The Third Man

I just heard, with grave concern, that Ron Paul may be heading up an Independent run before November. I've just fired off a message to the Ron Paul headquarters in Boise, to contact the main campaign itself and try to get this STOPPED!

Ron Paul is CLEARLY the best man for the Presidency, but at this point, all he would do is absorb Republican votes, which would give Obama the keys to the White House.

The liberal media did its usual superb job of keeping GOOD candidates squelched throughout this past year, so there is no reason to believe that Ron could mount any kind of assault with just 55 days left.

I wrote a couple of paragraphs on this, in my most recent letter to the Editor of the Mountain Home News, which we'll probably see next week.

But right now..........for any Ron Paul supporters who might be reading this blog, please listen:

We all worked hard to get Ron into the race. We believe in him, and that THIS is the kind of man we need in the White House.

But the race is too close now, to blow any "statement" votes. A month ago, I'd have said "go for it", but with Sarah Palin on the ticket now, we actually have somebody with some substance in this race.

For Ron to win now, he'd have to get practically ALL of the Republicans behind him and/or at least half of the Democrats, which ISN'T going to happen because with VERY FEW exceptions, Democrats are trained to vote only for other Democrats. If Charles Manson was running for office and had a (D) after his name, he's get a lot of support.................."yeah, he's one of US"

A great number of Republicans however, tend to vote their conscience, not their party. I myself voted for Cecil Andrus everytime he ran for governor, and I've supported Joe McNeal anytime he's ever ran for ANYTHING. Sometimes, the "other guy" or the 3rd party candidate is BETTER on your issues than "your" guy is.

If Ron Paul runs as the 3rd Man, he will pull badly needed Palin votes..........because Ron is good. He's the best one out there and too many people know it. They will vote for him, hoping some miracle will happen at this point.

If you're an ardent Ron Paul supporter as I am, PLEASE PUT IT ASIDE!!! He IS the best choice, but it ain't gonna happen. As long as the media exists, NO decent candidate is going to get enough coverage to give the public a fair choice.

We've got 55 days to go. McCain is almost as worthless as Obama is, but he at LEAST has someone GOOD on his ticket, where Obama does not. The Democrats have nothing on that ticket but charm, personality and propaganda.

Think country............not "statement." For the sake of ourselves, our kids and grandkids, it is more important to DENY Obama the White House, than to shake our fists, supporting a man who SHOULD be President, but won't be.

You don't need to be a math major to figure it out. It's disgraceful what the media has done, and NOBODY....I mean NOBODY detests this old "lesser of two evils" crap more than ME. Palin can do us some good, but not unless we get her into position.

A month ago, it didn't matter much. McCain against Obama............little difference. Biden was no surprise, just another anti-gun tax & spend liberal. Sarah Palin joining MCain's ticket, however, WAS a surprise, and being a "heartbeat away" as they say, that COULD come into play, given McCain's age and health issues.

We "Paul" people SHOULD support a ticket that has at least ONE good one on it............and Ron isn't going anywhere..............not with November rolling up on us like a state cop.

We've already made our "statement" in the primaries. Most Americans are still too "family-heritage-programmed" to think for themselves, when CNN can do it better, eh?

Guys and gals...........America first...........PALIN.
