Hmmm..
So. Mark Levin has returned from vacation, and in his
characteristic low-key style has immediately announced he would not
ignore the elephant in the room that everyone else seems to be so
desperately trying to ignore.
The elephant in the room?
That would be?
That would be Congressman Ron Paul’s refusal to rule out a
third party run for president if he loses the Republican
presidential nomination. And the not so coincidental relationship
Levin sees with Senator Rand Paul’s future career.
Considering that Congressman Paul has already once left
the GOP — with much fanfare in 1987 — and then shown up as
the Libertarian Party candidate for president in 1988, he has
already amply demonstrated his willingness play hardball politics
and throw the GOP under the bus if he doesn’t get his way. In the
December 16th debate with other GOP candidates
Paul was
asked the question directly and refused to rule it out. Wrote
Boston Globe reporter Michael Levenson of Paul’s debate
refusal to rule out a third party run:
Paul has made similar comments in the past. On “Meet the Press,”
last Sunday, for example, he said he was not thinking about a
third-party run, but left the option open.
“I have enough on my plate right now,” Paul said. “We have
a lot of campaigning to do. We’re going to be very busy the next
couple of weeks. That’s what I’m concentrating on, and we’ll see
what happens.”
Meaning, even as Iowans go to their Caucuses tonight Paul
refuses to say he will accept the verdict of the conservative
rank-and-file voting base of the party if he doesn’t like the
verdict in Iowa and the succeeding primaries.
Two things.
First, in an
interview with ABC’s Terry Moran, Paul admits to Moran that,
well, gee, no. Actually he — Ron Paul — doesn’t really see Ron
Paul in the Oval Office. But in spite of this admission to Moran,
Paul is not ruling out a third party run, as he made in
1988.
Second. Mark Levin has raised a serious point of interest
here that didn’t apply when Paul left the GOP the first time to run
third party. This time there is another Paul in the picture —
Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul, Ron Paul’s son.
Taking his cue from Ron Paul’s willingness to play hard
ball with the GOP, Levin played right back. Said
Levin:
Let me make myself clear. I love my country. I love the
Constitution. I love my family. And I believe with all my heart and
soul that four more years of Obama is a disaster to all three of
them.
And if some egomaniac who knows he cannot win chooses to
run as a third party, I will do everything in my power, as limited
as it is, to fight them every damn step of the way. And — if Ron
Paul decides that he is going to go third party, which is
detrimental to this nation, and pulls a million votes — which is
relatively insignificant in the big scheme of things — I will do
everything in my power to defeat his son in Kentucky. I will do
everything in my power to defeat his son Rand Paul in
Kentucky.
Wow. Hardball indeed.
Mixing metaphors that’s not only calling attention to the
elephant in the room, it’s getting the elephant’s attention with a
Louisville slugger right between the eyes.
Rand Paul, unlike father Ron, is a conservative favorite.
And displaying a superb sense of family values Senator Paul has
been out there working his heart out for his father in a standard
intra-party nomination skirmish. For that Rand Paul should be
applauded. No one should ever expect other than loyalty of a son to
a father, and Rand Paul has shown himself to be stellar in this
area.
The problem, though, is the obvious. If Ron Paul loses the
GOP nomination as all but one other as yet undetermined candidate
will do — and leaves the GOP for a second time to run as a third
party nominee, re-electing Obama as a result — this no longer
becomes a question of son/father loyalty in an intra-party primary
fight. It will in fact morph instantly into an issue of Ron Paul’s
disloyalty to a GOP that took him back after he left the first time
— and provided him with all the benefits of party membership as a
Member of Congress. And in that case — if a Republican senator,
son or no son — indicates he too will abandon the GOP for a third
party and that third party is seen as re-electing a socialist
president, Levin’s point instantly kicks in.
The entire Kentucky electorate will be turned upside down
as Republicans and conservatives all around the country seek to do
in Senator Paul’s re-election — both as a Republican or anything
else. It would be decidedly un-pretty — and a decided and entirely
purposeless waste of a promising Senate career that could in fact
lead to a later Rand Paul nomination for president.
So Levin has, in typical style, called Ron Paul
out.
What happens after all the caucus and primary ballots are
counted — and Not Ron Paul is the GOP nominee?
We’ll see, won’t we?
In the meantime, kudos to Mark Levin for getting the
subject out there for discussion. For forthrightly tying the future
career of Rand Paul to the current post-nomination career of Ron
Paul.
This is why Mark Levin has such a loyal audience. He never
ducks.

If that's the case, Margie, let me get this straight because "Conservative" apparently doesn't mean what it used to. Nowadays, it means you can CLAIM to be a CONSERVATIVE when it comes to domestic issues even though you may not really be (right, Mr. Rick Santorum?) At the same time, you must be a LIBERAL when it comes to foreign policy and allow the government to flush the hard-earned money you pay in taxes down the toilet in the name of "national security," in the process denying people in other countries of their God-given rights by straddling them with "Made in the USA" dictators. Only then can you truly call yourself a conservative, according to Mark Levin.
Did I sum that up right, Margie? Instead of being pro-Israel, why don't you try being pro-USA first? Then you can be pro-Israel all you want as long as you don't drag me into it if I choose not to follow. You never know, I may actually choose to follow and it would be by my own free-will. What a concept!

