Why Conservatives Should Vote For Ron Paul: The Impending Failure of Operation Chaos

I feels kind of strange reading it.

Rush's Operation Chaos sure was foolish though, or was that the point?

Ron Paul's Convention Speech

So, a candidate has to register or declare himself as a write-in in many states. Does anyone know if Ron Paul is going to do that?

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I seem to remember a couple of months ago that the Paul campaign made an announcement that he had met the requirements and was officially on the general election ballot in all 50 states.

If that is correct - your write in would count.
Also, if correct, this is the true message we should be getting out - that it doesn't matter what happens in the primaries, it doesn't matter who the party thugs nominate - as a registered voter, I can write in RON PAUL!

Doesn't a write-in candidate still have to declare himself to the secretary of (each) state?

Does anyone know?

Thanks,

You asked, doesn't this resonate with anyone?

My apologies for not commenting earlier. I've been busy copying and pasting your wonderful missive to send to many people. :D

Glad to come back and find you've corrected your last line, btw (write vs. right). Thanks for this post!!!

Those who espouse a vote for a marginal CP or LP candidate are not necessarily wrong -- just lacking focus. Frankly, it would be better for every disenfranchised voter in the United States to write-in NONE OF THE ABOVE than it would to vote for any of the above.

None of the current candidates, Baldwin or Barr, make any tactical or strategic sense. Don't waste your time in factionalism. Get back to making the GOP work for us.

This message resonates. It resonates in the heart of every Revolutionary who ever took Ron Paul seriously, listened to what he had to say and acted upon what he had to say.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine who is in the majority in the Revolution reflected here on Daily Paul or in thousands of Meetup groups across the country.

Are we people who have listened to the plan or are we people with minds so full of our "point of view" that the self-discipline needed to win the Revolution is actually missing?

Who is this Revolutionary? What is the Revolution?

Is it the Meetup Hero who dreams of glory in front of a PC screen, but who doesn't focus on grassroots organization, how elections work or bother to make inroads with the people on the GOP executive board in his/her county.

Is it the Constitution Party member who saw Ron Paul as a target of opportunity -- but someone who considers the Revolution and its GOP strategy as something irrelevant to their party's efforts?

Is it the lone libertarian who is willing to wave signs, but not willing to strengthen our hand in the GOP by switching party and sticking with the GOP -- to transform it in the name of the Revolution?

I'm sticking with Ron Paul. I'm sticking with the Revolution. It's time for Revolutionaries to call people on their loyalties. It was necessary at the start of this country, it's necessary now.

Some states have machines where you pull the levers; is a write-in possible there? In Missouri your write-in vote only counts if the person is a declared candidate, so if Ron Paul does not declare in Missouri for the general election, write-in is ineffective. I am sure there are plenty of stumbling blocks.

Why not instead vote for the Libertarian or Constitutional party candidate? If 20% of the public did this instead of voting for one of the Democratic/Republican tag team candidates, then we might get the attention of the sleeping masses.

This seems that all we can do is play the "pretend democracy game" until the human suffering becomes so great under the hands of our rulers that the pain from revolt is less than the pain from subservience. This is probable a decade or two away, and it is highly unlikely that those in power will in the interim free us slaves out of the generosity of their hearts. The power of Ron Paul is to open peoples minds with the clarity of his thinking, and to get us thinking and organized. One of the problems in the US is the masses believe they are free because they can vote, and otherwise ignore the reality of their steadily eroding freedoms, both civil and economic.

and most of the the other so called "staunch conservatives" when they were all too eager to participate in the Ron Paul media brownout. That only tells me that they are bought off hacks for their respected news companies, i.e. FOX. And have you noticed that most of the commecials on their programs are paid for by quasi governmental entities. It's all about money. What a shame.

Does this not resonate with anyone else here? Any suggestions?
