Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How Ron Paul was cheated out of the Presidency

I don't believe they do but they can speak for themselves on that subject.

Simple.

There was someone else on the ballot.

Democrats and Republicans both hate him.

Bristoe is right about having a party approved candidate. It gets more obvious on more local levels where the big wigs with the political parties are less slick and polished than the ones in the national party elections.

That is where the term RINO came from.

I have been trying to send a message to the RNC since George Bush the I stated "Read my lips . . . no new taxes!" I voted for Ross Perot. In the primaries I voted for Pat Buchanan every time he ran and for Ron Paul, every time he ran. Other than 1994, I have held my nose and voted R in the big enchilada. I have never voted for a D.

The media can certainly influence the choices people make, that's a given.

I'm afraid to get the guy we need - the right guy, it's going to take a melt down of the first order.

When the middle class and working folk in this country are pushed over their threshold of pain, then you will see some meaningful change.

That sounds about right. I voted for Perot too, but not the second time he ran.

============

Just saw this. I'm flattered some thought Steve and I have more power than the international bankers and wall Street when it comes to convincing the other 160 million voters who agreed that RP was one daft hanger-on. You fellers obviously weren't thinking clearly. Instead of feeding the blimp, you should have been blinging the pimps.

I can't even believe there's a thread on this. The first thing I did when I read this silliness was search Google to see if he was actually still alive.

PS...are the lawyer lobbies the same as the doctor and banker lobbies?

That right there is some funny a$$ $hit.

Yep the Party Boy hardcores will fervently support a socialist who cannot win even with an R in front of his name. Then they'll blame those who support a Conservative that a Conservative isn't in the White House, in spite of having supported a socialist.

Continually repeating the same stupidity? Um... Yeah...

Of course the fact is, their socialist Republicrat will have a better chance at losing by a smaller margin than the Conservative (largely because they won't vote for him) and that makes them vastly superior to those who do support a Conservative.

Party Boy logic writ large right there for all to see.

Upon this right here we agree for sure.

Throwing your vote away on an unelectable candidate is the most illogical choice a responsible adult can make.

Hope you like your ObamaCare, Benghazi and all the other Foreign policy failures since 2012... because you helped make it happen sport.

Romney wasn't my 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice...but he was better than Obama.

Yeah you're right but after voting Romney in 12 I learned my lesson.

Doesn't sound like you did.

Could you show me where the logic in my post is incorrect by quoting directly from it?

That is in fact what continually happens.

I'll never be able to knock some common sense into the heads of wingnuts like efw and KFWA but I sure as Hell respect their allegiance, resolve and unwavering support of their high school treasurer vote getting candidates.

They sure do hold their ground and move alien-like forward on their convictions.

I really have to respect dumb-[bleep] like those two.

Like I said, I learned from my dumb-$$ed vote for Romney in 12 and won't vote for a liberal again.

You guys enthusiastically support Liberals over and over. Now that's allegiance.

But yours lose by smaller margins and that makes ya feel better. I get it.

Enjoy yer Obamacare counselor!

Enjoy yer Obamacare counselor!

Enjoy being responsible for being able to say that.

Where's your candidate now? Chipotles?

You are such a friggin twit.

I VOTED THE SAME WAY YOU DID IN 12 MORON!

We're equally responsible, douche bag.

No candidate at this point. Would love to vote for a Republican but with a principled brain trust made up of dumb a$$es like you ain't counting on it.

We're equally responsible
======

For 2012, after your brain fart in '08, yes...we were equally responsible. I must have got inside your head.

There's hope for you. Keep up the good work.

Even Cruz and Rand are going to disappoint you over the next 2 years. Only a foolish, selfish man works towards accepting 0% over 60%.

Unless, of course, you're one of those who think Rand and Cruz are liberals, as well.

Not me.

I'm well beyond being disappointed by Presidential candidates.

Disappointment was a long time ago.

Ha ha don't flatter yourself.

I've come to realize there is no way for the system to be corrected from within. As JM pointed out (& I heartily agreed) there will be total collapse necessary for meaningful change.

In that sense, anyone who helps Obama along is indeed speeding us toward our desired outcome.
