Quote: Now its Ron Paul fault? If Romney fails to beat Obama it will be because he is a bad candidate. A year ago Obama had already lost this election, all the republicans had to do is pick any person that the independents could vote for an they would win. If Obama wins it will be the fault of Romney an the people that chose him to be their candidate. Trying to lay blame on anyone else is a joke.
As for Ron Paul, he had more of a chance of winning than Romney does. No question that Ron is not strong with the Republican base but at the end of the day a republican would have voted for any of the republicans had they been nominated. Weather it was Ron Paul, Romney or any of the other people that ran, the vote would have been the same from the republicans an the democrats. They will vote for their party member... The independent vote is what wins or loses elections. Ron Paul was strong with young an independent voters. The fact that he is still being talked about after over a year of being blackballed by the republican party an the media shows how strong he is. Still, all the republican base had to do was wait an let the system play out an Romney would have won the nomination. But that was not enough, they had to break there own rules to blackball Ron even more. Not only leaving a bad taste in many independents mouth but also many of the republicans as well. Many of those vote that Romney had in the bag will now go to a third party or just stay home. That is not Rons fault, its the fault of the republican party an the mindset they went in with thinking they could do anything an still win. "because you fail to realize the consequences of your actions"
Last time I checked Ron Paul was not running as a third party candidate. Gary Johnson on the other hand is an at this point he has my vote.
If Romney looses its on him an his base. They need to look at what they did wrong an not look for who they can blame it on. "Its there fault for not voting for me" junk is a joke.
