It would be interesting to have them tell us what they did in 2008. Many of them that we are seeing here supported Paul in 2008 as well.

The reason the republicans will lose again is because a part of America is feed up with pretenders!
We will not continue to vote for people who LIE, Do something different then they say and when the chips are down they ignore the constitution for political and special interest gain!
America will not survive another 4 years, it will not survive another war, another depression and another president who leads thinking giving corporations ONLY tax breaks and printing money will solve anything!
STOP THE GOVERNMENT SPENDING!!!! Perry spender, Romeny Spender, cutting corporations taxes will not solve the AVERAGE persons income tax issue and devaluing the dollar and government spending.
Any tea party no matter how much fox news tries to change it will not support Romeny or other pretenders! Remember that you will be left with a choice consistant princples or fakes who will probably beat OBAMA but still destory the nation!

Well that's just it. I'm not asking to be obnoxious--I really do understand their frustration, and I'm just curious how they've handled it in the past, and what they plan on doing this time around.

I voted for McCain/ Palin in 2008. I am or rather was, your typical republican voter. I would vote for who I wanted in the primary (was Huckabee last time) and then I would vote for the nominee in the general. I listed to Limbo, Levin, Hannity or whoever else was on the radio while in the car and watched Fox news. I thought Ron Paul was a kook and laughed at him even though I didn't really know anything about him.
We got rid of our Dish last Dec and I am not in the car that often to listen to talk radio. Earlier this year I started researching our food in the US. That led me to reading more about food freedom since the gov is so involved in our food supply, and not in a good way. I saw that Ron Paul sticks up for our food choices. I watched several speeches and then read his book, The Revolution. I'm (we're, hubby is too) sold on Ron Paul. We've never donated to political campaigns before now and we've never done anything other than vote, til now.
Not seeing much of a difference between Bush and Obama has helped sway us also. No more status quo for us. We will vote Paul and if doesn't make it, we will write him in or go 3rd party.
More than what you asked for but figured I'd give you a little more understanding of where I'm coming from.
I voted for Romney in the 2008 primary. I was in a big IL for Romney group with thousands of people. After the general, we brought in a ton of ex McCain supporters who realized McCain was a joke, and before I left the Romney Camp, the once loyal Romney supporters were sick of his position flip-flops, educated themselves more, and defected to learning what conservatism really means. Needless to say, the Ron Paul groups here have a considerably lot more local people involved, than the Romney camp did at it's peak in 2008. I see a ton of familiar faces from the Romney camp now, and even more people that weren't a part of the Ron Paul support in 08.
I find it pointless when Ron Paul wins or raises money or gains in polls he is ignored and they discredit the poll or the numbers.
Freedom has been replaced by puppets who tell you what they want you to hear.
Here i stand before you with people, YOUNG, OLD, MIDDLE AGED, BLACK AND WHITE demanding liberty. It appears the media will continue to not cover it unless it supports more government, more regulation and more socialism.
You Ron Paul fans make up in enthusiasm what you lack in numbers.
There is no conspiracy to keep Paul out of the WH. He's at every debate with the rest of the candidates. He's on TV all the time.
This is Paul's second campaign. By now, everone's had a good look at him, and have made up their minds.
You guys need to come to grips with the fact that, while many admire Paul's integrity, most Americans just don't agree with his positions. Or he'd be polling better, right? Or, he'd win a couple primaries, right?

You can disagree with him all you want, but you cant change the fact that what he predicts will happen in this country if he is not elected and or if things don't change dramatically will in fact happen, just as he predicted the housing bubble crash ... that was just the tip of the iceberg, and America is the proverbial titanic.
You may love this special interest de facto Government that is ruled by corporations and bankers and you may continue to vote for their farm raised insider candidates, but eventually more and more of you people(you are not insiders, none of you even if you think you are - and they don't care about you and will throw you away after they are done using you) are going to start to suffer for the bad decisions you have made and the apathy you have shown towards defending our liberties and rights and towards returning to a constitutional republic and sound money while we still are able to do so, and many of you will finally wake up to reality.
More and more are waking up every day, and you cant ignore that fact either ... Things certainly have to get worse before they can get better, because so many people must learn the hard way. Lets just hope there is still something worth saving when enough of you finally realize the truth.

So what are you Paul people going to do if someone else gets the nomination? Hold your nose and vote R, sit out the election, or put real effort into supporting a third party? I said "if" but I really mean "when." There's no way that the R establishment is going to let Paul get the nomination.
Write him in, and I know a lot of RP supporters who have vowed to do just this. And if that causes Obama to win, so be it. At least I would have been honest to myself. Obama, Romney or Cain, I don't see any real difference.
