Lets see, he is against subsidies, except for oil cause you know his buddies are in oil
He is for a smaller deficit, but we all know he isnt.
He is for civil liberties, but writes riders into bills that are against civil liberties
He didnt write racist newsletters under his own name, but cant tell us who did, and has several appearances with white supremists
I could go on and on.

The oddest thing about the rabid Ron Paul supporters is that they seem to know nothing actually about Ron Paul except for what they are told to believe about Ron Paul, its really strange. No one can tell me what he has actually done, and no one seems to know anything about how he actually operates, all they can tell me is what comes out of his mouth, which doesnt at all jive with what he does in reality.

As a general rule I support ideas not people. People usually let you down. With that said I think Obama has a lot on any of these Republicons.

Also I realize to those of you that support him his actual record doesnt matter for whatever reason, you believe he is going to do what he says and I am not changing that opinion. Personally for myself when someone has been in office for 40 years and has done a lot of the opposite of what he says I tend to just not believe what he says anymore. I want deeds not words.

I'm not part of Ron Paul's campaign staff and I don't profess to know everything about him. I'm googling this Civil Liberties riders thing you keep mentioning and nothing is coming up. If you are referring to me as rabid you are barking up the wrong tree. I've acknowledged Ron Paul has his faults so I'm not sure what you are looking for.


What I DO know is Obama has a proven track record of not giving a crap about Civil Liberties as the freaking President, he's had his shot, and he's failed miserably. Why don't you criticize Obama for that? You support Obama but you won't admit it on here for some reason.

I'm not sure why my dislike of Ron Paul's dishonesty equates to liking Obama, I don't believe I've said much either for or against him. If you care to know my opinion on specific policies you can just ask. I've said many times I didn't vote for him.

Even if I did support him I'm not sure what that has to do with no one being able to tell me what Ron Paul has done to earn my belief his words will match his deeds. And once again saying you don't like what a politician is doing, yet you don't mind what Paul has actually done even when you apparently aren't for what he has done. Also tomorrow when I'm not on my iPad we can look at some of his riders, although much like his ear marks and spending you knew nothing about, I'm fairly certain you will excuse them away as insignificant


Edit god tying more than a sentence on this thing sucks

Obama was getting a C- from me - some days a D+

Then the Republicons demonstrated that he must be graded on the curve and they are willing to set the bottom of it.

He was against the Civil War (yes he was around then) and the Civil Rights Act. I don't know anything about his riders except the man loves pork.

I'd like to see these riders. But as for the earmarks, of course I'm going to file them away as insignificant... because they amount to nothing compared to the total expenditures.

Why can't we just get Bill Clinton back again?

Did you see the interview he did with Bill O'Reilly a week or two ago? I'm not a Bill Clinton fan, I'm very much a Reagan Republican (the real type, not the revisionist Sean Hanity type tyvm) but I gotta give the man credit where credit was due. O'Reilly asked him a ton of hard, fair and appropriate questions. Tough stuff. and on every one, at every beat Clinton responded just absolutely perfectly. It was striking at how well he came accoss, and how much he still can inspire and seem presidential. Particularly when contrasted with the entire GOP field and most notably the current occupier of the White House.

Billy Jeff is by far the most accomplished politician I've ever witnessed.

*Insert long drawn out, soon to not matter, ignorant/arrogant opinion about republicans/democrats that does not matter in the least to the majority or the past or the upcoming election*

Pretty much.

Romney obviously probably is way out front right now, mostly because he is the only person anyone living in reality thinks can beat Obama, although he and Obama are essentiallly the same person so I dont know why it matters.

Santorum will run out of steam because he cant carry a non-bible thumping state.

Ron Paul is DOA after Iowa, his negative numbers in the GOP are way too high. He really needed momentum from Iowa and failed to get it. May run as an independant though to ensure an Obama victory.

Perry, apparently Combat Mage was his only supporter, went back to Texas to "reassess him campaign" and quit before he wastes any more money.

Michele Bachman isnt as smart as Perry, she will continue to waste money (for now). Shes toast though.

Gingrich, I think the next set of primary states are critical for him, he has to show well in South Carolina.

Huntsman, should have at least showed his face in Iowa.



Honestly Ron Paul isnt electable and if he got the primary a national campaign would expose this. His idea are to extreme for most of america he might do well in a GOP primary where the extreme side of that party would vote where the average joe doesnt even bother.


Bachman already dropped out.

Perry lol

Gingrinch peaked at the wrong time but in a big campaign I could just see all his dirty laundry getting press non stop.

Santorim see perry

Huntsman sorry dont know anything about him.
