No Paul=No Vote
The Ron Paul people think they’re funny by spamming my inbox with their slacktivist crap, so I’ll just use it to my advantage. Yesterday they sent me this message about how the Republican Party is going to be sorry if they don’t give Paul a place on the ticket in November;
[W]e below resolve that should Ron Paul not win the GOP Presidential nomination, unless either Ron Paul or Rand Paul are nominated as the Vice Presidential candidate on the GOP ticket this November, our 15% plus of the GOP electorate will not vote for the GOP at the national level. Many of us may not vote at all, others may vote third party, or if we vote we will write in Ron Paul for President as a protest against the sham two-party monopoly that controls our nation thus making real change impossible.
Now, they claim that they’re going to throw 15% of the potential Republican voters to Ron Paul. So, thinking this might be a real threat, I went to check their petition yesterday and there were 25 signatories to the petition. I went back and checked today;
So you see, it’s a real threat. A whole 26 people won’t vote for the Republican candidate, so there’s no way Republicans can win in November.
We are young, intelligent and Internet and social media savvy and we will not forget your actions against us in the political process.
Yeah, you’re internet savvy, that’s why you can’t more than 26 people to sign your stupid petition. Why are they still buzzing around our collective head?

Are they for real? If he does not win the nomination? There is a snow ballers chance in hell he would win the nomination, and go ahead and boycott, not vote, vote for him a write in…. Obama should send all you Paulbots who do this a thank you card and or an invitation to his Inauguration next year.
Seriously you all act like a bunch of cultist and spoiled children wrapped up in one messy package.
Those 26 are the ones that voted for Obama in 2008. They are simply expressing their voters er “buyers” remorse…hehe!
I personally support Ron Paul, even though I do not completely agree with his foreign policy issues.
That said, I garauntee that this is a fringe group of Paul supporters. I will vote for the GOP nominee because I don’t think America can handle four more years of this tyrant.
Good riddance.
…fringe group of Ron Paul supporters. I’m trying hard not to laugh at that.
unless either Ron Paul or Rand Paul are nominated as the Vice Presidential candidate on the GOP ticket this November, our 15% plus of the GOP electorate will not vote for the GOP at the national level.
I don’t know what effect have Rand Paul on the ticket would be, but I suspect that having Ron Paul there would cause even more to not support the GOP in the election.
Here’s the reality of the threat: if Obama is re-elected, the Paulistinians will continue to mooch off of mom and dad while collecting unemployment. If the GOP candidate is elected, the Paulistinians will claim credit for having skewed whatever local, state, and national numbers that come in.
So: unemployment/mooching off of parents while complaining about everyone ignoring them versus unemployable/mooching off of mom and dad while bragging how important they are to the election process. Choices, choices.
This kind of reminds me of those people who start a riot and, to sock it to the man, burn down their own neighborhood
Ron Paul, their guy, has been elected to office under the banner of the GOP for 36 years. Don’t you think that at some point in the past 3 and a half decades, if he believed the “sham two-party monopoly” (um, mono = one, but nvm that small detail) was “making real change impossible” he might have stepped away from the GOP?
Delusional, self-important asshats.
Andy–he did, back in 1987, and very publicly burned his bridges and dissed most of the GOP leadership (including Reagan) in the process. Of course, Ronulans would like you to forget this fact.
The ONLY states in which Paul has polled in double digits are in open or modified open primary states, and some caucus states where a relatively small group of goons can game the result. Put him in a closed primary and he barely polls above the margin or error for the last poll.
Also, look at Gallup’s data and how the primary voters have self-identifed, liberal or conservative. Guess which candidate has the most supporters who classify themselves as liberal or very liberal?
Oh, and just for shits and giggles, look up the NH DEMOCRATIC primary results. Anyone want to guess who came in second?
Yeah, the Paulistas are acting like spoiled brats. But I don’t really see much difference between this and Santorum’s little “Obama is Preferable to Romney” snit yesterday.
Except in Paul’s case, it was the candidate’s supporters acting like children – not the candidate himself.
Yeah, I know Santorm later recanted his tantrum. Still: acting like a spoiled brat because you didn’t get your way is IMO evidence you’re not qualified to be POTUS .
“slacktivist”- I’m steeling that word.
26 people? Seems kinda of high, I bet there are a few double/triple posters. We can only hope they uphold their constant threats and go away into irrelevant oblivion. Paul should go rereenter the Libertarian party, you know the media might actually find them interesting enough to cover.
#11 Santorum still would be a stronger candidate then Romney against Obama.
So, if I’m reading this right, then if one of the Paul genus isn’t on the GOP ticket, then the military will withhold it’s votes?
Heh. Stupid Ronulans.
I’m still trying to figure out what “actions we took against them” They must not have worked, they’re still around….
OT–chemtrails, man. Always those damned chemtrails.
Don’t forget that we sent the Mossad after them as well. Haha.
AW1 Tim, I prefer “Paulistinians,” myself.
17 – since they seem to believe every conspiracy theory and blame most of the county’s ills on Jews and the moussad, that seems appropriate.
Maybe spraying vinegar on them would make them disappear?
@ #8 – Toothless This kind of reminds me of those people who start a riot and, to sock it to the man, burn down their own neighborhood. Was that the riot in DC, like around 70-maybe even 72ish where they gutted a whole neighborhood. I remember one up in Philly also but not the year of it. The only other riot I can recall when the hood burnt to the ground is Watts…
That might take a super tanker to hold enough vinegar to spray ’em down, OWB…..*cackle*
Streets, Detroit, 1967?
