I can understand Liberatarians wanting him to switch, just to hope for a win, but this is about our Country. Not Ron Paul, not Liberatarians, not any political party.

Make sure he gets the nomination by voting in the primaries. His campaign is not going to be successful if people just sit back and do nothing until Nov. 7 2008!!

Spread the word
Vote in your local primaries (you might have to switch to republican)
Join groups of his supporters at http://www.meetup.com
Write letters to the editor
Call your TV and paper news and ask them to cover Ron Paul (don’t accuse them, just them know you are interested in learning more about him.)
Write an article yourself and post it somewhere on the web or submit it your local paper.
Vote, Vote, Vote!!!! Don’t just say you will, do it!! Make your voice heard, write him in if you must. It is your right and duty as a citizen.

Don’t even consider that you would be ‘wasting your vote’ if he isn’t nominated. If you vote for someone else simply because you ‘think’ they have a better chance, then you are wasting your vote. If all the people that felt this way actually voted for him, imagine the difference it would make. There is simply no way I could feel that I am wasting a vote on Ron Paul. I have spent hundreds so far and will spend thousands more of my money, and months of my time to fight for him, and I am far from alone. Even if does not win, I will not feel for one minute that it was all wasted. I will know I did and gave everything I could possibly do and give.

The Ron Paul revolution is a bloodless revolution, and it must and WILL be fought! Please do everything you can to help get our country back.

I sincerely hope that Ron Paul runs for the Libertarian Party presidential nominee if he fails in his bid for the Republican nomination. This would allow him to continue his presidential candidacy through the duration of the 2008 campaign, resulting in his message being heard by millions more and allowing people to still be able to vote for him. And he would also greatly help the Libertarian Party.

Ron Paul (circa 2007) exists in the limelight only because of his Iraq view….Most of his popularity is actually NOT coming from Republicans at all, but rather Dems cherry-picking his Iraq view.

casualobserver,

How did you come to the conclusion that most of Ron Paul’s popularity is coming from Democrats? I’ve come across literally hundreds of posts and comments supportive of Ron Paul (i.e. YouTube, Digg, Lew Rockwell’s blog), and the overwhelming majority of them were written by libertarians and paleoconservatives–not Democrats.

I’m not doubting that he has gained support from anti-war Democrats who are only now learning about his anti-war bonafides, but I think you underestimate the support that Ron Paul has among the libertarian community. Ron Paul has been a member of the Libertarian Party for twenty years, and his views were well known to libertarians long before the Iraq War.

Ron Paul has been involved in politics for many years, and he’s been very open about what he stands for–free market capitalism, civil liberties, and non-interventionism. He’s made more than thirty speeches on the floor of the House of Representatives speaking out against the Iraq War. The fact that American voters are only now beginning to hear about his positions is a testament to how the Mainstream Media has chosen to ignore him.

Here is an interactive audio archive as a resource of

I don’t share your view on this. Ron Paul (circa 2007) exists in the limelight only because of his Iraq view. Take away Iraq and he would have only 10% of his present day admirers…….i.e., people who are actually dyed-in-the-wool domestic policy libertarians……..not a category in any dominance in the blogosphere. Most of his popularity is actually NOT coming from Republicans at all, but rather Dems cherry-picking his Iraq view. Much like I vote for Gravel in all the Kos polls…lol!

The only real question for the 2008 election is whether the Democrats get 60 seats in the Senate or if they get to 59, will the Democrats be able to flip one of the remaining Republicans such as Arlen Specter.
