I am a married, 71 year old grandfather of 5. I do not live in my mother’s basement. I am not in an institution. I am still working full time as a consultant, and thanks to the fact that the company I contract with is afraid to hire, I am having the best earning years of my life.
I have grandchildren for whom I would give my life in an instant. This country is in a crisis. I have become a Ron Paul supporter. If I am willing to die for my grandkids, I can easily take the CR@P my fellow Freepers can dish out.
The more I see the way this election is going, the more convinced I am this is our last chance, short of civil war, to save it. I am now part of the mile deep, inch wide, support for the crazy man. I don’t know what line you have to cross to be Zotted, and if this crosses that line, than so be it.
If that is the case, my last request would be for my fellow Freepers to just consider if things are really as bad for America as we all seem to be crying about that we are serious about preparing for blood in the streets and how in the H@11 can you continue to so glibly spout off about the “dope crazy, foreign policy nut” supported by dope crazed kids in their mom’s basement?
At this point in time I consider the FED and Washington Elites to be a clear and present danger to my grandkids. The loss of our Constitution of more pressing danger that the presence of some nukes in Iran. Either it is as bad as most on FR are sensing it is, or we are all engaged in an armchair circle jerk.
If you have read this far, I thank you for your attention. I respect a reasonable discussion. You can save your own 12 old tantrums for the very few other kids on the block.

Sorry, while there are moments I can see some of what Paul says is helpful, his associations and other rhetoric are as dangerous as any from the other side.

There may well be blood in the streets at some point but it will be blood spilled by us, not by the Muslim horde. A nuke in Iran landing on you grand-kid tomorrow will preempt any need for concern about the “FED” etc.

What will it matter if we do not protect ALL Americans from ALL threats. We have to address ALL enemies, foreign AND domestic.

That is my non 12 year old answer, the rest is just fun with the resident Paul nuts, you'll see them on these threads soon enough and you may find yourself changing your mind on RP again...

Ron Paul is an intelligent man, he is, after all a physician.
I just do not understand why he is running as a Republican.
His views are not conservative. Most of his views are just plain crazy.
He will not support Israel, and will give a pass to Iran.
His foreign policy platform is not realistic. I think we need to stop a lot of our international interventions, but complete isolationism will be a detriment to our national security.

Here is something I see alot from Ron Paul supporters like yourself. You argue the things we agree on, then either claim that we disagree, or that "Ron Paul is the only candidate who..." bullcrap. What is missing from your "I'm a Ron Paul supporter" spam is your courageous support for Ron Paul's "Blame America" spew. Come on, be brave and explain how Ron Paul is right in blaming America for the Islamic caliphate.

Ron Paul's foreign policy is a fatal position for any sane person, but it is especially fatal for Conservatives.
