If Dr. Paul had won the 2012 Republican nomination...

[Anarchist420]

... what do you think the popular vote percentages would've been?

I think Dr. Paul would've made anywhere from 39-51%. Barry Goldwater got about 40%. I think that Dr. Paul would've had a much better campaign than Romney did which is why I think the former could've made 51%. He also may have made a higher percentage than Romney because more blacks would've voted for him. Dr. Paul also would've had more on Obama than Romney did since the latter two were so similar to each other.

Dr. Paul was the last beacon of light that America ever saw and it's a shame that too many didn't recognize him as such. We're about to have Hillary Clinton v. Chris Christie in 2016 and then all hope is lost... forever.

Thomas Jefferson would not be happy.

It's like asking if Gerald Anderson had won the republican nomination what would his popular vote have been.

Oh, who is Gerald Anderson, you say? Exactly, nobody gives a shit.

Concur.

I dont think Ron Paul would have won the popular vote, since he didnt win the nomination. If he had won the nomination that would imply that the system ISNT corrupt, which would then imply that America wouldnt need a savior because the other candidates would have this countries best interest in mind as well.

Since our system is corrupt and the sheeple are all asleep there is no need to wonder "what if" since it is impossible.

Mr. Paul has a bright future in infomercials.

In an election against Paul, I think Obama would have carried North Carolina and Indiana.
Popular vote: Obama 65% Paul 35%
Electoral vote: Obama 358 Paul 180

If Ron Paul had somehow, someway managed the Republican nomination, he would have lost worse than Romney did.

I'm not so sure. It clearly seems that he has a hard time getting large groups of people to buy the crap he sells. That's the point of this thread isn't it?

I think the result would have been much more lopsided in Obama's favor. With the nomination would have come scrutiny and more voters would have paid attention to Paul's nutty ideas thus sinking his ship.

I fail to see how abiding by the constitution and promoting the morals that America was founded on is "nutty".

The US has moved beyond slavery and fear of the British monarchy.

Now all we have to fear is our own government. Who is in turn afraid of us, why do you think hussein is pushing to ban "assault weapons"?

You should take your own advice. Alex Jones can give you a big shot of reality if you are looking for something free. Otherwise I suggest you wake up and open your eyes.

No, I fear that, when I finally get around to watching the rest of Season 2 and 3 of My Little Pony, I'll find that the character writing just won't be up to season 1's standard.
Season 1 was just great. At the beginning of season 2 it was like whoever was now writing was running around like a chicken with their head cut off. It was obvious they didn't understand the characters.

ah, Alex Jones.... who like Ron Paul can make many good points and then shit them away in the next breath, totally undermining anything they wanted to say...

The Speaker of the House, John Boehner, is at least talking the right fight. He is so sick of Government spending, and has been for a long while.

Has he been able to win elections, motivate people, like Gingrich did, no. But he is positioned well, and if he can garner any sort of support and understanding from the people, HE would be good for America.

Somebody has been listening to nothing but conservative talk...

I am looking at where we are today. John Boehner, is a very big part of why we are here today (for better, or worse.)

The simple fact is, John Boehner appears to be the only man alive that can stop Obama's Socialist Agenda.

Then you can celebrate as Obama has no socialist agenda.

 

[Zorkorist]

I don't know how you can say that with a straight face, after Obama has successfully, Socialized Medicine.

No, you are being deceived by a propaganda machine. Boehner does nothing but make wild, unsupported assertions for play on Fox News. All he does is fear-monger -- "The Democrats are out to get you, so vote Republican!" It's just an election strategy, and it works quite well on the uneducated. Congrats for falling for it.
