Ron Paul could die? From what? Embarrassment that Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum represent his support?

So the Trilateral Commission is this super-evil body that is secretly running the world and they can't even secure their meeting agenda from Tweedle-dee?

Gathering intelligence via over-heard conversations in bars? How did they know who they were listening to?

And they think the Republican party is going to give Ron Paul a primetime slot at the convention because he has 50 delegates? If they do let him speak it will be at 2 in the morning where his competition on TV is infomercials and the delegates will be asleep.

And the worst thing is that's 7 minutes and 10 seconds of my life gone forever.

I think the Ronulans are dividied between this theory and the fantasy that they can somehow stage a coup at GOP conventions and win the nomination for Paul that way. They are off to a great start with what happened in Nevada.

Obviously the plan is for a write-in campaign. If Ron Paul won't run as a third-party his tens of millions of supporters will simply rise up and write him in.

Of course there are two small problems with that plan.
1) There aren't tens of millions of Ron Paul supporters.
2) Of the Ron Paul supporters that actually exist only 17.9% are capable of figuring out how to write in someone. And of course that's an optimistic percentage.

Brokered convention? Something can happen at the convention? Quick, somebody check the rules!


Sigh. A brokered convention occurs when no candidate is able to win the nomination on the first ballot. Whether Republican delegates are required to vote for their candidates on the first ballot varies from state to state (about 80% are); however, before you get too excited about this, bear in mind that most of McCain's delegates were hand-picked by his campaign for their loyalty to him. (In most states, candidates submit slates of delegates; the better a candidate does, the more of his or her delegates are selected to go to the national convention.)

At this point, only two things can happen to deny McCain the nomination. First, he could suffer a serious health problem that would require him to withdraw from the race. Second, some gigantic skeleton could fall out of his closet, causing overwhelming pressure on him to withdraw. In either event, however, McCain's delegates still get to vote for the nominee. And, news flash, they won't be voting for Ron Paul.

It doesn't matter to me everyone I know is writing in spongebob so I am still gonna vote for the person I voted for in the primaries, and that's ron paul.

Spongebob? You mean the disinfo agent who uses camera tricks to explain away how the towers were able to come down without explosives?

Hehehe, that's the first time I've been to my youtube page in a while. It actually wound up getting a few comments. :D

[Spindrift]

Brokered convention? Something can happen at the convention? Quick, somebody check the rules!

There's no chance of the Republican convention being brokered. There is a slim outside chance of the Democratic convention being brokered. Is Paul going to try to get Democratic nomination? I think Pat Buchanan has a better chance.

Yes, something can happen at the convention. But that usually involves lots of alcohol and escorts. Otherwise not much really happens.

This is what makes the Paulbots so endearing. Their downright refusal to accept reality. It's almost child-like. Well given their ages, I guess that's not surprising.

[jhunter1163]

What if McCain were to die? Would we see a sudden resurgence in corn-dog consumption? Would "Mitt" no longer just refer to a piece of baseball equipment? And just who DID put the bomp in the bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp? Stay tuned...

I sort of agree that he's yanking our chains (I better - I've been arguing that in a few threads already), but I keep being reminded of that episode of Star Trek where some omnilord turned out to be a pouty infant when you considered that beings from his galazy lived for like a katrillion years.

He(she)'s either playing us or a child.

IIRC, that's the Squire of Gothos episode of ST:TOS. Trelayne was his name, I believe. And I believe they later tied him into being a member of the Q, the omnipotent beings who tried to put humanity on trial in the first episode of ST:TNG.

I am sure "something" involving Ron Paul will happen at the Natiional GOP convention.
A bunch of Ronulans will make fools of themselved on the convention floor and up getting asked to leave,that is what will happen.

[ronpaulisright]

Sigh. A brokered convention occurs when no candidate is able to win the nomination on the first ballot. Whether Republican delegates are required to vote for their candidates on the first ballot varies from state to state (about 80% are); however, before you get too excited about this, bear in mind that most of McCain's delegates were hand-picked by his campaign for their loyalty to him. (In most states, candidates submit slates of delegates; the better a candidate does, the more of his or her delegates are selected to go to the national convention.)

At this point, only two things can happen to deny McCain the nomination. First, he could suffer a serious health problem that would require him to withdraw from the race. Second, some gigantic skeleton could fall out of his closet, causing overwhelming pressure on him to withdraw. In either event, however, McCain's delegates still get to vote for the nominee. And, news flash, they won't be voting for Ron Paul.


ok then explain warren G. harding and Lincoln and other men who were nominated via brokered convention?

