who gets elected, so screw 'em, their opinion, and the horse they rode in on.

If my candidate doesn't get elected, then I'm happy to go along with whoever did -- as long as there was no funnybusiness involved . . .

I agree, I was just curious on what other people in here are going with.

At the moment, I would vote for McCain. This will piss of some of my conservative brethren, but I think that he and a conservative Vice-President can defeat the Clinton machine by pulling alot of the Independent vote to the Right. Right now, it is all about keeping the Socialists out of the Oval office.

7 years ago I would have loved to have in office. But his stance on illegal immigration has totally pissed me off. I love and respect him for his service to our country when he was in the military but some of the things he has done lately have really ticked me off.

[soccer#3]

i'd love to see him run as a liberitarian but he has said he wouldnt do that because the system is so biased. but i think by the time the general elections takes place he will have reached more people about his message.

hillary and obama is just as bad as mccain and romney imo. if hillary gets elected which i think she will, its important to keep in mind that since 1992 we have only had bush's and clinton's in office. thats 16 yrs and if hillary goes for 2 terms that would be 24 yrs. am i the only one who thinks that strange

I agree, his amnesty bill was wayyyyy off target. But with a Conservative running mate and his statements that his bill was the wrong direction, I am willing to cast my vote for him.

I think there are too many people that dislike her more than like her.

i forgot to include bush sr

But he still has not backed off Amnesty with those damn Z visa's

If Paul or any other viable candidate runs on a third party ticket, the only affect it will have is to give the White House to the Dems. History does repeat itself, and this is exactly how Bill Clinton got into office in 1992 (thanks to Perot)..........

well, who's got your vote?

i cant really tell but i think bush has messed it up too much for another republican to get elected. i think the democrats will win it this term and it looks like hillary

[RANA]

Romney, I would have loved to see Hunter in the run

i agree, it would take even a bigger miracle for him to win as a third party. i just want him in the general elections, i dont wanna give up.

Hunter, I liked.

[SMCengineer]

I guess Mccain, but I really wouldn't want to. I think it would be interesting to see if Bloomberg runs. That guys got something like $11 billion so it wouldn't be hard for him to get a lot of media attention (especially considering he owns an outlet) and sway a lot of votes.

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

Al Gore!

Ron Paul

Edwards possibly

ev1 else can pretty much jump off a cliff anywho.


then again, they r all crooked. all in it for the money/power. like they actually give 2 shits about any one of us...hhhhmmmm..politics these days

i'd vote for bloomberg if he ran as independent and if ron paul didnt make it

Rana, doesn't Romney support Universal Healtcare?

[RANA]

Rana, doesn't Romney support Universal Healtcare?

Not like the Hillarycare plan that failed and not run by the gov't. That last thing we need is more gov't in our shit. I know when he was in Boston he lead a program, which he signed into law a couple of years ago, includes a requirement that everyone in Massachusetts get some form of health insurance. If they don't, they face a series of increasing tax penalties.

[Logan13]

Rana, doesn't Romney support Universal Healtcare?

He supports tax rebates that would be used by citizens to purchase their own healthcare, keeping gov't out of your decision making(the way it is supposed to be).

[StoneGRMI]

He won't get the nominee but he'll be running independent anyway.

[Atomini]

He won't get the nominee but he'll be running independent anyway.

Is this a fact? I heard him say once that he wasn't going to run independent.

[Pooks]

1.McCain - war-hero, plus i was on his bandwagon in 2000, I see him slowly picking up the fight against the deficit too.

2. Romney - he was bred to lead govern, or lead a nation.. His father was a governor, Mit ran a bunch of corporations (started up Staples).. He rescued the Winter Olympics in Utah, that was running over budget when he got hired.. He was governor of Massachusetts..

[RA]

Yeah, Im liking Romney more and more. I would have liked Thompson but he looks like hes not going anywhere.

No, it's not a fact. Just something that I believe. He can't come out and say that he'll run as an independent now unless he drops out of the republican race because it will hurt his campaign. His supporters want to see him fight it out as long as possible so he can propel his name out there longer and THEN when all hope is lost he'll declare himself independent on the ballot. If he were to declare now he wouldn't be invited to debates, his name would be off all ballots and his campaign would come to a halt for a few months.

Good answer

[SMCengineer]

Makes sense. I was just surprised when I heard that he was in favor of governement sponsored healthcare. I think there is someone else in the republican party who favors it as well, but I'm not sure who.