ROFL, it does not matter if Ron Paul runs 3rd party or not. If, Ron Paul does not get the nominaton, Obama gets 4 more years.
The only candidate who has the right bold ideas is Ron Paul and, only Ron Paul can beat Obama.
If, 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 DROVESand, a machine like no other for the General Elections! (No other candidate can compete against Obama's machine but Ron Paul! Wake Up People!)
(F) Same-sex couples who want to be set free.
(G) Democratic, disillusioned Anti-Drug war voters.
(H) Libertarians.
(I) Youth Vote (Obama has lost them to Ron Paul but, if RP does not get the nomination, they will go back to Obama)
Also, keep in mind, that the Independents have the largest voting block in this country. Republicans and Democrats are the minorities. For the GOP to attack the only candidate on the GOP ticket that can beat Obama is truly insane!
The GOP did not learn anything from 2008. They keep doing the same thing over and over expecting different results! Only idiots do that!
Listen up MINORITY GOP...If, you do not get behind Ron Paul, YOU WILL get 4 more years of Obama! GUARANTEED!!!!!!!!
No Ron Paul supporter will vote for any other GOP Candidate. Independents will go back to Obama as will the disenfranchised Democrats and the youth vote!

Apparently, you do not spend any time looking at the poll results which shows consistently that Paul polls 1st or 2nd best against Obama, is the only one who beats Obama with Independents, and is the only one capable of pulling a significant portion of disaffected liberals and progressives. Those are evidence by actual poll results. What evidence do you have to back your silly claim that he has no chance?

" Ron Paul Maintains Lead in Latest PPP Iowa Poll
Survey shows broad support, strong organization
LAKE JACKSON, Texas, Jan 02, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- 2012 GOP Presidential candidate Ron Paul is leading Iowa according to a new PPP poll released yesterday evening, with 20 percent of the vote. The survey has Paul also leading among Independents and Democrats with 30 percent of the vote, more than twice that of the nearest challenger.
"As evidenced by the standing-room only crowds, Ron Paul has broad support and a top notch ground organization," said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton. "Despite a coordinated assault by the establishment, Congressman Paul is in the lead and headed toward a top finish in the Hawkeye state."
This comes on the heels of a CNN/Time poll which showed Ron Paul strong against President Obama. Highlights from the poll include Paul besting Obama 47 to 46 percent among those 65 years and older, said to be the most reliable voters. Paul also beats Obama among persons who reside in rural areas 52 to 44 percent and with Independents 48 to 47 percent. "

The majority of independents I am in contact with do not support RP but that's my small world, I am smart enough not to extrapolate that to the Indy masses, you seem to think you are....RP's foreign policy is a show stopper for me...no that does not make me a neocon.

