Could Huckabee/Paul be the ticket? to win
I know. The thought of Huckabee winning is distasteful to me too, but here's my thinking.
Huckabee is picking up steam and he "presents" well in interviews etc. He has that mainstream presidential look. We all know, however, that his politics change like the wind. He is a weak man with no mind of his own. He's been stealing Dr. Paul's talking points and gaining steam because of it. People are listening. They are getting used to hearing it. But with him they'll never get to see it.
Now, what if we had a strong man, who stands by the Constitution, who is able to sway others in that direction, calling the shots behind the scenes, similar to Cheney and Bush only not insane and evil. With a strong VP, I think Huckabee can be easily controlled.
Should we suggest to Huckabee that he consider Ron Paul as VP if he wins? Should we suggest to Dr. Paul that he take the position?
I think we should. We should get him in there in any way we can. Forget third party. He just CAN'T do it. But, why haven't we asked him about Vice Presidency?
huckabee
Paul would not go for it
I would probably throw up on the voting machine if I saw that.
Are you suggesting that if you put a nice bowl of (Ron Paul) ice cream and a pile of (Huckabee) b**l s**t together it would be a good?
Liberty is our campaigns gift to the world it is our manifest destiny.
Freedom is a movement who's time has come. Our campaign will lead world wide freedom.
what good is a brokered convention if you wont make a deal with
either party?
Let's be clear. We can not get enough delegates to win outright.
There are not enough left if we won every single one.
There are three possibilities IF we get to a brokered convention.
Paul/Huck - Huck/Paul
Paul/McCain - McCain/ Paul
Huck/McCain - McCain/ Huck.
There are also cabinet positions, but we would have to gather a lot of delegates by the second ballot to be in a strong enough (leading) position to not offer the presidency or vice presidency.
We either need to decide where we can compromise, give it to McCain and Huck, or come up with another plan.
I'm going to be at the convention, and I WILL make a deal to get Paul a spot on the ticket. Yes, he will take the VP spot for US and the USA.
Now is your chance to speak up.
won't work for me
I am not sure I would vote a Paul / Huckabee ticket. I do not like Huckabee at a deep enough level I would simply not vote, if that were Ron's choice.
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.
Im for a Huckabee,Paul ticket!
Vote early, and vote often.

they should form a coalition
they should form a coalition to ensure there will be more debates. Hey, if McCain doesn't want to show, then fine, let it just be Paul and Huck. I guarantee if he didn't there would be more backlash towards him.
as far as Paul and Huck on the same ticket... well if and only if Huck were to see the light as far as our foreign policy is concerned, then maybe.
I would vote for Huckabee/Paul if...
At the convention, neither McCain or Huckabee had enough delegates to win the nomination.
1. Ron Paul gives his speech at the convention.
2. Ron Paul makes a deal with Huckabee for the office of Vice President in exchange for his delegates.
3. Dr. Paul drags Huckabee out on stage, in front of everyone there, and makes him swear on a Bible to uphold the constitution much like an inauguration.
Should Huckabee break this oath, Paul would immediately step down and the GOP can deal with Vice President Pelosi.

Do you really think...
Huckabee would accept a VP position in a Paul administration?
well, RP believes
that not only are the powers of the President regulated and restricted by the Constitution, but he also believes the VP position to be heavily restricted versus what Chick Deney believes. In other words, he would only do work permitted...Plus, I just don't think he would even vote for any other candidate unless they seriously had a change of heart and believed in the COnstitution and so forth, so I don't see him jumping on the Huckster campaign any time soon. IMHO.

This could work.
If Ron Paul doesn't win the nomination and is offered a position such as v.p. why turn it down. The arguments I read here seem reasonable but I disagree. Should he not run for congress because of its leadership? Imagine the influence he would have as v.p.! And if Huck is as some say and can be swayed easily by those around him would you not want one of those to be Ron. R.P. could take over this country with ideas the same way two barrels Chaney did. But not insane and evil. Good topic to think about.
Freedom!
Ron Paul is a man of
Ron Paul is a man of integrity. I can only imagine him choosing another person of integrity to be his VP. I do not believe that person could be Huckabee.
"Consistent principled integrity" is what we get when we support Ron Paul, nothing less.
...
NO NO NO!!
Paul/Romney I might be able to swallow---at least he has business sense but never Huckster or McCain.
ok that's the first new suggestion I heard.
I suspect we will make a deal for his delegates too, but that won't be enough to win.
No, no, no...
Oil and water do not mix.
Mike Huckabee is a panderer that will never mis a chance to use God's name in vane to get himself some votes. He is slicker than Slick Wille. They must learn that slickness in Arkansas.
I am sure he was a good preacher, cause he could talk the money out right out of your pockets. His next job will be on television.

There must've been
something slick in the water supply in Hope, Arkansas during Bill Clinton's and Mike Huckabee's childhood years

I don't think the ends ever
I don't think the ends ever justify the means and we need to stick to our principles through think and thin, and carry on getting the word out and just getting this movement that has gone so far in just one year to keep on growing until the people have the power again. Huck doesn't represent our principles and therefore we have to keep him out unless he changes a whole lot. Carry on the movement no matter what happens on this race and keep on getting the word out!

I love Paul
I love Paul, but I would do everything in my power to keep him out of the White House if Huckabee was anywhere near him.
