Good night everyone, and remember, in the immortal words of Captain Ron Paul Jones, Libertarian Navy, "Give up the ship! Give up the ship!"

Dude, what's you're beef with Ron Paul? I logged on tonight to read the threads on this story and found them all littered with your verbal diarrhea about how much you despise the guy.

And it's not just political disagreement over the war - something you could have stated in calm and measured terms in a couple of posts. It's dozens upon dozens upon dozens of insult-laden rants at everyone who said anything remotely positive about the guy.

I clicked on the first thread and saw hundreds of freepers commenting on this story...interspersed with you and you alone responding to practically every single one of them with insults about Paul and also about them if they dared defend him.

So I looked for another thread and came to this one...only to find more of the same.

Whatever your beef with the guy is, it's not rational and it's time you take a reality check. The simple fact is that Ron Paul is only a congressman. He has no money. He has no national campaign organization. He has little name ID outside of Texas. He has no national media following him around like the major candidates. He's nowhere on the polls. He openly admits himself that his presidential bid is a longshot. And the primaries are over a year away.

Yet here you are running around in panic mode as if he's on verge of stealing the nomination away from one of the frontrunners, and seem to have made it your personal mission in life to attack and berate every single freeper who ever had so much as a passing thought about considering him. Surely you can think of a more constructive use of your time than trying to "sink" - and only in your mind at that - a candidacy that hasn't even gone anywhere and probably won't.

If you hate Ron Paul that much then don't vote for him. Chances are that most voters won't even know who he is, much less vote for him. And those who will vote for him will probably do so out of admiration for his iconoclastic political principles, meaning you aren't going to change their minds by hurling hundreds of insults their way.
