This Post is For Ron Paul Voters Who Are Authentically Right-Wing
One Saturday last fall, President Obama interrupted a White House strategy meeting to raise an issue not on the agenda. He declared, aides recalled, that the administration needed to more aggressively use executive power to govern in the face of Congressional obstructionism.
“We had been attempting to highlight the inability of Congress to do anything,” recalled William M. Daley, who was the White House chief of staff at the time. “The president expressed frustration, saying we have got to scour everything and push the envelope in finding things we can do on our own.”
…increasingly in recent months, the administration has been seeking ways to act without Congress.
Aides say many more such moves are coming.
Mr. Obama’s increasingly assertive use of executive action could foreshadow pitched battles over the separation of powers in his second term, should he win
Mr. Obama has issued signing statements claiming a right to bypass a handful of constraints
The Obama administration started down this path soon after Republicans took over the House of Representatives last year.
“I refuse to take ‘no’ for an answer,” Mr. Obama declared, beneath a “We Can’t Wait” banner. “
There would be no debate about Obamacare if Obama had 2 more custom installed picks in the SCOTUS. It would be a done deal. Obama could do anything he wanted and it would be assured to be held constitutional by his henchmen in black robes.
So, go ahead, make your symbolic vote for Ron Paul. It would be supremely ironic. Paulbots say that Ron Paul is the only guy in the world that can save America, and every vote for him will help destroy America forever.

I have been saying this out loud since Ron Paul first came on the scene:
A VOTE FOR rON pAUL IS A VOTE FOR OBAMA.
If RP actually cared about the country, and not himself, he would drop out and endorse the GOP candidate.

Well I’m sure Mitt Romney will be so supremely better than Obama that I will regret ever even thinking about voting for Ron Paul.

Congress doesn’t care that the POSOTUS is over-stepping his bounds and going around them: as long as their sweetheart Congressional salaries, perks, premium healthcare, and fat retirement checks keep coming…

Hannah, it’s the SCOTUS picks.
This isn’t at all about whether Romney would be a good president or not. He’s not going to fill the vacating Supreme Court holes with Sotomayor and Elana Kagan-types.
Obama will radicalize the court to the point that none of your votes will ever matter again, he has already shown what he will do with a court that is slightly, slightly to the right.
Solidly left and you will not recognize America.
This protest vote will ensure that.
Just remember that.

Oh I’m sorry I read the article but it didn’t click till just now.
What do you propose we do then?

After it became clear that we would not get a conservative as a nominee (and that was right around the time Bachmann imploded) I had already decided that my vote would be an anti-Obama vote, and I would be gleefully running to the voting booth to do it. I wouldn’t care if he was running against Ron Paul, Paul Stanley, or Stanley Roper.
I was thrilled when Andrew Breitbart said the same thing at CPAC.
Voting for Ron Paul as a write-in, or if he runs third party, is suicide, unless, of course, you agree with the America Obama wants and will get. There will be no undoing in four years no matter who we elect in 2016. The courts will be so left-wing everything will be declared constitutional.
Actually, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see the constitution declared unconstitutional.

I propose we campaign vigorously for Romney, unless Ron Paul can actually pull off his secret plan to hijack the delegate process.
At this point I don’t care if he does.
It would be fine with me.
We can’t have Obama win. Whatever it takes to make that happen it has to happen, even if it means abandoning your favored candidate.
I know that would be hard, but it would have to be done.

The is good advice, not just for Ron Paul supporters, but for everyone who is threatening to stay home on election day and not vote for anyone.
A vote for no one is the same as voting for Obummer. The SCOTUS is the main reason to vote for Romney.

It really is the 2008 election all over again. When are we going to stop voting for the lesser of two evils and actually get America back where it needs to be? If Mitt Romney doesn’t win then Obama can run rampant and destroy America because of the scotus I get that but who’s to say mitt Romney won’t do the same thing?

Romney, even though he’s not in my top 100 (he’s a few positions below Joe Leiberman) will certainly not pick radical left justices for the SCOTUS.
That isn’t even a consideration.
It’s 2008 again in one respect, you’re not enthused with the right’s choice, but it is far different in this respect – we’ve seen Obama govern. It’s imperative that we vote him out. So I won’t be holding my nose. I will be enthusiastically voting against him for a guy that has a legitimate shot at winning and blocking his agenda.
Ron Paul, as a write-in, has no shot whatsoever. A vote for him is a vote for Obama.
A protest vote to send a signal to the GOP is a very valid exercise. Just not at this point in history. We are at a crossroads that we’ve never been at before as a country. This really is the end game. We can’t screw around.

