I believe that he's genuine in his beliefs. That isn't the issue. The issue is that those beliefs (and the fact that he actually believes it) are downright scary.

A lot of Republicans hate him because he makes it so obvious that the front runners are full of shit. They don't want him in the race to point out their hypocrisy and BS 'small government' rhetoric they preach but never follow.

No, any real Republican hates him because he's a disgrace to the party. :thumbsdown: :| :thumbsdown:

Real repubs kinda like Real christains...

Hmmm don't think I've met a "REAL" one yet tho......A lot claim to be the "real" thing!

As for Ron Paul... Well, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the freaks in this country vote another religious republic back into office... Matter of fact I am almost certain it will happen... I highly doubt any religious person is going to vote against the churches money train getting shut down. Bow now get on your knees for the good ol' green back! Vote with your wallet we don't care what happens as long as we get some born again that won't stop the funds to keep 10-12 churches in ever poke town in America running...

Sad state of affairs....

Here are his credentials:

1. Republican
2. Religeous
3. Texan
4. Possesses one of those "penis like" noses, similar to Bill O'reilly's (another nut job)

And hell be damned, but this country has not recovered from the last Republican presidency, and probably won't during this generation and the next.

Need I say more?

Boy, that's one of the most ignorant responses to a Dr. Paul thread yet. Please tell me you're not registered to vote seeing as you obviously don't know how to determine what a candidate's credentials are.

I'd rather be a disgrace to the GOP than to all of humanity like you and Bush are. If the Republican core dislikes Paul, I know he's doing something right.

And what has he said or done to deserve this from you?

Yep. Definitely a disgrace to the party. I guess Reagan was a disgrace as well... :roll:

Paul is saying a lot of the same thing that Reagan was saying.

Its a sad day when actually believing in the constitution is considered scary.

So much drama for such an insignificant player.

That's the problem with non-conformists, they all dress alike, talk alike, say the same things, and are easily swayed by minor Jedi mind tricks.

"Who is RP ?" is the reality of next year's primary.

 

[rpanic]

I haven?t seen anyone yet that I like on either side they all stink, R.Paul is starting to grow on me I am going to have to read up on him more. He does seem more honest, I have a hard time believing anything that comes out of the front runners mouths. Why can?t we have someone that runs that at least more than 50.1% population likes it seems worse every election, would be nice to have someone that most people can like.

Pabs, tell me what's so disgraceful about what Mr. Paul is saying here:

Stop Dreaming

For not caring about Paul, you sure do expend a lot of energy badmouthing him. It is quite amusing watching you drive yourself crazy over it. Keep it up! Dance for me my trained monkey!

Boberfett, that's the third personal attack in just a few weeks. All because I've insulted your dream candidate, who in many people's opinion (including mine) is a total Loon.

The fanaticism exhibited by the pro-Paul contingent on this forum is almost as scary as the Whack-Job ideas of your candidate.

That fanaticism, all by itself, is a big red button screaming to be pushed.

Aside from that, the pro-Paul contingent congesting the board with the same "Isn't he just dreamy?" posts is annoying, as they all pretty much say the same thing over and over and over.

I'm also sure you'll be disappointed to know that, while he is by far the most trivial candidate in the race and generally not worth the effort of generating a post, I can at least gather some satisfaction in the fact that I am obviously annoying you at least as much as the pro-Paul contingent and your/their "I've got SUCH a crush on Ron" postings are annoying me.

The fact that you feel you must repeatedly resort to personal attacks just underscores the lame positon (and candidate) you are attempting to argue.

It's like an annoying commercial on the TV or radio. I don't buy their stuff either. I send email to the station (and sponsor) and let them know that their annoying commercial has caused me to change the channel. It's (probably) not going to change what they do, but at least I know I've done what I can to express my opinion. No threats or name-calling, just letting them know that I think their commercial stinks enough to stop listening to them, at least for a while.

The only exception is Air America. Nearly all their commercials suck, but they suck so bad as to be entertaining (much like many of their hosts).

So, once again BoberFett, chill. You take yourself way too seriously.

 

[fskimospy]

I'm pretty sure it's some sort of horrible Ayn Rand "Who is John Galt?" reference. He does share most of her economic philosophy.

I would say read that book and check it out, but all ideological problems I have with her aside (which = lots) from a reading/literary perspective it's just a really poorly written book.

Heh methinx you doth protest too much.

By the way, Ron Paul wins Oregon straw poll

Boy, that's one of the most ignorant responses to a Dr. Paul thread yet. Please tell me you're not registered to vote seeing as you obviously don't know how to determine what a candidate's credentials are.

Wow, you really are deluded. Oh, please, your exalted Dr. Paul. :roll:
I am registered to vote and I do know how to determine what a candidate brings to the table, or what he doesn't. Apparently, you have not learned to make that distinction yet.

 

[First]

Modern-day Republicans are a disgrace to the original origins of the party's ideology and especially conservativism generally. Any true conservative that supports hacks like Giuliani or Thompson really should be ashamed of themselves if they truly understand what it means to be fiscally conservative.

I'm sorry, but you sir are the one who hasn't figured it out yet. If you think that Party affiliation, Religious tendencies, where someone is from, or what their freaking nose looks like has any bearing on a candidates credentials, you have no clue what the word "credentials" means. Maybe you should look at voting records, political and social ideologies, and maybe even what they speak about. You can dislike Dr. Paul because you don't agree with his philosophies, but the reasons you've given for not supporting him are straight up horse puckey and as previously stated, ignorant.

You realize that the first two are how 99% of the country decides who to vote for, right? If political party were irrelevant, why would anyone declare one? If religion didn't matter, why would the front-runners constantly pander to religious audiences? No, party and religion play a role in virtually everyone's mind when they enter the voting booth. Just because you may be enlightened enough to distance yourself from voting based on these things doesn't make them the wrong issue to vote on.

cre·den·tial: anything that provides the basis for confidence, belief, credit, etc.

Seems to me that political party and religion probably fall under this category for most voters.

I challenge your position. You have made blanket statements about how Ron Paul is a loon. But have yet to provide your logic for it. I want to see what issues you have aught with.

1.) What are his "Whack-job" idea's?

2.) Why is he a "loon" in your opinion?

while he is by far the most trivial candidate in the race and generally not worth the effort of generating a post, I can at least gather some satisfaction in the fact that I am obviously annoying you at least as much as the pro-Paul contingent and your/their "I've got SUCH a crush on Ron" postings are annoying me.

Here's the difference in what you just stated. You actually know you are annoying someone when you post. The others only post what their feelings on the matters are. This (IMO) shows intent. Not intent on arguing the issues, just intent on annoying someone. This also may relate to something else, that I will not post here, if you want to talk about it, pm me.

Aside from that, the pro-Paul contingent congesting the board with the same "Isn't he just dreamy?" posts is annoying, as they all pretty much say the same thing over and over and over.

Now the visual of this was just too funny :laugh:
