	Moe_Nox posted: Ron Paul will not run as an independent, he will toe the party line and support Romney when its time. Doubt it. He really doesn't have much if anything to gain from doing so. And he simply just doesn't have much if anything to lose from running as an independent. No matter where his political path leads him, that path will not likely last much longer. I am not convinced that he gives two flying fcks if the republican nominee wins the presidential election (assuming that he is not the nominee). Does anyone disagree with what I've said? If so, explain why. -----signature----- "drive a SUV and have a Apple straped to your azz" - Blue_Arrow "ou guys know that I love homosexuals." - GrilledCheez

	His son is a junior Republican Senator Mayor. It's no longer just his own political future he's playing with. Edit - Don't be naive in believing that the RNC won't use Rand to get to Ron either.

	Sin_of_Onin posted: The problems with a two party system mostly deal with the legislature. With only two parties the people are less likely to be able to really establish what they want when choosing between two things. For example imagine choosing what pie you want to eat. Do you think your taste in pie would be better established when choosing between two pies or 10? Once this is done the legislature itself has to establish things like committee leadership based on something more than which party happens to be the majority. A lot more emphasis is placed on listening to multiple groups and the room for nuances in opinion is promoted. Maybe it will make people feel better.... But right now I can choose from 10 pies. There is no restriction on pies with orange peels from jumping up on the counter for me to choose from, there is no restriction on me going in search of a pie with orange peels and voting for it. An orange peel pie was selected by a small group of people in Texas. So obviously there is no real impediment to people everywhere choosing orange peel pie. The problem isnt that apple and cherry are secretely pushing levers to keep orange peel pie from being chosen, the problem is that people tend to pick cherry and apple. Allowing a third pie stand will cause most people to vote for an apple or cherry...they will keep rejecting the orange peel pie that they have been rejecting for years. WIthout a change in the voting process or the legislature process, the new 3 party congress will look exactly like the two party congress. The voting process in Euro countries with strong multi-party systems is completely different than the US voting system right?

	Everybody gets a medal at the Special Olympics the Republican primary has become. Seriously, if Republitwats are to be believed they think another four years of Obama will be the end of the country. And these fools, crazies, and common grifters are the best they have to offer?
