Also, just to let you know, campaign staffers who are mods on that forum have officially said the campaign does not like the idea of stamping bills.
My Boston Terrier,while admittedly on the gassy side, is more trustworthy to guard my house than Ron.
Spock has Libertarian Derangement Syndrome? Did he get it from those plants that sprayed pollen in the faces of the crew?
I guess people are scared of this traitor sitting in congress never mind the oval office
Paul supporters never respond to specifics.
I admit, I only ask for responses because I'm terrified by the fire and brimstone of the all knowing one who channels the Founders, but I only get that in soundbites.
A couple threads from four years ago below, on one on Paul's famous pronouncements.
I think it's fair to say he didn't get much support here then. People have been afraid of the Paul intellect, and the intellect of his supporters for years. Thus they disagree.
I need to bookmark that second one.. ouch.
Paul's momentum beats Thompson by 10 to 1, everyone else by 100 to 1 or better.
He will be the nominee.
Should he not lose in a very close race, is there any reason I should consider you anything but a propagandist or political cretan?
Or, since you appear to be using gambling charts, are you a tout?
Why are those in power so afraid?
1)Abolish FRB
2)Abolish IRS
3)Get US out of UN-UN out of US
4)Abolish extra-constitutional government departments.
There is no other candidate from either party who even comes close.
See 47. I’ve been aware of the fact that you can gamble on these things, but haven’t really thought much about it. An interesting market, unregulated as it should be, it’s gambling. Kudus to those who make money on Paul
What Constitutional authority President Paul would have to eliminate the CIA, DEA, NSA, FBI, NEA, FDA, FTC, IRS, and all the other things he says he will eliminate. Wouldn̢۪t that have to originate in Congress?
If he leaves Congress, who is left to sponsor a bill to do these things?
I’m not sure I understand your post...
Paul’s support is much lower than the front runners, so despite that his odds are doubling and trippling, he is at present only between 5-6% odds to win the Republican nomination, however, a percentage likely to increase in the future as judged by the past.
I used a gambling chart since they are more generally the best ‘objective’ predictors of these sorts of things.
I guess it is possible.
>> Why do Ron Paul supporters think that disagreeing with their candidate means that people are “frightened” of him?
Well, I can only speak for myself... but the thought of Ron Paul as POTUS /does/ frighten me!
(’course it’ll never happen...)
Only 20% of america (mostly liberal code-pinko types) believe in “just coming home.” He doesn’t even believe in a gradual pullout, but cutting and running immediately. The vast majority of the american people do not agree.
Ron Paul doesn’t understand the war on terror, or doesn’t take it seriously at all. Probably both.
This is the most important battle of the post-cold-war era, and Ron Paul and his liberal web spammers don’t want to not only fight it, but want to run away from it with their tails between their legs. They not only want to lose, they want to lose completely and in the most embarrassing way possible.
The scary part about a Ron paul presidency is that the one issue that the president has the most leverage is foreign policy, and ron paul’s foreign policy is, frankly, stupid and frightening.
What sort of things? If a gambling chart posits Paul as a 10 to 1 over Thompson and 100 to 1 over everyone else that's great.
I wish you success, and if I'm discussing gambling on the primaries, perhaps I'll listen to you.
As a vote predictor, in the real world, I think your chart is less than worthless.
We'll see who's right.
To those who lose money on Paul, you learned a lesson, I hope you didn't mortgage the homestead, or the IPOD.