Polls, really? The only poll that will matter is on election day, I highly doubt Ron Paul will be on the ballot as the GOP nominee...he may decide to run independent and will hand the race to Obama. Maybe you are ok with that, not me.
I don't put faith in polls, certainly not at the national level, to have a chance at any meaning they must be state by state and we have to know details about the sample and how the question was asked. I see a PPP poll and hit the delete key, as I do with many others including CNN / Times.
Are you sure you have completed your homework on RP? The more I learn the more time I will spend informing others, voters must be informed before casting a ballot.
"In July 2010, Barney Frank and Ron Paul co-authored a Huffington Post article rolling out their Sustainable Defense Task Force. The Task Force “consisting of experts on military expenditures that span the ideological spectrum” would recommend a trillion dollars in defense cuts. The experts, however, didn’t quite “span the ideological spectrum” — more like float under it.
The panel of experts who would decide how to best gut national defense featured such independent thinkers as William D. Hartung of the New America Foundation. Hartung’s main expertise was appearing in “Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire.”
Then there was Lawrence J. Kolb of the Center for American Progress and Miriam Pemberton of the Institute for Policy Studies. If you want to know what the Center, the Foundation and the Institute all have in common, it’s Hungarian and smells like stale cabbage and the death of nations.
The rather creepy Institute for Policy Studies issued a paper proposing that Obama act as king and rule through executive orders. The New American Foundation is not only backed by Soros but has his son on its leadership council. The Center for American Progress is run by the co-chair of Obama’s transition team and is, for all intents and purposes, the think tank of the White House. All three are Soros funded.
But it doesn’t end there. Also on the panel was Christopher Hellman of the National Priorities Project (NPP). If you are wondering what the NPP is, it’s a think tank whose objective is to “influence national spending priorities.” And if you’re in the mood for a double, Miriam Pemberton is also on the board of the NPP. The man behind the curtain at NPP? None other than our favorite Hungarian James Bond villain.
Going further down the list there’s Winslow Wheeler of the Center for Defense Information (CDI). The CDI’s goal is to strengthen “national and international security through international cooperation [and] reduced reliance on unilateral military power to resolve conflict.” CDI operates under the aegis of the World Security Institute, which is apparently the least creepy name they could think of. Wheeler is a Counterpunch contributor, a site which even Stalinists think goes a bit too far. CDI gets money from the Open Society Institute (OSI) where the stench of death and stale cabbage never goes away.
Then there’s Charles Knight and Carl Conetta of the Project for Defense Alternatives, which appears to be a subset of the Commonwealth Institute. Of its board of directors, S.M. Miller is also the founder of United for a Fair Economy which enjoys generous support from a certain philanthropic chap who occasionally destroys economies for sport. Another member, Guy Molyneux, has also worked with OSI. A third board member, Richard Healey, was formerly director of the Institute for Policy Studies and is on the advisory board of the Center for Social Inclusion, founded by two OSI veterans.
If you think this can’t get any worse, meet Paul Kawika Martin of Peace Action (PA). You might know PA better by its old name, the “Committee for a SANE Nuclear Policy” or just “SANE,” a Communist front group investigated by none other than Senator Thomas Dodd. PA has the same attitude toward American defense that burglars have toward alarm systems in other people’s homes. They don’t like them very much. And they have a “five year strategic plan” for the job.
Paul Kawika Martin travels around fighting progress on board The Rainbow Warrior and is also involved with Physicians for Social Responsibility. Martin has also collaborated with the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), a front for the Iranian regime. I think you can guess by now who funds Physicians for Social Responsibility.
Also on the task force is Laicie Olson of the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation. The Center is actually a subset of the Council for a Livable World. Olson originally worked for Physicians for Social Responsibility.
Another task force member was Heather Hurlburt of the National Security Network (NSN). The NSN’s goals are to “build a strong progressive national security and counter conservative spin.” Its founder was part of Obama’s transition team and resigned to work for Janet Napolitano. Soros’s OSI helped fund NSN, and its Special Counsel was on the NSN Policy Committee.
If you’re tired of reading through all this, then here’s the summary. Of the Paul-Frank Task Force, 9 out of 14 members were linked to Soros’s organs. Two were affiliated with the Cato Institute. One is indeterminate.
Ron Paul proposed to put a bunch of Soros-funded think tank experts in charge of dismantling the US military. Think about that for a moment. Ron Paul supporters can see conspiracies in a glass of water; can they see anything wrong with this picture? Can they see anything wrong with having a man from a group that was investigated for its Communist ties in the driver’s seat on national defense?
The task force’s proposals included cutting nuclear deterrence; reducing the fleet by 57 ships, including two carriers; canceling the Joint Strike Fighter; “severely curtail missile defense” — and that is a direct quote from the report — retiring four Marine battalions; reducing the military by 200,000 personnel; cutting defense research spending by 50 billion over ten years; and increasing health care fees for members of the military.
Not only did Paul join forces with Barney Frank to slash military preparedness, but he ended up putting the experts of a foreign billionaire with global ambitions in charge of the project. And that was what he did as a congressman. Can anyone imagine what he would do as president?
But why would Ron Paul allow George Soros that much power and influence over America’s defense policy? There are a number of possibilities. There is the possibility that Ron Paul just didn’t know and didn’t bother to do his research. Which is not much of a recommendation for the job he’s running for. There’s another possibility that Ron Paul knew and didn’t care, that he had no objection to being part of a left-right alliance against the “American Empire” with Soros. But there’s also a third possibility.
During the previous election, Americans Against Escalation in Iraq (AAEI) ran an ad praising Ron Paul for his position against the war. AAEI was an umbrella group for MoveOn.org, the Center for American Progress, SEIU, Americans United For Change, the National Security Network and others in the progressive bestiary. A number of those beasties were Soros groups.
I’m not one to dabble in conspiracy theories, but when Soros pays for an ad praising you during the Republican primaries and then you put his experts in charge of America’s defense policy, then maybe some questions should be asked."

Mike| 1.3.12 @ 3:41PM
No Paul supporter has answered my questions about Paul being antiChristian. I guess you are acknowledging he is? Isn't that an important issue. Paul always takes the side of Muslims in any dispute, and he always goes against Christians. In every case Muslims killed Christians, he thinks it was justified, although in any case Christians killed Muslims, it is never justified. In the last few years, a Muslim person shot people at a military base in Texas. It's Paul's home state, but he refused to condemn the person. I couldn’t find any record of support for Christians Paul has made in the last 10 years. If Paul were president, he would have to represent Christians, not just Muslims.
David| 1.3.12 @ 4:03PM
When you LISTEN to Ron Paul you will HEAR he is for INDVIDUAL LIBERTY. He protects YOUR right as an INDIVIDUAL to do what you please as long as you are not hurting, defaming, etc... others. You are asking about a collective issue. You watch WAy too much TV and dont do any research or think for yourself. Its what sheep do.
Mike| 1.3.12 @ 4:59PM
First of all, I don't even own a TV. Second, you must not read it very well.
Paul seems to protect Muslims as a collective enemy.
So, I have no right to practice the religion of my choice? That's not an individual right?
If I get murdered because of my religion, you are saying Paul is okay with it, because I made the evil choice of practicing the wrong religion?
What you are claiming actually goes against individual rights?
I notice you didn't deny that Paul is anti-Christian, you just said it doesn't matter.
Paul is going to lose a lot of potential voters, by keeping this up.
You and Paul have the right to think Christians are scum. But he wants to be president, and if doesn't believe in the individual rights of a significant portion of the country, he's not going to do a good job.
Becky| 1.5.12 @ 10:08AM
Mike, I'm not sure you are grasping what David told you. Dr. Paul believes in individual rights. Yes, religious freedom is an individual right. It's why this country was founded. Dr. Paul believes that you have the right to be a Christian just like your neighbor has the right to be Muslim/Jewish/Taoist/Buddhists, etc.
Dr. Paul believes we are capable of making our own decisions in life instead of having to be told what to do by the government. As long as we are not hurting anyone else or depriving anyone else of their personal liberties then Dr. Paul is okay with. So if you get murdered because of your religion/sexual orientation/any other reason then no, Dr. Paul is not okay with it.
Dr. Paul is a Christian. He's actually Baptist. He is pro-life, but he doesn't believe that abortion is an issue that the federal government has any say on. He is a stong supporter of states' rights and believes that decisions on abortion, legalization of drugs, legalization of prostitution, and marriage should be left to each state and the residents of those states to decide.

