Found the following post via Tom Woods Facebook posting a few minutes ago. It from Lew Rockwell, close associate of Ron Paul. I sure hope it is the case! Ron Paul 2012!!!! Here is the link to the post.
So far, Ron’s 2012 presidential vehicle has been his Liberty PAC, which can fund his travel, staff, etc. Once he sets up a presidential exploratory committee, just a niggling bureaucratic detail, he can raise money directly for his presidential campaign. And that exploratory committee must be set up to participate in the SC debate, which Ron will win hands down. Campaign manager Jesse Benton says Ron plans “to meet all the criteria and participate [in the debate],” reports the Spartanburg Herald-Journal. That means Ron Paul is running all-out for president.
Here is the description of the long interview as well as a selection from the article dealing with Ron Paul’s chance of being the 2012 GOP nomination. The conclusion in the interview is similar to what I think, that the GOP will not allow Ron Paul to be their nomination.
Introduction: James Jaeger is a Telly Award-winning filmmaker (FIAT EMPIRE) with over 25 years experience writing, directing and editing feature motion pictures, documentaries, TV commercials and multiple-camera live events.
James Jaeger: I am no so-called Birther, but Donald Trump is starting to convince me that Obama isn’t a U.S. citizen. If this is so, Obama is toast next election. This leaves Establishment people like Romney, Huckabee and Gingrich as the mainstream contenders. Maybe we’ll see Ron Paul, and even Donald Trump, added to the mix, but it’s impossible that either will be nominated by the GOP because the CFR would never allow that. So their final play will be for them to run as Independents.
Since the Tea Party will continue to stuff the House and Senate with angry, pissed-off Americans, there will inevitably develop a massive gridlock in Congress. Thus, it really makes NO difference who’s Prez. Ergo, there can be no SPOILER. A SPOILER is only spoiling something when that which s/he spoiled would have been able to have been effective. So Grid-lock = No Possible Spoilers. Americans thus might as well vote their conscience this time. And this opens the door to a Ron Paul and his running mate, a mate who will be the future president like an Abraham Lincoln, but with a Jeffersonian twist, thus making Ron Paul the John C. Fremont of our time. This is where it is, or could be, going. But if Americans are stupid, as Bill Maher says they are, they will continue to flip-flop back and forth for the God of Janus.
Daily Bell: So Ron Paul will never be the Republican candidate for president?
James Jaeger: Never. The CFR would never in a million years allow it. Even AIPAC would never allow it because one of their highest priorities is to maintain a U.S. military presence near the Israel, whereas Dr. Paul wants to rein in our military adventures. I however predict that Dr. Paul WILL run on the GOP ticket to do as much “damage” as he can. Then, after the GOP rejects him as their nominee, I hope, this time, he will jump over to an Independent run with Nelson’s new party or the Libertarian Party.
I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but if he doesn’t do the jump, that will be the end of his political career. He’s not a young man. He’s never going to have the health to run again and if he doesn’t launch the next Abraham Lincoln, he’s going to slowly fade out over the next decade as a “mere” Texas congressman . . . and we’re all screwed. As you will see in SPOILER, it is IMPOSSIBLE for the DemoPublicans and/or the Tea Party to bring the government back to its limited government, free-enterprise state of existence. Impossible, given the calculus of the system. Only the correct vision from a third party candidate, unencumbered by the special interests and fears of the DemoPublicans, can carefully move the nation away from the debt-based, monetary system and the runaway freight train of government growth, to borrow one of Nelson’s metaphors.
UPDATE: Ron Paul is running for President and as a Republicam. – 11/3/2011
I am a fan of Ron Paul and his views. I supported him in 2008 bid to be the President of the United States of America and I hope he runs again in 2012. His views on ending the Federal Reserve, war/empire, and liberty are right on!
Assuming that Ron Paul does run in 2012, do you think he should run as he did in 2008 as a Republican, or as Jesse Ventura recently suggested he run as an independent?
On Wednesday, Ron Paul discussed the moral hazard caused by government interference in the market during his opening statement in the Financial Services Committee hearing on “Monetary Policy and the State of the Economy.”
