"Dump McCain!"

0 votes

Winning the convention for Ron Paul will take getting as many Paul delgates there as possible AND convincing those delegates who might support McCain to vote otherwise.

Many traditional Republicans who will not accept McCain as the nominee. This group is organizing to 'dump McCain':

"John McCain has spent his life as a Republican advancing the agenda of the Democratic Party. He has spent his life-time riding on his war record as a prisoner in North Vietnam. He has spent his career in theRepublican Party seeing how much he could get away with, without being thrown out. It is time to throw him out.

His platform for the Presidency is perpetual war in the Middle East,
outsourcing of American jobs, free trade, higher taxes, open borders
massive immigration and amnesty for illegal aliens. These are positions that Americans uniformly reject.

John McCain as a presidential candidate for Republicans would be
catastrophic in November for every Republican on the ballot in November. John McCain as President would be catastrophic for the United States.

I urge the Republican Party to dump John McCain and my fellow Americans not to vote for McCain, if unfortunately, the Republicans nominate him.

If you agree, please send an email via www.dumpjohnmccain.com
to Republican governors, senators, state chairmen and to McCain, Romney and Huckabee.

You can also call the Republican National Committee at 202-863-850 or send this email as a fax to the RNC at 202-863-8820. Letters to them can be addressed to Mike Duncan, RNC Chairman, Republican National Committee, 310 First Street, Washington, D.C. 2003."

Attack ads on McCain?

McCain has gained ten points in the Rasmussen polls in about 5 days. What about some independent attack ads to cut his support in key states? How about exposing him for opposing actions to bring home POWs in Vietnam, apparently to keep them from telling on him for collaboration with the communists?

The official campaign can't do this, but why can't we? We don't need to cut his legs out from under him all over the place, just in the states with primaries coming up. This might be doable. How about this:

"John McCain sings [here put his singing of "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran"] and declares the joys of [here put his voice for 100 years in Iraq]. But when John was in Vietnam, he collaborated with the communists. Later, he worked to ensure that other POWs would die as prisoners in Vietnam to ensure they wouldn't tell on John McCain.

Now John McCain wants you to make him commander in chief. He wants a whole new generation of post traumatic stress disorder sufferers, POWs, and the slaughter of tens of thousands of our best and brightest.

How will he replace this talent? With illegal aliens, of course! Never mind the gang members, tuberculosis and leprosy laden food service workers, and the millions of violent and sexual crimes committed by illegals.

Just say no to John McCain. This message was not paid for or authorized by any candidate.

What do you think? Is it at least worth a try? The hope for a brokered convention is still real even if it is somewhat dim. Furthermore, this is not a "$2,300 limit" project. If we can find a wealthy benefactor we can get these running.

How about doing one of these and circulating it on the web? Maybe we could find a benefactor.

McCain's Hypocrisy

Someone needs to ask McCain why he says it's all right to trade with Vietnam and Cuba (as he proposed in 1995) but not all right to talk with Iran? Also, someone needs to ask McCain why he's so chummy with Joe Lieberman, a man who started his political career in vehement opposition to the Vietnam war.

Who could ever support John McCain for president.

Add These Links to EVERY New Endorsement of McCain

I can't sign that

...even though I had the form filled out. Then I looked at the text being sent.

This sentence is rough:

"I urge you will do everything in your power to prevent John McCain from becoming the Republican candidate and do whatever possible to bring him to defeat if he is nominated."

Instead try:

I urge you **to** do everything in your power to prevent John McCain from becoming the Republican candidate and do whatever possible to bring him to defeat if he is nominated.

On top of that it would be much better if you would allow one to add some of their own comments at the end of your text. I would like to add "Ron Paul is the only one who can beat the Democrats, and the only one with true, popular support not artificially manufactured via perceptions in the media. If Ron Paul had half the media time he would have twice the number of votes as McCain".

We need

DEBATES! How do we get debates. They stopped them because they don't want Paul on tv. We need them now really badly.

