My own Reality Check.



In doing my part for the R3volution, I have become a Precinct Committeeman and have been actively engaging Independents, Democrats and disgruntled Republicans.

The general consensus with Independents and Democrats is they could never vote for:
Mitt Romney.
Rick Santorum.
Newt Gingrich.
Rick Perry.
Michelle Bachman.
~ I can understand that position.

However, the majority of Independents and Democrats that I engage agree they could vote for:
Ron Paul.
~ I can understand that position also.

It is time for the RNC to wake up and smell the coffee...Liberty Latte.

In Liberty.

If Mitt chooses Condoleza

If Mitt chooses Condoleza Rice as VP can you imagine the disastrous impact it could have among independents?

I hope Ron gets the nomination in Tampa or it's 4 more years of Obama.

Romney is just acting, per establishment's plan to elect obama.

romney is pro-obama and they are buddies. romney is putting an act.

remember, the paul family fell in love with romney. they are close pals and call each other all the time. ron calls romney dignified and is pleased with his friendship, though mainstream laughs at it and calls it destructive for ron, though his supporters won't listen and immediately approved of this psychotic relationship.

so, romney can be very lovable as pauls proved. there is no right/left with these two parties, and there are very, very few independents. independents that ben is reporting about are fake and are infact strongly leaning one party or the other, which are infact virtually identical. but rp supporters buy into the illusionary right/left paradigm bec estab tells them.

Oh dear!

No one likes the appointed bankster boy Romney? The neocon zionist loving clown. LOL I am shocked. LOL Sarcasm. LOL

Just admit it, our leaders have been appointed for years now. decades even. Our elections are a joke and no more free than Putins. Though I believe Putin May very well be popular in Russia. But to criticize another countries elections when ours are just as bad is insane and laughable.

Romney is a sleaze bag. I wonder how many neocons will go to bed at night with tissues crying about Obamas reelection or chewing their pillows in anger. LOL

I wasnt aware he had many

I wasnt aware he had many independants to begin with.

Time for the GOP to have a Reality Check

Ben Swann is always great. This really needs to make the rounds. The Republican party needs to reconsider. More than that, the national non Paul delegates need to reconsider. Get their names and send this to them.

We knew this was coming

We knew this was going to happen. The Truth is that Romney did very poorly with independents in a lot of states. Also Democrats and Republicans have been leaving the party in droves to register as independent. So really this is no surprise. We know who this people will be backing and it wont be Obama or Mitt.

Politics, freedom, truth, Ron Paul.Feel free to check out my blog on politics in my profile.

ya think?

...this isn't the only demographic that will turn from him...stand by

Defeat ALEXANDER! Career traitor! Handsomely rich in a poor Nation.

Interesting Implication

Like he had independent support at some point to lose? Did I miss something?

Very interesting numbers: the

Very interesting numbers: the economy is tanking, unemployment is worse, Obamacare was declared constitutional, and Romney STILL can't win the Indy vote!?

Rmoney is that bad.

Rmoney is that bad.

Romney is boring and lame

people see that and even a terrible record president will beat him badly because Obama can atleast entertain a crowd. Romney's solution is to unveil his choice for vice president and likely that will only sink him lower.

What Ben Needs To Know

I love this guy...but Ben should know better than anyone - when you alienate a base of voters, you're going to drive them away. As we used to say in the deep South, "If you pee on the campfire, make sure you're not standin' downwind". Romney is standing downwind - the vast majority of YOUNG PEOPLE (you know...the ones the GOP needs and Ron Paul attracts) get their news from alternative media...and the alternative media (of which Ben is a part) have been following the trail of Romney dirty tricks (and one of them is probably the malware attack that tried to keep me off a KNOWN SAFE SITE - this site). I see young people LEAVING TWO-PARTY POLITICS IN DROVES, and who can blame them? How many of them supported Rand Paul only to see him flip? How many of them were also fooled by Marco Rubio and Scott Brown, the Tea Party darlings?

Young independents should stay clear of the pee smoke of the Romney campaign...it's going to fill the air in Tampa.

Be seeing you.

I'm FOR Ron Paul and AGAINST Republicrats!

I'm voting Ron Paul in November no matter what. I 100% refuse to play my vote like a poker chip by voting for the lesser of two evils.

I will not have it on my conscience that I helped bring this country further down the hole. Reasoning that "it could've been worse" after the fact is no excuse for such a disgraceful action. It pays no honor to the brave souls who founded this country.

Unless Ron Paul! -Lorax

And guess who´s doing well among independents?

It´s doctor Ron....wait for it!....PAAAUUULLL!!!

I have a better version

When Fascism goes to sleep, it checks under the bed for Ron Paul!

I certainly can't stand either Romney or Obama

Ron Paul HAS the best shot of beating Obama. Not only that, but Ron Paul in an honest election WOULD decimate Obama.

I'm not someone who votes against another candidate by voting for someone else. The lesser of 2 evils still gives me evil and there's no way in hell that I'm gonna approve of the lesser of 2 evils concept by voting for what most consider to be the lesser of 2 evils!

What an AWESOME thing it would be for Ron Paul to win the nomination. With all the shenanigans going on, I hope it's the case. I will fantasize about that until it's actually final who the nominee really is!

Love Liberty, be Vigilant

Faith in God will prevail all things!

The Romney campaign is

The Romney campaign is imploding folks.
Introduce a new currancy backed by gold and let it compete with the federal reserve notes. The federal reserve would then self destruct leaving only the sound money. I think I'm beginning to see something similar with the Ron Paul campaign. Ron Paul the valuable one.

We shall see.

Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
