See how hard it is.
See the dedication.
He is being covered with canvas? How original. That will WIN the nomination I’m positive.
What a genius!

Can you get Solitaire on the Internet?
Yea, if you go to gameshouse.com.
These guys sure do not know how to win friends and influence people for their candidate.
And the people slinging around the epithets: "Paulistinians", "Paultards", "Paulistas", etc. do?
When a (paid) Paulista rang my doorbell at 8:10 AM on Saturdey, that said losts about their organization.
Since Paulestinians constitute less than one-half of one percent of the population, they are the ones who need to be able to convince others of the rightness of their treasonous and stupid cause - normal people have no interest in winning Paulestinians over, since no one needs them.
You're saying that the more support your candidate has in the polls the more license you have to be a jack@ss?
Nice double standard you have for yourself there.
And I hope you remember these words:
. . . normal people have no interest in winning Paulestinians over, since no one needs them. - wideawake
Because after the election I don't want to hear whinging about how Paul voters will cost the Repubs the election.
No, what I am saying is that if you want to convince people to adopt an extremely noxious and stupid position, you really need to be as charismatic and charming as possible.

I thought Paul's position was that he was only running for the GOP nomination and that he would not run as a third party candidate?
So much for that.
In the final analysis it doesn't matter, because whoever votes for Paul on a third-party ticket in the general election would never have voted for a Republican in the first place. Paul voters, absent Paul on the ballot, will vote Green or Libertarian or Workers World or Constitution or some other lunatic fringe party.
As far as I know that is still his position.
Perhaps you could point out where I said anything about Ron Paul running third party in my post to you?

That's your opinion anyway.
I've been voting Republican since I started voting in 1986. This will be the first year that I'm not voting Republican for president in the general election.
Your warning, that Republicans should not blame Ron Paul for costing them a general election, implies one of two possible conclusions: that Paul will run third party or that his voters will boycott the GOP on election day en bloc.
This will be the first year that I'm not voting Republican for president in the general election.
Every Paulestinian makes this completely unverifiable claim.
Not necessarily; I would prefer to vote for a for a candidate for a change, instead of merely voting against a candidate, which I've done during the last two election cycles. I'll pull the lever for the R in the general election, but mine will be a vote against Hillary or Obama. Any way you slice it, the current slate of Republican candidates flat-out sucks.
Please look again. I said not to blame Ron Paul voters.
You know, the ones you are continuing to insult in this very thread and are saying that they don't number enough to matter in the general election?
I didn't bring Ron Paul himself into the conversation.
The main reason why they don't matter to the GOP in a general election is that they are not GOP voters.
How about acting like adults and telling me why I should support your candidate and not insult me.
If you think insulting me (me being the person you are trying to convince that RP is the best candidate) is going to convince me you are sadly mistaken.
There are many RP supporters where I live in southern California.
Without exception, without exception, without exception when a discussion arises and I say although RP has some great ideas for smaller / limited government, I do not think his foreign policy is correct, that I believe him to be naive in this area, what I get is:
Whats wrong with you? Do you think the constitution allows illegal wars, all we have to is talk to these people, the US has no real enemies, its not our job to policy anything, we are going bankrupt because of illegal wars, what you like big out of control government . Globalization needs to be stopped, eliminate the IRS its unConstitutional, why would you vote for a RHINO........bladee daa.........
the bottom line is: if you do not vote RP, you are an idiot.
Hardly a way to win friends and influence people to your candidate.
How’d that “canvasing” work out?
