Jake Diliberto: Ron Paul should run with 3rd Party
Yeah, I picked this up from our buddy, Jake Diliberto on Facebook. Now ask yourself why would Russia TV and Jake want Ron Paul to run as a third party candidate?
It is clear to me that the GOP primaries will not go to Ron Paul this year and as a result, President Obama is likely to destroy the GOP in this year’s general election.
Mainly, the conservative wing, has taken up every issue that would ignite anti conservative flames among young voters, minorities, and independents. In two words, Meghan McCain, daughter of Senator John McCain, identified this year’s primary as, “ so lame”.
While I wouldn’t dispute McCain’s characterization of the field of candidates, I certainly wouldn’t use that fine looking, but empty-headed twit as the source for my ruminations on politics, but Jake goes on to quote her;
McCain picks carries on the point saying, “The Republicans need someone to excite younger people, independents, Hispanic voters and the disenfranchised.”
Yep, Jake, that fits Ron Paul to a tee, doesn’t it? Ron Paul excites young people because he’s so close to their age. I’m sure Hispanics will trip over themselves trying to cast their vote for Paul, because he’s so “with” them on immigration.
If I were a Ron Paul supporter, and that is certainly NOT the case, I’d be thinking to myself “Ron Paul hasn’t carried more 10% in any primary thus far, unless he was only running against one other candidate, so we should put him on third party ballot”, because mathematics in the Ron Paul world doesn’t exist. 1+0 = 70 gajillion.
He can’t get a majority in his own party, but we should be able to attract enough votes from the other party to put him in the White House – especially since Democrats are so disillusioned with Barack Obama, or something.
Apparently, elections mean nothing to these people, only the campaign matters. It’s like that 99% bullshit. Just because they say it, it’s true.

If you’re a political commentator reduced to quoting Meghan McCain, all I can say is that I hope your next job involves a hair net and a headset connected to the drive-thru cash register.
They’d have to be trained for that, though. It requires useful skills and I’m not sure they’re up for that.
They’d still have to have someone run the cash register for them, it involves counting and math.

Can’t you learn to work a register by reading a book?
Unfortunately, I think he does have a lot of appeal with young people, wrinkled old prune that he is.
One of the reasons I suspect the youngens like him so much is because they think that the things he said in the 80’s and 90’s are ancient history. And they think that he really is “Reaganesque” because they don’t remember Reagan. Most of all, Paul has redefined conservatism to mean something that it has never meant, and young people actually believe that their guy Paul is taking conservatism “back to its roots.”
Of course, they also conveniently forget that half the shit Paul wants to do, he can’t–not as a Congressman, not as President.
“Ron Paul is close to their age.” I’m 75, Paul is older than me and I am nowhere near young people’s age. I’m calling BS on that one.
Hell, I can’t even speak the language.
@#8, all you have to do is throw in a “like” or “you know”, or the utmost in young-speak, “like, ya know”.