In reply to section F of your statement where in the Constitution does the right to get married exist? Marriage has NEVER been between two of the same sex in the thousands of years it has existed. So same sex marriage is not a Constitutional issue. No one is stopping gay people from getting married just not allowing them to change the definition of marriage. So go blog on the Nations website and get that gay shit out of here.

Or maybe a 4th party space alien, the kind that Ron Paul apparently saw while hangin' with Dennis Kucinich, will enter the race. Maybe it will be Kang and Kodos from The Simpsons. If they start polling ahead of everyone, including Ron Paul, will you chuck your boy overboard for the sake of the country to prevent Obama's re-election.
How about if a Ron Paul supporter ran as a 5th party candidate. Would that person vote for himself, or would he still pull the lever for Ron Paul? What if Ron Paul is really Barack Obama in disguise and winds up winning the nomination? What if this bogus Ron Paul wins in November?
There are so many possibilities, especially when Ron Paul is involved. Perhaps Ron Paul finds out he's really Jewish and punches himself out during campaign stop. Who knows? I sure don't.
What I do know is this: It's all a one way street with you people. If Ron Paul is the nominee, would we dare not vote for Ron Paul and guarantee Obama's re-election. Yet it's perfectly alright for Ron Paul to run 3rd party, thus handing Obama 4 more years. It's also perfectly alright for Ron Paul supporters to sit home if their beloved leader is not the GOP nominee. What's it gonna be buddy? You can't have it both ways. Either we're all in this together, regardless of the nominee. Or it's every man for himself.

" Ron Paul Maintains Lead in Latest PPP Iowa Poll
Survey shows broad support, strong organization
LAKE JACKSON, Texas, Jan 02, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- 2012 GOP Presidential candidate Ron Paul is leading Iowa according to a new PPP poll released yesterday evening, with 20 percent of the vote. The survey has Paul also leading among Independents and Democrats with 30 percent of the vote, more than twice that of the nearest challenger.
"As evidenced by the standing-room only crowds, Ron Paul has broad support and a top notch ground organization," said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton. "Despite a coordinated assault by the establishment, Congressman Paul is in the lead and headed toward a top finish in the Hawkeye state."
This comes on the heels of a CNN/Time poll which showed Ron Paul strong against President Obama. Highlights from the poll include Paul besting Obama 47 to 46 percent among those 65 years and older, said to be the most reliable voters. Paul also beats Obama among persons who reside in rural areas 52 to 44 percent and with Independents 48 to 47 percent. "

Clint, you could substitute the words "Ron Paul" with "Obama" and it wouldn't mean the people are any less stupid.
Picture this, Ron Paul as President and Putin as president of Russia. Now picture Russia moving on Europe as Ron Paul watches the world burn. Ron Paul would probably sit by and blame the United States for ending the Cold War, thereby installing Putin via proxy.
Jack| 1.5.12 @ 12:17AM
Yes... because Putin, who is busy dealing with a country in moderate political upheaval, unwarranted western discrimination, not to mention being the neighbor of despotic former Soviet neighbors, like good old genocidally insane Georgia (a current US supported ally...), REALLY wants to get involved in an economically unfeasible campaign to diabolically take over the shattered economic crutch known as Europe, which would not only weaken his grip at home, but piss of China, India... would be big enough to cause even the UN to intervene...
What I'm trying to get to here is that, after looking at this topic extensively for an essay in my last year of high school, well, even a high school student can tell you how hilariously impractical and illogical your argument is.
Furthermore, instead of worrying about Russia, a country which has a completely different political climate, we should be worrying about AMERICA, and how to fix it. And Europe isn't our problem either. Fact of the matter is, the statist dogma that Obama, and to an extent the other leading Republican Candidates are supporting, is why they are in such an economic mess, and could even be remotely susceptible to Russian Dominance... which they WON'T...

Hate to break it to you Jeffrey, but several weeks ago Pat Buchanan raised the issue of Sen. Rand Paul's career in the context of a potential Ron Paul 3rd party bid.

