Digging4Truth 03-13-2007 02:54 PM

I am going to send in a form to change my party affiliation so I can vote for him as teh Repub candidate.

Eliseus 03-13-2007 03:00 PM

Here it is!

Yes, D4T, I will register as a Republican to put this man into office.

I pray that the entire Constitution PArty comes on board for this one. It's the only way.

All 3rd parties need to lay down their differences and come on over and get this man through.

It is time to combine powers and get somebody in there that will remember the Constitution.

He has raised over 1/2 million in the short amount of time that he has had his exploratory website up. The people are jumping on this one.

I haven't donated yet... I just learned about the website... but I will be donating for sure and I have never donated to a political party or candidate in my entire life.

Most republicans will vote for someone they think is a mainstreamer....look at CC1. That's just how they are. It's like people who buy only name brand medications instead of generics...even though they aren't getting something better, they think they are because it's "name brand"

Totally agree with you here, Digging! I will support him financially. I have never wanted to do that before either.

BTW, don't beat me - BUT - I don't think he can win. Nonetheless, I'm going to financially support him and when it gets down to the wire I'm not sure I will vote for him.

Should I leave now? lol!

Why would you give him financial support IF you don't plan to vote for him???

Because I would like for him to win and I trust him. He isn't going to win, but I respect him so much as a person that I would help his campaign. If he pulls it off and comes out in front I will vote for him.

What I can't do is let Hillary have my vote if it's between the Republicans and the Democrats, which it has always been and I don't see that changing in 2008.

So, you're going to commit the sin of gambling by voting for the person you think is going to win?

Thad 03-13-2007 04:18 PM

I'm interested in hearing what he has to say .

BUT!!! remember this !!!
If a large group of republicans jumped on board and voted for him,
that's a automatic shoe in for Ms Hillary.
at Least guiliani will elect conservative judges

You presume she's going to get the Democrat nomination.

Don't be too sure about that. Even if he did, that doesn't mean they're going to be judges that follow the Constitution. Ronald Reagan appointed Sandra Day O'Connor and she turned out to be one of the worst internationalists ever. She even went so far as to say the Court should look not only to the laws of other countries but even to world opinion in order to interpret our Constitution (even though there is nothing in Article III of the Constitution that even gives the Court the authority to interpret the Constitution).

Very true, Chancellor and an excellent point!

Right now this is just a run for the candidacy. If he wins the republican candidacy then republicans will vote for republicans just like republicans have always voted for republicans.

As a matter of fact a lot of 3rd party people are switching their party affiliation to help get Ron Paul in.

When a good candidate ever gets in it will be over the dead bodies of all of the speculators and naysayers who constantly deluge us with their predictions of doom and gloom.

He is the most "republican" republican to run in a long time.

Digging4Truth 03-13-2007 04:45 PM

The quote keeps coming to mind...

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

The only thing that can beat us is our own feelings of self defeat

No ma'am.... you shouldn't leave... but you should get over the defeatist position you hold.

This country is ready for a return to the Constitution.

Ron Paul is running....into the ditch.

We are all aware of you solidly made up mind Ferd... Thanks for the reminder.

CC1 03-13-2007 09:44 PM

If any of you think Ron Paul has a chance of getting anywhere in his Presidential bid you are smoking crack cocaine or incredibly naive when it comes to politics.

He not only cannot win he will not get but a percentage or two of the vote if he runs as a third party canidate. Probably just enough to insure the Republican loses to the Democrat as the crazy midget Ross Perot did in 1992.

Eliseus 03-13-2007 10:08 PM

CC1, Ron is running for REPUBLICAN nominee for President.

berkeley 03-13-2007 10:10 PM

I recently re-registered as a Democrat.

Eliseus 03-13-2007 10:17 PM

Traitor!!!!!

That makes things simple then since he won't get anywhere. If you look up the term "fringe canidate" in the unabridged dictionary there is a color picture of him!!!!!!!!!!!!11:killinme

Eliseus 03-13-2007 10:52 PM

Well, CC and Ferd will support the good ole boy network, while the rest of us will support Ron Paul.

I spoke to two people just this afternoon, telling them Ron Paul is running, it's official.

They both said they will now register and vote for him.

One of those people has NEVER voted, and the other hasn't voted since Reagan ran against Carter.

Just because Ron Paul is running for President...

Eliseus 03-13-2007 10:54 PM

Correction - I think it was the Reagan-Mondale election, not Reagan-Carter...

If you vote based on who has the better chance of getting elected, you are committing the sin of gambling. You might as well just go place a bet on the Kentucky Derby.

Political parties and candidates become viable (have a chance of getting anywhere) when people VOTE for them.

Of coruse, it isn't about who has the best chance of winning, it's about voting based on which candidate or party best fits one's political values.

Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same, unconstitutional, big government coin.

Loosing on principle is the same thing as loosing.

Thus continues the constant negative spew...

Is it alright with you that we view Ron Paul as our candidate?

It is alright with you if this is our opinion?

Can you allow someone to have their opinion without having to constantly tolerate you continual spew of condescending verbage?

Just look at the behavior of both parties in Congress since the late 1990s.

Yes, the principle is loosing - loosing the government from its bondage to ever-increasing budgets, programs and interference in the lives of the citizenry.

I have to know where the candiate stands in regards to abortion and gay rights. If they support either one I can NOT vote for them!

Can you support them if they are staunchly pro-life and yet recognize that the regulation of the issue of abortion is not an authority granted to the federal governement and should be handled on the state level and will, therefore, stand by the constitution and leave these decisions to the states?

Well, that leaves out the Republicans (except for Ron Paul) and the Democrats.

Spew? LOL! yet another example of someone getting indignant when someone disagrees.

D4T, you have my permission to think what ever you want. do you feel better now?

I will support them IF they support prolife for young and old and do not support special right for gays.

The things that are an abomination to God, how can I vote for that person in good conscience?

I can't.

Then perhaps you should consider the Constitution Party.
