Will establishment GOP sabotage him and hand it to Obama?

It would most certainly divide the Republicans forcing them to create a new assclenchervative political party.

Ron Paul should have as much appeal for socially liberal Democrats as he does for fiscally conservative Republicans.

For him to win the general election, he would need considerable support from independents and Democrats.

Despite finding the idea laughable that Paul would actually clinch the Republican nomination, I think it would be a very interesting matchup. Obama leans more right than most liberals would like and Paul leans more left than most conservatives would like. Granted, I think Paul would destroy America, but other than that, as a moderate I don't think this country could lose!

given the choice between obama and romney...who are both nothing more than empty suits for corporate groups ....i think anyone with an ounce of common sense would have to choose paul


and to those who say "paul would ruin america" ....what do you think bush....and obama...and romney/gingrich/bauchman/perry would do?


of course i find it laughable that people think a person who stands for the same principles that created the country would some how ruin the country


it's absurd on a level that defies logic

Oh yes. The Establishment would move heaven and earth. Party affiliation is far less important to our ruling elite than kowtowing to them.

If you asked me who was more Establishment, Clinton, either Bush, or Obama I'd have to sit down and think about it.

Ron Paul if elected would get zero legislation passed though congress and after a few years both parties would move to impeach and remove him from office

he can do enormous things with presidential power alone.....like sicking the justice dept on the fed reserve and auditing every banking institution that he feels needs it for starters....

Hopefully they will go back to the Democratic party from which they came from 4 decades ago

Maybe, but he doesn't need just legislation to affect change.

Bringing all the troops home, nullifying all active Executive Orders and negating policies and procedures within the departments that were created w/o Congressional approval is a lot of change he can effect w/o needing the legislative branch.

Also slowing all legislation by taking the full 15 days before vetoing is another way to slow the pace of idiocy within the legislative branch
