Can Fred Thompson Beat Ron Paul
Can Fred Thompson Beat Ron Paul?
I guess im looking for some validation for my support for Fred Thompson. I was in Iowa yesterday at a tax forum and was sad to see more Ron Paul supporters than all the other candidates combined. There must of been at least one thousand of them. I have never seen so many people show up in support for a candidate, who did not yet have his parties nomination. I noticed this at the NH debate also. Rudy, Romney and the rest each had about 50 supporters, Ron had several hundred. Everything I am seeing about his leval of support is the complete opposite of what the TV and the polls are telling me. Sometimes I almost get a feeling that the main streem press with thier scientific polls is all phony. Last edited by GoFred : 07-01-2007 at 03:41 PM.

Not only can Mr. Thompson win over Ron Paul, but he is. Congressman Paul has consistantly polled in the low single digits (if on the poll at all) and has no chance to take the Republican nomination.
Congressman Paul knows that he isn't going to take the nomination and is employing a time honored practice of running for an office for the attention- not neccessarily attention to himself, although some candidates fold over a national campaign for local gain, but usually for some political cause. Congressman Paul's presence in the race jerks the Republican ticket to the right which counterbalances, somewhat, the leftward tilt of Rudy McRomney. But in the end it is important that Congressman Paul remain a congressman, because once Fred is president he'll need every vote he can get in the House for tax reform.

Congressman Ron Paul is a medical doctor and Federal Representative from Texas. He's pro-life, but basically a libertarian (an odd combination to be sure). His reading of the US Constitution is so strict that "strict constitutionalists" think he's too strict. All in all he's not a bad choice, but not electable because of his outdated ideas on foreign policy and his following has sunk to the level of 9/11 conspiracies and personality cultists.
Which is too bad, because even though he's not my first choice, if he were still a credible choice he could (and may yet) yank the Republican nomination to the right. And with Republicans acting like old-fashioned Democrats (or worse!) we could use a tweak to the right.

Don't worry, we have perfectly legal ways of dealing with thrash like paul. He will not even be allowed in the debates soon. No Debates, continue the media blackout, and before you know it Ron Paul will be all forgoten about.

R. Beltram:
I'm confused. Why would we want to exclude Ron Paul and black him out? That's not exactly democracy, is it? Shouldn't each candidate be able to get their message out so everyone can judge them on their merits and let the chips fall where they may? If Fred has a strong message and stance, he should be able to win outright, without resorting to muzzling the competition.
