Ron Paul to bow out ?

Vote for someone other than Dr. Paul? Why would I want more of the same old nonsense. This country has been raped and pillaged enough. Surely you can see that.

 

How is eating horse meat a federal issue?

 

Ron Paul to quit? Say it ain't so!

What would happen to the dozen or so Paul supporters here that have this insane need to praise this old time loser? Would thse Paulbots go on to support their default 2nd choice obama? LMFAO!

 

Yes, cause those that want the constitution followed to a "T" would go to the most dictorial POTUS we have ever had. Maybe you could find us a candidate on the GOP side that has a history of not being big government and stepping over the constitution and we may throw some support behind them?

Is it Romney who said he would replace Obamacare with a federal Romneycare last night?

Is it Santorum, who is almost as corrupt as his mentor Newt?

 

I happened to miss where Romney said that. I watched nearly the whole debate, when did he say that?

 

There is no doubt that he would never get elected. I can only hope he doesn't pull out and go independent. That would only hurt the GOP.

 

He said it in the first 30 mins. It was a question about repealing Obamacare and Romney said he would replace it with something else.

 

He can always go back to Letter Writing ...

But I can't image Women letting him go back to his old Job.

 

They opened up pandora's box last night in SC. "Abortion"

Not one of the candidates was willing to say what needs to be said about the issue IMO. Ron Paul hedged saying it should be left up to the States but at the end of the day I doubt he will get the nomination.

The other three pretty much stated that they were for making a law banning abortion.

Regardless of what ones opinion/religious beliefs are on abortion, the fact is that it is a contentious issue with no consensus on either side.

In such cases the "correct response" IMO .. is "I am personally against abortion but realize that .. according to the Constitution of the United States which I respect and deeply love ... it is not the place of the State to force religious beliefs on others"

Followed by .. I believe in freedom of Religion and would not like it if one Religion was forced on all the people by the state.

Because I do not want this done to me .. I shall not do it to others.

 

So you are a Ron Paul supporter? This is the libertarian stance on everything really.

 

Alex Jones mentioned that Ron Paul should run the rest of his campaign via satelitte and youtube. so whenever there's a debate somewhere he can always be there and be well-rested. Campaigning is rough. no doubt. but Ron Paul has to keep going if America had ANY chance of survival.

And all of you people betting he quits, keep this in mind...Ron Paul wants to:

End the Fed
Repeal Obamacare
defeat SOPA and PIPA
Secure our borders
Get out of other countries affairs
Stop going to war for oil.

^ if you disagree with any of those key points, you are a fool and deserve whatever Obama is cooking up for America.

 

Ron Paul didn't come home to rest. He came home to recharge his batteries. He spent a lot of the time walking, running, and riding his bike (with no hands). He's only 8 years older than Gingrich. Newt looks like he could drop dead from a heart attack at any moment.

That's my entire point..If he is elected ..he cant govern.
If he is too old and tired..and I am giving him a break.. How would he lead..By TV and the computer ?
He would be like the wizard of OZ..a man hidden from the general population.
We could just elect REAGAN president and keep his speeches over the Net and his policies in place for ever..
Better yet.. get a Marriage of Reagan and Clinton in a computer generated clone to lead us...They wouldn't need to be paid..think of the savings !
We all have cell phones..our every purchase could be programmed for us.. eliminating fraud and waste..
The President would be a governing body..removed in a secure location... secure from public pressure and demands.

I can just see the Paulbots lining up for this crapola.
Basically we have a media led government right now...and we are not far off my doomsday deal.

 

Giggle...Tell the truth..he went to Nevada and Las Vegas for a fundraising event...with the big boys..not the common man.

This net is sooo cool.

 

If Ron Paul drops out, there is still Rick Santorum. I don't understand why more conservatives, whether independent or Republican, would not vote for him! Rick Santorum stands by principles, he's a much better candidate than Romney or Gingrich. Then there was Michele Bachmann, a real conservative, but again, most GOP voters can't tell a good candidate when they see one.
They're just like Dems voters, going with the status quo elitist politicians.

 

Bachman wasn't electable. Not because she is a woman, but because she is TOO conservative on social issues. If conservative people in this country want a republican in the White House instead of Obama, they need to be willing to accept a candidate that can appeal to the interests of the other half. Having a president in office who is going to dig his heels in on every issue for his party does no good for this country.

Which is the behavior we have been seeing in Washington since Obama came into office. Republicans in Congress are stonewalling every issue proposed by the president or other Democrats as a means of hurting Obama's chances this coming November. The more dysfunctional Washington looks at the expense of the average American citizen is a leg up the GOP have on Obama. Granted Obama has thrown his weight around in a manner that hasn't necessarily been for country first. But the root of the problem with politics is not politicians themselves. Its not the money or lobbyists. The problem is us. The American people are too concerned for themselves and their own interests in the bubble they live in. Once people understand that no president or politician is going to please them on every issue is the day we can start having a better government.

 

I can imagine that's he tired. I'll give him credit for doing what he's doing at his age.

 

For the life of me I cannot figure out any sort of difference between Bush and Santorum.

 

You're obviously confused in the difference between a war-mongerer and a conservative.

 

One is a carpetbagger, the other is synonymous with butt juice.

 

Oh and Ron Paul is a saint, right? You Paulbots attack other candidates and if I didn't know any better I'd say it was a liberal that was doing this.

Can you people please put a halt to the personal attacks of other candidates?

 

I don't support personal shots at politicians because I generally think it will do no good regardless of who they are. But Ron Paul has been called everything from a crazy, to a truther, to senile since his 2008 run not by his opposition, but by his party. Since 2008 his supporters were the instrumental people in forming the TEA party and empowering the movement in its origins. It was on the tailwinds of his campaign that a legitimate discussion about government spending occurred. Judging by your avatar I would hope you can appreciate that.

He is constantly attacked for not being a true republican, yet he is probably more responsible for the house majority the Republicans enjoy today than anyone else. Why? Because his foreign policy approach rest on the same axioms and principles has his domestic and social approach. This campaign could have been an opportunity for a legitimate discussion, instead it was "just ignore crazy uncle Ron." I am sorry but it us hard to muster sympathy for other canidates when supporters bite back.

 

Why do you assume I'm a Ron Paul supporter? As a matter of fact, I don't agree with many of Paul's ideas. I do think one day some of what he warns will become a reality. But his foreign policy is too backwards and just not a viable option. If we were living in 1900, his ideas would be much more appealing. Truth is the world is much more dangerous today and our presence around the world does make our enemies think twice before they act. But even that strategy of over extending ourselves will come back to haunt us. And on that note Paul is completely right. But I think he is calling for too much decentralization of the federal government. And that scares me. But then I remember that he has no intention of winning the nomination, let alone the entire election.

 

You know he's a good candidate when the best argument the opponents have against him is
"He's lookin' a little tired."
Yeah, because he's been busing his ass.
