Ron Paul lovers and haters...

all this ron paul bullshit reminds me of the ralph nader bullshit of 2000. Yea they have some impressive points and yea a lot of people like(d) them but in the end they will only get enough votes to fuck one of the other candidates out of their presidency.
I'm not saying I agree with only having 2 major candidates (as a matter of fact it pisses me off that we have been reduced to this situation), but it is how shit works and neither I, nor you, can change it. All we can do is vote for the little guy and fuck one of the candidates (the one we probably would have voted fore if the little guy wasn't on the ballot).

Although I see where you are going... There is no comparison from Ralph Nadar and Ron Paul, besides both were underdogs going in. The support for Ron Paul is from a different avenue, and is not directly related to ANY type of American (rich, poor, democrat, republican, etc..)
I'm not saying that Ron Paul WILL win, but I do believe he has what it takes to do so. If people like his ideas, but disregard him as an option, his failure is certain. More people need to stand up against the mass media, newspapers, tv, and believe in Ron Paul. He has a fat chance to win, but I will stand beside him either way...That way, if/when he wins, I will know that I wasn't a fanboy (follower) and my vote for him (leader) made a difference.
I do not educate myself strictly on Ron Paul information. Of course I can find amazing things about him (or anyone) if I look into the spots catering to the views I agree with, everyone should look into the presidential candidates and educate themselves on EVERYONE. I educated myself with the other presidential options. Although I may not invest AS MUCH time on the others, I at least looked into their key points and looked even further for those that I had a somewhat interest in. Ron Paul has my vote, and if anyone feels he is the best presidential option, I encourage you to take a stand for him....regardless of his chance for winning.

Ron Paul is running for the republican nomination, not for a third party.

I understand your feelings on some of his opinions, and I am sure that some people look at his 'quick quotes' and dismiss him completely because of them. "End the IRS" is one that sticks out to me. Although I don't agree with the IRS, I think he would be assassinated before that would happen. But as far as dismissing him completely because of his 'radical' thoughts... My question to you would be, is George Bush's actions/reactions/thoughts less radical? The USA felt he was the right fit for Washington, and if you ask me (obviously my opinion is a given) his actions on most accounts is more radical than the idea of ending the IRS!Jason, I'm not saying he's too radical for me on some of these things, I'm saying he's too radical to get the nomination. I'd love to see the end of the IRS.
He has a hardcore group of followers, but he won't get the nomination because of things like abolishing the IRS, his isolationist foreign policy ideas, etc. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. :icon_geek:amicheze, your sig file cracks me up. I literally laugh out loud each time I read it.

other than his abortion views, I feel ron paul is the best person running for our presidency and will give me a reason to vote this year if he is on the ballot...What's wrong with his views on abortion...as far as I've heard he just wants to leave it up to individual states to decide whether to have it alot.
From what i've heard he's against gun control, against fighting other peoples pointless wars, for closing off the borders, against welfare and all the stupid handouts, for a lesser government control over the people, and against all the bullshit affirmative action...

Ron Paul is all about sticking to the Constitution. I think that (most of) his ideas are good, and he seems a lot more legitimate then any other candidate Ive seen. I remember a lot of his ideas being echoed through the US history books. It comes down to a few issues, Big Federal Government or Big State Government being the one that seems to stand out to me.
Im all about getting rid of or reducing Income Tax, more money in my pocket and more money to put into the economy (I like expensive things)
