If Ron Paul were running third party, and Gingrich was the GOP nod. Who would you vote for?
 
None. Not Al Franken either.
 
Gingrinch isn't going to be the pick. It doesn't matter who the pick is if not Paul. I'll vote for Paul as third party or write in Paul or Vermin Supreme.
 
I will be voting for Paul if he wins the Republican nomination. If he doesn't, then I will be supporting Gary Johnson and the LP.

I'd be very surprised if Paul seeks a third party candidacy if he doesn't win the GOP nomination.

I do agree Newt won't be the pick.

That would be one hell of a political theatre to observe!

Yes, because it would hurt his son's career.

How would running on a third party ticket hurt Rand Paul? Plus, Paul didn't seek a third party ticket last time before his son even announced running for Senator.

Because Rand is a new Republican Senator, and would be supporting an independent or Libertarian ticket. It would hurt his reputation. Get it now?

I'm voting Ron Paul as a write-in candidate if I have to.
 
My only concern with Ron Paul is who he might nominate for a Supreme Court justice. The Repugs appointments are nearly criminal and sometimes I think he has some mainstream Republican tendencies.

I'm concerned that Iran is going to attack us, otherwise I agree with a lot of the ideas Paul has. I even used to admire him, until I found out he is connected to Soros, and is a 9/11 truther.
 
I dislike Obama, I dislike Paul more. Al Franken is a moron. My vote would be for Gingrich.

I see. If you will just identify one country that Iran has attacked in the last 100 years to give some hint of reality to your concerns, I will be grateful. Also, I'd like to know more about 9/11, like why all the warnings were ignored.
 
Ron Paul is the only one of the three who does not worship FDR.

Beck connects everyone to George Soros or Van Jones except the people that are actually connected to them.

Did I say Beck? Heck, I didn't even mention Van Jones. I said that I had found out he is connected to Soros.
 
That would be a tough one for me. While I disagree with Newt on a lot of issues and I have concerns about him having an authoritarian streak in his nature and ethical concerns given his history, I like Newt and I think he has credibility on my main issue inthis election, which is the deficit and spending. He wouldn't go as far as I'd like to, but he would seriously address it. And I admire Newt's intellect and ability to think outside the box (even though sometimes it gets him in trouble).

Paul on the other hand goes way farther than I would. But I like the overall message of small, limited government, personal liberty, and non-interventionism.

I suppose if Newt was running in a close race, I'd give him the nod despite my concerns since I know Paul couldn't possibly win. If Newt was way behind, I'd be more tempted to go over to Paul.

Either Joe the Plumber or Larry the Cableman...since we are making a partial joke from this...
Barak Obama does not belong in this Three Stooges group.

Yeah, he is an unconstitutional president, because his father wasn't US citizen when Barry as born.
