Excellent description of the Paul-bots / Pauistinians / PaulTards / Paul-bearers, ponygirl! We see this bunch every year at CPAC (bussed in, for the most part). They hijack the stupid CPAC Straw Poll every year, too... I see them stuff the ballot boxes with my own eyes. They're disgusting.
Why?
Thanks for the post. Very interesting perspective.
A brilliant post. One way or the other "we the people" are our own worst enemy. I'm "absurdly" sick of the masochistic self-flagellation.
Toute nation a le gouvernement qu'elle mérite.
Ever heard of a pyrrhic victory? You may hold me in "low regard" but I respect you. I think you are on your way to eventually getting it. It's not necessarily selfish to quit playing a game where the house always wins. It's not necessarily selfish to risk dying on the operating table to remove the cancerous tumor. It's not necessarily selfish to abandon a sinking ship (unless you are an Italian cruise ship captain and you're the first one off).
See you in the surf.
I didn’t see all the debate, but Paul is not known, even amongst his (honest) supporters for being a great debater, which is sort of his appeal, no flash, all substance. :)
Because he is not a dissimulating statist, I trust him on the following subjects:
I believe that Iran is a colossal distraction and I get disappointed every time Ron Paul amplifies the distracting effect by saying stupid things about it.
Flash is all Ron Paul was going for in the debate. He was absolutely incomprehensible. He made no sense at all, he just kept going on and on, throwing out sound bites that were designed to get his immature base stirred up. Paul said nothing. He had no answers for anything, just sound bites that were unrelated to the question.
I think that Paul sees himself as the Perot of 2012. He knows that he isn’t going to win, but he wants to make sure that no strong conservative wins, either. He thinks that destroying the GOP will empower the Libertarians. Paul is a nut, but he is a dangerous nut.
Mr. Paul spoke Tuesday at South Carolinas statehouse, where he picked up the endorsement of three of the states conservative lawmakers days ahead of South Carolinas GOP primary on Saturday. State Sens. Kevin Bryant, Lee Bright and Danny Verdin added their backing to that of state Sen. Tom Davis, who endorsed Mr. Paul on Sunday.
More destruction?
Most definitely, more destruction. No true conservative would ever put their trust in someone who blames the US for 9/11.
Look, Ron Paul has absolutely zero chance of winning the Republican nomination. He is acting as a spoiler. The only possible reason for any political endorsements is because these politicians see Ron Paul as voting present on Romney. They haven’t got the guts to endorse a real conservative.
That is the major talking point in the MSM...
Ron Paul, DOC(Demented Old Coot)
This is not a game.
It's not necessarily selfish to abandon a sinking ship
No, but it is selfish to help sink a ship because it's a steam ship, instead of a sailing ship like your forefathers had. That's what you Paul supporters are doing. You should think of the rest of the people on that ship that simply want to get to a safe harbor...not abandon ship.
It's not necessarily selfish to risk dying on the operating table to remove the cancerous tumor.
It is when that patient is your nation, and you would send her to a quack to save you a few bucks.
Ron Paul is a quack, beyond a doubt.
See you in the surf.
No you won't. I'll be the one still here furiously bailing out water.
Have fun voting for the suction that is Romney. I can't do it.
Psalm 137:3
For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
Have fun living for another four years under Obama's thumb....if you fool Paulbots would open you're eyes and support one of the candidates besides Paul, we wouldn't necessarily get stuck with Romney.
Proverbs 12:15
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
You took the words right out of my mouth! :-)
“He hasnt had to go negative.”
OH PLEASE! RP leads in the number of mean attack and smear ads (and comments) against virtually ALL the other candidates (including now absent Michelle Bachmann).
“He hasnt had to deliver a speech to get past his newsletter-induced Reverend Wright moment.”
YET. His time is coming, to be accountable for all his leftist and racist associations - if he’s even capable of it.
And if he helps to re-elect BHO (to continue the destruction of our country), he knows what he’s doing full well, and he should be vilified as a traitor.
RuPaul talks a big game on the Constitution as it suits him, and his zombie fanatics buy it (because they don’t know any better), but millions of the rest of us do NOT. In twenty years, he hasn’t been effective in bringing about any of the changes he loves to blather about - he’s all talk.
This says it all:
Put differently, we are carrying a Jenga into a moon bounce, with the role of the Jenga being played by civilization as we know it.
Uh ... okay ...
These things inspire something more dangerous than fear in the hearts of elites (and of normal people who cant quite bear the thought of deciding to comprehensively reject the elites global leadership). They inspire contempt.
Natural a reaction as it may be for some, contempt for Paul, his supporters, and his sympathizers is so dangerous because it reinforces the sense that the response of the establishment elite to the global economic crisis should leave only a crazy person feeling worse than ever about the U.S. and the world.
I guess he's saying that the "establishment" has contempt for Paul and his fans and that they shouldn't.
Maybe, maybe not. But Paul's fans have just as much contempt for the rest of the party -- probably much more.
To judge by some of the blogs they write, Paulites are not victims, and they have more than enough contempt to go around for people they disagree with.
“Well I would call myself a Ron Paul hater, but I guess you would, but that’s no never mind to me because as I see it it puts me in very good company.”
I don’t know you well enough to call you anything. I have to assume that you’re a perfectly good person, and I will do my best to treat you politely regardless.
And don’t worry: I really appreciate the rabid anti-Paul folks. The more foaming at the mouth, the better.
