How long before Ron Paul posts are dropped?

in my opinion ron paul's lies are the most egregious

 

So back to my original question (sort of)

...where it your unbiased evidence that his are more egregious then the others?

 

How can anyone in their right mind hate this man?

 

Indeed.

And how can anyone be so apparently obsessed with hating this man as dujac and MnMilliBoy are?

 

The quote you showed are absolutely insane ideas, that is why.

You people live in a completely alternate reality.

Private groups to coin money? That is considered a kook idea.

Withdrawal from the UN? Kook idea.

Gun rights in school zones.. well we can go with that though.

Look man I hate to tell you but those ideas are considered bat (*)(*)(*)(*) insane in teh real world outside the internet!

 

Because fear breeds hatred and the thought of a lunatic like Paul becoming President scares the crap out of rational people.

 

Weren't the tea partiers shouting about privatization/getting Gov out of our lives just a short while ago?

Are you saying that the US is best served remaining in the UN?

Nothing insane about discussing gun rights, perhaps letting individual states handle it.
Again, tea party, state rights, personal responsibility...unless RP talks about it, right? Then its a kooky idea?

 

lolcatz, I can relate to Ron Paul and his futile efforts. As an elected politician I also had the right ideas, but I was unable to get the majority of other Councilmen to vote in support of my ideas. Now, had I been Mayor, things would have been different because I'd be presenting my ideas from a position of power and tremendous support of all the people who understood my ideas and voted me into that position of power. It's the same concept with Ron Paul.

In other words, if the majority of Americans support Ron Paul and his concepts for changing America by electing him to office of President those politicians that oppose Ron Paul could stand to be voted out of office. The power is actually in the hands of the people, but they have to continue supporting Ron Paul by voting out those that stand in his way and voting in those that support him. It would not be easy for Ron Paul, but with the proper support of the American people he can get things done.

Ron Paul IS empty talk. He wants term limits, He wants term limits so bad that he serves 35 years. THAT IS EMPTY TALK. THAT IS A POLITICIAN.

In Congress he had one vote, he did NOTHING with that vote in 35 years. As president he would have NO VOTE.

 

I dunno let's take a step back if you may..

The American dollar is near worthless and the whole premise of coining was to give our country a solid currency so it won't be so easy to abuse it like we are doing with paper money which is merely a ghost of real money to quote Jefferson (correct me on that Deathshead, I'm a bit rusty on that)

Secondly withdrawing from the UN is the next best thing since the UN is imposing international law within our boarders. It is to protect our sovereignty. I urge you to look at the intrusion of the UN before you consider that as a crazy concept. And yes I am a Bircher...

Gun rights in school zones. A lot less tragedies would have happened if that were the case.

I will agree that none of this is realistic, not in this political atmosphere at least but it can still be possible if we can tell the politicans and the left to eff-off.

Nope, it just scares the crap out of the establishment, although I don't think this is a best time for a pacifist like Ron Paul. We need a hawk, not a duck.

 

You should have heard Dick Morris go on about Paul in describing his as more of a liberal/leftist than even obama. I'll see if I can't get a transcript of that which I believe came from the Hannity or Oreilly show. But you are right--the guy is a kook who reminds me a little of the tiny hangrenade Ross Perot. Paul will probably end up running on a 3rd party ticket once the American voters can his silliness in the Republican primaries. Guy has 'LOSER' written all over his forehead.

 

And yet just a few weeks ago, most gave Ron Paul no chance to take Iowa...now he is the favorite.

And the thing about Paul's support is that once he gets it - he doesn't give it back (like the other candidates usually do).

 

i think sane people will be lucky if the ron paul posts are dropped any time during the next presidential term

 

And a few weeks before that Gingrich was nowhere, and a few weeks before Cain had no chance, and a few weeks before that Perry had not entered the race.
Now Santorum is making strong gains, NOT Paul.

Go to the race track. When the horses are rounding the far turn, the pay windows are CLOSED. They open and pay AFTER the race ends.

 

Thanks for the gambling lesson....but I didn't say he has or even would win, just that he is the favorite when weeks ago he was WAY down.

 

But he is NOT the favorite. At best he is in a tie. And a tie, not because he has gained much, but because others have dropped down. MOST polls have Paul in third. The Paul Hometown Family Poll might have him leading but I have not read that one.

Latest polls: 12/29 and 12/30
NBC Rom 23, Paul 21,Santorum 15.

IA Rom 17, Paul 17, Gingrich 17.

Rass Rom 23, Paul 22,Sant. 16.

PPP Rom 36, Paul 21, Ging 13.

Gallup Rom 27, Ging 23, Paul 11

 

Well, the last poll I saw he was leading, perhaps I was mistaken; I am not as obsessed about the guy as you seem to be.

Point is he is neck and neck for the lead...and his support seems to be growing.


And, no offense, but your point that he is not gaining much is ridiculous.

He was way down the list before - now he is at/near the top.

He has gained because people are getting to know more and more about the candidates and are deciding accordingly.

 

Paul PEAKED a week ago. His day in the sun was overcast.

 

lets keep in mind that winning Iowa is not that big of a deal.... the media is playing it up like they always do.... and every year its gets worse and worse..... pat won it one year and he did not win the nomination.... neither did mike in 2008. its not a fair representative of the nation to begin with.

 

We shall see.

And remember - you said it here that he has peaked.

 

Quite true. I actually expect Paul to win Iowa even though he hasn't a chance of gaining the nomination, let alone the Presidency.

 

Why not? If he can win 1 he can win others also.

 

And pigs can fly.

 

I'm hoping Paul gets deep in the process and eventually loses. Paul will have no credibility if he loses fair and square to someone like Romney in the nomination process and then decides to run third party. The whole argument for most third party candidates is this: "They didn't get to hear my massage... I didn't have a platform to give out my message!" Paul can't say that if he goes to the end and loses to Romney.

 

Not that it matters to me, but after Paul loses Iowa and begins to fade (perhaps quitting then), will any of you Paul supporters retrieve this thread and give it the 5 star reps that it will surely deserve?
