Pa-lease...I'm over 45 and dig this guy. My Dad is pushing 70 and is getting on board. I've made Paul lovers out of at least a dozen people at work.
Please stop wasting our time with your negativity.

Great. More power to you.
Hey, so far it's still a free country. Stop infringing on my rights to be negative, will ya?

Yea, but why does every Paul thread, especially this one where the OP was obviously excited about the show he attended, need to be hijacked with the same anti-Paul parroting?
And btw, ATS is not a free country. We are both off-topic...get it?

Yes, really I do consider him wasting the time of a lot of people.
He does not have a snowballs chance in hell of being elected. People who vote for him, will only be allowing the worst of two evils to win.
He's nothing more than a diversionary tactic.

Really.... Wasting our time? I think that's up to ME and the other supporters to decide. This mentality that just because elections may be corrupted, you'd tell everyone to lay down their arms & give up --- that is a pitiful & defeatist proposal.
Though for the rational, intelligible Americans putting full support behind the only candidate worth a damn; we know we've got nothing to lose, regardless of your cynical assertion.
By the way there is no "worst" of two evils. Evil is evil, through and through. Whether Obama or Gingrich, they're simply tools to be manipulated by a higher evil --- the special interest.
Edit (On-Topic): Just finished watching the segment and I'm thoroughly impressed. Solid answers from Paul, all garnering an applause. And the ending with Joe Rogan endorsing him like that was just perfect.edit on 17-12-2011 by Raelsatu because: (no reason given)

Where did you get all of this from, as I never said anything of the like. You and the other supporters are allowed the freedom to vote as you choose. Make sure you use your vote wisely. If you are 100% sure the guy will win, then go for it. Otherwise are you ready to back up the guy who will win anyway?

Well, this is your opinion, which you are also entitled to. Full support, eh? What are your backup plans if he isn't elected?

No worst of two evils, huh? Which was worse, Hitler or Stalin?

Oh My God! Joe Rogan endorsed Ron Paul! I guess that means I should vote for the guy? LOL!

I thought you watched the show? Your opinion on the show please.
The U.S. Constitution empowers the president to wage wars as commander in chief while Congress has the power to declare wars and fund them. But chief executives from both major parties often differ with Congress over their ability to deploy military power. A number of experts believe presidents have demonstrated greater power to wage wars since the end of World War II. "The president has been commander in chief since 1789, but this notion that they can go to war whenever they want, and [ignore] Congress, that's a post-World War II attitude," says Louis Fisher, scholar in residence at the Constitution Project (and former specialist in constitutional law at the Library of Congress).

Backup plan if he isn't elected? There is no backup. It's Ron Paul the entire way or nobody. If the rest of 'thoughtful' Americans want to reign in 4 more years of the status-quo & endless wars, have at it. But saying you'll vote for the candidate who has "100 percent" chance to win is the type of mentality that bogs down the democratic process
Hitler and Stalin were both embodiments of evil with a similar psychopathic ambition. Why would I choose between one of the two mass-murderers when I could choose the peace loving freedom-fighter?
