Ron Paul Could Destroy the Two Party System...

Ron Paul could destroy the very flawed two party political system. If he were to win the Republican nomination and in turn the presidency, he could then run as a Libertarian or and Independent. An incumbent president running against two other parties with the ideologies of Ron Paul would cause panic in both parties! He strongly appeals to the fiscal conservatives in the Republican party and just as strongly appeals to the Democrats who vote based on civil liberties. This sort of scenario could easily play out splitting the vote 3 ways and if he won re-election it would give credit to alternative parties such as Constitutionalists and Libertarians.

Wouldn't you just love to see establishment politicians bouncing off the walls in panic to posture themselves to garner support from not just one person but two people running against them? I believe that atmosphere would change our current process from that of a popularity contest into more a of a refining procedure. Politicians would more easily be seen as the demogouges they are and the more honest ones would stand out in contrast as would be expected when you have more choices.

I remember being told in political science classes that a two party system is far better than a mult-party system. After taking the time to research I was confronted with the election of Abraham Lincoln. The election of 1860 was one of the most important in our nations history in which Lincoln ran against not one party, not two parties but three parties! A four party race is what unfolded and the we elected Abraham Lincoln who is thought to be one of the greatest presidents in our nations history. If more Abraham Lincolns are what we have to look forward to with multiple parties, I cannot wait. I look forward to expanding our political options and limiting the options of tyranny. I look forward to voting for Ron Paul and hope that he does make a third party run in his re-election campaign. 

Ron Paul IS electable

The statement that Ron Paul is not electable more than baffles me as of late. I could understand that four years ago when people were still in a stupor, proclaiming the line of propaganda that "the fundamentals of  our economy are healthy".  After the market crashed and gold shot through the roof the Federal Reserve should have been revealed for the scam it is and Ron Paul the near-prophet he is!  These things (and the odd lack of attention from the media towards such a man) forced me to take a second look at the candidate that I once accepted as fringe. I researched his policies from A to Z (In his book, Liberty Defined, he literally defines his position on the issues in alphabetical order) and I quickly became a Paul-tard as the Levin-tards (see what i did there?!) would so eloquently put it.

Ron Paul has accurately predicted the expansion of government in every area. Each predictions have happened in the time-frame he gave for them as well!  He pointed out the abuses of the Patriot Act, future legislation such as NDAA, PPACA (that's Obummer-care for you Levin and Limbaugh listeners!), TARP, multiple wars and military adventurism and unstable conditions and the overthrowing of governments as what happened with the Arab Spring. All of this incredible foresight from a man that is so easily written off as un-electable.

On top of that many who call him fringe and kooky, are quick to support candidates like Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. What is the problem with that you might ask? Ron Paul is very literally more electable than both!  He consistently does better than each candidate in polls comparing them to Barrack Obama. What's more is that if any candidate deserve the title "un-electable" it is these two!  They have failed to qualify for the ballots in multiple states while Ron Paul is on the ballot in every state!

Whether you like it or not, Ron Paul IS electable. Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are not. Live with it.
