I Blame Ron Paul for Republican Loss

Ron Paul was never given the chance to win. He would have easily defeated Obama. The neocons are the ones to blame.

The US Constitution is the document which needs to be put back on display. We the people are not free.

Exactly!! Truth be told, RP mopped romneys ass and should have been the republican candidate, he would have then mopped Barrys ass too! We dont have any say in the elections anymore.

He can't win with the American voters. To much of a "nerd". You really think the average American can even begin to understand why returning to the gold standard would be good for the American economy?

You have to make up scary things like "shipping your jobs to China" or "wants to take away your abortion if your a rape victim" to scare people into voting for you. Crucial, esoteric policy discussions on National Debt, taxation and the gold standard just flies over way too many people's heads.

Yep. Conservative were disenchanted with this choice and either stayed home or voted for Johnson.

And sad to say, Ron Paul is less charismatic than Dukakis! He would have gotten killed by Obama.

So, Ron Paul not treating voters like idiots lost the Republicans the race? What happened to the Sheen/Lohan ticket, that would be perfect.

Op is a neo liberal who thinks he's conservative because thats what his team tells him on the nightly news...or rush..etc

he knows nothing about a true REPUBLIC

-saying no to the banking cartel (the elephant in the room)
-states rights
-no foreign entanglements
-adherence to the constitution on all matters
-small government...


you know all things..that any "republican" (really gay liberal white guy masquerading) will not stare down

Paul wanted to go after the fed....

HIs policy is very easy to understand. Stop printing money out of thin air and hyperinflating our currency for the destruction of our republic. A foriegn policy that is humble, one in which we do not interject ourselves into the affairs of other nations, bring our troops home and use that money to free ourselves from the moneymasters. And allow the states to govern themselves, less federal governing where the power is in the hands of few and return the power to it's intention, the many. We are suffering from the television, years back there were only papers and text to read, the handsome and stupid had not a chance, now that is all we have.

Control our own currency and bring our troops home, allow the states to govern themselves, simple really.

Yes. His small government, financially responsible policies are a huge influence on the Republican party, and Romney and Paul Ryan took a cue from him. They became policy wonks talking about the importance of lowering taxation and national debt and deficit spending. Such talk goes over the heads of most voters. They have no clue what your talking about. It always has and always will. You have to appeal to emotion and fear to win. Sorry.

No it is not, to the average American voter. You think they really have a clue between the relationship between printing money and inflation, and how printing money/inflation is just reverse taxation?

You have to scare the voters and appeal to their emotions, not appeal to their reason. Appealing to the voter's reason has never ever worked.

If you have two dollars, and the coffee costs a dollar then the coffeee is a dollar. Then you print up enough money out of the air, and you now have four dollars the coffee will now cost two dollars., and it goes on

as you print more however, people lose faith in that dollar and then you are fucked, ask every nation that has EVER tried fiat currency

fiat currency is just dollars that have nothing to make them valuable besides some banks and governments.

No no, that's too long and hard for most voters to think about, and it vaguely requires math too. So it will go in one ear and out the other.

You have to say things like "Romney only supports rich white people" and "free Obamaphones for everyone" and "Romney wants to take away woman's rights" to affect voters.

Unfortunately Republicans did not do this enough. Its easy enough, could have said things like "Obama is bankrupting the country" (which he is) and "Your children will starve to death because of Obama's debts". Unfortunately, Republicans got too caught up in facts and figures, like, Obama increased the national debt by 6 trillion dollars and your child will have to pay off $200,000 in debt because of Obama's debts. Most voters have trouble comprehending basic financial facts and figures as these.

I agree, hope he and Gary Johnson are pleased with the results this morning. And all those that voted for Johnson, the surgical center at John Hopkins can maybe reattach that nose you bit off yesterday.

The Ron Paul movement never was about the vote fraud and the media fraud.

It was about the idea of who is in charge of you.

REAL CLEAR the answer.

This is like Obama blaming all his fuck ups on Bush.

Well, it worked for Obama, so you might as well go for it I guess.

I for one am OK with this as the collapse will sit squarely on the DEMS and we still have a path to liberty later on.

I voted for Ron Paul in Ohio. I am glad Obama will get to finish destroying the country and the GOP is dead as a party. All hail CHAOS!

You can't blame Ron Paul. Corporate America is not gonna push a candidate they are not able to influence or control.

God is getting ready to force every knee to the ground, every eye toward heaven, and every voice to proclaim that he is king of kings and lord of lords.

Always darkest before the dawn.

No, Ron Paul did NOT cause the GOP Loss.

It was the GOP's corruption in the way that they treated Dr. Paul that caused their loss.

I am admittedly a Ron Paul supporter. But had it been a fair contest and Ron Paul had lost, then I would have willingly backed Romney.

But as far back as the Iowa straw poll in 2011, the GOP and the media did everything they could to destroy him. (For a refresher on the Iowa Straw Poll, see Jon Stewart's take on it on his show of August 15th, 2011)

And all through the primaries and caucuses, there was rampant corruption and fraud. Again, for more evidence, see the Ben Swann "Reality Check" videos on YouTube from his coverage on Cincinnati Channel 19.

Then there was the GOP convention. The rules were that if a candidate won 5 states their name could be placed into nomination on the first ballot. But the GOP tried to change that to 10 states because they didn't want his name even mentioned during the roll call. When they didn't work they changed it to 8 states. Then to guarantee they would pass they kidnapped the Virginia delegates so that they weren't present on the convention floor when the vote was taken.

Oh, didn't hear that or don't believe me. Again, do your research and see for yourself that it did happen.

Then they changed the rules for 2016, allowing the main voter getter to approve or disapprove and replace any of the delegates committed to their opponents! And the voice vote was fake, as video of the teleprompter showed that the script already said "the ayes have it". (again, see the Ben Swann videos to discuss this and the kidnapping)

What these actions mean is that the GOP has destroyed the tea party and any grass roots movement - the party will be run from the top down and not the bottom up.

It'll be like Castro's Cuba or Saddam's Iraq - 99% of the votes are for the dictator. Wonderful party unity for the candidate TPTB want.

This is why I and I am sure many others sat out the election. THE GOP IS CORRUPT. Ron Paul would have upset their own little Tammany Hall and they had to do anything to stop that - by hook or by crook.

^^^ This

"I Blame Ron Paul for Republican Loss" a ridiculous statement!

I think the "people" were ready for Ron Paul.....it was the corrupt manipulated party that denied his success. Corporate amerika and isreal were terrified of what he represents.....an intelligent thinking politician who couldn't be bought!

I think those Republicans that talked about abortion might have had some influence. Single women voted overwhelmingly for Obama.

I love Ron Paul but I don't believe this for a second. The election was STOLEN last night. This country has turned into a banana republic. Soros and his vote counting crew were cranking out the ballots for their puppet.

We all saw it coming. Just look at the prior threads talking about Soros buying the Spanish company who were counting the votes.

You should thank Ron Paul for opening your eyes and exposing the real problems in our government and offering solutions, and chastising yourself for letting your eyelids close again.

How can ANYONE say the election was stolen, with a straight face! I know you don't really believe that. Romney was doomed from the start. He was despised by the far-right wing of the party, and he's not an appealing candidate. I've seen fewer bumper stickers, yard signs, etc. for Romney/Ryan than I have for any Republican presidential ticket EVER!

RON PAUL'S GOT BALLS!!!!....and a giant sack to hold 'em in.

So you think that because Americans are not sharp enough that it's Ron Pauls fault cause they don't think properly?

The problem then would not be with Ron Paul, but with educating the public.

I'd roll it back to the Articles of Confederation, personally.
