    I just had to share this WTF? Ron Paul supporter moment.

    I was in a store called Sacred Space in Durango, CO the other afternoon.
    The proprietress is a seer/healer. Does readings. Sells crystals and tinctures/herbs and other assorted spiritual sundries.
    The decor is sort of neo-fairy, if you get my drift.

    In bursts a man of indeterminate age. At least 40 I'd say. Sort of street urchin charming.
    He says, "Are there any registered Republicans in here?"
    Speaking only for myself (and before I could stop myself) I retorted, "HELL no!"
    But this being Colorado, and me not being a native, I could easily have been mistaken in my assumption that traditional "Republicans" are likely not hanging out in stores called Sacred Space. It's not exactly a "Christian" epicenter.

    Turns out the man was drumming up support to attend a Ron Paul rally that evening (in about 1/2 hour). Of course my son (19) and his buddy (20) are all over Ron Paul. Neither of them is registered to vote, however.

    So the thought occurred to me that here is this hippie looking guy who looked straight out of 1968 protests central casting. But instead of McGovern, the candidate he's supporting is running on the GOP ticket.
    He's looking for the radical fringe element to support Ron Paul and actually looking in a radical fringe kind of gathering spot.
    But there's just one problem.
    The "registered Republican" part stopped me short. It just sounded all wrong to me.
    Like "What's wrong with this picture?"

    So my question here is would RP do better dissociating himself from the GOP?

      Jeezus you people just won't stop.

      HE'S THE SECOND MOST POPULAR REPUBLICAN IN THE COUNTRY.

      NO - HE'S NOT GOING TO BE BETTER OFF AS A THIRD PARTY.

      However, if he DOES go to the Libertarian party (which might happen if the Republicans don't realize they need him to win against Obama), we'll finally have a federally funded 3rd party.

      Then haters gonna hate because "blah, Romney was too much of a douche, and so Obama won".

        He's the second most popular Republican in the country?  By what measure?  If you look at the break down of voters in New Hampshire, the majority of Ron Paul's support was not from registered Republicans.

            lol That's absolutely right! But that's one reason why I think Paul probably won't get the nod and will have to run as a Libertarian, if at all.

              Paul can win by winning the open primary/caucus states. Luckily, the democratic states -- usually open -- have a massive number of delegates.

              California and New York are worth 20% of the vote, and Paul's home state is worth another 10%.

              He can win.

      I can't believe the GOP has not ousted Paul from the debates--chasing him off of the stage by threatening to scan him with the TSA equipment. 

      Ron Paul's libertarian views are more in line with the dems--especially on civil liberties and when it comes to the Patriot Act.  But even dems find Ron Paul to be over the top.  He doesn't belong in either category, and he will be looking to run under a different ticket sooner or later.

        Actually, they pretty much have. He gets asked the dumbest questions:

        q1: "Are you SURE you're not a racist"
        q2: "Why aren't you a Libertarian"
        q3: "You are a Libertarian"
        q4: "Are you SURE you're not a racist"?

        And every pro-Republican news outlet constantly bashes him - they don't even bother to check their sources anymore.

        It's gotten to the point of absurdity, and, thanks to Ron Paul, my eyes have really been open to the Media, the political process, and more importantly: liberty.

          You've had your "aha" moment about the media, I see. Mine occurred between the time of September 11th and the run-up to the Iraq war.

          I would definitely read the stuff that Noam Chomsky has to say about the Western press. I know, I know - he's a socialist. But if you put that aside, you will recognise that he's spot on when it comes to this particular subject.

          Whoever the mainstream media serves, it certainly isn't us peons.

              It's the "voluntary" bit that people fail to understand time and time again, I feel.

              So often you hear somebody saying "It would be great if people did this" and it's followed by "Yeah, the government should make it compulsory." Or "Wouldn't it be a good idea if we stopped doing X?" is followed by "Yeah, they should make X illegal!"

                Voluntarism is MUCH more important than the label of socialism or capitalism.

                Capitalism is inherently voluntary, however.

                    Government is NOT voluntary because it gets its money through taxes; theft.

                    Capitalism is voluntary because you could just do nothing and starve to death. You own your property, and this is capitalism.

      My aunt, who is a lifelong liberal and straight Democratic voter, recently announced she is registering as a Republican so she can vote for Ron Paul.

      The funny thing is that although libertarians are often thought of as "conservative," they are actually more in line with Democratic policies than Republican ones: liberal on social issues, noninterventionist on foreign policy, and conservative on fiscal and economic policy. Libertarians are liberal on 2 out of the 3 main fields of government policy.

