A co-worker and loyal Ron Paul supporter recently went to her home state GOP convention (Nevada). She said that the state Republican parties are corrupt and cheat in order to install the GOP candidate of choice (ie chosen by the elite Republican leaders). This year (apparently, at least so far) Ron Paul delegates dominated the Nevada state convention. But from what I understand, they (Ron Paul supporters) have been sidelined, sidestepped, outmaneuvered with obscure rules, and just plain old ignored for quite a few election cycles.
Can't say that I support Ron Paul or that I defend his supporters or their behaviour. I know very little about the man or his supporters. Except that I am led to believe that he can win votes from Republicans, Independants, and Democrats too. Supposedly. He is anti-Federal Reserve, and anti-war. That about sums up what I know about him.
But I can say that I find it interesting the way the media is ignoring Sen Paul, in spite of the fact that he has many delegates. IMHO our 2-party system is a corrupt, force-fed, symbiotic / incestuous system that does no credit to our Republic.
If he gets the nomination, I will vote for him; figure out who I am talking about --maybe either of them, I dunno. Guess I am saying that I am enough ready for a change that I can put up with Ron Paul's peculiarities. Any anti-federal reserve candidate is bound to have some peculiarities.
Actually, Romney isn't likeable at all ~ he's also terribly impolite, and his followers are among the most obnoxious people I've ever encountered on the internet.
And I'm not even a Paul supporter.
So, what is it gang, are the Paul supporters "obnoxious" because you want us to believe they are, or are they "obnoxious'?
I suspect it's a coverup