[parky76]

If Ron Paul becomes the Republican nominee, I will give "ronpaulisright" $100.

[Drudgewire]

Ummm... he just did. Both of those conventions had situations where nobody had a high enough majority of delegate votes to be declared the winner. Lincoln had large support going in, and Harding snuck in by being dishonest about whether there were any potential scandals were out there.

NEWSFLASH: RON PAUL ALREADY HAS A SCANDAL WEIGHING HIM DOWN!!

As dudalb said, unless McCain d... oh damnit, I forgot. You're just a gimmick.

That's a good point. I think the votes were already tainted in the primaries. Paul got more delegates than that I just know it. Something fishy had to have happened to get that psycho mccain as the nominee.

Ok. lets see If I can answer all your questions, pomeroo you are wrong he is still in the race and is still campaigning, he has been to indiana and nevada and north carolina campaigning, also the main plan for supporters is to become a delegate so that when the convention comes they can vote him in I guess. It doesn't matter to me everyone I know is writing in spongebob so I am still gonna vote for the person I voted for in the primaries, and that's ron paul.

Um, I'll be your straight man and point out that the Republican race ended two months ago. No one is campaigning anywhere for the Republican nomination because John McCain has won. Ron Paul is no longer running for President. He is trying to retain his congressional seat. :boggled:

- he shows off what I'd like to call "twoofer syndrome"; see "I haven't researched this"
- he somehow missed Ron Paul is out of the race for POTUS

From Robert Novak's column (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/05/michelle_vetoes_hillary.html) appearing on Rear Clear Politics just this morning:

Not only has Rep. Ron Paul's ongoing presidential candidacy continued to record a substantial vote against John McCain in primary elections, but Paul advocates also forced an unprepared Nevada Republican Party establishment to abruptly adjourn last month's state convention in Reno selecting delegates to the national convention. The meeting has not yet been reconvened.

With a majority at the state convention supporting Paul, several national convention delegates pledged to the insurgent candidate were ready to be elected. State Sen. Bob Beers, the state convention chairman, abruptly adjourned the session. He later explained, "We were overtime on our contract for our convention space" and "were paying our stagehands and audio-video technicians overtime."

A footnote: Paul has made clear on several occasions there is no chance that he ever will endorse McCain for president. [bolding mine]

When I went back in to vote after taking my forms and machine-activation cards out to my car, they'd been relieved by two others.

being that both man are the same age, mccain could pass, which will be sad, because I will give him only two credits of merit, he is a war hero, and he has a good speech voice. other than that, he is just absolutely DREADFUL! OR, the fact that john mccain was a CLIENT to the madam who "killed herself". Don't be so foolish to think that that won't come up, because it WILL! When the public finds out that johnny was screwing whores on the side thus connecting him on the conspiracy that the D.C. madam was murdered because of the clout that these movers and shakers had. So already, without even being nominated officially for the party, there is already dirt on john mccain for the general election.

[ronpaulisright]

they will expose mccain for the whore lover that he is, and ron paul will then get the nomination, and then, sadly, he will be assassinated. But off of that assassination, the american people will roar against the establishment and cause a HUGE conflict, maybe even a war, the war they have been executing since the 80's. a war against you.

Me too. I consider myself a conservative with libertarian leanings (on victimless crimes). A conservative pundit attending a libertarian convention remarked that there were a few very bright people in attendance, the sort who produce creative market analysis, but fully half of the people he met there were certifiable. Some libertarians seem to short-circuit on abstractions. They start from a reasonable premise, then stretch it beyond reason.

Further, your Jeremiah Wright analogy is specious. First, Wright's garbage didn't go out as part of The Barack Obama Political Report, and second, right or wrong, the American public at large is more forgiving of black racism than of white racism.

Finally, you have yet to explain why, even if McCain somehow gets knocked out of the race, any significant number of his delegates will vote for Ron Paul, rather than Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, or some other prominent Republican.

[eromitlab]

It must be because Ron Paul is the only other Republican still active in the race, so therefore if McCain has to depart the race, Ron Paul wins via some manner of "last man standing" rule that likely doesn't exist in RNC by-laws.