It cheers me to see how a statist puppet like you can hold so dear to their superiority with such false, unwarranted pride. What's to say that if Paul goes third party, that a vote for whatever snively pompous prick is chosen to run by the Republicans is not equally responsible in getting Obama re-elected, if it so be the case.
A third party candidate has no less legitimacy than a Republican or a Democrat. In most democratic countries, there are anywhere from four to a dozen parties represented in government. Heck, if you look at the US historically, the modern Republicans and Democrats are less than 100 years old, much like this two party notion.
Ivan| 1.3.12 @ 2:56PM
Lord: "What happens after all the caucus and primary ballots are counted -- and Not Ron Paul is the GOP nominee?"
this is answered very simply: what if Ron Paul IS a nominee? Would Mark Levin and other neocon idiots vote for him? I think that the question answers itself. So, Ron Paul should run as a third party candidate to make sure Obama, and not Obama-lite with R behind his name is elected. And give us some time to develop an organization and defeat the republican establishment.
I listened to Mark Levin's show yesterday. He was completely inconsistent. In the first half of the show he was trashing Mitt Romney as a moderate big government liberal who is not going to do anything to abolish the Obamacare (which is according to Levin a crucial issue on which the future of America is hanging).
And then he went on to say that he would vote for Romney nevertheless, if he is a nominee! It does not make much sense, does it? If Romney is really that bad (and I agree he is) would not be then much better to prevent him from delivering us another GWB term? What;s the purpose of having another phony, fake, plastic men in the White House, only because he has an R instead of D behind his name?
Even worse, Levin spent much time criticizing George Will for his description of the election furry as an unhealthy obsession with the presidency. The Congress and the Senate are tootles, claims Levin, even with the republican majorities because they would be led by the phonies Boehner and McConnell who would cave in every time in negotiations with Obama. Hence, we need to be concentrated on the presidency...and wait, to support an even worse phony than McConnell and Boehner for the president, in the hope that will change everything

I have been asked by various media the last few days for my comments, view of the current situation regarding my former boss Ron Paul, as he runs for the presidency on the Republican ticket.
I’ve noticed in some media that my words have been twisted and used for an agenda from both sides. And I wish to set the record straight with media that I trust and know will get the story right: conservative/libertarian-conservative bloggers.
Is Ron Paul a “racist.” In short, No. I worked for the man for 12 years, pretty consistently. I never heard a racist word expressed towards Blacks or Jews come out of his mouth. Not once. And understand, I was his close personal assistant. It’s safe to say that I was with him on the campaign trail more than any other individual, whether it be traveling to Fairbanks, Alaska or Boston, Massachusetts in the presidential race, or across the congressional district to San Antonio or Corpus Christi, Texas.
He has frequently hired blacks for his office staff, starting as early as 1988 for the Libertarian campaign. He has also hired many Hispanics, including his current District staffer Dianna Gilbert-Kile.
Is Ron Paul an Anti-Semite? Absolutely No. As a Jew, (half on my mother’s side), I can categorically say that I never heard anything out of his mouth, in hundreds of speeches I listened too over the years, or in my personal presence that could be called, “Anti-Semite.” No slurs. No derogatory remarks. "
The tea Party Rebellion Is Here And In Iowa.
Simon Templar| 1.3.12 @ 3:40PM
Something to consider...
Let us say that Paul does indeed do exactly what he has done in the past and disrupts the general election with a third party run and subsequently reelects the socialist. Now, has anyone considered the political fallout and consequences besides the obvious ones?
I believe the anger will be at a pitch never seen before as conservatives reflect over not only the third party run but the historic divisiveness, chaos, negativity, and attacks that were launched by his fanatic followers against all the other candidates and conservatives in general that are not excited and fanatical about Ron Paul as they are.
Levin is just reflecting this anger as he contemplates the consequences of all of this.
Look at the comments in this thread. They do not really care about this nation nor does Ron Paul. They are perfectly ok with The Socialist's reelection if Ron Paul is not nominated. This is straight out of the their comments, verbatim.
So, to be fair, the paulbots can not be blamed for all of it either and what will likely happen if conservatives do not wrestle this nomination process away from the establishment beltway RINO's. If conservatives can not stop themselves from listening to MSM and RINO propaganda and scare tactics that these two groups have used to destroy ALL of the candidates including Ron Paul then we have only ourselves to blame for the destruction of this nation and a potentially irreversible and historic shift.
Sop even listening to the negative propaganda of the talking heads out here as well as the candidates handlers. Start acting like thinking citizens of a great Republic and stop acting like a herd of cows that are spooked by the latest campaign televison commercial.
Stop this unholy and self destructive whining about how these candidates do not measure up to some ridiculous iconic super hero dream candidate. Damn, stop judging our candidates with standards and measurements handed to you by the socialist democrats.
Iowa is one state out of fifty. The rest of us have a say as well...fight for what you believe in...
Sean| 1.3.12 @ 4:04PM
To add to your comment, the reason that the "Paulbots" (I guess you can consider me one) have no problem with the Socialist getting 4 more years if Ron Paul doesn't get the nomination, is because we are sick and tired of replacing big government, war-mongering, civil and economic liberty-destroying hacks with the same kind of hack from a different party.
It is the 2 party system is has led us here, and Ron Paul has been the ONLY principled man fighting both parties for literally decades.
Think about it this way: We have been intervening militarily for decades in the Middle East and all it does is kill our own soldiers and bankrupt us. Oh wait---it builds up more resentment against us--forgot about that one.
Seriously---Ron Paul is the only non 2-Party candidate not bought band paid for by large special corporate and political interests.
To us, it is NOT about "defeating Obama" because replacing Obama-D with Obama-R doesn't do jack. We want to restore this country, and only want candidate's ideas match the ideas necessary to do just that.

