Do we have a younger Ron Paul person that we can start now with?

Ron Paul With a Plan B

I do believe that Ron Paul could do it again---it would be
very, very difficult for someone else to build up his political
capital (for the sake of Liberty). - And we should all feel very
proud for all of the work we did in the primary--this allowed
Ron Paul's ideas to spread like wild.

While I believe Ron Paul should run again, there needs to
be a strong plan B if he doesn't win the nomination.
I remember he said that he was forced to promise that
he would not run 3rd party in order to be let into the debates.
Is this true? He needs to find a way around this next time.
If he doesn't win the primary---Ron Paul or another Liberty
candidate must run a strong 3rd party campaign and at least
spoil it for the false Republicans.

It will be a different world then

.
I admire those who put names forward for possible presidential candidates. Some of them (particularly Ventura/Jones) are pretty damn interesting. And, of course, many people at Daily Paul are hoping that Dr. Paul will run again.

But Dr. Paul, in a recent TV interview, stated that he didn't know what the world would be like in 4 years' time. He was right. We might be under martial law, or some other horrible mess.

We are witnessing first-hand the disintegration of the U.S. and the West. Although the stock market has rallied the past few days this trend is not likely to continue. We all have heard Peter Schiff and Gerald Celente make dire predictions about what is to come. I am not a doomsayer at all, but I am a realist. This country is headed for the breakers, and fast. The whole system is rotten to the core. And, frankly, it needs to fail utterly. Otherwise we will be rebuilding a nation on a bed of weeds.

And yet, planning for a better future is a good idea. Finding an acceptable candidate and working with Paul's Campaign for Liberty will keep the spark of liberty alive. This is a good thing.

Ventura/Jones. They might not win but there would be alot of

excitement and fireworks. It certainly would not be a dull campaign. People are driven to entertaining things. If you want to help me with securing the vote, email me. That's a first priority.

No more Might Not Win

We have to put up a winning team. We cannot waste time spreading messages and watching fireworks. We MUST WIN.

How about someone from the

How about someone from the Republican Liberty Caucus such as Jeff Flake?

Jeff Flake supports amnesty

Jeff Flake supports amnesty for illegal aliens. Thats reason enough for me never to vote for him until he wises up and opposes any form of amnesty for illegal aliens like Ron Paul does.

Ron Paul of Course

Four years comes quickly and I think he'll be just fine to give it one last run. If not, then there are a number of other good candidates. I don't think we should be throwing in with any third party candidates, however. We need to fight power with power and that means we must fight within the Republican party. Ventura as an independent may be have a huge impact but he won't win it, especially with his love for the 911 conspiracy. I also haven't heard enough from him on economics. We need a president who fully understands economics, from the Austrians to the Marxists.

I hate to reference one of my own cartoons..

..But the GOP is a sinking ship. I think it's going down and under. Its only hope to spring back to life is if Obama follows up on this gun control noise that's being made in Washington. That's political suicide for his party.

Otherwise, the Republican Party is painted into a corner. Bush and the neo-cons all but destroyed it. I don't even think Obama floundering with the economy will help the GOP.

So 'which party do you choose our presidential candidate to run on?'--should be the question, in my opinion. And let's put away the idea of starting a new party. That won't happen.

So it's three choices: Republican, Libertarian, Constitution. Which do you favor?

Really, you have only a couple years.

Really, you have only a couple years. 3 years if you jump in during the last 8 months before the election. I think the minimum age (arbitrarily set in the Constitution) to be president is 35. (And I think it's 25 for the House, and 30 for Senate.) So anyone 31 years (since early january) and older right now will be old enough to be president when the next inauguration in 2013 happens.

I don't agree with having a president, but I don't mind someone running and inspiring others to follow the philosophy of liberty instead of what they do now. I would hope they're at least as consistent as Ron Paul, and a little more charismatic (people tend to like that more...I prefer RP's personality over a more charismatic one, myself). And if by some chance they actually get elected, I would expect them to do the right thing and dismantle the government as much as they can get away with.

If we don't have a candidate lined up by 2010, forget it.

We're political underdogs, whether we go Third Party or GOP. We need to start our campaign at least as early as the competitition does, and realistically speaking, the campaigns for president unofficially start right after the midterms.

I seem

to have come late to this thread, but someone was throwing around the name of John Stossel. What's the feeling about him today?

Stossel is too much of an

Stossel is too much of an open borders guy. He doesn't care about stopping illegal immigration and doesn't care about stopping a massive amnesty for illegal aliens. Those are reasons enough for me to never vote for him if he ran for office.

Stossel would be a great

Stossel would be a great white house press secretary.

Really like Stossel, but he

Really like Stossel, but he does not "look" presidential (or even Vice Presidential for that matter). Ventura and another high profile, respected person male or female would be preferred.

What is wrong with his look?

I don't understand. I have only heard him questioning in a goading type of way. Otherwise, I don't know. I like the fact that he came from the left and he is msm, but is he truly, truly one of us in all ways? Well, none of us is the same, we all differ one way or another, but he is small government, get rid of the fed, no wars????

Don't see Stossel as a VP,

Don't see Stossel as a VP, but he might do great things as a Congressman or Senator.

Rand Paul / Jesse Ventura.

that is if Ron isn't going to run.

Find out if you have a local militia - http://www.uaff.us/

Jesse will not take VP

to Rand. Season Rand with a Senate seat.

I like your thinking on

I like your thinking on Ventura, but Rand Paul is too new to the political game. He would still have far less experience than someone like Sarah Palin by 2012 when she will surely run on the GOP ticket again, a nightmare scenario.

He had the nerve to question the events of 9/11. I don't like people who ask too many questions of our wonderful Govt.

If Ron Paul will not run

will he run as VP??? As long as he backs a person from the beginning loud and clear, his support will follow where he points, but I'd rather he was actually on the ticket in some capacity.

Ventura/Paul 2012. Paul can

Ventura/Paul 2012.

Paul can add some conservative tinge and grounding to the ticket, but I think he will be too old to run for President unfortunately. He would be a perfect VP, though.

Ventura 2012

I think this

is the winning ticket right here.

Again....not Ventura.

Something about the guy creeps me out.

Jesse Ventura isn't his real name.

The guy was a professional (fake) wrestler and you want him for President?

He was a professional killer (SEAL).

We need someone with the demeanor and intelligence of Ron Paul.

He talks too large.

Even notice how he rocks his head back and forth? What's that all about? Autism?

Ventura has the raw material.

I don't know if he can make himself 'presidential', though. He certainly isn't now.

He has about as much raw material as anyone else in queue, which is to say some, but not an overwhelming amount.

That's your opinion, but I completely disagree

He became guv of Minnesota and did a great job, is a very visible personality, is able to promote himself and hold a capable argument against all comers and can explain and defend Libertarian positions... what's not to like?