I don't know a lot about US politics, could you tell me why anyone in their right mind would vote for Ron Paul or why the Republican party would endorse him as a candidate for President?

[gambling_cruiser]

I think Jimmy Carter has a better chance to be nominated as republican candidate than Ron Paul

[ronpaulisright]

Ron Paul is for the people. I wish the same could be said about mccain and obama and hilary.

Ron Paul = bringing the troops home, AGAINST regulating the internet, wants to get rid of the fed, rid of the CIA, voted against the iraq war, voted against the patriot act and HATES gun control.

This is why he's MY candidate.

If McCain withdraws before the convention, his delegates are free to vote for whomever they wish on the first ballot (including John McCain, if they choose). Whether the person has announced his withdrawal from the race is irrelevant. Even if this weren't the case, however, Paul would still not be able to "win by default," because Mitt Romney did not "withdraw" from the race; he only "suspended" his campaign, which allows him to retain his delegates and to continue raising money (to pay off campaign debts).

Kindly take your Ron Paul infomercial to the Politics subforum. Having said that, several of the above positions, along with the newsletter scandal, ensure that Ron Paul will never be the Republican nominee, and, frankly, you ought to accept that and move on.

ETA: Another point: Mike Huckabee, who has withdrawn from the race, got about 10.0 % of the votes in the Indiana Republican primary and 12.7% of the votes in the North Carolina Republican primary last week, to Ron Paul's 7.7% and 7.5%, respectively. That should tell you something about Paul's chances.

[Drudgewire]

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

The saddest thing is I'm a Lions fan and couldn't even make that analogy, because Paul probably has a better chance of winning the White House than Detroit does of making it to the big game.

I asked why would anyone in their right mind vote for him...

[CurtC]

I don't know a lot about US politics, could you tell me why anyone in their right mind would vote for Ron Paul or why the Republican party would endorse him as a candidate for President?

To be fair, Paul is an advocate for a government with a more limited scope, and I think that's a good idea. I would like to see the Republican Party move more in that direction, explicitly saying that government should be limited in what it is allowed to do. A vote for Paul in the primaries would ideally send a message to the Republicans that they need to pay more attention to those of us who want that kind of government.

Paul takes this view to an extreme, such as dismantling the Fed. That's pretty scary and we should be very cautious about that kind of big change that's worked really well for almost a century. That's why I wouldn't like to see Paul actually be president, but it's not insane to vote for Paul in the primary. (Note: I didn't do it myself, my primary goal was to keep Huckabee and Romney out.)

[Foolmewunz]

Oh, yes, Wayne Madsen says he "a source very close to" Deborah Jean Palfrey who said so, so of course that proves it. :rolleyes: Wayne Madsen is a paranoid conspiraloon who now claims to have been warned that a government hit team is trying to kill him. :tinfoil


Oh God No!!



I'm sorry folks but there is an important post, above. Please read it. Wayne Madsen could die. Admins, I'm serious about this. I am not a troll. bear with me.

Wayne Madsen! Say it ain't so! And he heard it from the same bleary-eyed drunks that we got the RP story from. It has to be true... It's On The Internet.

[T.A.M.]

IIRC did Mitt Romney not SUSPEND his candidacy? I do not think he officially quit/withdrew. I am not sure if that has changed since.

If he did suspend, then he could, I presume, restart if McCain were to meet with an untimely death.

I'm quite glad there is a Ron Paul for people such as you to cling to. The last thing any real candidate wants is support from the Ron Paul supporters. Nothing will turn off voters more than getting lectured by people who have no grasp on reality.

So I hope you keep up your support of Ron Paul, so the rest of us can worry about electing a president.

I like the "trying" to kill him part. This guy believes the government was capable of pulling off 9/11, but can't manage to kill one journalist?

actually ron paul is only against the government regulating the internet, the particular law in question that he against would be the one that prevents your ISP from regulating the internet (and charging you extra for youtube and high-bandwidth sites)

but hey, to each his own

paul:

Congress has considered Net neutrality legislation, but it never became law. Do you still support the legislation that was re-introduced in 2007 (http://news.zdnet.com/%3C/SignificantUpdate%3E%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20 %20%20%20%20%20%20http://www.news.com/Net-neutrality-proposal-revived-in-Senate/2100-1028_3-6148751.html) (S 215 (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:S.215:)), which gives the FCC the power to punish "discriminatory" conduct by broadband providers?