      However, they vote for Republicans because most of them are more interested in getting their taxes low than in the other stuff.

        Calling them liberal on social issues is a bit of an over-generalization. Some are and some aren't. The Pauls bother me because they value civil liberties that affect themselves as straight white men, but are pretty weak on those affecting women, minorities, and the LGBT community.

          I don't really see Rand Paul as a libertarian. Ron Paul is pretty liberal on social issues, such as drugs. The one notable exception is abortion that I can think of.

          But anyway, I was referring to libertarianism as political ideology or philosophy, and the believers in it.

      But you've actually proved my point, Evan. These people are exactly the demo being courted by Ron Paul. The idealists who want the world to be a simpler, happier place. How in God's name does THAT fit under the GOP banner?

            Actually, The Federalists (big government) were the first Political Party; then the Republicans came to limit them (they were called the Anti-Federalists by the Federalists). (The whigs existed for a while, but nothing too exciting).

            Gradually the Federalists collapsed, and then the big government cronyism infiltrated the Republicans. Lincoln was the pinnacle of corruption, as small government literally fought a war for independence to escape the big government Republicans.

            Then the Democrats were created to help limit government, which came crashing down during FDR's New Deal and Warfare.

            Then the Republicans came back around to small government, but the Cold War ended that. Reagan promised it, and then chickened out.

            And now, it seems, Ron Paul is taking the R's back to a time of limited government.

            AND WE'RE LOVING IT.

              Sort of.  The Republicans you refer to were actually the Democratic-Republicans and were headed by Jefferson.  They actually have a connection to the modern Democratic party by way of Andrew Jackson.  The current Republican party was founded in 1854 by a group of Northern Whigs, some members of the No-Nothing party, Free Soilers and others.

              And the Civil was about far more that Big Gov. vs Small Gov. that is a canard designed to play into the "Lost Cause" ideology that  developed in the late 19th Century.

                Right-o --- I was mostly trying to make the major points:

                1) The Republicans (anti-federalists) were originally for decentralization and state's rights.

                2) the political parties have been nothing but a fight over freedom and taxation.

                    The decentralization party of the signing of the Constitution was known as "the Anti-Federalists" by the Federalists, but to themselves, they were known as "Republicans".

                "No-Nothing party"

                That's the Know-Nothing party. The seemingly pedantic distinction is important, both in understanding why the party was called that (the serious reason) and in my joke about how of course the GOP had its roots in a party called the Know-Nothings (the silly reason).

        The loud-mouth Christian crusaders united under the banner of God to defend against what they collectively imagine threatens their absurd interpretations of the Bible.

        That's why registered Republicans like myself are almost ashamed to admit it. Those "good Christians" who are so organized and make so much noise make people think the GOP is a party of ignorant, crusading bigots. It's the same problem Democrats have in reverse, where unwashed dope smokers and welfare mothers with assembly line birth machines in their pants are made to represent all liberal ideas.

          Your descriptions of the stereotypes of both extremes is apt (and quite funny).
          The thing is, how many people do we really know who fit these stereotypes?
          Here on HP, there is quite a bit of ideological common ground on both economic and social issues.

    Notice to all you Ron Paul Republicans. He is UN-ELECTABLE. I do like some of his ideas, but his foreign policy is unworkable. It's that simple, he can't win even if hell freezes over and it will not. The question is do you want Brack Obama, with his liberal, socialist and un-constitutional acts as president for 4 more years or are you willing to support someone who is hell lot better than Obama. I don't like any of the candiates running, but I will except Romney because he is not perfect, but 1000% better than Obama.

      PS - Ron Paul isn't going to give the election to Obama. If anything, the Republicans will just fail to give the public what it wants.

      There are SO MANY Democrats who hate Obama. Their feelings? Ron Paul is MUCH better than Obama, but Obama is better than Romney.

      The only way to beat Obama this year is for Paul to be the President or VP. It will be the Republicans' fault if he isn't in one of those slots.

      Paul doesn't even have to switch 3rd party to make this Happen. I'm writing Paul's name if he isn't on the ballot. Reagan lied, Bush Sr. Lied, Clinton Lied, Bush Jr. lied, Obama lied.... Ron Paul is the only one who's had a consistent record of TRUE LIMITED GOVERNMENT.

