Ron Paul finished last in SC and will now skip Florida, can he and will he still win the GOP nomination?
I really want and hope Paul will be the nominee but I don't know where he's going to get the delegates.....he gets most supporters from young people and military people....but SC was full of military population and he finished last there.....and young people only represent about 15% of the voters who vote.....
what's your take on his chances of winning the nomination?
thanks

Ron Paul is for the US Constitution and against the neo-conservative / socialist movements that are more commonly referred to as Republican and Democrat parties. Modern elections are all about buying votes with money stolen from the national treasury or campaign contributions given in return for special favors. Think I'm wrong? Why don't you read the US Constitution and an essay about Col Dave Crockett, "Not Yours to Give."?
Both MSM parties (republicans and democrats) are heavily reliant on emotion. (the voters are a jury that has proven to be incapable of making logical decisions)
I look up bills on govtrack.us. I can also see the bill sponsors and voting record of senate and congress.
At least w/ SOPA King B Hussein Obama will not need to sit and wait w/ his internet kill switch. It will be done automatically. In addition please consider this;
FEMA camps and NDAA are the real thing. (just like an Orwellian Utopia) You'll be gettin' the eff out of dodge to avoid some kind of urban uprising because of a disaster or emergency and about 30 or 40 miles out of town traffic will stop. Military stormtroopers will walk through stopped traffic and warn people to stay in their cars. When you get to the roadblock ahead you will be told to get out of your car (leave your keys and belongings in the car and DO NOT bring any weapons.) Then you will wait in a holding area for a bus and go to one of their internment facilities for in-processing. Hopefully you will not get to play any of their games (waterboarding, solitary confinement, etc) But don't worry, 6 fully staffed waterboards means you won't have a long line to wait in.
NDAA (just signed into law by Barack Hussein Obama) will be used to authorize the whole thing, Did you read the book or see the movie "1984"? That's what it is. It allows any federal agency to declare an emergency and use the military forces to impose martial law. What they are doing in the mid east (door to door searches without warrants or any due process whatsoever) is only a rehearsal of what they have in store for us here. This is an article I wrote for another section.
Do the police need a warrant to search me or my property? Under aspects of the US Constitution, all persons are protected from unwarranted searches and any other form of arbitrary harassment. Unfortunately modern courts have misinterpreted the intentions of the founding fathers who authored the US Constitution and Bill of Rights to give the police the power at their discretion to use "probable cause." Police should not be allowed to lawfully act on suspicions or whims, and any action against any person should be deemed unconstitutional. This also includes any electronic surveillance such as wiretaps, directional mics, etc. Of course under aspects of the "Patriot Act" they will claim that it is to protect us from terrorists. They also claim that states need to implement a REAL ID program so that sheeple can be digitally mapped for easy identification to once again... protect us from terrorists. Meanwhile, the southern border is wide open to basically let in whoever wants to come for whatever reason.
The fact is this; the enforcement of drug and firearm prohibition has allowed the government to turn this country into a pig powered police state and everyday it is becoming more and more like the USSR. You might like all of this "protection" but personally I prefer to protect myself. If you are the kind of person that wants to give up your liberty for security then please go somewhere else like China or N Korea.

He has 0% chance of winning the nomination. He could run as a 3rd party candidate and guarantee an Obama victory, but he doesn't want to ruin Rand's chances to run and lose in the next 10 republican primaries.

If Ron Paul Wins the Republican nomination I will Publicly take back every thing I have ever said about Republicans and apologize to them .

Why would you want Paul to be the nominee? He is about as crazy as they come. Is it because you are a heavy pot user or that you think The United States causes all of the problems in the world?

Paul isn't running for president. He knows he has no chance at a nomination. He's running to keep his name out there and hope to push for a role at the GOP convention.
- Smug LiberalLv 59 years ago
I question the sanity of anyone who ever believed he could be elected President, much less the GOP nominee. He has ZERO chance.
- Chi GuyLv 59 years ago
No.
The GOP hates conservatives.
The GOP only supports huge government, massive deficit, pro-uber rich, anti-US laborer, pro-amnesty for illegals candidates.

Of course he can!! :)
Do you subscribe to Ron Paul's emails? Here is what he sent out this morning - very encouraging:
Dear Liberty Activist,
After historic finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire, our campaign quadrupled its amount of support from 2008 in South Carolina!
Thanks to everyone who worked so hard in the Palmetto State to spread our message and help continue our momentum! I’m grateful for the countless hours you put in to recruit more voters to our cause.
Only a little over one percent of the delegates have been awarded, and although Newt Gingrich prevailed last night, there is only one candidate in this race who has the organization, the resources, and the volunteers to compete nationwide with establishment candidate Mitt Romney – and only one candidate whose name will appear on every ballot with Mitt Romney’s.
You see, at the very beginning of our campaign, I worked with my staff to create a strategy that would keep us in for the long haul.
The race for the Republican nomination will be a marathon, not a sprint, and we’re just getting started.
I hope you’ll help me further strengthen our organization in upcoming states by donating whatever you are able right away.
Florida is just around the corner, with caucuses in Nevada, Maine, Colorado, and Minnesota following right on its heels.
On March 6, hundreds of delegates will be up for grabs on Super Tuesday with elections in multiple states, including Virginia, where it’s a two-man race between me and Mitt Romney.
We’re primed to do very well in these contests. Staff and volunteers have been working around the clock in many of these states to deliver a victory, and I’m excited about what we can achieve.
With Newt’s win in South Carolina, the spotlight will be on his candidacy like never before.
So I believe it’ll become clearer than ever that neither he nor Mitt Romney have the conservative credentials needed to take on and defeat Barack Obama.
When voters examine the records of both leading establishment candidates, they’ll see a history of support for bailouts, massive spending, health care mandates, gun control, union boss power grabs, Cap-and-Trade, and more destructive policies.
If our Party wants to beat President Obama, it must choose a nominee who can provide a clear contrast to his administration.
As we head into a very busy month of campaigning, I’ll continue to stand strong for real change, like:
*** Cutting $1 trillion in spending during the first year of my presidency.
*** Eliminating five bloated, unconstitutional federal agencies and returning those powers to the states.
*** Balancing the federal budget in three years.
*** Securing our borders and getting serious about keeping this nation safe.
I’m counting on you to fight alongside me.
So please, donate whatever you are able right away to make sure we have every possible resource to win the Republican nomination.
Despite what the establishment media would have the American people believe, voters don’t have to settle for more of the same Big Government, big spending, status quo candidates.
Together, you and I can return this country to its founding principles of individual freedom, limited government, sound money, and personal responsibility.
Onward!
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
P.S. After achieving historic results in Iowa and New Hampshire, our campaign quadrupled its total from 2008 in South Carolina last night!
Now, as we look ahead to several contests in the coming weeks, it’s more critical than ever that I know I can count on your support.
Only my campaign has the resources, the organization, and the volunteers to compete nationwide with establishment candidate Mitt Romney – and only my name will appear on each ballot along with Mitt Romney’s.
With the spotlight brighter than ever before on my both my leading establishment opponents, more voters will realize that their Big Government candidacies spell certain defeat against President Obama.
Please, help me reach millions more voters with the truth about my consistent conservative record, as well as our message of freedom and real change, with your most generous contribution today.
