Question for Non Ron Paul Supporters

Yep I'm in a cult and obsessed about my country. You guys think because we actually care about the state of our country that we are cultish. That is pretty funny to me.

What exactly is it that you are obsessed about? American Idol?

 

I'm not real jazzed up about any of the candidates, however of the lot of them. Ron Paul has a firm lock on leader of the Nut farm. As I said, I've only heard things said about is "following" and the most collective group of them I've come in contact with have been on this board. If you call supporting that nitwit caring about the country that is certianly within your rights as an American. I would offer that you should expand your horizons a little, not be so closed minded but thats just me. I'm sure rex and good ol red will come back with a whole bunch of gobbly gook about how evil the republicans are but it won't change the fact that Ron Paul is a non factor in this election. Again, I don't like any of them and for me this election is all about who I dis like the least. Of course that being anyone with the name of clinton. I'd vote for Mr Magoo and yes, even Ron Paul if he were my only option other than that socialist.

 

Apparently you didnt read the title.

And I hate American Idol. I like politics. I just dont shove opinions down peoples throats like Barbara Streisand.

 

YES, YES, and YES!!!

Because of the way his supporters act I have done nothing to try and find out anything about him. No offense to his supporters here but seriously it gets to the point that the more you try to shove something down ones throat the more they will tend to back away.

I will give you an example of what I am talking about:

I was flying back from atlanta to orlando and the security line in Atlanta was outrageous! There is a bog group of people in the line with me that are RP supporters and going to Boston for his "tea party" or whatever he called it. Anyways we are all standing around and they have decided to try and get me into a political debate. The last thing in the WORLD I want to do with these maniacs is start talking politics with them, so I politely tell them that my politial beliefs are mine and I don't feel the need to have this conversation with them waiting in a security line. The lady says "ok then but if Ron Paul was president this line wouldn't be this bad!!"


:huh::huh::huh:


Can he control the weather also, cuz I didn't like the cold front we got last month???

 

That depends on how much time he spends on "coast to coast". If he can contact those aliens (the real ones, not the ones that sneak across the border in juarez) that art bell has been chasing his whole career then he might have a shot. Tough call.:lol:

 

I've noticed that the people that complain about our political process and the absentee of any "good" candidates are the ones not doing a damn thing about it. Thus preserving the terrible cycle we have grown to live with.

So why not go whine to your wives and let us active political people do what we must.

 

Paul's 15 minutes of fame will be over after tomorrow. Many of his supporters will return to watching the sky for spaceships.

 

Rex, who is to say we are not involved? Because I don't hop on the back of my pet emu and run around chasing little green men means I'm not involved. I'm going to my part and vote just like I always do and there isn't a whole lot more that I can do. Yeah sure, I'll speak my piece from time to time as to who I like and who I don't and why but what is it really worth. You do it ALL day long and I'm still not going to vote for Cosmo. I'm not going to throw my hard earned money at a candidate who doesn't need it or one that it will just go to waste on (cosmo). I could put a sign in my yard but do those really work? eh probably not. See I think this is close to what OT was talking about earlier, if you are deeply embedded in the camp of Ron (Mr Spock) Paul then you are blah blah blah. I for one can't wait until this clown drops off the radar.

 

I understand supporting a candidate who stands a chance. That's why I'm supporting Paul and not some really fringe candidate. Paul isn't as fringe as a lot of fringe candidates and he actually represents a lot of good positions. That's why I don't get it. People don't want to waste their vote, but it really seems they don't want to risk their vote on a candidate who risks straying from the status quo because fans of Survivor and American Idol won't vote for that candidate.

Either a lot of people aren't upset with the status quo or they want to support the lesser of two evils - they want to play the game. Our founding fathers sacrificed a lot more than a vote. They rose against the status quo and put their lives on the line against the most powerful nation in the world to stand up for what they believed. We are losing our liberty and settling into comfort and security.

Voting for Ron Paul is not a wasted vote. Maybe some of the smaller candidates are wasted votes, but Paul is more than just a blip on the radar. And if I have to choose between Romney/McCain and Clinton, I might as well waste my vote on a third party candidate because either of those two choices is a waste + a compromise of my own integrity.
