I'm not trying to sound defeatist, but would the "powers" even let Ron Paul debate on the big stage as a 3rd party nominee? In my opinion, they would break rules to stop him, but who would be able to stop the "powers" from breaking a rule?
Thank you.

I find it incredible Ron Paul doesn't understand how big his online support is, worldwide. Out of any politician anywhere, he owns the internet and no one else.
Let's go Dr. Paul, make a 3rd party run, whatcha got to lose?

This is just getting sad. I had respect for rp, even though I disagree with a lot of his stances. But now he's just pandering. Reminds me of all of gore's challenges when he lost. There comes a point where you have to say "its over. We tried, I'm proud of the effort and accomplishments, but its over. "
If he had been given a fair deal during the process I would agree with you.
He has much more support than you think.
I was talking to another delegate last night about this. He could run as the VP on the Libertarian ticket and Johnson could just resign after the election. He's on all 50 ballots,
He spent all day yesterday putting up signs for GOP candidates, and didn't talk to one person who was for Romney, not one.edit on 4-9-2012 by AGWskeptic because: (no reason given)

But I think if they break the rules this time, it will be their last. I want to see them be stupid enough to do this. "go ahead, make our day"'. I feel political change is coming.

Yeah that will be a winning combination. Listen Ron Paul is not going to be elected President. He does however have the potential as a third party candidate to hurt one of the other candidates in the election. Which one would it be?

I do not understand your position at all. If you were not supporting RP for what he stood for...then why were you? ...Romney doesn't stand for anything that Ron did so...why cop an attitude if Ron feels compelled to continue to keep the Constitution and Liberty movement alive...you have me extremely confused. If he endorses Gary Johnson, that is a good thing. If Jim Gray steps aside and lets Ron have the Libertarian VP candidacy...that's a freaking awesome thing! How can you support the guy then and not now? Are you just trapped in the Republican thing or what?
