It appears not. Those still soured and bitter over Ron Paul's utter failure this year still plan to go their own way and not do their part this fall to defeat Barack Obama. So be it. It's a lose lose for them. Obama win- "thanks a lot for the help". Romney win- "We didn't need you anyway."
This just baffles me. It really does. Now, I understand Ron Paul is the only true, limited government candidate. I understand that Mitt Romney is maybe a little too liberal for the average conservative. I understand that Ron Paul offers the only real vision for radical change in this nation's thinking. All good stuff. There is one problem though. Ron Paul can't win! Not, he won't win. He CAN'T win. There comes a point when reality has to set in for all. And reality is this. Mitt Romney or Barack Obama.
I am disgusted, and frankly extremely irritated, at this "holier than thou", idealist and non-compromising attitude from the Ron Paul faction. If Ron Paul had fared well in the primaries this year there is no doubt in my mind that the GOP would back him against Barack Obama. I would be his biggest supporter in the fight against the most anti-American, big government, far left president in this nation's history. But that didn't happen. Ron Paul showed he can't win. He didn't carry a single state. Maybe two at the very most, if voter fraud did indeed take place. Why should I support him? Why should anyone support him? Ron Paul could have at least proved to America he can win big somewhere. Anywhere. He didn't, nor did Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum. Mitt Romney is going to be Obama's challenger, and that is just a fact of life.
Instead of doing their part to remove Obama from office, they are going to vote for "Dr. Paul", despite the fact he can't win. Then they can go home with a clear conscience, pat themselves on the back for being a "true" American, then sit down the browse some more Infowars articles while they listen to the TV personalities gleefully spout about how Barack Obama has won a second term. "I showed those hypocrite Republicans. America deserves another 4 years of Obama for not supporting Ron Paul..."
Whatever. Like I have said before, online poll votes, spam emails, and Youtube thumbs ups don't win elections. Real votes do. If Ron Paul voters decide to vote Ron Paul in November like they did this spring, I doubt it will affect the outcome much.