Pledging here might not be such a good idea if you are a delegate or want to be a delegate which is bound to the ballot voting for McCain. In NJ, I will be bound for the first 3 (ugh!) ballots.

What happens if you don't vote McCain?

I think this is still a free country?
Please let us all know. Did you sign a pledge in blood?

Replace McCain with Paul

A recent post in Huffingtonpost.com gets after McCain for his vote against a ban on Waterboarding. Lots of anger against McCain -- and the "Republicans". I've written in to this blog and others making the point that there is ONE Republican who has been "marginalized" (to say the least) by the leadership of the Republican Party which now is controlled by the neocons. Paul is not to be confused with this neocon Republicanism, but is, as he says, an authentic conservative Republican. It seems to me that a great many neoconned Republicans might be awakened to the fact that such as McCain are NOT conservative Republicans. The torture issue is a big one, and McCain's vote has alienated a lot of Republicans who might otherwise have seen him in a more favorable light. Now is the time for the supporters of Ron Paul to get onto the blogs and start to distinguish Paul from the rest of the neocon candidates. As McCain falls, Paul can rise. Hit the blogs! Yes, its fun to preach to the choir, but get out there and get after the torture-war sponsors of McCain (don't forget his pal, the slippery Lieberman) as well as the neocon censorship of Ron Paul.. these are "tipping point" issues.

Stirner.

Well, what do you make of this?

"Many traditional Republicans who will not accept McCain as the nominee. This group is organizing to 'dump McCain':"

So...what do you make of these articles? (All pretty much the same). The entire GOP leadership seems to be backing McCain...with all this support, and the recent endorsement from Romney, how will this group of "traditional" republicans succeed in ousting him?

Standard procedure

It's standard to hear the board of directors express their 'full faith and confidence' in some crappy CEO, one weekend before they give him the old heave-ho.

Not that that's their plan. It's just that sometimes they don't mean what they say, and sometimes they are not entirely in control of the situation.

Are Romney's delegates bound by his moronic decision to 'throw his support' behind McCain? How many of them detest McCain?

can anyone tell me if

can anyone tell me if R.P. will be in Wis. b4 the 19th when we vote here? Billery and yomma have been running alot of adds along with chuckelbe and Mccsane.

Scary...

Please watch this video and tell me how in the hell anyone could want this man in the white house. Since I have watched it I have been haunted and can't get it out of my mind. We are over if he gets elected. The Media and the American people are crazy if this is there idea of a man we want running this country if it happens we are over.
All i can say is do what you can to march for Ron we have to get our message out. This will haunt all of you when you watch it and it will make us all even stronger I hope...

On Larry King Right Now... Arrrrrg....

Larry just said something to the effect that "If John McCain isn't the candidate this year then something is screwy".

I spent half my day volunteering for the Ron Paul campaign, and I'm in this for the long long long haul. No way for single iota of support for McCain.... you can forget even thinking about it. Thankfully I don't worry too much as the Republicans are getting 10's of thousands of votes and the Democrats are getting votes in the 100's of thousands. Somehow the truth will find it's way to the top of this mess heap...!

No More Constitutional Lip Service. They can blabber and steal Ron Paul's talking points... but they can't stand on them..!

For those who already had their primary...

For anyone who lives in a state that has already held their primary/caucus, you should find out who was chosen as the delegates from your district and see if you can set up a meeting with them. this may only be possible if they are "unbound" delegates, I don't know.

Anyway, find some intro that won't cause them to dismiss you outright and see if you can talk to them before the convention. They should be just ordinary local people, so do what you can to educate them to the truth. If they are honest, they should be able to make the right decision and they may even know the other delegates and could work to convince them.

Jsut because delegates have already been assigned to another candidate in many states, don't let that stop you from trying to contact them and convert them. Could you imagine the shock if all of these delegates were to show up at the convention and cast their votes for Ron Paul, when they were expected to vote for McCain? That would be classic!
