quote: ORIGINAL: MasterDoc1 Icarys says: The republicans won't have a choice if they don't back Paul. I agree Icarys, which is why I would bet on Obama these days. Either the republicans nominate Paul (and they win) or they nominate anyone else. If they nominate anyone else, Gary Johnson runs as a libertarian, gets many of the disaffected Paul supporters and hands the election to Obama. Since I don't think the republicans will nominate Paul that means a win for Obama. I know Paul is organized in the caucus states but which states do you think he will win, Icarys? I am CERTAIN Paul WON"T go third party; hes been there done that, knows the deck is stacked to make it IMPOSSIBLE to win and is too old to make gestures (and make enemies that his son will have to live with down the road). Doc 1, but who's going to actually vote for Oblunder, the Seniors? The Veterans? The Independents? The Gun owners? Unemployed young people? At this point many on the left no longer like him. He'll get the teacher's Unions and some on the left. I voted saturday here in Myrtle Beach, SC in the republican primary for Ron Paul and you know who I saw there? BLACK PEOPLE! At the REPUBLICAN primary! You never see that here. This is shaping up to be a "Nixon vs Mc Carthy" election. And just wait 'till they start asking "the question;" "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" This guy has been a disaster. It's like watching a drunk walking down the sidewalk with his shoes untied.

I was glancing down thru the thread to see if anyone had made this point. After Mar 3rd, I think, each state is winner-take all. Which may make Super Tuesday decisive?

Not all of us, MM, not by a long shot.

Government funding of candidates freezes the status quo.

truckinslave -> RE: The possibility that the GOP does NOT want to face. (1/23/2012 10:27:17 AM)
Yeah, it's just an awful idea. Either the government gets total control of who is even allowed to run, or the lamestreams completely control the process by dint of free/favorable coverage. SCOTUS got it right: money is speech, and the more the merrier.

Icarys -> RE: The possibility that the GOP does NOT want to face. (1/23/2012 11:45:39 AM)
That's the traditional party line. I don't agree however that just anyone will do. The status quo neocons are as equally as bad. Look where they get their money from. Do people really think they give that much money without expecting something in return. A vote for them IS a vote for Obama.

Popeye: at this point in the polls Obama (despite all his failures) is beating Gingrich and Santorum in polls. Tied with Paul and Romney. SOMEONE must consider him OK

MasterDoc1 -> RE: The possibility that the GOP does NOT want to face. (1/23/2012 2:14:19 PM)
Obama, Gingrich, Romney and Santorum are all tools of the corporate welfare machine and the military-industrial complex. All want to steal from the poor and middle class to give to the rich. Only Paul stands against the entrenched powers that are bleeding the people of this country dry.
