Why Anti-War Dems Need to Vote for Ron Paul in the Primaries
Jun 24th, 2007 by Brian A. Thomas
Why should a Democrat vote for Ron Paul in the primaries? So that the war issue is largely taken off the table and the debates can be focused on other issues. If the Republicans get anybody else in, then the only thing that will be debated for the most part is the war, and none of the other issues pressing this country. By raising Ron Paul’s numbers in the primaries, the media and the Republican party could no longer ignore him. Now, most of the front running Dems don’t support as fast as a withdraw from Iraq as Ron Paul does, so there may be some debate on the speed of the withdraw, but outside of that, the debates would focus on domestic issues to a large degree.
Some states would require a registered Democrat to switch parties if they want to vote for Ron Paul, others do not. Either way, party affiliation in that regards doesn’t matter in any other election, only primaries. As a Democrat switching to get Ron Paul nominated in the primary, you can switch back in time for the general election, or just let it ride and vote Democrat anyhow. The idea is to get the media and the GOP to stop ignoring Ron Paul and push to get him the party’s nomination to go against whomever the Dems put up.
