Ron Paul supporters ... How are we to overcome the people who say ron paul is unelectable ?

Question

what are you doing to show that Ron Paul is electable if you support him?

he voted to go after those responsible for 9/11- he is for streamlining many of the agencies which have overlapping responsibilities and streamlining them so they work with less bureaucracy (unlike homeland security which creates more and costs more ) and intelligence will go into the right hands quicker -so he is definitely for a much more secure America - but without putting fear into citizens lives and taking away their liberties

why would a man isolate the united staes when he wrote a book called "a Foreign policy of peace, friendship and commerce" and just for the record he is not a pacifist but he will not go to war without a declaration from congress because he believes that is an abuse of executive privelege as per the constitution -as for you stating he would eliminate many federal agencies that is true many of them do the same job as another dept and is overkill where he would combine them and anything that is permanently eliminated would be phased out slowly and not without a contingency plan unlike many of the things our current leadership in congress and white house fail to do today

Answer 1

The reason people say this is that the mainstream media keeps saying this. What we need to do is make them realize that the MSM is pushing for what they want, which is no change at all. So they continue to say he is unelectable, a kook, blah blah. Show people that he is one of the few who is actually looking for change to help all of us, and more come on board.

Just remember that some people are unchangeable

And could someone please explain how he against the basic human rights of life, liberty and property? Last I checked, he was the only person defending them.

Answer 2

Show those people this:

Maybe they should take a look at this index that tracks popularity, at least for the internet.

According to this, Ron Paul, at least on the net and for the moment, is the most popular republican. I know there are a lot of people out there who vote that use the internet much, if at all, but it's something (I mean, A LOT of people use the internet).

And in response to a lot of people answering:

UGH what is wrong with a lot of you that are bashing Ron Paul? I don't have a problem with people having opposing viewpoints, but I have a problem if people are spouting bs, obviously you haven't read anything up about him besides little blurbs about what some neo-con has said. He is a constitutional republican unlike most republicans these days, which are neo-conservatives. He is a libertarian conservative, which is under conservative, which is under republican. Sheesh.

Answer 3

He is raising money like it grows on trees, he is at 10.4 million so far in the 4th quarter and I guarantee Dec.16th will at surpass the Nov.5th . By Dec. 31st I really think he is going to top 15 million for the 4th quarter. This is real grass roots support. This money is from everyday working Americans, not PAC money. When he starts to out raise the front runners people will start to take notice.


Not only did he support going after Al Quaida for 9/11 but he requested when the decision was being made that Congress should Declare War, and nobody else would support this.,

Answer 4

I just tell people that he has the best chance here is why

there are a what 5 or 6 canidates with the same view on Iraq and major key issues. Ron paul is the only canidate against the war he has 100% of these votes. the other neocons and the dems that have hijacked our party will be dividing there vote ron paul is the canidate that stands out by far. dont pay attention to these polls just vote and we will see what happens.

Answer 5

Well, one person who I know is very guilty of this is Sean Hannity. He tells his audience almost daily that although Paul is a good candidate, he can not possibly win, so there is no use supporting him. I think we need to call his show (which is listened to by millions) every day to try and sway him back to the light. He is ruining Ron Paul's chances by telling America he has no chance when he really does.

RON PAUL in 08!!

Answer 6

I answer that question very simply... What! Haven't you heard...where have you been... no ones voting for Julianie, no ones voting for Thoms-cons, no ones voting for Mitt Morman, or even John McCan't... and Hucabyebye has no delagates, none of theses men are electable, people are tired of liars, thieves and media puppets. Don't you know everyone is voting for Ron Paul! You better get caught up quick before the neo-cons end up with your bank accounts, your children futures and your vote too! You'll be really proud of yourself then won't you?

Answer 7

The media the two skipped over him or purely confirmed factors that made him look undesirable. the super funds Republicans have been at the back of Romney and Paul became into the final Republican to bow out. i think of his stance on isolationism made him look undesirable and out of touch with fact and that harm him because of the fact ignoring what different all and sundry is doing could desire to be deadly in the event that they plan on attacking the U. S.. maximum of his factors have been valid, yet as long as the two events painted him as reactionary he could desire to no longer triumph over all those stumbling blocks. i think of he could have made a much extra advantageous president than the two Obama and Romney.

Answer 8

I have to say that Ron Paul is better than most of the Democratic candidates. However, the same is not true of Republican candidates. I like his economics, I like his wanting the govt to back off a little on war, on healthcare, and etc. But what if we are attacked again? Im not entirely sure he will hunt down those responsible, wlthough I hope he would.

Answer 9

Sorry but I don't see how you can. The cold hard facts are that even though Paul has continually raise higher amounts, his number haven't gone up.

Unfortunately the people that are elected are the "mainstream" candidates. Paul isn't, and wouldn't want to be, mainstream. From what I have seen, he isn't your regular candidate (complement).

While Paul has some good ideas (e.g., stay with the constitution), he is very radical in others (e.g., eliminate FBI, CIA, etc...).

Look, I'm being honest - no Paul bashing. As a PERSON, Paul would be good since he has character. In spite of the good ideas and his character, I can't support him.

Answer 10

He's not an isolationalist, he's what we were successfully for a long time as a nation... a NON-INTERVENTIONALIST.

That's the first reason he's electable. Secondly, I would feel safer having our military back HERE in the U.S.... guarding our borders, and there to help out whenever WE needed them.

He would start trading with other nations, only not be out to screw them in the *** in the long term. He wouldn't be power hungry, he'd be good-policy hungry, and that's the best kinda help we NEED in the world right now. We need friends again around the world. Not Europe whose only tagging along, because they're scared of losing our alliance.

They wouldn't need to be scared of us anymore, for our foreign policy wouldn't be hi-jacked anymore (P.S. A Hi-jacked American Foreign Policy is a VERY SCARY THING to US and other nations around this whole world.)

He'd go back to working FOR US... and not the establishment full of Elites.

God it feels like Rome!! ... when did it come to this.
