Can Ron Paul beat Obama one-on-one? The answer can only be yes. First and foremost, he has one huge advantage no other contending Republican has. He won’t have Ron Paul running against him on a third-party line! Second, as a libertarian populist, he can do to Obama what Lee wanted to do at Gettysburg: outflank the opponent from the right and left flank at the same time.
In spite of their vocal disagreement with Paul on foreign policy, conservatives will stick with him since beating Obama is their top priority. Ron Paul can appeal to the left on a myriad of issues against a warmongering President who is a tool of Wall Street: anti-war, anti-drug war, ending the Fed, civil liberties, ending corporate welfare and opting out of Socialism Security. Those on the left concerned with these issues can comfortably vote for Ron Paul based on his view of his own limited constitutional powers. He will not try to dominate Congress or the states. He will not be an imperial president.
Ron Paul is the only GOP candidate who is strong where Obama is strong. He polls best among young people, Democrats, blacks, independents and voters in the Northeast where Obama won every single state. A Ron Paul candidacy puts into play every state that Obama won narrowly in 2008 and probably more than that. These swing states hold 136 electoral votes: Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Mexico and North Carolina and Virginia. Ron Paul would need the McCain states (180 electoral votes) plus at least five of the eleven swing states to win. There is no reason to think that Ron Paul cannot win every McCain state against a man perceived to be the most liberal president in decades.
Polls show Ron Paul is already competitive with Obama in seven of the eleven swing states. Significantly, he is virtually tied with Obama in the two states that know him the best, Iowa and New Hampshire

I absolutely agree with you. This beautiful country has been sold piece by piece, and this process began 30 years ago in the 1980’s. We have no sense of national pride left in us. Home of the brave is more like the home of the bone-heads. It is a sad story. It is the government that has permitted America to fall, not Bin Laden or some terrorist from the middle east or the KGB. As long as we have legislatures that serving special interest groups and lobbyist of foreign governments like China, Israel (AIPAC), our interest and concerns shall NEVER be heard or appreciated. Let’s spread the word and get a successful nation wide movement going…from my lips to God’s ears.
I agree completely and it is either now or never. We have to take it back now while there is enough left to salvage.
True, very true. The time is NOW…period.
period
yup…that’s how I feel. This is the message we need to send out. Idealism is dead, only a few of us have it. Since, we are so passionate about what we sincerely believe in it is we who are called NUTS and strange characters.
I gets I am just a nut case and I am definitely a strange character compared to the bone-heads, but I have always danced to a different tune.
Good. I have been a non conformist my whole life. The “odd one” one would say. It was hard during my childhood and younger years, but it has helped me build character.
I have always enjoyed going against the grain and it turns out to be a good thing, because it has protected me from following the disillusioned masses.
yes, very true. A strong character helps us swim against the tide. Unfortunately, that is not the case today, people rather act as sheep to satisfy their inner most desire to belong to the crowd. These are the true cowards and complacent people.
I agree, and that along with the government will be the downfall of this once great country.
Many people want to place all the blame on the government, while never realizing that it is “we the people” who sit back and allow this to happen.
Absolutely, true. We do not take responsibility for anything anymore.
That is because most people go to work, come home, eat supper in front of the TV getting their daily dose of propaganda from main stream media. Then go to bed, only to wake the next morning to do the very same thing all over again. We have became a “Zombie” nation.
So true. Even at work I only hear about sports and how much money a baseball player or basket ball player is making per year etc. etc. Nobody wants to know and nobody seems to care as to where this beautiful country is headed. It is so so sad, it truly breaks my heart.
It does mine as well.
