Why the Ron Paul Campaign is Dangerous
NewsBull ^ | November 11, 2007 | JB Williams

I hate wasting this much press time on Ron Paul. But the Paul campaign is becoming a real threat to the Republican primary process and if allowed to continue, he will take votes away from the most conservative Republican candidates in the party, not the most liberal. This is bad for the party and the country.

(snip)

So, how Republican is Republican candidate Ron Paul?

If he’s funded largely by anti-war leftists, from Democrat stronghold districts and counting on Democrats, Libertarians and members of the Green Party to win the Republican nomination, not very…

"They CAN botch the RNC nomination process by doing the same things they have been doing to online polls."

I don't buy it. First off from a national standpoint virtually nobody votes in online polls. Thus a very few paulistinians can sit and vote for their guy over and over for hours and influence them. That won't work in primaries where (for the most part) you only get to vote once. Paul's numbers are so infintesimal his kook supporters can't influence jack.

How odd. According to this site, Paul is irrelevant yet dangerous. I wonder how that can be....

As unstable as RINO Paul is, his supporters are even worse.

All they have to do is spam a few of the early primary states with open primaries...

And they have plenty of support across the aisle. Just not in the legitimate Republican Party.

There is no Ron Paul problem unless he ran as a third party candidate.

The other issue is the stupid or child minded third party voters/non-voters.
Some people are permanently ignorant and are doomed to repeat their mistakes over and over because they are THAT DUMB.

Look for the self righteous dumb voters to help Hillary by not voting Republican as some moronic version of a protest vote or non-vote.

These people are just plain stupid and don’t get that if you don’t get the Republican in, you get the fire breathing Hillary who will not give us conservative judges, less taxes and less social programs.

Some people are going to be dimwits again and I bet they will boast of their stupidity here on FR after they did it like they believe they were being heroes instead of the morons they really are.

Tampering with the election process at a tiome when elections are desided by only a couple points...

Tampering with the party nomination process... is always dangerous.

but it’s more likely that the split between Mitt, mccain, fred and Huck will end up with a rudy win. either way, the GOP will not have a candidate that’s soft on terror. It would be a different story if all the dems switched parties just to vote for RP but I doubt they would have the guts to vote for a pro-life Texan who wants to abolish social security just to end a war that we are almost finished with.

Hitlery is a Stalinist, not a pacifist. She would love to win a war.

I don’t want you to make RP seem more relevant and powerful than he actually is. If you do that, the MSM will pump him up even more as the “threat to the GOP” It’s best to ignore these guys so that they don’t think too much of themselves

He’s only dangerous if he tars Republicans with the old racist/antisemite tag. As to actual votes, he rarely exceeds the margin of error in any poll. If conservatives votes are split in the primary, it’s a function of multiple quality candidates, all but Guiliani. Paul won’t be a factor, and a 3rd party run will likely draw as much from the left as the right, particularly if a reborn pro-war Hillary is the nominee.

I’ve been out of town all weekend, but the Paulistinians make the Deaniacs from four years ago look stable.
