RP is going all the way to the republican convention as a republican. Third party candidates never win nomination. This is because they go “start to finish” as a third party candidate. If he goes all the way to the convention and loses to Romney as a republican candidate, he will than sign on as a third party candidate. RP and all his supporters are not going to roll over and vote for Romney if he wins. Not only will the Republican Party lose a boat load of their base to RP, but RP will also gain the independent voters and most of the Obama voters who will not vote for a republican, but would be will willing to vote for someone else. Most of my liberal friends have told me that they would vote for RP, just as long as he doesn’t stay on as a republican.
If RP was smart, he would let Romney win and then sign on as a third party candidate. Am I the only one who sees the logic in this?
I don’t mean to jump in. I do like everything about him, and I would vote for him no matter what party he was in. Unfortunately, there are many out there who will NOT vote for a republican, BUT if there was someone in the middle? That would change everything. RP needs every vote he can get…

If Paul were to go third party and divorce himself from the Republicans, I would consider him.
It's amazing to me that a decision can be made like that based off made up boundaries.
Do you like the guy or not? Do his values resinate with you?
Why are we over complicating this?

There is an important difference between Romney & Obama:
The Republicans may be NWO, but they want to maintain US hegemony. That means "buying time" for the US citizen, by delaying the inevitable collapse of our oil-based civilization.
Harding's supporters thought of him as the next McKinley. By the time the convention began, a Senate sub-committee had tallied the monies spent by the various candidates, with totals as follows: Wood — $1.8 million; Lowden — $414,000; Johnson — $194,000; and Harding — $114,000; the committed delegate count at the opening gavel was: Wood — 124; Johnson — 112; Lowden — 72; Harding — 39. Still, at the opening, less than one-half of the delegates were committed. No candidate was able to corral a majority after nine ballots. Republican Senators and other leaders, who were divided without a singular political boss, met in Room 404 of the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago and after a nightlong session, tentatively concluded Harding was the best possible compromise candidate.

Ron Paul supporters will NEVER support Mitt Romney. This Ron Paul supporter will never support Mitt Romney or Obama. I'd go third party first!

Here's a video from the Maine convention. A Romney party member was trying to circulate false delegate candidates to try and split the votes for Ron Paul approved delegates. They confront the guy and he runs for the police for protection like a true coward.

It's pretty sick the level of deception that the Romney campaign lowers itself too.

The only question I have is where are the Romney supporters?

After seeing how desperately TPTB are trying to stop Ron Paul, I am worried for the good mans health and safety.