Actually, it's Paultard and RonPaul has had his hand in the cookie jar for decades. You guys, however, spend too much time in worship of DearLeader to realize it. He's spent his life in Washington. There are certain things that Paultards believe: 1) World's problems caused by Jews/America; 2) Any strikes against Jews/America are deserved; 3) Ron Paul is principled even though he's had his hand in the till like all other pols; 4) Ron Paul reflects original constitutional thinking (debunked by history, of course).

He has frequently hired blacks for his office staff, starting as early as 1988 for the Libertarian campaign. He has also hired many Hispanics, including his current District staffer Dianna Gilbert-Kile.
Is Ron Paul an Anti-Semite? Absolutely No. As a Jew, (half on my mother’s side), I can categorically say that I never heard anything out of his mouth, in hundreds of speeches I listened too over the years, or in my personal presence that could be called, “Anti-Semite.” No slurs. No derogatory remarks. "

I had to fight bullies everyday just to go home from school and I learned an important lesson. If you dont stand up to it they will walk all over you. People like you Sean are the weakness the Terrorists see that empowers them to do the things they do. Until someone stands up to them and shows them that we will not go away until they are defeated it will just continue. I for one dont want to leave it to my children to fight.

There are things worth fighting for. Liberty. Freedom. Not irrelevant, misdirected wars in foreign countries, which our incompetent statist government is too busy micromanaging to bother winning, and cost our citizens billions in taxes to fund. You know what else is worth fighting over. Corrupt, totalitarian laws like the NDAA, which authorizes those same statists the right to basically turn a country envisioned as a bastion of civil and democratic freedoms into a police state.
Its not terrorists you need to be worried about JR. Its the people using them as a scapegoat to get away with shit.
adam| 1.3.12 @ 6:51PM
Do the Paulista's even see that there is a difference between the Iraw and Afghanistan wars against Al Queda/terrorist-funding and the FOUR wars going on now, where Uganda and Libya are benefitting from our troops in order to help install muslim theocracies? They always seem to mention the old Bush wars but not have a problem with obama adding TWO more under the marxist you would gladly help reelect.
You guys just say "war-monger" as if there was no difference between sending troops to Europe during WWII and sending troops to Libya to support the extremists and protect French oil. And that's Paul's problem. He can/will not distinguish between necessary and unnecessary battles.
Jack| 1.5.12 @ 12:58AM
Um... what? As far as I and my fellow Paul supporters are concerned, Obama's actions just as bad, if not worse than getting involved in Iraq, and to the same extent Afghanistan.
But as far as we're concerned, replacing him with a war mongering republican would be just as bad. If you are using "well, atleast he isn't Obama," as your excuse to vote for your candidate, than maybe you should rethink your voting strategy...
And I don't recall any of us mentioning that World War II was the same as Libya... given that our involvement was a direct response to Japanese aggression...

JR,
"Going after the Paul's family," is the language that both Doug F. and Swibbie used in their posts. Swibbie did not make a qualitative distinction in how that quote was used. She accepted at face value that Levine was going after Paul's family and then went on to draw a parallel equivalency to democrats going after Palin's family.
To me this kind of response speaks to the lack of morality that pervades our political atmosphere. People no longer condemn amoral actions for the inherent wrong. Rather, they embrace a species of partisan moral relativism. "Yeah, Obama did this, but so did Bush;" or "Sure Delay did this when Republicans were in power, but it is not as bad as what Pelosi did..." become popular refrains. In making such rationalizations these people tacitly absolve their own party's corruption. This is a sign of a morally bankrupt culture and political system.
adam| 1.3.12 @ 6:52PM
No. Going after someone for campaigning for a candidate who would reelect obama.
Brian| 1.3.12 @ 3:49PM
the republican party for sometime now is no longer interested in liberty, nothing but flip flopping pretenders. Mark LEvin is a hardlined pro-israel supporter who will blindly IGNORES even what Israel says and WANTS when DEFENDING ITS OWNSELF. Levin is just a closed minded fool who has rembrace and has replaced it with military overtones and facist propoganda.
adam| 1.3.12 @ 6:55PM
Levin's about as anti-facist as you can get, since he disagrees with giving government any more power than the constituion allows. A facist is one who wants the government to have all the power over citizens.
Sean| 1.3.12 @ 3:54PM
Mark Levin is pathetic just like the others. Even Glenn Beck today spent about 25 minutes on his show uninterrupted just calling Ron Paul a racist.
Even though the quotes (even if he did write some of them them) are completely made up.
Ron Paul never said “[O]ur country is being destroyed by a group of actual and potential terrorists—and they can be identified by the color of their skin," like the media says.
Rather, he said “Regardless of what the media tell us, most white Americans are not going to believe that they are at fault for what blacks have done to cities across America. The professional blacks may have cowed the elites, but good sense survives at the grass roots. Many more are going to have difficulty avoiding the belief that our country is being destroyed by a group of actual and potential terrorists—and they can be identified by the color of their skin. This conclusion may not be entirely fair, but it is, for many, entirely unavoidable.”
Notice how his last sentence laments the racism depicts him as lamenting the unfair racism in this country.
Don't be fooled by the media---Ron Paul 2012

