I'm not giving up yet, until someone else actually gets sworn in the fight is still on, if for nothing else than to pave the road for the Ron Paul Republicans who will be running in the future.

we look at who remains and is viable and we take the least distasteful of that group..

we've had this discussion. I'm done with voting for the lesser of two evils, that's how we got in this mess in the first place. It's Paul or bust for me...

Imho you Americans should not give up your vote on Ron Paul because he "has no chance anyway". Vote for him and make an statement for upcoming years.

if paul were president the only way he could cut spending would be to veto the spending bills, and congress could override the veto with enough votes.

this country needs line item veto and term limits.

Ya, I never really got that kind of thinking.

so what are you gonna do? write in ron paul even if he says not to?

It is better than not voting at all but not much. It doesn't help billary or osamabama any more than not voting at all but it helps them way better than not using your vote on the republican.

I'll vote for him regardless of what ticket he's on, and if he's not on anyone's ticket I'll either write him in, vote Libertarian, or not bother voting.

helping or hurting hillobama isn't on my agenda. sure, Hillary scares me, but not necessarily any more than McCain does. They're all big-government hacks who are willing to trample the Constitution to further their agendas. I can't support that, never will.

"Well there you go, there's a powerhouse candidate for you"
There's a bandwagon argument for ya... And what does she call the highest fundraising of all gop candidates?

What a bunch of crap.. The right stance on issues is which ever most people agree with.

don't think she was jumping on the bandwagon, that comment was dripping with sarcasm... They'll be changing their tunes after Hillary gets elected.

The American Conservative magazine endorses Ron Paul

Quote

He is the one candidate who sees how the realities of world power have shifted since the 1990s, the one who recognizes that the time of unilateral American hegemony is over—and can’t be maintained even if it was in our interest to do so. He alone understands that the ever expanding federal government is a far greater threat to American liberty than some tinpot dictator in the Caucasus.

On another note, I'm noticing a trend of conservatives who agree with Paul on most issues, but not on foreign policy.

To them: (from this thread):

Quote

if fear of the Islamo-terrorists forces Republicans to vote for a nanny state, pro-abortion, pro-illegal alien, anti-gun right candidate...then they’ve won the war...

Quote

what is a foreign victory if we have no more country to be proud of.

I think Ron Paul has some damned good theory going on. He might even get us into a position to save ourselves.

If McCain does not make the general election I will write in Ron Paul.
