In the latest Gallup Poll, Ron Paul has moved from 1% to 3% of Republicans and Republican leaners who were polled. Since the margin of error for the poll is plus/minus 5%, any movement could be nothing more than statistical noise. Paul is currently a non-entity for the nomination.

Geez, SJ... don't you know anything about economics...? ;)
I know that and you know that, but try telling Paul supporters that, LOL!
Do your own research.
Almost a thousand articles and speechs by Ron Paul.

Well, I don't know.
I haven't figured out what I'm going to do when large denominations of US currency start raining from the sky or what I'll do when that flock of pigs flies over my house and whether the freezing over of Hell will have any impact on this global warming stuff.
Once I figure all of those out, I'll work on that one. :-)
Whats telling are the comments in the Ron Paul forums. They undermine the ‘push’ the Paulies have launched in this and other conservative forums.
“I know that and you know that, but try telling Paul supporters that, LOL!”
I’ll wait until the actual primaries, then remind them.
Simple challenge to you Paulites. With NO slogans. NO demagoguery. NO sliming everyone else who doesn’t share your faith. Tell me WHAT and HOW Paul would do anything. Here is his “Issues page”. NOT a word about what or how he would do anything. Just a bunch of slogans strung together basically screaming bile at everyone and everything.

So, you Paulites want civility? Then explain to us WHAT and HOW a Paul Administration would do. Do that with OUT sliming any one. No name calling, no hysteric hyper emotive rhetoric. None of the usual Paulite personal attacks in place of reason argument. No cut and pasting of sound bite statements from Paul speeches. NO statements of what YOU think Paul means. REAL plans with documented links so we can read them for ourselves

The great message of Ron Paul sells itself!
In 2006 corporate income tax, which Paul will eliminate but we're just playing games here, was 10.1%. Defence spending was 18%. Why you're discussing corporate income tax is beyond me, but the numbers don't work. Why don't you start again with post 167, 2006-the most recent available, or if you want to choose another year, post your figures.
The question I had about the Fair Tax is whether Ron Paul supports it as a remplacment for the income tax, citations please, and, if the income tax is unconstitutional due to not being cited in the Constitution, only an amendment, how the Fair Tax would pass the Paul smell test.
Personally I question whether Paul is a Fair Tax Supporter.
I referred to Paul as Paul is a curmudgeon good for sound bites and nothing more. The classic empty suit. That's a perfectly reasonable assessment of his non-positions. I added that he's irresponsible, and I stand by all of it.
As you demonstrate, there's nothing to back his "positions" up.
What are you going to do when the moon melts, it's made of green cheese you know.
As I'm mentioned to you before, we'll get to see the political acumen of FR's Paul supporters put to the test.
Keep in mind that this post shouldn't be construed as me shilling for Paul, but you guys need to look at some reality here. Now I've attended Paul rallies and seen pics and videos of them, and these folks could easily have been your next door neighbors. Women with kids and babies in the audience. Funny, but I didn't see any 9/11 "Truthers", anti-war kooks, or anarchist anti-gov't types.
Of course not. You’d never shill for Paul. And he gets no support at all from truthers, anti-war folk, or haters. That’s just an internet thing, and we all know the internet isn’t reliable. Is that why Paul’s supporters tout his internet performance?
All your name-calling and cheesy photo-shops are apparently having no impact on the thousands of grassroots supporters who are enthusiastically supporting Paul. Paul has the GOP in a delicate situation.
Oh, please, the whining accomplishes nothing. I’ll stand by everything I’ve said about Ron Paul. For your own credibility, please provide links to 5 of my photoshops.
I see, so he has double secret probation plans that he doesn't publish since he is, after all, the source of wisdom, put upon by all the big government Republicans and Freepers. Right.
Well I believe he's said that it would take time to get rid of SS and I honestly believe he understands that it would take time to get rid of the IRS. However trying to pass off 'privatization' of 1-2% of SS as some sort of huge change isn't very responsible, or truthful....But I don't see why you say it would be irresponsible to get rid of SS tomorrow either. It was irresponsible to rely on government in the first place. I'm not related to those getting it so why should I have to pay for it?
He's said he will get rid of the income tax. If he thinks it's going to take "time", or he has a plan for alternative revenue, this would be a good time to let the world in on it. And yes, I think it's irresponsible to simply scrap social security tomorrow, as would be scrapping the income tax.
I don't know, I'll probably starve, I guess.
As I'm mentioned to you before, we'll get to see the political acumen of FR's Paul supporters put to the test.
I don't care about the Paul supporters here. I'm talking about the thousands that exist outside of this website. The folks that got you guys in serious denial.
Of course not. You’d never shill for Paul. And he gets no support at all from truthers, anti-war folk, or haters. That’s just an internet thing, and we all know the internet isn’t reliable. Is that why Paul’s supporters tout his internet performance?
It's been explained to you a million times that there is a relatively small minority of fringe individuals that are trying to exploit Paul's campaign. Now if you want to believe that Paul's support entirely consists of truthers, nutjobs, neo-Nazis, and skinheads, that's your perogative but the folks at the rallies and in the audience says otherwise.
Oh, please, the whining accomplishes nothing. I’ll stand by everything I’ve said about Ron Paul. For your own credibility, please provide links to 5 of my photoshops.
No whining, I'm just pointing out that actions have consequences, like Paul's supporters not supporting the GOP nominee, that's all.
Smart move on Rudy's part. He's clearly a member of the global ruling elite.
Then he needs to turn the thousands into millions and clearly disassociate himself and his campaign from the less savory parts of the internet realm who support him. I wouldn't support him for that, but it would restore some level of respect. I believe I've cited to you the indicted drug dealer in Canada organizing meetings. Is a drug dealer and a dozen of his pals important, no. But when a political campaign is asked about the support of someone under indictment, the Paul campaign response that we'll take support from anywhere is unacceptable in my mind. In fact a disqualifier, because in the highly unlikely event a politician like that were successful, those early supporters would be the only he'd have a moral obligation to.

Would you care to point out how that is inaccurate? Do you have the numbers from another source to verify your gut feeling?
The fact that our current president is making mistakes in the war on terror is in no way an argument in favor of another candidate who we know prospectively will make large mistakes in the same war. If that's not addressing your point, then I'm not sure why you responded to the thread at all.
