Then why do so many in the military support RP?

[VicVega]

Did Chuck Norris endorse Ron Paul? Thought he would go for Perry or Newt.

You must love spam. You eat it up.

[jazusamo]

I know paulistas and the LSM say that. I know many Vets and some active and not a one supports the turkey.

[madison10]

What? Yo' bama is running as a "Republican?"

The only difference between RP and BHO is the letter behind their names/so-called party affiliations.

[Scoutmaster]

That pic is worth many words.

I had the choice of a boring Sugar Bowl or Photoshop. I chose Photoshop.

If Ron Paul were the nominee, I’d do the same thing I did last time: Vote for every race except President.

[Scoutmaster]

Then why do so many in the military support RP?

Two answers: (a) "So many" isn't frequently used as a synonym for "a paltry few'' and (b) Veterans and Military Families for Obama has been losing members, as I understand it. I wonder where they've been going?

Well here is a fact check as of July 2011

That is exactly what I’ll do if it’s mittens or the newt.

[Scoutmaster]

Among other things, in July 2011 Paul hadn't made all of his idiotic statements about giving Iraq the bomb, and we didn't know that he thought we should never have gotten involved in WWII, and he hadn't admitted yet that he HAD written those newsletters (except that there are "8 or 10 sentences" that somebody else wrote that are a problem).

There were some informed nuts in the military, apparently. But I have more respect for our military than to think they would support Paul. Don't you?

[cowtowney]

I’m just looking at the facts. What facts are you looking at that the military does not support Ron Paul?

[CatherineofAragon]

“While we’re on the subject of self examination: did you know that Ron Paul supporters can give themselves a free colonoscopy merely by opening their eyes? :-

LOL, I don’t doubt it.

[NavyCanDo]

If he is a Libertarian then let him run as one. Why does he pretend to be something that he’s not. I know why - Because if he did run as a Libertarian then he would be just another retired doctor living in Texas.

Great, the Paulitards are pushing that tripe again...

[ejonesie22]

Great, the Paulitards are pushing that tripe again...

[muddler]

That’s no different than mittens calling himself a conservative.

[lormand]

No, someone added a graphic to it. This guy is the nude Occupy San Fran protester who made the news lately. The association to him and Ron Paul supporters is real and not photoshopped.

LOL!
