Ron Paul is NOT out of the race

Listen to him, Going the Distance He is not going third party (you may recall I said that months ago when many were saying he would). Cut it any way you want, all the other candidates will continue the march into deepening socialism and bankruptcy. Paul is giving us an opportunity to go the other direction. Its a long ways to the Convention and election.
 
Open your eyes, inhale deeply,..... smell the coffee?

You need 1191 delegates to clinch the nomination. McCain has 724 and Paul has 14 (thats 14 more than me). Paul needs 1177 more delegates to clinch the nomination, and there aren't even that many delegates left up for grabs.

Assuming Paul could win every state, including the need to get 100% of the vote in states that split up their delegates, he still could not get the nomination. Can we put Ron Paul to rest?

He has 42 delegates not 14 as post in the controlled media, not near enough is true, but, this isn't over yet. Did you listen to him on the link? There are a couple of other things going on with his campaign besides getting delegates. No, I will never put his message to rest! Its all about liberty and freedom. All the rest of the candidates will sell you out in the end.
 
While I'm inclined to agree Fish this cycle is very unpredictable. Who would've thought a year ago the Dem race would look like this? They are marching toward a brokered convention. There is such a great dislike and distrust of McCain that a severe backlash could still happen. I don't know if R.P. will figure into it but NOTHING is certain now. I'll refrain from making any more predictions until the first week of November. I have been saying all along that the Hildabeast wouldn't be the Socialist's nominee and that very well may play out. Interesting times we live in.

Greg, you're a great guy. I love to read your stuff and most of the time I agree with your principles and convictions. About Mr. Paul......

He indeed has the ideas and motivation that would be great for this nation, IMO. He's a REALIST and probably has more common sense than all the other candidates combined. My biggest falling out with him is his communication skills. I simply can't get anything out of what he says unless I think it over for a few minutes afterwards. He's kinda like listening to a teenager talk in that "street" language that they use. It gives me great concern when I think about him trying to negotiate and correspond with other world leaders. Maybe if he would get himself an interpretor that made his statements a little more "eloquent" it would help. I think that is the main thing that is holding him back from advancing forward politically. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
I think the problem with Dr. Paul is he doesnt "dumb down" what he says enough. Most of the people out there dont understand what he is saying because he uses words that are larger than 4 letters.

I think Greg and I said from the get go that Paul wouldnt run as an independant, nobody believed us or Paul.

As i have said numerous times. If you believe in conservative ideals such as, small government, less taxes, strong national defense, sound money and a balance budget. You only have ONE choice out there, Dr. Ron Paul.

Its not about Ron Paul, its about the MESSAGE which Paul supports! RESTORE THE REPUBLIC!!!!

Well, my grasp of our language and vocabulary expertise isn't the problem. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

It's just his way of vocalizing his expressions that create the lack of understanding and, more importantly, the lack of clarity on his stances. We're just a bunch of old dumb hillbillies here in SE Tennessee, but I have heard that same complaint from several others as well.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not putting him down nor trying to be overly critical. I just think that he could be more adept at creating interest if his manner of delivery were different.
 
I agree Hidalgo.Too bad it's not his son running for
President.His son has the same political views but is a much more articulate speaker.
 
So what does everyone think of Huckabee? I hear he's been a life-long hunter. And seems to be pick'n up a head of steam in the last primaries. Seems to have a real sense of humor about himself. Rarely seen in politicians. He's pro-life too. Lets not forget thats an important issue also. Seems like the kind of guy I'd like to go coyote hunt'n with.

Probably not going to happen, but I'd ALSO like that opportunity. He seems like "just another 'ole boy" to me.....might be a refreshing change. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
 
I'm not real big on Huck, but a lot better than McLiar. He may yet get enough delegates, but it's going to take a sharp change in the voting for that to happen.
 
Maybe it's not too late for a brokered Republican convention that would produce Fred Thompson as presidential candidate with ?? Romney or Huckabee as veep....too much to hope for...
 
even if it ended up brokered, why would they pick people who dropped out early on rather than deciding among the top delegate winners still in play?
 
Huckleberry is not a fiscal conservative. He's a congenial Baptist preacher and a great orator because of it.

Critics were acusing Mitt Romney about being slick, but I think he just didn't do as good a job hiding it as Huckleberry does. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif

He is what is important to me
1.Against abortion
2.Against so called gay rights
3.Against gun control
Do I think he will be there come November?Maybe, but I highly doubt it.If McCain is there come November someone not voting or voting for a write in might as well be voting for Obama or Clinton because they would be helping them get voted in.
 
BruceT,

Amen to that. I think we oughtta go coyote hunt'n with Huck. Knock off around 8 AM. Head down the road to the local cafe for eggs, bacon and coffee. Maybe hot cakes on the side. Sounds good to me.

I've heard that argument ever since George Wallace ran as a Independant.
Actualy the recall election we had in Mexifornia not to long back, that argument was even made by Shawn Hanity on FOX News.
" A Mclintock vote would be a vote for the Democrat " That was the only viable stance Arny even had.Now that we have the Gubenator ,wouldn't we all have felt better if the Democrat would have won. At least we'd know what to expect. Hell, before we could even turn around the Gubenator was stabbing us in the back and taking our fears of Democrates for granted.
McCain has already stabbed us in the back, if you vote for him, don't get upset when he carries on his liberal agenda
. The longer we keep voting for the likes of McCain, the longer the party anointed will take us for granted.

At least we would have a chance with MacCain in office.We have no chance with Obama or Clinton in office.
