If you vote at all you're a "moron."
We all know the game is rigged, yet people still stroll up to that feeding bottle in the corner of the rat cage every four years to get their dose of "freedom juice", knowing all the while that the $h!t they're drinking is a placebo.
You love Paul? Who wouldn't? He does have some good ideas.
However; at the end of the day, do you think he's going to have any more power than any of the past couple of clowns that have occupied that office? The POTUS is at the mercy of Congress, and Congress is at the mercy of their investors (Banks, Big Oil, and various other mega-corps). The system, as I said before, is the problem. The system you're trying to maintain for the sake of your "standard of living."
I agree. People should revolt. But there are too many limp wristed liberals for that to happen.
I think Paul is the only semi realistic hope for improvment in the near future so I support him.
As a libertarian socialist/anarchist I am with you. I dont really think Paul can win but Imhoping that when he doesnt his supporters become more radical.

I would rather die from 'hippy do-gooders' than Uptight, control freak Monsanto worshipers.
What some people see as 'moving forward' makes me wonder what goal they are looking at.
Destroying the world? Total dehumanization? What?
I think environmentalists are like luddites. Like machine breakers.
Moving forward is being able to keep your house warm or cool without it costing a fortune for a start.

What do you think about Pauls stance on gays for example since you know so much?
His views on amending the constitution to define marriage between a man and a woman?
He opposes it...if they want to get married, let em get married..he personally opposes it, but he (rightfully) believes that its not up to the fed to decide what this religious ceremony can allow. Let the states decide.
I don't dislike many of Pauls stands...some I am very much favoring..some are interesting, and some are disastrous as I said..but its all a moot point considering he won't be in the election.

Oh wow, if he's doing this for that purpose we must crown this man king when Ron Paul fails.

Maybe you guys just take things too seriously and have no sense of humour.
Cheer up you babies.

You are a libertarian socialist/anarchist that hates liberals in the name of Ron Paul so that they will view themselves as being opposed to Ron Paul...and you want people to think that Ron Paul supporters are radical revolutionaries?

Were you even aline during the Hippy movement?
Do you even know what the Hippy movement was about?
it makes me angry that people would protest something that would create jobs when they are badly needed

I think the disastous are not that at all. Like how you dont agree with his foriegn policy. What dont you agree with? He wants to stop policing the world and wasting money on war. Sounds good to me.
Ya, I know him..like his foreign policys, like some of his domestic policys, and some are epic fail disasters.
I am against American Imperialism. I also likethat he will try to stop the IMF from propping up failing capitalist government to the detriment of their people.
And I didnt really mean the gay marraige thing. But I meant that his stance on taxpayers paying for en vougue leftist causes like AIDS patients is used to say he is anti-gay. His stance does not reflect that at all,he is saying that as a libertarian he is against the taxpayer forking out for illness that is contracted through lifestyle choices. He is libertarian not anti-gay.
TextLike business people outsourcing all our jobs, or trying to block stimulus and green technology development?
TextIf he is targetting just AIDS, then guess what...that is very much an anti-gay stance. All or nothing.

I don't think so. I think the evil rich bastards taking advantage of hippie do gooders has destroyed the world. No sense in hating on hippies, they tried, and they generally know more than the average population who the real problem is. I actually know a lot of rainbow children (real hardcore hippies) that are RP supporters to the end.

It isnt. If leftists were into junkee rights then he would be accused of being ant-junkee.
He is libertarian not anti-gay.
