"plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose"

Ron Paul with Sean Hannity discussing the economy and the election. Paul talks about the lack of attention he receives, if he is not ignored altogether. Paul says he and his staff were "annoyed" by the fact that he only received 89 seconds to speak at the last Republican debate.
Paul warned his Republican colleagues in the Congress that they better keep their pledge to not raise taxes. He says if they do "capitulate" on taxes then people will make them pay.
"I have no intention of doing that," Paul says of a third-party run if he doesn't get the Republican nomination. However, when asked several times by Hannity to rule out an independent bid, he would not.

Libertarians are Liberals.
Libertarians care more about being Socially Liberal than they do about being Fiscally Conservative.
If a Libertarian runs a strong third party campaign, it just means that votes are siphoned away from the Republican.
This is how Obama gets his second term.
We’ve been here before.
Bill Clinton became president with 43% of the vote.
Is vote for roupaul over mittens or zero in the general...
Flame away.
Is vote for roupaul over mittens or zero in the general...
Flame away.
YUP! Ross Perot.
I would walk ten miles uphill in the snow barefooted to vote for Dr Ron.
Give me a Mittens/Gingrich ticket and I'll be voting for Paul.
I heard the interview, and Paul isn’t going to run. He kept repeating he had no intention or plans to run and didn’t want to. Hannity kept on asking if he would say that under absolutely no circumstances would he run, and Paul kept saying he had no intention to run.
Stupid radio and a useless line of inquiry. If there is any out at all involved in the “no intention”/”no plans” response it would probably involve developments about as remote as an invasion by space aliens. Paul will stay on the reservation if for no other reason than to help Rand’s prospects for the future.
A vote for IndyPaul is a vote for four more years of Zero...
That’s probably why he’s not ruling it out. If Romney is on the ticket, the GOP will be in real turmoil with the base, and Rep. Paul would have good reason to run as an independent.
And in 1968, a vote for Nixon ended up being a vote for Johnson, the same inept handling of Vietnam, none of the Great Society was repealed and in fact Nixon created the EPA.
So says you. I see a hell of a lot of people that flat out refuse to vote for mittens.
You have that right! But Ron Paul is already siphoning votes from real contenders. The GOP isn’t going to elect a Libertarian like Paul. He knows it, but gets to keep the money after his failed bid. Doesn’t matter what his numbers look like in Iowa. Paul is a non-starter.
Have you considered keeping your shoes on and driving up the hill?
Never mind, walking barefooted in the snow might be ‘normal’ for Paul supporters.
Even the threat of this makes me ill.
And a vote for Romney/Gingrich is a vote for four years of Romney/Gingrich.
If there is a RINO on the GOP ticket, I’m voting 3rd Party by writing in Sarah Palin as my choice for President.
I refuse to vote for mittens under ANY circumstance. If Dr. Paul runs obey, though he HAS said he will NOT, I will vote for him if mittens is the nominee. Is that clear enough?
If the nominee is anyone BUT Dr. Paul, Obummer stands a good chance of getting reelected and CWII starting...
Yes, GOP should NOT cave on taxes, no conservatives are not going to back Paul.
