Understanding a Blue Republican: You change party affilation to Republican just to be able to vote for Ron Paul in your State's primary or caucus.
To understand a Ron Paul follower you must first understand that the system is broken. By now you should of heard "We're a Republic not a Democracy!" - yet more than that the control of the 'two party system' happens behind the scenes.
When we are voting, in the primary, we are not voting for the person. We are voting for the delegates for that person. Still doesn't make sense to me either. So we have the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. In most States you have to belong to one of the two in order to vote in their primary. (A registered Republican can only vote in the Republican primary.) Yet, what if you're a Democrat and you like someone who is a Republican?
That's just wrong! ..... isn't it? It has become sacrilegious to endorse anyone not wearing the same colors as you.
Then you have everyone talk about the "Independent" vote. In Florida you have to write in "Independent" to join the Independent party – otherwise, you are marked NPA (No Party Affiliation) Become a Blue Republican.
The system is tricky. So we urge everyone to contact their local supervisor of elections and change to Republican (even if the word brings anger to your eyes) and think outside the box.
Remember the part about delegates? It gets better. We have super delegates! If you're serious you'll research this and talk about it. These 'delegates' are chosen on the local level, once again (system tricky trap), inside the 'party' with only 'party' members able to vote. In order for Ron Paul to win (inside this Robert's Rules of Restraint and the smoke and mirrors of this "Democracy") --- Become a delegate for Ron Paul at the 2012 convention! It has every information State by State.
When people try and argue about these "social issue" points it begs to ponder. These debates are within a broken system. As long as a private corporation has control of our money we as a nation are not free to choose our destiny. It almost makes every debate moot. For those who despise Dr. Paul - follow the blogosphere - not the Big 3 or their subsidiaries.
Let's make this a real revolution.