Give me a break. Levin hides in an underground bunker in Fairfax County, VA and talks tough from behind a microphone. As for Ron Paul - he couldn't get arrested 6 weeks ago - son much for GOP loyalty. IF you don't want Obama - then back Ron Paul. Levin is proposing exactly what he says RP is doing - abandoning the one candidate who can pull votes from across the board unlike any other GOP prospect. Romeny vs Obama? Forget about it.

It doesn't matter if Paul runs 3rd Party or not. If he is not the GOP nominee Obama will win. No RP supporter will vote for the other candidates. They will either sit home or write him in on the ballot. And the GOP will have no one to blame but themselves for losing. You can't treat a candidate the way he's treated and expect his supporters to be forgiving. Do I expect RP to get the nomination? No. Romney will get it and Obama will defeat him in the general election due in part to a large portion of voters who believe in RP's message. They will never back the GOP candidate. These articles getting mad over RP possibly running 3rd Party are ridiculous. He doesn't have to run in order for the GOP to lose. His treatment throughout this campaign has made sure of their defeat.

If RP does not get the GOP nomination, then Gary Johnson will get my vote in the general election (assuming RP does not switch parties, which I doubt). I will never vote for a GOP establishment again.

You're overestimating the population of Paulbots. Their sitting home will not affect the election, as they are merely a small minority of clueless young men. However, people WOULD stay home in droves if Paul were nominated. He does not appeal to the center-right, traditional constitutionalists who make up the majority of the voters.

I've taken oaths to uphold the Constitution and am a little more then discouraged at the state of things. Where should we begin?
b| 1.3.12 @ 4:18PM
What a joke. The GOP has never been gracious towards Paul. Its members have always been smug and arrogant. During the 2007 presidential debates, I remember Romney smirking as Ron Paul warned of the impending economic melt-down--you know the one that happened 6 months later? In the present primaries, I remember wanting smack the smugness off of Rick "9-11" Santorum's face as Ron Paul was talking about foreign policy. Then a few weeks ago Gingrich pompously proclaimed that if Ron Paul won the primary, he would not vote for him! The GOP has no loyalty towards Paul, so why should he blindly toe the party line.
It is troubling to hear a 'journalist' cavalierly cheer the 'party first' rhetoric. While our country rots from the inside out from the reckless spending policies of the two neo-liberal political parties, you advocate blind allegiance to the politburo. Shame on you.
adam| 1.3.12 @ 7:03PM
The GOP does not support Paul because he does not believe in an America-First, strong defense ideology, which is the foundation of the party.
If he would just drop his anti-Israel and pro-muslim ideas, pick someone like Bolton for VP and keep his domestic policies, he could actually win. The fact that he does not do so shows that he is not interested in leading the country out of its current proplems as much as he is interested in "sticking it to" America.
b| 1.3.12 @ 7:14PM
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but America simply cannot afford anymore war. If we continue on this path we will go bankrupt.

Ed| 1.3.12 @ 4:20PM
Ron Paul, as to 9/11, would let us know that, if it wasn't done by jews or the US government (he's a truther, folks), it was a well deserved rebuff to our presence, at the invite of the area's lawful governments, in the Middle East.

Ron Paul and his disciples are simply irrevelant.
If we conservative Republicans can't win the country back without the lunatic fringe votes for Ron Paul, then we deserve whatever pain the communists inflict upon us.

Ed| 1.3.12 @ 5:00PM
Haven't we debated these nonsensical statements before, with the Paultards usually running away snarling like whipped dogs when you point out the various and sundry ways they are showing their historical ignorance? Reality check: RonPaul's spent his life in Washington with his hand in the cookie jar. Principled, he is not. Ron's foreign policy views are closer to the left wing than "conservative". Of course, Hitler had backers aplenty in the US prior to WWII. Ron would have been one of them.
nopaulina| 1.3.12 @ 7:14PM
Guys, "war-mongering" was ancient (from the 60's, at least) when the left picked it up as terminology years ago. Don't you guys know cliches when you hear them? Neo-con, "Dr. Paul," war-monger..It's what gives you the appearance of a cult; you'd be more successful (and less annoying) without it.
Other than that, if you don't want wars, why would you help get obama back in? He's added two more wars, and he uses the US military like it's the Revolutionary Guard of the Caliphate.
The fact that it doesn't bother you shows that the wars do not bother you; you just have a "thing" for your man. It's illogical and makes the PaulPeople look dopey. Whg would anyone love any candidate more than they hate what obama is doing to our country??
The important thing is NOT to get your "rock star" elected; it's to get obama OUT.
Sean| 1.3.12 @ 8:33PM
Actually, it DOES bother us that Obama is using the military like it is the Revolutionary guard of the Caliphate. And it bothered us when Bush used it to expand our empire into Iraq. It's not important to get Obama out just to put another war-president in. The one candidate that is not for these costly wars is Ron Paul.
Chris| 1.3.12 @ 4:51PM

