Is Obama Scared Of Facing Ron Paul?

Rick Santorum won the first match tonight but once the Romney machine destroys him the votes look like they are going to go to either Romney or Paul. Romney can't hurt Paul with ads really so if Paul ends up getting the nomination do you think Obama would be scared of facing him.

Not sure how much I like Ron Paul but I have to admit he has a solid record to run on and truly believes in his message. If I were Obama I would rather face Romney as he is more easy to campaign against with his record on flip-flopping and a more liberal agenda than Paul has.

 

Ron Paul is too easy to beat. Obama wouldn't even have to campaign that hard.

Obama's biggest worries are Romney and Huntsman, the only ones that are relatively hard to hit on policy and personal life.

 

This, essentially. A Paul-Obama matchup will put a bunch of states into the Obama camp or at least put them in play that you simply won't see if it's Romney. If Ron Paul were to somehow win the nomination, it would make 2008 look like a nail-biter.

 

Care to elaborate?

I'm curious what Obama would run on. Would he blame Bush all over again like in 2008? How would he explain his multi-trillion dollar deficit he's racking up? So much for ditching Bush's foreign policy... Can't run on that. Oh, how about closing down Gitmo? Oh, never mind. What about hope and change for the American people? How about he explains to the public why wall street cronies all support him. What about Solyndra? How about his assassinations?

How in the world can this man, who needs a teleprompter to form a cohesive sentence, beat a man who actually follows the constitution instead of taking a crap on it?

 

My point was that he could attack Romney easily on his record of flip-flopping but he would have a very hard time nailing paul on anything. He might not like Pauls stance on the issues but Paul has been consistent.

I am nowhere near a Paul supporter either by the way but doing research its difficult to find him straying from his path enough to make it an issue.

 

Wow, just go against the polls and forget that Ron gathers more independents and democrats than any other GOP candidate. Not to mention Ron was the first to win a 1v1 match up with Obama in the polls. Please, give some proof of your accusation that is based in facts and not conjecture.

BTW, Paul also gets NEW voters, young voters, minority voters, and women voters more than any other GOP candidate as well.

 

Romney vs. Obama wouldn't be as clear cut of a win. If it came down to Paul vs. Obama, Obama would get destroyed. As the OP said, Obama is deathly afraid of Ron Paul.

Last night's caucuses proves that Paul is a very serious candidate. even if Paul doesn't win the Republican primaries, he will be in 2nd place behind romney. He will defect from the Republican party and run as an Independent. He will pull alot of votes away from both Romney and Obama....probably enough to win.

 

American's are dumb. Obama knows it and the MSM knows it. The media will set the tone for the final campaigns. They will hold their 'mock debates' which will be loaded with virtually insignificant questions and will fail to bring up Obama's failings as POTUS. Things like the deficit, the failed stimulus, Gitmo, unemployment, pipelines etc. will be 'fluffed over' as if they held little to no importance. Pay close attention to their questions; The republican nominee will get loaded questions to answer...Obama will be asked what he had for breakfast.

 

The OwebamaCRAPSTER would have multiple orgasms if had to face the Political Idiot Ron Paul.

But, any rational person knows that the Political idiot Ron Paul has as much chance of being the Republican's choice as a in a hurricane.

 

Huntsman ????

C'mon. Get real.

 

He's also been crazy. I'm not basing this on the media's portrayal of him. It's watching him, listening to him. It's not gonna happen. If it does, it's the paulbots and democrats.

 

Oh yea ... President Obama is afraid.

 

Paul will NEVER get the nomination... EVER!

It's not because the Democrats are afraid of him, it's that the Republican establishment doesn't want someone who wants to eliminate the defense department as their front man.

Let me repeat, Paul will NEVER get the nomination.

 

You are 1000% correct on the OwebamaCRAPSTER.

But you're somewhere in La la Land regarding the Political Idiot Ron Paul.

The Political Idiot Ron Paul is the Islamist Swine's, and/or OwebamaCRAPSTERS' SECRET WEAPON hoping that this Political Idiot Ron Paul will go "Independent" and dilute the Republican vote.

The Political Idiot Ron Paul doesn't stand a chance in a hurricane to get the Republican nomination.

I simply can't understand why you people are incapable of seeing the OBVIOUS !!!!!

 

oh please. No one uses and then ultimately discredits our military more than the democrats.

 

The republican establishment doesn't run everything unlike many conspiracy theorists believe. It is very plausible that they will be forced to have him as their nominee. Will they refuse their candidate who won the most votes their money? Doubt it. The backlash would be horrible.

 

Ron Paul is the only candidate that could beat PrezBO...

all the others ARE PrezBO.

 

Correct.

I see many posters here are still stuck on the left/right, my team/their team "Obama, Romney, durp durp, what a horse race!" media-constructed mentality.

If Ron Paul were to be nominated, he would lock up the entire conservative base, other than a handful of war uber alles neocons, lock up the independents, who are independents because they don't buy in to media's manufactured reality. Paul will them proceed to spend the next three months destroying Obama's base by holding up a mirror on how they are supporting a man who openly stands rank and stupendous violation all their stated principles: a lying, spying, warmongering, American-citizen-assassinating corporate whore who uses the Bill of Rights as toilet paper and enjoys locking cancer patients in cages for smoking pot. By November, the Left would be too humiliated by their own hypocrisy to crawl out to vote for the shill. It would be glorious to see.

But it's not likely happen. Iowans have spoken: "Durp durp, Santorum gonna save us from dem gays a-marryin'."

 

Look at the polls guys. Paul/Obama equals beatdown in favor of the president. If Ron Paul were to win the nomination, it would put North Carolina, Arizona, Montana, Georgia, and Indiana in play. Much less assuredly put Missouri, Ohio, and Florida in Obama's camp.

 

No one is scared of facing Ron Paul. There is not vast conspiracy against Ron Paul. Politically, he is a joke.

 

I am a Ron Paul fan, to some extent, Wild. But in a national election, he wouldn't stand much of a choice. If his fans weren't so hardcore and the Democrats didn't love him, he wouldn't have been that high even in Iowa. Boosting him in the polls, like done with Kucinich, to hurt the front-runner, is probably responsible for his showing.

 

Nah, Obama would just have to make Ron Paul look crazy. With Ron's record and some of his speeches, it shouldn't be too hard.

 

You wouldn't even have to look that far back.

His website would suffice.

 

I like Ron Paul but Obama would eat him for breakfast.
His ideas are simply too extreme for most people.

You T-Baggers make issues like the stimulus...yet you don't even mention how it kept your sorry greedy asses out of a full blown depression.

You T-Baggers mention Obama's support from Wall Street. I ask you...does that tell you something? Why would Wall Street support a guy who wants to impose regulations and over-sight on them? Could it be that they recognize you people as bat-(*)(*)(*)(*)-crazy?

You T-Baggers like to bring up the deficit. Yet your own party was given a balanced budget. What did you do with it?

The lies coming from you people are laughable.
And they are gonna be your undoing...

Enjoy the next presidential term T-Baggers...when the dust settles and you ask yourselves how it happened...take a look in the mirror and then read some of the crap you people write.

 

Obama has no chance to beat Ron Paul IMO. and Romney or Santorum have no chance to beat Obama. that is why we saw such effort by the media to demonize Ron Paul since 2008, NOT about the racist letters (have not heard anything about that in 2008 ) but about how he is a crank, not serious, isolationist, anti American and so on.
