Paul is the only vote who can beat Obama

| February 9, 2012 6:00 AM

Ron Paul supporters, you know they’re Ron Paul or nothing. Thus making it almost impossible for whoever the Republican nominee would be to get the votes needed to beat Obama

One of three things is going to happen:

1. Ron Paul doesn’t get the nomination and runs as a third party candidate: The new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll suggests Ron Paul would win 18 percent as a third-party candidate running against Obama and Romney. Obama wins.

2. Ron Paul drops out: fervent and stubborn Ron Paul supporters stay home or write him in. Obama wins.

3. Ron Paul gets the GOP nomination. Ron Paul gets the following voters:

A. 2008 Obama voters who thought they were going to get “change,”

B. 2008 Obama voters who voted to end the wars,

C. The vast majority of the independent vote,

D. The entire GOP voting block who dislikes Obama enough to vote for Ron Paul instead.

E. Ron Paul supporters coming out to vote in droves. Ron Paul wins.)

The fact is, Ron Paul has a 30-year record of upholding individual freedom, rights, liberty, based on the Constitution. He opposes the corrupt over-powered federal government with things like the privacy invasion of the TSA, the Patriot Act, the Fourth Amendment-killing NDAA bill, the internet censorship bill SOPA, the racist and corrupt “war on drugs,” and the unjust wars in the Middle East.

Ron Paul is the only one fighting against those issues. Ron Paul is the only vote that can beat Obama, pulling votes from all parties.