Hannah,
No disrespect meant, but you’re kidding, right? Tell me you’re joking.
The “hold your nose and vote” maneuver in the bedrock of this great land! There is ALWAYS somebody in the race who on 8-9 out of 10 issues, whatever those issues are, is waycloser to the values that you and your family hold near and dear than the other guy, and that’s who you HAVE to vote for.
Or not, but understand that writing in a Ron Paul and splitting the support for Romney will result in SCOTUS choices that will crush this country just as BFH has described. If the issue is “to thine own heart be true”, consider that your country is more important than you, or any of us, are.
BTW, I’m nearly fifty years old and the only time I haven’t held my nose and voted was when I got to vote for Ronald Reagan. God willing I’ll see a day when I can have an option like that again, but in the meantime, please buy yourself a clothespin and get in line.

I’m more concerned about fiscal policy and other Executive Branch actions.
I keep coming back to the fact that the Senate has to confirm whomever the President nominates for the Supreme Court.
After the 2008 election, the Democrat party controlled both houses of Congress as well as the White House. Electing Republicans to the Senate would put a stop to Leftist Supreme Court justices regardless of who is President.

It’s a fair bet that BOTH of us (even an old fart like me) will be dealing with “the leftards bull shit” longer than Ron Paul will.
Ron Paul is at an age where his biggest decision of the day should be “prunes” or “pudding”.
But I admire your fire. Your generation is going to need it!

Willard leans a bit too far to the left for my tastes, but at least he’s not a full-blown Marxist radical like Soetoro. In ’08 I voted for the Libertarian Party guy (whoever that was because I saw McCain as a hot-headed RINO moron) but not this time, no sirreee. A vote for ANYONE else is a vote for Soetoro.
Vote for Romney to get rid of Soetoro, then primary his a$$ in ’16 if he doesn’t fly straight.

The NY Times also praised Mussolini in 1938 about his glorious transformation of society via his rule by Fiat. I read the Times article, and the Libs commenting say that the obstructionist congress is hurting Obama’s vision of America and urging him to rule by executive order. It was a frightening thing to read that so many seemingly educated Americans are willing to sacrifice the Constitution and their rights and propel Obama’s path to dictatorship.

Thanks Chief.
Also, if I’d even had the tiniest clue in ’08 about who Sarah Palin really was and what she was all about I would have voted for McCain.
ChiefIlliniCake
April 23rd, 2012
It doesn’t matter now, because the simple fact is McCain didn’t want it badly enough to bring the fight to Obama. He was more concerned with his senior statesman status and his notion of personal civility.
Still pisses me off!
It didn’t matter what Sarah did…you can’t win if ya can’t fight.

When 75% or more of your so-called countrymen put a couple of left-wing statists at the top of the ballot while a true American like Sarah Palin is relegated to doing “The Today Show,” it’s time to sit back and fiddle while America burns. That’s all I have to say about this fucking non-election.
@Hannah, I’m sorry you were born too late to see America they way it used to be.

@Chief, I can pull all sorts of levers and punch all kinds of chads at the voting booth. But the majority rules here. If the majority wants to embrace the slavery and injustice of Obama’s and Romney’s big government policies, what’s the use? Either way, in four years we’ll be stuck with another no-win, left-vs-left election. And every new generation of voters is leftist-indoctrinated. This battle has to take place in the minds of Americans, not the voting booth. That battle is over. Statism won. Freedom lost.
When your choices are Hitler or Eichmann, you don’t vote for the lesser evil. You look for Allied bombers.

I get it, but I have to put on a brave face. I’ve got too many people relying on me to slip into overt negativity. But it’s a battle, my friend.
Plus, given the fact that WE were the Allied bombers, who’s going to come and save us?
So I’m voting for Romney because he may be a lot of things, but Obama is the Devil Himself. That much I do know.

I support romney but we really dont havea choice. Ron Paul will have enough delegates to screw the convention. once the brokering gets done and romney gets the nomination were still stuck with all the paul followers vowing a no vote. There are enough paul supporters to screw romney give the election to Obama. Since it is more important to get obama OUT then romney in wouldnt it make more sense to get the old coot in there. Its not like he can screw that much up. At least he cut some welfare and spend on defense..
