Why the GOP must nominate Ron Paul (Mod advisory: Why they call it dope)
SmallGovTimes.com ^ | October 2nd, 2007 | Joe Dumas, SmallGovTimes.com

Why must the Republican Party nominate a 72-year-old grandfather from the Gulf Coast of Texas, until the past few months little known outside his district, as its 2008 standard-bearer? Very simple: the alternative is eight years of President Hillary Clinton. That ought to be enough to get the attention of every conservative who happens upon these words, so let me explain.

It should come as no big revelation to anyone inside or outside of the Republican Party that the GOP has lost touch with its conservative roots. Massive deficit spending that would make Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter blush; foreign adventurism beyond the wildest dreams of Woodrow Wilson or Teddy Roosevelt; more big government programs than FDR or LBJ (Google “Medicare expansion” for a massive example) ... the Republican Party of the early 21st century is clearly not your father’s or grandfather’s GOP.

There are no more Robert Tafts, no more Barry Goldwaters, not even any more Ronald Reagans (as imperfect as he turned out to be after reaching the White House) ... except one: Ron Paul. Dr. Paul (an OB/GYN who has delivered more than 4,000 babies) is the last, best hope for the GOP to reclaim its once-upon-a-time status as the party of limited government.

If you just wanna smoke a bowl of the finest homegrown
No matter where you’re coming from
You can find my man there on the street
You can find a man that’ll peddle and you meet
Weed makes you feel happy when you’re feeling down
Oh, yeah
Weed even makes you smile when there’s no one around
Oh, yeah
It’s the weed that makes you sing when you’re…
Half-asleep, you can sing…
Bored and nothing to do
We sit
In a
Beat up old Chevy
He’ll tell ya; he’ll tell
He’ll tell ya
Yeah, he’ll tell ya
Yeah, I guess he’ll tell ya
No problem

We must nominate Ron Paul so that Hillary can win in a landslide.

Nominating Ron Paul would make the Troofers very happy, and we all know how well-grounded and important they are.

If the GOP did nominate him, I’d leave the party after 30+ years.

LOL, now that is funny. Thanks for the laugh. Almost as funny as Harry Reid or Nancy Peolsi saying they are the true followers of the Constitution and are the most 'fiscally responsible' people in DC. I find that every one, no matter their political spectrum seems to claim these things. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Rudy said he was the new Reagan.

To quote Hamlet: Words, words, mere words, no matter from the heart

Ron Paul has two chances of winning the GOP nomination and they are ...

1. Slim
2. None

L.Ron is one of the two GOP candidates who, if he won the nomination, I would not vote for in the general election.

There may be a time for a Ron Paul type as president someday. However, that time isn’t now.
