Debating Ron Paul
National Ledger ^ | Aug 29, 2007 | JB Williams

Posted on 08/29/2007 4:59:22 AM PDT by PlainOleAmerican

Ron Paul supporters are fast making a name for themselves on the web. Not because they are just web savvy, but because they have proven themselves to be the best at hacking on-line polls, invalidating conservative polling data on behalf of their candidate. It seems that even Democrat 527 MoveOn.org is now onboard the Ron Paul anti-war train.

Despite the fact that presidential candidate Ron Paul can not score better than 3% in any legitimate national poll, his supporters claim he is “the conservative” candidate to beat in the 2008 Republican race for the White House. Despite his less than conservative voting record in congress and his Teddy Kennedy like position on the war on terror in Iraq, his supporters think he is the most “conservative” candidate in the race. How?

I predict this thread will be inundated in a very short time with the Pauloids.

As YodaSpeak Conversion Widget says: “Like a moth to a light, drawn are they.”

The DNC is working behind the scenes to make him [Ron Paul] the Ross Perot of 2008, because no Democrat candidate can win unless the conservative vote is divided. Hillary Clinton can not get 50% of the vote in a general election and Barack Obama can not get even 40%. Republicans must be divided for Democrats to win.

Nothing but the Truth.

Paulettes who respond to this thread: I’m anxious to hear your rebuttal of this piece. Calling names, frothing at the mouth, etc,. isn’t rebuttal. I’m anxious to hear your facts. [I don’t think you can effectively rebut, but try.]

Oh they will.... try that is.

Nothing hurts like the facts when they don’t support your agenda driven rhetoric.

Good post. Grabbing the Popcorn on this one. One wonders, why are Ron Paul supporters so “web savvy”? Their hacking would explain him getting 96% of straw polls.

This is why I fight the Ron Paul people. Their support of Paul insures a Hillary or Obama (or worse yet both) victory

Well Paul will not get any conservative vote. The only people who say cut and run is conservative are the paulie girls. If he should decide to run third party he will only hurt the democrats by taking much of the surrender vote away from them.

“That’s cute. Y’all run along now.”

Don’t underestimate the power of that sentence. Erm, those two sentences. When the length of a conversation far outweighs your interest in it, that’s a good way to bail out.

Ron Paul P0N3Z online polls, message boards, and so on. He’s just missing one element.

Votes. Actual citizens who sill actually vote for him. Oh, sure, Ron is fun when he barks the other guys on the nose, but President Paul? Whoah-ho, Huckleberry, c’mon back to the stable. That’s where folks get their second thoughts.

Clicking a mouse and ticking a ballot are two very different activities. Ron Paul gets a lot of press, because he’s interesting — so is Lindsey Lohan. They will both get a lot of ink. I think they have about an equal chance of being elected president.

Let's ostracise, and denigrate all Paul supporters. Then we can go after the Libertarians, and any that didn't vote for Bush. Let's clean this place up.

The dims love it when we eat our own.

I doubt he’ll accept that role and run indipendently. Anyway, he has the potential to pull just as many Dem votes from the DNC favorites.

The RuPaulettes are hurting RuPaul’s campaign more than helping it.