Which ones are we currently in for Israel? Osama didn't like us in Saudi Arabia, even if at the invitation of that country's government. As Paul would say, he rightfully struck back at us and our citizens were deservedly killed. How about Albanians-why don't Paultards ever say "No more wars for Albania". Is there some reason they obsess over jews but not Albanians? Did they learn something at one of DearLeader's Bund meetings we need to know about?
nopaulina| 1.3.12 @ 7:16PM

Lots of RP haters on this board. They must be swayed by Levin's immature "Ru-Paul" attacks. I used to vote Republican all the way and loved the Mark Levin show. Then I read "Tea Party Goes to Washington", and finally I embraced the Libertarian leanings I had all along. All liberties must be protected (civil and economic). The GOP is a shade better than the Dems, but if I have the choice, I will vote for a Libertarian candidate instead of the lessor of two evils. What is the difference between a slow death (Repubs) and a quick death (Dems). Live free.
Ed| 1.3.12 @ 5:30PM
No, I'm swayed by the wit and wisdom of Ron Paul and the anti-semitic tirades his followers go on when they get a chance on sites like this. With friends like them, Ron Paul scares me. With a past like DearLeader's, we can't afford him and his combination of historical stupidity, isolationism and economic hypocrisy.
Jack| 1.5.12 @ 1:14AM

david rairigh| 1.3.12 @ 5:34PM
The reason Paul supporters can safely say that we won't vote for anyone but Paul is because there is no functional difference between Obama and any of the other candidates (excluding Gary Johnson). they are all for big government.
naql| 1.3.12 @ 9:20PM
The Republicans will try any dirty trick to avoid Paul as their nominee, but Gary Johnson will be on the Libertarian ticket: 2 term gov, came in with a deficit, left a surplus, cut taxes and never raised them, vetoed more bills than all the other state governors combined...

You’ll see how his positions “evolved” as 2008 neared. In a 2008 debate, he said:
“I’VE ABANDONED THOSE VIEWPOINTS, I don’t believe that, and that’s all.. that’s the only thing that is important, and so I don’t endorse anything they say….”
“I’VE ABANDONED THOSE VIEWPOINTS” = “I was a Truther….before I started running for POTUS.”

Maybe it is time the Libertarian faction of the Republican party took their toys and went elsewhere, and good luck beating Obama without us.

Does a man not have the right to hope for a better future? Can he not pursue it, or must he simply live day to day, and put up with the same Authoritarian status quo Washington's revolving door of statist presidents has offered us over the past decade or so.
Do I have dementia if I vote for something I believe in?

Why should Ron Paul be loyal to the Republican Party? Because of the objectivity and fairness it has shown him? PLEASE. His supporters will vote for him under any party name, and his number of supporters is growing as this charade of democracy plays itself out. Go Ron Paul, go!

Levin is a warmonger.

If neither party candidate has any intention of upholding the Constitution, what other choice does he have? I doubt he'll run 3rd party himself, but he probably will endorse a 3rd party candidate as he did in 2008. If its between Obama and Romney, sorry, I'm going with option 3.

I always find it hilarious when Levin repeatedly states Ron Paul is not a conservative and in the same breath says he is voting for the "ultra-conservative" Rick Santorum. The same Santorum that voted for Medicare part D and repeatedly to raise the debt ceiling. The only thing conservative about Santorum is his devotion to traditional social issues which should not even play a role in politics.
BTW, did Mark Levin ever serve in the military? If so, why doesn't he ever talk about it? He seems so quick to send someone else's children off to war.
If Levin succeeded in letting a great man like Rand Paul lose the Republican nomination for his senate seat, I would urge Rand to run as a third party. That way, Levin would be responsible for handing a Republican seat over to the Democrats, LOL .
You want to play Hardball, Mark? BRING IT ON!

Levin is a fraud and is no conservative. He never supported Rand Paul (a conservative) in the first place...he is a republican establishment prick who wanted McConnel's hand picked moderate to be the GOP nominee. Losers such as Levin lied to get Paul defeated in the primary by claiming he would not win in the general election which was expected to be a close race. He clobbered his gop rival in the primary and he crushed his opponent in the general election. Ron Paul just might do the same thing.
Levin..you are a liar and faker...and even though I have occasional problems with Michael Savage..you are a mere shadow of what he is....if you care about conservatism you should retire from radio and direct your listeners to your superior competition.

I hear you loud and clear regarding a third party run.
We don't want Obama.
However, consider this possibility: what if Hilary Clinton also runs as a third party candidate to equal the score. Wouldn't it be nice to have one or the other IF they both are free of the puppeteers.
Nice to have some independence and integrity from the middle ground.
Personally I consider Ron Paul the only candidate who could beat Obama.
