Greetings all,
After finding in a previous diary that McCain was the best chance the Republicans had I thought some about what would kill them. Don't worry. This won't be a new theory for the GOP freaks in charge of GOTV. What we need is for the Ron Paul mania to spin out of control and lead him to run as a Liberitarian. Once again I am looking at ways we could influence the opposition but rather than looking at their best chance and our least painful potential loss, I wanted to think of the nail that would kill them. Imagine that? Ron Paul back as a Liberitarian, running as a third pary candidate and becoming the new Green party equivalent to kill the Republican's chances.
I know, I know... Some will say that we don't need to do anything special to win easily in 2008. Don't forget though that this is a party we are fighting that is willing to start new wars and kill lots of people if it would help them win an election. The one thing that would stop them dead in their tracks is an attack from the right. They know that and we know that.
What would do it is a concerted effort to prop up a third party candidate. This time I think Ron Paul is our man. He hasn't a chance of getting the Republican nomination, and if he did we would cream him. There is then nothing better to do than throw him a bone at every opportunity and build his confidence. Once he thinks he could pull off a third of the vote he will run as a Liberitarian.
This isn't any big secret. The players know the dynamics. What they don't know though is whether the wave would be there for him or not. I am not saying to vote for him, though that would help. Just give him props whenever possible. Against the war? We love it! Legalize marijuana? Go for it! Small government? Go ahead and try. Checking executive power? Right on!
Now you know, if you didn't already, so spread the word! Ron Paul! Our answer to any question. Hold the criticism for after he joins the race. Then we play them against eachother. He would split the Rethugs much more than he could possible split us, and even 5-10% would kill them from using their worst tricks to steal. Not much time left, so do your best if you are up to it.
