I’m sticking with the “conservative movement in America is dead!”

and I’m voting for Billary, just to spite you all.

Cheney/Bush 2008

If anybody but Paul gets the nom I’m staying home.

Pull up a chair!

Ron Paul – NO STINKIN’ WAY
Huckabee – NO STINKIN’ WAY
McCain – NO STINKIN’ WAY

Rudy – no (lowercase)Too much baggage. Messy personal life. Pro-life. I won’t take a pinky-promise that he’ll nominate conservative judges.

Mitt – You better make it abundantly clear that you’re leaving your liberal ways behind you. You better also make it abundantly clear that…. wait… quickly go to Fred08 and make a copy of all his ideas, learn them, memorize them, feel them in your bones, and then maybe.

Oink,

Thank you. I couldn’t have said it better.

Mooseman

RP is by FAR the best candidate on the second amendment and the border. As for the war, he is the best candidate for my position, which is to get us out of there ASAP, but most on here dont think that way. That chart is BS, as he should have a 4 for the immigration issue, which would put him close to the lead.

The only thing Ron Paul can do now is enter as a third-party and give the race to the Dems.

zoom, explain to me how the Republican party will win in November 2008 when their platform hasn’t changed since they lost the House and the Senate in November of 2006?

Ron Paul is more in line with the “Old” Republican Party, the one that got us out of wars (Vietnam & Korea), instead of this “New” warmongering, big government version.

Convince me otherwise…

Fed Up

I actually think it is much better for FredHeads to remain unaffiliated with any campaign. As long as the other candidates think they need to work for our votes, the more conservative they will stay.

SPOT ON Sister!!!!

zoomzale on January 23, 2008 at 5:03 PM

Yeah well that’s just like your opionion man.

Absolute hogwash. The reason we have people like McCain is because too many conservatives are weak and refuse to fight. Instead, the settle on the candidate they think can win instead of those who share their values and beliefs.

Gregor on January 23, 2008 at 2:05 PM

Couldn’t agree more!

I am still a Fredhead and will be voting for him in Californias PRimary…I understand his decision to get out but I feel like it would have almost assured a brokered convention if he had stayed in through super tuesday. I challenge everone to keep track of what percentage of voted he still gets during Super Tuesday ANything above 5% anywhere and he should NOT have gotten out. I am vacillating between possibly voting for Mitt or the Constitution Party candidate in the general election (as (protest vote that doesn’t have me voting for the democrat out of spite or the lesser of two evils in my party!). IF…Mitt would extend an invitation to FRED to be his running mate it would give me a more easy feeling towards voting MITT
McCain – NO WAY Immigration too important is tearing country apart
Guilani – Neutral…weak 2nd amendment and weak immigration, strong National security though?
Huckabee – NO WAY Liberal in elephants clothing
Roan Paul – NO he’s Liberatrian. Is overly isolationist…however he is right on money issues.

What say you, Fredheads?

Uh, that our candidate may have dropped out of the race, but our brains didn’t fall out of our skulls….

Also, talk more about War on Islamic Jihad. He’s the only one who isn’t afraid to use the words “jihad” and “caliphate” (Huckabee probably doesn’t know what they mean) and he needs to capitalize on that.

Speaking of capitalize…continue to defend capitalism the way he did when he slammed Huckabee in the NH roundtable.

The only thing Ron Paul can do now is enter as a third-party and give the race to the Dems.
How would conservative principles be advanced by that?
The same goes for the, “If it’s not MY guy, I’m staying home” crowd.
That’ll show ‘em!!
All that does is allow the Dems to brag that they received a clear mandate from the masses to do as much damage as they can to the constitution, the economy, and America in general.
After Reagan won the nomination in 1980, the supporters of the other Republicans didn’t stay home; they voted for him in the General, even though their guy didn’t win the nomination.
That’s how Republicans won; by supporting the party’s nominee, regardless of the fact that he wasn’t their “ideal” candidate.
Yes, it sucks to have most of the rest of the party not agreeing with you that your guy is the best. Believe me, as a Fredhead, I know. But that’s politics.
I also made the mistake of a “protest” vote. For Ross Perot. Guess what? 8 years of Clinton rule and now the spectre of Hillary being President is what we reaped for that mistake.
So, I’ll vote for Mitt on Super Tuesday. But if Huck, or Mac, or Rudy, or Ron Paul is the nominee afterwords, you bet I’ll vote for that person in the General.
To paraphrase the saying, “Let’s be Republi-CANS, not Republi-can’ts”.

I cannot wait for Paul to run as a third party. Finally a conservative has someone to vote for. Ron Paul 2008!

Hopefully he’ll get in the debates.

I get the sense that this is the #1 most important issue for the Rontards.

Hollowpoint on January 23, 2008 at 3:36 PM

Not for conservatives like me. Never smoked pot. Bill of Rights, economy, taxes, illegals top my list. The other candidates won’t stand up for the Bill of Rights. They have all attacked it on some level, except for maybe Huck, and he’s weak on taxes and illegals.

If anybody but Paul gets the nom I’m staying home.

Paul’s supporters are all insanely fanatical college students and anti-establishment types with deep pockets and/or large amounts of disposable income.

Fred’s supporters were all overly excitable normal people with jobs and families to support.

Thus why Paul raked in millions and Fred couldn’t get his organization well-funded, although his poor organization didn’t help matters.

BKennedy on January 23, 2008 at 3:08 PM

This is incorrect and shows gross ignorance on the poster’s part. The majority of all campaign money contributed to Paul has been in the form of donations of $100 or less. If you did 5 minutes of research you’d know this.

Fred’s supporters were all overly excitable normal people with jobs and families to support.

I’m not overly excitable. My support of Fred wasn’t fanatical or unreasonable. I just preferred the things he said and the way he said them to the way that any of the other Republican candidates did.

I don’t even think it’s fair to mention Fred supporters in the same breath with the lunatics who support Ron Paul.

People such as yourself continue to bow down and give them exactly what they want regardless of their actions.

Not sure if this has been addressed yet, but you are making a dangerous assumption that by sitting out, the message you want delivered to the GOP is the one that will be delivered. Given that the label of stupid party is more than a bit apt, what makes you think your message will get through?

Romney=yes
