Paul's their all
The Boston Globe ^ | September 27, 2007 | By Lisa Wangsness, Globe Staff

CHICAGO - Late on a balmy Friday night in Wicker Park, a gentrifying neighborhood just northwest of the Loop, a small tribe of 20-somethings gathers outside a corner bar. Their leader, a petite, energetic 25-year-old named Meghann Walker, hands out leaflets to people heading inside.

"Do you guys know Ron Paul is going to be in town tomorrow?" Walker asks a short-haired young woman in jeans and flip-flops. "There'll be a lot of good people there, that's for sure."

Wicker Park is probably the most leftist neighborhood in Chicago, at least in the areas where white people live.

I would guess that about 90% of Chicago’s 9/11 Truthers live in Wicker Park.******

Gee, I’ll bet you really studied the demographics of the area.

That's the "Ron Paul Girl". She already had a mild T&A website and only added this as self-promotion. Here's the link to the video: LINK

Oh yeah, I agree. If Ron Paul could actually do everything he believes in, I’d probably take the bullet on the war on terror to get a radically smaller government, and vote for him. But, he can’t win the nomination, can’t win the general election, and couldn’t get the changes made that he would want to. And . . . he’s wrong on Iraq and the War on Terror . . . and many of his supporters are . . . well . . . they are not . . . well . . . ah . . . suffice it to say that an unusually large percentage of his supporters do not have balanced and informed views.

I lived in Chicago for six years and still visit often.

I'm pinging you, Borges, since you live in Chicagoland and you can vouch that if you are ever looking for a 9/11 Truther or a Dennis Kucinich supporter or a militant vegan in Chicago, your best bet is Wicker Park.

That difference here is that Ron Paul is running as a republican.

People on FR have just come to realize that a person who’s support base doesn’t believe that arab terrorists attacked the twin towers and the pentagon, and who doesn’t believe in the war on terror, and who believes in getting rid of NASA because it’s ‘not in the constitution,’ isn’t a good choice for president AT ALL.

Letting Ron Paul have power over the most important issue of the day (Foreign Policy), which is the one issue that the president has the most power over, would be akin to putting a large sign over America that says, “ATTENTION TERRORISTS, WE WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE FROM NOW ON, YOU ARE FREE TO ATTACK US AND ALL OF OUR ALLIES”

But still, I appreciate that you still have “hope” for “some of” us. Maybe we will all be “enlightened” to the way of Ron Paul someday...

Looking at what happened to their 2 neighbors, Afghanistan & Iraq, within 18 months may be a good clue to their motivation. Just buying some cover!*****

And it could have been genuine. Most Iranians are not Arab and the are not Sunnni. Almost all of the 9/11 terrorists were Arab and Sunni.

On here, Ron Paul supports get insulted in 2 out of 3 posts.

We shall have to work to pull that average up.

It's what you do best!

In the last decade or so, Wicker Park has been renovated and reclaimed and is now a haven for ‘free-spirited’ twenty-somethings. Politics aside, it’s a lovely neighboorhood with some great historic homes going back to the turn of the century.

Shiites have their differences with Sunnis and Arabs with Persians but Jihadis of every strip are united when it comes to Infidels.

I will vote for Paul in the primary...but I live in one of those doesn’t really matter it’s all blue states. Hopefully it’ll send a small Libertarian message to the status quo. I don’t know why people get all in a fluster over Paul...I don’t happen to agree with him on the war...but on every other issue he suits me juuuuusssst fine.******

Actually, I think Ron Paul is the only republican candidate that has a change of turning a blue state red. If his ideas become known, he will pull from the anti-war and labor bases in the democratic party. Given that Hillary will be the nominee, that could be enough.

Paul comparing the lives lost on 9/11 from intentional terrorist acts to traffic accidents on our highways is beyond the pale. Paul is an SOB that the GOP in his district will remove like an ugly canerous growth.

I think we should get rid of NASA because it is not in the Constitution. What is wrong with Constitutional Amendments that get debated, and require a supermajority, if we want to expand the Federal Governments activities?

LOL.Desperation!"I agree with Paul's ideas except the WOT but those others who support him are nit-wits."LOL.Yet another idiotic argument of how any of the other candidates can implement their policies,but not Ron Paul.He won't win the election,so I'm not going to vote for him.HAHAHA,You have really solid political principles.
