I cant cosign RON PAUL because...

(1/4) > >>

King Tech Quadafi:
this fool wont run as an independent

i think this guy is the fuckin man, hes a breath of fresh air. i support some of his views strongly

but the fact that he refuses to run as an independent, severely undermines his ability to get his views across. u know how much press time he would get if he was indy? he would easily be the strongest indy candidate in decades

his refusal to do it, means, in my eyes hes half assing it

ron paul heads, convince me otherwise

I really wish he'd run, and get a Green person too, so we can have 4 canidates for president. Personally, if Hillary wins the Dem nomination, I'm either voting independent, or Green.

Teddy Roosevelt:
I'm not sure I understand your reasoning, Tech. You say it undermines his ability to get his view across, but how does someone get his views across better then running on one of the 2 major political parties in the United States? Personally, I think he would consider going independent if he doesn't get the Republican nomination, but to say that would hurt his chances of getting voted the Republican candidate.

makes sense

but hes outright refusing it, so my whole thing is. why run as a fringe candidate for some wacko party that you wont even close to winning, and at best youll get one or two lines worth of coverage when you can run independent and get your point across much more effectively

i guess im being presumptious. we;ll see, wa gwan, after the primaries

He wouldn't run if he didn't think he'd have a chance at winning. He is starting to gain in the polls and is raising money like crazy. What matters in campaign strategy. I'd say he has a better chance at winning the Republican nomination then winning the presidency as an Independent (but that's just me). And if he runs as an Independent the fact that he ran as a Republican first and appeared in all the debates just boosts his name recognition. He's already had more media coverage then any Independent so far.
