Movement?

Is that like an “evacuation?”

[gov_bean_ counter]

It’s a movement alright.

[Rodney King]

Paul doesn’t agree 100% with W on Iraq. Therefore he is a traitor who wants OBL to win. Or something like that.

"Young people online, they were really psyched about Snakes on a Plane, but that didn't translate into big ticket sales for Sam Jackson,"

That's because the movie was considered a joke, the name told it all.

And the filmmakers were anxious to please their online "fans" and reshot footage to include the internet "caption this" shot of Samuel L. Jackson saying "There are MF snakes on this MF plane!!!!"

That became the "money shot" but it wasn't by design. It was pure pop. Like recutting Rocky Horror with the audience heckling over the soundtrack.

And he wants to bring American soldiers home so they don't get killed. Therefore, he has abandoned and hates them.

[RavenATB]

Something akin to a bowel movement from what I’ve seen...but a small one, as I think he’s still trying to “crack” that enviable 2 percent threshold in national polling among Republican voters.

Ya-hoo!

That joke's been done. Twice already. If you're just going to come on and make dumb jokes, at least entertain us with something original instead of copying what's already been done.

[SoldierDad]

More like just a lot of flatulence.

[God luvs America]

or bowel???

No. Ron Paul stated in the debated that we deserved 9/11 so therefore isn't sane enough to be CINC.

[jrooney]

The Ron Paul Bowel Movement - there fixed the title.

This 9/11 conspiracy nut, Gulf of Tonkin fool, cut and run surrender monkey that if he had his way Saddam would still be in power to rape and murder the innocent, only movement will be into the crapper.

Much of his kookiness was flying under the radar. Not anymore. Once he is thoroughly trounced nationwide in his run for the presidency and exposed nationwide for his nuttiness, he will be beaten by a competent GOP contender for his House seat. Ron Paul's days are numbered as a congressman and you can take that to the bank.

If only the RP bashers had more than one brain cell to share amongst the lot of them, we MIGHT actually have some reasoned and logical debate instead of the sewage flowing from their keyboards as in this thread...

[hubbubhubbub]

Amen Brother. It’s time to send another check to RP.

[Allegra]

After MORE of Ron Paul's off-the-wall remarks the other day, how does anybody take him seriously?

The Gulf of Tonkin comment is hard to top, but I imagine he'll find a way to do it.

And to Paul's acolytes - do you people really think Iran is not a threat to U.S. interests? That we should just let Iran be?

Just curious.

[Allegra]

The reason Ron Paul's detractors have stopped trying to have rational debates with his disciples is because the disciples tend to resort to personal insults on the detractors' intellect simply because we don't support Ron Paul.

I had to smack one down the other day who made a very nasty, unprovoked attack on my integrity.

This is why we just make jokes now. We gave up on trying to have reasoned debates because it proved to be futile. With a couple of exceptions, Ron Paul fans have engaged in angry, hostile slander on any of us who suggest the man is less than perfect.

You reap what you sow.

[roses of sharon]

Some are afraid, tired of war/deaths, confused and not sure if we can win, RP offers shelter, and rationalizations to run.

(Its just that simple)

[Allegra]

Some are afraid, tired of war/deaths, confused and not sure if we can win, RP offers shelter, and rationalizations to run.

And others on here are aware of how critical it is that we don't give up now. There are quitters and there are finishers.

Anybody with sense realized that this would be a long war. It is yielding results and to quit now would be disastrous.

It's that simple.
