Ron Paul Considering 2012 Presidential Run in Another Third Party Campaign
Chattah Box ^

Posted on 07/09/2010 5:49:12 AM PDT by mnehring

U.S. (ChattahBox) – Be prepared for more annoying copy/paste ‘Vote Ron Paul’ comments on every forum, message board, media site, and news source. Ron Paul has announced that he is official considering a 2012 run for president, CNN reports.

The Texas Republican Rep. has run in the past, and he hasn’t gotten far. Though having a small group of extremely loyal supporters, most of which are Independent or Libertarian voters, he is unable to garner enough support for a GOP nomination.

As for running on a third party docket, that has never gone well for any politician. It is doubtful his chances for a 2012 run will be much better.

Maybe. Whatever the case, they have lousy grammar. "Is official considering"?

Good grief, man, it looks like you're posting an article written by third graders. Who're flunking English, at that.

i acutally voted for him in the NC primary. I didn’t like Huckabee and I couldn’t bring myself to vote for McCrap. McCrap had already wrapped it up.

Well, if he does, then we can probably rest assured that Obama will be a two term President rather than the one termer he seems to be destined to be.

Third party movements are for idiots. It has been attempted about 75 times and been successful once, but you can count on the third partiers to point to that single success 150 years ago and ignore the 74 subsequent failures.

Whats that they say about the definition of insanity? /rolleyes

As a general rule, if you plan to criticize the grammar of an article, it is good form to check your own before you click post.

His own history suggests he's not going to have any loyalty to the party he supposedly represents.

He's run as an independent before, and in 2008, he threw his endorsement behind another nut case, Chuck Baldwin.

I know of several loonies on FR who voted for Baldwin as a result, did you vote for him as well?

Dude, relax, we know that you don’t want him to run, especially as a third party.. you are on friendly ground here. You are a noob so you should understand, exposing and mocking the cult of Paul is somewhat of a sport here. His little cult has these delusions of grander about him being some sort of perfect Conservative the way Fred Phelp’s followers think he is some sort of perfect Christian.

Most of us have dealt with him for decades before this past election cycle and know his real game. Don’t take these articles too seriously lest you get so obsessive, you accidentally become one of his.

Good grief man, you argue just like a liberal, focusing on "grammar" (clearly a typo, but don't allow that to get in the way of a good Paulbearer distortion) rather than substance.

I've noticed that libertarians frequently argue in the same manner as do liberals, short on substance, long on diversion and nitpicking, short on actual facts.

Don't forget Ralph Nader and Cynthia McKinney.

Isn’t he going to be 85 years old or something ridiculous for a White House Run?

I’m sure all the press conferences will be graced with speeches that begin: “When I was your age....”
