Climb On Board The 'Ron Paul Revolution'

This sudden, ignorant embrace of Ron Paul by people on the left is so weird that it's a little creepy. People who know absolutely nada about Ron Paul other than the fact that that he's "against The Iraq War" have suddenly decided he's great. In many instances, these same people would have turned up their noses at Ron Paul five years ago. Had they known anything whatsoever about him, that is.

Anyway, Ron Paul is not going to be a factor in any primary, so even paying this much attention to him strikes me as a boring waste of energy.

Even if he loses in the primary, he will still run in the general. And he will siphon votes..from the Republicans, not Hillary..

[Rush4U]

The more the big government republicans speak out against RP, the more I think he’s got something going. The Rudybots etc are running scared. All they have is some graphics and spam speeches to counter Ron paul’s ideas.

[Hydroshock]

LIKe I said like it or lump it, but these are conservative nra members nascar dads the the Republicans who have had their fill of Washington as usual. One sais it clearly, “I would not vote for GW or someone like him again if there was free sex from a supermodle as a reward.” And they do vote in the primaries dn the general election.

They are conservatives tired of the war and tired of Washington

Easy for them to say, they are not fighting the war. They, like all Paul supporters are COMPLAINING.

What the hell do you have to complain about? You do not see the face of evil day in a day out like out soldiers do.

Guess why they keep going back there year after year?

Because they love their children and they know good and well that THAT EVIL needs to be crushed.

Get your head out of Ron Paul's arse and face the reality that these barbarians do not have "politically grievances" they are evil and they want you to die.

They want Ron Paul to die.

If your man had any chance in hell of being POTUS he would be dangerous.

[billbears]

while his liberal views would be readily accepted by the powers-that-be in Washington.

And what are his liberal views? Everything I've seen from Rep. Paul is based on conservative principle, some of it so long standing that even 'conservatives' have forgotten it was originally conservative principle

[Dr. Frank fan]

They are conservatives tired of the war and tired of Washington.

Are they "tired of the war" because of how much it's affecting them? or because it's "tiring" to see it on TV? Just curious.

Ron Paul Revolution

A revolution is a circular motion and his campaign is taking on that motion (vortex).

How many times it will circle before it disappears down the "porcelain portal" is anyone's guess.

[NapkinUser]

Even if he loses in the primary, he will still run in the general.

What other things do you know about the future that no one else does, oh great swami?

[Petronski]

Like I said like it or lump it, but these are libertarian NORML members Rand Institute types, the Libertarians who have had their fill of Washington as usual. One says it clearly, “I would not vote for L.Ron or someone like him again if there was free doobage for a year as a reward.” And they do vote in the primaries in the general election.

Oh, and before when I said there were four, I misspoke. There were five.

Black Helicopter Pilots for Paul!

You're right that on most things, Ron Paul is firmly grounded in conservative principle.

The one issue where I would say he is not, is in his advocacy of surrendering a war to barbarians for no good reason (i.e., because we're "tired of" it). There is nothing particularly conservative about that stance, except in the most uncharitable definition of what it means to be "conservative" (i.e. cowardly, insular, lazy, sedentary...).

And the thing is, it's that stance alone which has given him this mini-swell of popularity. It's not like the antiwar kiddies love Ron Paul for his anti-tax platform. Hell, it's not like they even know anything about his anti-tax platform, or anything else for that matter, besides the fact that he's "against the war".

[Springman]

Air Amerika’s favorite Republican candidate. No thanks.

[Hydroshock]

The fact that you are so against Ron Paul is a sign of his merit in my eyes. You know a person by his enemies as well as his friends.

[DaveMSmith]

LOL!

[elizabetty]

Are they "tired of the war" because of how much it's affecting them?

Maybe it is because the big bad evil US military is killing their buddies, the islamofacists.

[cardinal4]

Give me a break, a third party candidate, even one with the right ideas will ensure a Hillary victory. Unless of course Al Gore runs..

[Zman516]

...They are conservatives tired of the war and tired of Washington.

We're all tired of Washington, granted, but I don't understand how people can be deluded into thinking this war is unnecessary. We sure as hell didn't start it, and unless we end it ASAP, on our terms, we are repeating the same mistakes of Euroweenies circa 1938.
