What will Paul supporters do if he doesn't win the nomination?

All you diehard Ron Paul fans- what will you do if RP fails to win the nomination?

Are you going to vote for someone you can't stand or agree with? Or will you stay home in protest?

What effect do you think Ron Paul's supporters will have on Obama's reelection chances if Paul isn't the candidate?

For the record, I am an Obama supporter, but I don't dislike RP (I just don't want him to be president)

Then I'll vote for him as an Independent.

Write in / no vote.

Hope that he runs as Independant....if not..oh well just going to be more of the same.

I think the majority of Ron Paul supporters will hold their nose, and eat the crap sandwich that will be Romney or Gingrich. A more interesting question to me is, why are you an Obama supporter?

Because Obama isn't a republican, of course. Obama isn't that great, but he still isn't nearly as evil or destructive as a republican.

Of course RP isn't evil, but he wants to dismantle our country and doesn't even realize it would destroy our economy.

I wrote him in in GA, 2008.

A more direct answer: I won't lie.
I will cast my vote for who I believe to be the best candidate, aka Ron Paul, even if I have to write him in.

i probably wouldnt vote. If i had a gun to my head though, prolly perry.

You honestly think the Republican contenders are evil?

Write-in his name on your ballot in November. Or if he jumps to independent, which he probably will have to, and should, vote for him on that ticket.

I think that shall not be an issue. He will win.

You should really listen to his speeches before you make such statements. He's not going to take a machete to the federal government in his first week and has acknowledged as much many times. He simply states what needs to be eliminated form the federal government, and I am sure that if he gets elected, he will have so much resistance to his plan that it won't be the least bit easy.

I always vote my conscience. I wrote him in last time. I will again if I need to.

Ron Paul doesn't want to dismantle the country, he wants to restore it to the once great nation it used to be. The current regime is dismantling this country, and dozens of other countries for that matter. Dismantling our economy, dismantling our global image, dismantling our citizens well being and most of all, dismantling our civil liberties! What will all the Paul bashers do when he wins?

Oh, dear...
Okay, look, I don't want to come off as anything other than genuinely trying to help here,
but just from reading this quote right there,
I seriously think there are some fundamental flaws going on with your world view right now,
possibly due to lack of information (which is totally understandable)
but they need to be corrected before...well, before it's too late for this country/world.

For starters: This is NOT a "Republican" vs "Democrat" thing.
That whole two party system is a lie, a scam and a theatrical element to keep you/us distracted and versus one another.
BOTH political parties are DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY.
Not all, of course, but nearly every politician/lobbiest in DC is corrupt, bought out, paid for and a talking head for interests and agendas that have nothing to do with our best interests as freedom loving human beings.

B) Both parties are currently destroying the dollar/economy. Actually, they are just allowing it to happen (either ignorantly or consciously), but it is the FEDERAL RESERVE that is ruining our economy. Not the republicans, not the democrats, but ALL of them. We need to get them OUT. Ron Paul will do that.

C) Ron Paul is the only candidate who understands our Economy. Period. All anyone else see's are $$ signs reflecting in their own eyes. They want money for THEM, not for YOU. Ron Paul will free this country from the slave masters that are The Federal Reserve, ie Central Banking.

D) You should probably watch THRIVE, a new documentary which will explain all of this much more thoroughly than I am able of doing here/now. You can stream THRIVE for free here >> vodpod.com...

I wish I could explain to you how important it is to understand these concepts. The American Politlical system is A LIE and it is DESIGNED to purposefully strip our economy of ANY value, and YOU of ANY freedoms. We have to wake up. Obama is a puppet. He cares 0% for you or me or this country. He serves an agenda (just like Bush, Clinton, Bush Sr, etc, etc) that extends well beyond the borders of America, and it is an agenda that aims to tear down the constitution of this country.

Please watch the film.



(I'm sorry I sound so...intense? But, like...this is important X1000)

You sound antagonistic about voting for Ron Paul or what. Like supporters for Paul failed?

NOW WHAT?

Kinda weak in my opinion. I dislike all other candidates more.

I don't agree with all his views.

At least he has some teeth and convictions on multiple topics. I really can't say that about many running for President including the current President. Mr. Obama has NO convictions. Just a string puller behind the next speach. He did that. Not me. Newt? Nauseating. Mitt? Which glove is he catching for?

Hillary? Her husbands team probably taught the "Catch Cain" team how to exploit it.

I see no options. I'd rather vote for Paul with some idea's I disagree with, then what our options are to date.

Who do YOU like and why?

I'm non committed. The vote is still out.

You honestly think the Republican contenders are evil?

Of course, they all support endless war, torture and the evil corporate/banker/wall street/military/surveillance society that want to take away all our rights, all our freedoms, all our money, and destroy the entire planet for power and money. What the hell can you call that if not evil?

This is a question I find myself wondering more and more as Paul's popularity seems to grow despite the media ignoring him.

I think Dr. Paul would do well to have a crack staff of exit pollers, though. If he can be shut out by the media then it makes me wonder to what lengths TPTB might go to keep him out of office.

First post! Please be kind. I'm very happy to be an ATS member!

Lame stream media has taught (indoctrinated) you well.

I'd love to see him win as a "write in" candidate.

That would show the parties where they can stuff it.