Paul: No. Net neutrality legislation (http://news.zdnet.com/2006-06-08%2019:00:00%3C/SignificantUpdate%3E%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20 %20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%2 0%20http://www.news.com/House-rejects-Net-neutrality-rules/2100-1028_3-6081882.html) will hamper the development of new Internet services and harm consumers in the long run. The best way to address the concerns of proponents of Net neutrality is to remove government-imposed barriers to entry into the Internet provider market.http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-6224161.html

mcain:
On the only Senate vote to date on network neutrality, McCain cast his against an amendment to a comprehensive telecom reform bill in 2006 that would have required broadband carriers such as AT&T and Comcast to treat all network traffic in a nondiscriminatory manner.
"When you control the pipe you should be able to get profit from your investment," McCain told the All Things Digital conference.
http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Government/John-McCain-A-Republican-Tech-Record/



they hold the same position, although it seems fro different reasons, paul seems to think big telcom companies can be trusted to treat consumers fairly, mccain thinks they should be able to do whatever they want

BTW comcast is curently testing a per-use billing plan, which will bill your internet based on how much you download, kiss youtube goodbye :)

well i dont agree, i dont think the big telcom corporations can be trusted to leave it neutral, and others in the government dont either, thats why the net neutrality act was introduced

and its time warner (not comcast, sorry) that is testing usage-based billing (this imposes several hidden discriminations that most people will overlook) but this is more a discussion for politics

And before you go any further, my grandfather owned a 12 bore shotgun, its now with my uncle (who has a farm down in Gloucestershire). Recently I was offered it, because he doesn't use it. I've no use for it either.

Just because you've a constitutional 'right' to bear arms, doesn't mean you should. And it doesn't mean assault weapons made purely for mass murder should be available to any old member of the public.

You have completely misunderstood the intent of the "net neutrality" bill, and your favorite candidate's position on it.

Ron Paul is in favor of keeping the FCC out of the Internet regulation business, therefore he is against the idea of net neutrality. He wants to allow service providers to charge however you and they agree to set up a service plan, including one that charges more for users of BitTorrent or YouTube. I agree with him, BTW.

But I don't think I've ever seen a more ill-informed poster here.

My, but this thread has proved educational. Let's see, now... just by RPiR's own stumbling in the dark, so far he's learned:

RP will unlease corporate communications giants on the unsuspecting public and will allow them to charge him for every downloaded bit torrent, thereby bankrupting RPiR's mommy and daddy.

RP is older than John McCain (man, I love it when the obvious escapes notice until just at that one bee-u-tee-ful moment when you smack 'em upside the head with it), and since John McCain might die at any second, then RP is probably already dead (not figuratively... I mean literally) by RPiR logic.

Actually what you wrote was:
Mccain is old. He lived a full life. He might pass from pneumonia or something. Then Ron Paul will be elected. the others dropped out. Can they jump back in?

You first made the reference to John McCain's advanced age, drawing the seeming conclusion that age equals possible poor health and you then showed a complete misunderstanding of how the nomination process works.
BTW John McCain is younger than Ron Paul.

I mearly pointed out that Sen. McCain is in fact younger than Rep. Paul. (It took less than 30sec. to discover that)

One could then assume, using you logic, that the Texas Congressman would have an even better chance of not surviving the nomination process.

[Viper Daimao]

Don't worry, he's safe, he's got about as much chance as getting elected President as Calvin Coolidge does this year, and he's been dead for 75 years.

I'd vote for Coolidge, he was a great president.

This isn't directed just at you, CC, but in RPIR's defense (did I really just write that :confused:) he/she was attempting to articulate a basis for continuing to hope that Ron Paul might somehow gain the Republican nomination, by claiming that because McCain is old he is more likely to be forced to withdraw because of health concerns. The fact that Ron Paul might also have a similar health concern does not preclude RPIR's hoping that McCain is the one who has to drop out for health reasons, rather than Paul. Additionally, Paul is a physician, has not had cancer AFAIK, and was not brutally abused by his North Vietnamese captors for 5 1/2 years. (OTOH, McCain's 96-year-old mother has regularly campaigned with him. Note also that both of Paul's parents lived into their 90s.)

However, to reiterate, RPIR's hope is in vain; even if McCain does have to withdraw, Ron Paul will not be the party's choice for a substitute. The nominee would most likely be either Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee.
