Obama is very similar to Bush in policy decisions. This must be why they're so against Ron Paul.

How is that pathetic? First you insult the supporters of a guy that people are flocking to because they are sick of the status quo, then you act all taken aback when I find the hypocrisy of it hilarious. I distinctly remember you, Mforce2k, along with a huge majority of the youth vote, being obsessed with Obama from 08 - 10. What the hell is wrong with you? Is your memory that short?



It is pathetic because you're improperly personalizing it. I have no idea how you are picking me out of a crowd. I am in no way shape or form obsessed with the guy. All I have done since he was elected was post the occasional article or participate in a discussion, sometimes for him and sometimes against him. Hey, he is the President. He is kind of discussionworthy. But I have openly railed him on certain policies, like the pipeline and his inability to simply label certain events terrorism.

What you're doing is taking my efforts to call out the partisan hackery bull**** this board suffers from. The most vocal political people on this board hate the guy, so they only post things to slam him. Just because they seem to scurry away whenever he does something good and I choose to go "oh hey, look what this Guy did. Where is everyone?" Is far from an obsession. Being anti troll doesn't equate to pro anything else.


My personal feelings are that he has done an ok job. Not sure I would vote for him in 2012 but I sure don't see anyone better out there.



I "picked you out of the crowd" because you replied to the thread insulting Paul supporters right after I posted something.

And there go the criticizers of Paul crawling back into their hole.

Well my post had to be entered in at SOME point in time... You thought I was targeting you or something? I was not. I made a broad statement that had nothing to do with you personally unless you feel you fit in that category. I didn't even read your post or know that you posted right before me until right now. I didn't know you cared about Ron Paul until right now. I don't know anything about you.

I have no trouble believing that Ron Paul is a pretty honest guy.

I also believe that he wants very badly to clean up and change the federal government significantly.

I also know that there is NO way he would be able to do anywhere near as much as he wants to even if he were elected.


Also, he'd lose, so the above is pretty much moot. We'd be much better off if we could elect 30-50 more folks with his attitude to the House.

You know -- there was one time when Gingrich was a lot more like Paul.

Back in 1994 when he was younger and just became speaker of the house. The republicans were in control for the first time in an age and he wanted to change things. He proposed term limits, the line item veto, and a bunch of other stuff that was good for the country but not necessarily for the politicians. He couldn't get what he wanted through a republican house and senate. The LI veto was then struck down by the supreme court.

Whitman was the same way in NJ -- she wanted to have all of the schools fund at the same level to sidestep the whole "you must fund the impoverished schools at as high a level as the highest school in the state." She wanted to do all sorts of things but couldn't get them passed through other republicans.

The voice in the darkness doesn't get things done EVEN WHEN THEIR PARTY HAS POWER. The laws and limits simply do not pass. You can talk a big game when you are not in power but when you get the reins, the changes never happen.

Gingrich is no longer the same man as he was in 1994. He is now one of the people who stood against him back then. It is what happens to people.