    I support a lot of Ron Paul's policies. (Rolling back the global American military empire is one of the easiest ways to bolster this country's future, for so many reasons.) But he does not have a shot. Definitely no chance in the Republican primaries, what with big government conservatives, the morality police, Islamophobia and Mitt Romney's all-American smile.

    And he would have no chance in a general election because his views, though just the kind of radical thinking this country needs right now, are just too far outside the voting public's imagination.

    There is only one way he could have a chance in a general election (which again is academic because he's not getting out of the Republicans). About half of eligible voters don't vote in presidential elections. Contained within that half are just the kinds of radicals, kooks, freethinkers, oddballs and assorted other motley crews that would support Paul. If he could somehow get them to turn out, he would have a shot. But of course that's not going to happen because these people just don't vote.

    Much harder to do than you think. I know this because my son is attempting to do that right now. Extracting his inheritance from the system is a way bigger challenge than you would imagine. That could end up being a hub topic...
    Basically, it requires money to drop out.

    I did not say I didn't want to be part of the capitalist system.
    Heck, even the Chinese are loving (and reveling in) capitalism. I read recently how they are the new consumers of uber luxury goods. Way more than the Middle East.

    Anyway, I digress.
    I disagree somewhat with your definition of what capitalism punishes and rewards. Cheating is hardly punished. The capitalist system is not self-policing. The hardest working, most industrious person does not necessarily end up rewarded. Not at all.
    But that's an aside.

      "I disagree somewhat with your definition of what capitalism punishes and rewards. Cheating is hardly punished. The capitalist system is not self-policing. The hardest working, most industrious person does not necessarily end up rewarded."

      Very true, especially since Reagan during which time both parties have moved to the right so far as regulation of business is concerned. And there has been a huge redistribution of income and wealth from the middle class and poor to the 1%. The bursting of the housing bubble and the ensuing deep recession should be proof enough that Reaganite de-regulation has gone too far, especially in the banking industry. A certain amount of regulation is required to assure that free markets deliver honestly and fairly on their promise of efficient allocation of resources. The only argument is over which regulations are necessary and what they should be.

      Perhaps a little reading in the operation of the price regulated free market might help.  Another tool useful for understanding how capitalism works is observation.  McDonald's, Wendy's Burger King;  your local grocery stores, K-mart, Walmart, Target; etc.... all compete and force waste and expense out of their systems as best they can.

        The more government regulation, pork, money and taxation is involved in a business the more poorly price regulated free market mechanism function.  Airlines, oil, automobiles, banks, stocks, etc... are all controlled, not by an organic system like capitalism, but by a halting and haphazard proto-socialist administrative state.

      Liberals seek to replace the billions(maybe trillions) of economic decisions made each year with a few hundred or a few thousand made by a political elite they believe to be so much wiser and able by virtue of winning a "beauty" contest.  The decision to buy or not to buy made by a hundred million consumers is a much more reliable means of determining efficiency, quality, safety, etc... than the regulations handed down by a few thousand bureaucrats.

      The problem with the price regulated free market is the same problem with conservatism - it doesn't place the greatest faith in the almighty government.

          Business models change to fit the demands of the free market, mom and pop shops change to fit the free market(didn't you just recount a tale of visiting such a boutique shop?).  Progress or lack there of undoes all kinds of businesses.  Do you think Walmart or AT&T could get as big as they are without the interference, involvement or regulatory excess of the government?

          How many times has local government decided that "eminent domain" means more taxes from wealthier businesses?  Once government decides it must create utopia what limit is there to the abuses of property(money is property)?  Walmart, The NFL, Subaru, etc... all promise more jobs, more taxes, more influence to local and state government and all the government has to do is hold the property of the citizen in contempt.

          Ultimately the enemy of freedom is government itself - the great irony or the great paradox.  How can an entity be both the guardian of and the greatest threat to freedom?  The founders had the answer - severe limitation.  These limitations are what liberals wish to strip away in the false notion that by freeing government it will behave properly.  Government is a wild beast - best to be kept on the chain - but liberals have set it loose among the flocks.

    How about taxation without competent representation, or promised representation, or by only self-interested representation?  I agree with the view of many that 2012 is the time for Congress to be culled with judicious pink slips that teacht, as with a dog, there are certain things you don't do in the House or the Senate!  Throw the rascals out, and get some fresh American blood in our legislative veins!  Cronyism, nepotism, and haughty pride have walked those halls long enough!

    If we, the republicans, nominate ron Paul, then we may as well all just vote for Obama.

    Paul cannot take the general.
