It's Conservatism (Or why we can't support Ron Paul)
The Band Of Patriots ^ | August 2nd, 2011 | Matthew Monos

Posted on 08/05/2011 9:43:48 PM PDT by orthodoxyordeath

During the past few years, the American people have witnessed the strikingly meteoric rise of two politicians on both sides of the political aisles. These two burst onto the political scene during the '08 Presidential Race, and have impassioned individuals in a manner not seen in recent memory. The Liberals got Barack Obama. We all know how that turned out. The Conservatives got stuck with Ron Paul, a deadweight if there ever was one.

Now, as we enter into the full swing mayhem of the next presidential race, it's interesting to note the similarities between "Paul-ites" and the '08 "Obama-ites". The support Paul has on the Internet is probably only second to Obama, and Paul's supporters (you know who I'm talking about!) are some of the most dedicated and rabid ones around. I'm not going to mince words here, Paul fans are as impaired and emotionally unstable as the Obama supporters were (and still are). After jumping onto the passing "Ron Paul Revolution" bus, people have lost their political sanity. The Paul movement is stronger than ever, and people are joining his campaign everyday. I have major problems with him, and I'm going to lay them out here.

Disregard please , I thought you were a “Paulite.”

Every time one comes on here I, and many others get spammed in my mail box.

I didn't get far enough past what you clipped because your link is bad.

I thought it was an article about the great following the kook has.

No, no I can’t stand Paul. He’s a nutbag

To whoever posted those pictures, remember, he said he wanted to be distanced from Reagan.

Based upon what Libertarians have stated as their tenents, IMO their political ideology would, if implemented, result in anarchy.

Meaningless, all of them. I’m sure there are pictures of Reagan with Tip O’Neill too.

R-U-N Paul IS a doctrinare libertarian, your claim not withwstanding. He has stated he wants to legalize all drugs; he's an isolationist; he wants to ban EVERY governmental agency (e.g., FBI, CIA, etc), not just the ones that he believes are unconstitutional; is for eliminating almost all laws that prohibit behaviors he deems best left to the individual to decide upon, etc, etc, etc. His policies would lead to anarchy and chaos on a huge scale. He's a nutjob.

My challenge to you, since you called me a GOOFBALL, is for you to find any posts I have made that embodies your accusaation with respects to Palin. Good luck.

Since you understand that he controls a large bloc of votes, and you believe that his voters won’t vote for any Republican not named Ron Paul, you are hoping that he’s on the ticket as VP, I assume. You can do basic math.

Reagan and other candidates running this year.

Rick Perry has pictures with Al Gore, I’m sure, from when Rick Perry rabn Al Gore’s TX campaign in 1988 But not with Reagan.

Other candidates might pretend they were with Reagan. Ron Paul was with Reagan.

... OK, we'll start with "Your" list. He opposes the FEDS War on drugs. He is for the States to decide what drugs to regulate. You tell me, how many drugs are not legal to prescribe to patients for "medical" reasons. OK, one. Heroin. A million others are legally prescribed including Morphine. Isolationist? Because he's for a strong National soverienty, instead of policing and peacekeeping the whole fookin' world? Ban every governmental agency, because he's for limited gov't? That's BS. Almost all laws he deems. Crap! It starts with what's best left to the individual to decide upon, as long as they don't infringe on others rights. Who's going to make the decisions for others, you? Oh, your the expert. I don't thinks so, BUDDY! We have enough chaos and anarchy already. You're probably right, I'll take your word about posts for Palin. Sorry, you were at the end of posters, so I just lumped everyone together to argue with on your name. I do apologize...

I have never said he controls a large bloc of votes. He just controls the pro-gay, pro-drug, pro-gay, anti-America bloc.
If he does not run third party I do hope he is on the ticket as VP. As the democrat VP. Like I said no true Republican would vote for a surrender monkey.

I believe that's in the Paultard Cult Book of Bylaws:

"Hurl personal insults at anybody you encounter who doesn't worship Ron Paul."

The Paultards don't know any other way. ;-)

Nothing in your comments changes the facts that R-U-N Paul is a nutjob, and totally unqualified to be POTUS.

Yes, you are quite correct. I also forgot to mention R-U-N Paul’s ties to 9/11 truthers in my comments to the RP bot.

It galls me how so many of them make him the face of the Tea Party.

BINGO! I am dealing with this on the local level right now. A group calling themselves TEA are just Paul fanatics and endorsed him a month ago. Then they excoriate us for not following suit. Idiots!

After reading through this thread I am convinced more than ever that Obama will win a second term. Granted, Ron Paul has no chance to win, but neither does the neo-con favorite Mitt Romney. The division among us is going to secure a Mitt Romney candidacy and a third party run by someone like Trump. Ron Paul is what he is, and he is a hell of alot less dangerous than Mitt Romney because Romney can win the nomination, but he can not win the presidency. The neo-con, paleo-con, libertarian divide is our worst enemy. Everyone should remember just how damn serious things are going to get if we are stuck with 4 more years of totalitarian rule by the Obamanation!

...Personal insults department, Ron Paul is a nutjob. "Paultards" are a bunch of dope smoking anarchists. I guess you RP truthers, keepers of the Constitution when it suits you, love the stereotype card also. We don't need no 'stinkin' facts, we're the "RIGHT TYPE OF CONSERVATIVES. You can't stand debating the issues because you hate to think you might have to change. I may be a bot, But YYYYYYER A ZOMBIE...

...Yea, I'm back. Let the party begin!!!

YYYYYER weird. Your post made about as much sense as something Sheila Jackson-Lee would say.

Maybe you should take a break from the bong.

...Once again, just personal character attacks. I could ask the Ad mod to step in, but I won’t. Want to trade insults? Fine. Check your mail...

Go ahead and act like an elementary school girl if that's what you want. You'll just be annoying the Mods...

Want to trade insults?

Nah...that's a Paultard thing. I'm not a Paultard.

You people would probably be happier on more leftie-type sites. Your demigod appeals more to liberals.
