If Ron Paul is the nominee, it will be devestating for the Republican Party

The corporate owned and bank puppet Republican party as we know it....yes. I can't wait until we get rid of all those war mongers! The idea that Obama or the democratic party is a better solution for our country is absurd.

Currently, Establishment Republicans are issuing an obvious warning to Paul’s base: vote for Romney, or the Democrats will win in November. Clearly, they hope this ominous bit of advice also reaches the millions of Americans who are still learning about Ron Paul’s views. Well, Dr. Paul’s supporters have a retort: we don’t give a damn.

I imagine most Ron Paul voters would rather see a second Obama term than a first Romney term.

Bring it on Fatboy, Yoda might just surprise you.

I think you grossly under estimate the Lemming effect.
I think if an underdog like Ron Paul makes it all the way to the November ballot. His inertia will plow him all the way into the Whitehouse.

I am voting for Ron Paul for many reasons, but one big reason I am voting for Ron Paul is that I would like to buy a house.

At present, buying real estate around here is a very dicey proposition. The spread between the bid and the ask is huge. How can anyone know the true value of real estate when the government has created an artificial market?

So on this point alone, Ron Paul is the easy choice.

A hovel in every pot!

If you want to buy a house the solution is simple. Stop being poor.

I just want to know who ApocalypseFuck is voting for.

How is that a solution, if government policy makes it so buying a house makes no financial sense?

Then your voting for the wrong canduidate because the economy and the mortage market will collapse under Ron Paul so nobody will be able to buy a house, except for thsoe with huge cash reserves and do not require an income to make their payments.

How does government policy make buying a house financially unsound? To which policies do you refer?

HUD backs a large section of not-so-creditworthy prospective buyers into creditworthy. This creates artificially more buyer demand than you would have had otherwise, which also leads to higher prices (how much higher varies with location of course).

Therefore the buyer of the house has to pay a higher price than he would otherwise.
