A lot of them have accounts that date back many years. There are lot of libertarians that tend to piggyback on conservative sites because libertarians can't win elections. These types of libertarians just have more in common with conservatives than Democrats. The age of many of these accounts probably explains why they don't get zotted instantly for pushing paulbot crap.
Another breed of paulbot that spout RP's drivel are just doing what paulbots tend to do better than supporters of any other candidate - spam forums endlessly and hope the sheer amount of garbage will influence people and perhaps take over forums. These people spam just about everything from gaming and weather forums to even sports sites.
And lastly, there are a lot of conservatives that are truly fed up with nothing really changing no matter how involved they have been. These people are just so thrilled to hear Paul talk about real, serious domestic spending cuts that they will forgive his wacky foreign/defense policies and conspiratorial views and followers. Many of them want to believe in RP so badly that they allow themselves to be deluded into thinking naive isolationism and bizarre conspiracies are actually somehow conservative.
The combination must be a nightmare for the mods to keep up with. The place is literally awash in paulbots. Some just criticize other candidates and don't mention who they really support (though it is generally easy to tell), some get the zot pretty quick, and still others kind of hit and run spam sporadically enough to sneak by.
agree with all of that and the last bit especially.
They know they will be banned so they put their posts in a certain way.
Still it does not take away from the fact that we should nto be letting non republicans run on our ticket.
They have their ticket and they should use that instead of trying to take over the GOP much like the socialist have done with the Dems
The accusation against Ron Paul is inaccurate. Go and listen to the video.
He did NOT accuse Israel of starving Arabs in concentration camps. He deplores sanctions against starving people IN GENERAL and doesn’t believe in sanctions as a foreign policy that the US should embark on.
Paul DID express the same things so many of us have said, and that is to let other sovereign nations solve their own problems, that we shouldn’t be the world’s police force.
I’ve not been a Ron Paul supporter, but what I’ve read in this thread stands as a false witness against him, and that’s just not right. Not for Freepers.
