Nutty, huh?
He's the only one actually out there taking delegates away from Romney.
He's the only one out there promoting a sane, conservative fiscal policy.
He's the only one out there refusing to vote for the overreach of the federal government.
He's the only one out there pointing out that out military should be pulled from wherever it's not given ROEs that allow it to fight military battles to protect America by destroying the enemy and then coming home, rather than getting endlessly blown up doing pat-downs as a UN police force.
Nutty? There's about a 100 million American that agree with about 90% of what he says. Your tired meme is an ant against a tidal wave.
He’s the only one out there advocating that we allow Islamic Jihadist to get nuclear weapons.
We stuck around after the end of hostilities in Japan, Germany and South Korea, and it worked out extremely well. It just stands to reason you would want to exert control over a country after going to war with it and winning to make sure they remake themselves in a friendly form. Simply leaving after the war means risking losing your blood and treasure only to see the enemy reconstitute itself.
Not to mention, we need a military presence around the world as a counterbalance to would-be empires. Wherever we leave creates a vacuum that will be filled in by hostile, imperial powers to our eventual detriment. The Ron Paul foreign policy only works if you believe in pure "peace and love" hippie idealism where everyone would simply "make love, not war" if we completely removed our presence and influence. If you believe that, I'm sure there's an open spot in a Code Pink forum where you can engage with like-minded folks.
With all due respect,I must ask you if you have talked to the typical Ron Paul supporter.I ask this because the ones that I’ve spoken to around here are a little bit around the bend so to speak.
I'm part of this 100 million. Unfortunately, the 10% includes really delusional stuff like the Jooze conspiring to take over the world and no need to confront Islamofacism, because we provoke it by having our people over there.
Plus, there's a certain element among his supporters that make fascist brown-shirts look like Cub Scouts competing at a pinewood derby by comparison.
The comment wasn't that Ron Paul was nutty. It was that some of his supporters are. Big difference.
Nutty? There's about a 100 million American that agree with about 90% of what he says.
Then why didn't he win?
Your tired meme is an ant against a tidal wave.
A tidal wave that fizzled out with less than 10% of the vote. Hey, I like Ron Paul. I'm one of those people who agrees with at least 80% of what he says, though the rest made me unable to support him in the primary. Still, I'm glad he was in the race and raised these issues of limited government.
What a lot of people really resented, however, was the boorish behavior of some his supporters. Just the conservative/libertarian version of ill-mannered OWS types who equate shouting other people down to winning the argument.
You guys might have gotten further if the annoying tactics hadn't alienated so many people. Maybe that makes it fun for them, and they think it's funny. But it just comes across like a bunch of smug frat boys who think they're smarter than everyone else while puking on their shoes.
Yes, nutty was an accurate description of Ron Paul.
He's the only one actually out there taking delegates away from Romney.
Oh please. As of today, Paul has a whopping 104 delegates. That is still less than Gingrich has. Paul cultists are making jerks of themselves at some state conventions and swiping a few delegates here and there, but it isn't even remotely close to enough to make a difference. Romney has 973 delegates as of today and will easily win on the 1st ballot in Tampa.
He is, however, the only one who believes the traitor Bradley Manning is a hero and a patriot.
Ah! Well! The above explains why R-U-N Paul has ended his hunt for votes./s
And the point of that on May 14th, 2012 is what???
Newt is gone, Cain crashed and burned, Santorum is gone. Bachmann has moved out of the country. etc...
Don't forget Ron Paul stated the the United States didn't belong even in World War II.
What else can one say about someone with that viewpoint?
BUMP!
