You realize of course that Ron Paul has been one of the 545 for over two decades, right?
Do you really think his moving to a new office will afford him some power he doesn't already possess? One man does not a revolution make, and any man who has sat by for twenty plus years while those beloved Constitutional rights were usurped is part of the Problem.
There is no fixing this cluster [snip] we call Washington, folks.
Corporations stole it many years ago, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner we can get on with the pitchforks and torches.
Paul is another empty promise...
Ron Paul's policies will put major pain upon many people in this country...that is a fact. There is no freedom in poverty...and his policies will never prevent it
If you truly believe that poverty prevents freedom then it is you who lives in a trap and no amount of wealth - earned or stolen from those you envy - will free you.

He won't get the elderly vote, he certainly won't get the minority vote....but he will be most popular with young white men....especially if ATS is any indication based on it's stats and numerous daily Ron Paul threads with tons of flags and stars....usually repeating the same exact thing we've all seen 1000 times before.

If you are foolish enough to think it doesn't then it is you who lives in a trap. Go ahead and continue to dazzle yourself with Ron Paul ....you'll be sitting here in 2012 complaining about it just as everyone was in 2008. Should be a good boost for ATS traffic anyway.
And of course no President can stop ALL poverty, the point is his policies will do nothing to help those already in a mess.
Regardless of how you feel about me, he still has to explain why he wouldn't have voted for the Civil Rights act, the newsletters, etc. I'm not the one who needs convincing....it's the mainstream that needs convincing. Maybe you'd be best served going door to door explaining his policies instead of conversing with me....because quite frankly you are wasting your time.
