Need I say it?

BARF!

[The Wizard]

anyone who does so hurts Ron Paul

[doug from upland]

“In states that hang in the balance, such as Ohio, Florida or Virginia, they should pinch their noses and vote for President Obama — even if only to punish Romney, Ryan and the GOP.”

This assclown does not care how the country gets punished.

[wideawake]

Too many people are presented with a false choice: are Ron Paul supporters stupid, or are they evil?

Why can't they be both?

[snarkytart]

“In states that hang in the balance, such as Ohio, Florida or Virginia, they should pinch their noses and vote for President Obama — even if only to punish Romney, Ryan and the GOP."

[svcw]

Who care if the three people who support Paul vote for obama.

[Beagle8U]

Ron Paul is a liberaltarian jackass that should have been puked out of the party years ago.

Give the insane bastard a sack of dope and a gold coin and let him wander off to happy land.

[mnehring]

I’ve seen Paultards here say this

[SE Mom]

Punish the GOP? Nonsense.

These folks don’t understand this is not about them and their endless grudges. This is about the survival of the nation. They are infantile and self-centered.

[mmichaels1970]

Paul is a actually “friend,”

friend?

[Vigilanteman]

This assclown does not care how the country gets punished.

Actually, this assclown just reinforces my belief that the most important things in the world to hardcore losertarians is cheap and easily available drugs and the absolute right to stick their c*cks in any orifice they please with the consequences borne by somebody else in either case.

Two things they share in common with BO.

Doug, he has good company. We ended up with Obama because somebody wanted to punish Bush. Then, we ended up with Romney because somebody wanted to punish Conservatism.

Voting to punish people, or particular politicians, or a movement, is STUPID.

[Roccus]

The Harlem paper of record has spoken.

[McGruff]

Democrats trying to get republicans to vote for Ron Paul. My aren’t we getting DESPERATE!

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

“Leave aside that Paul is a man of deep principle,”

Bull ! The guy that ran for congress in the 70s on term limits and is still there in 2012. Principles indeed.

[Dead Corpse]

Er... No. Ron Paul supporters, who were spouting the "principle over Party" line... Would be incredibly hypocritical is they voted for Obama.

If they can't bring themselves to vote for Romney, then they should "throw their vote away" on Johnson.

This "authors" entire screed is an attempt at fishing for hanging chads...

[OneWingedShark]

Er... No. Ron Paul supporters, who were spouting the "principle over Party" line... Would be incredibly hypocritical is they voted for Obama.

Agreed.

If they can't bring themselves to vote for Romney, then they should "throw their vote away" on Johnson.

You know, I'm one of those people who cannot vote for Romney, and I'd much rather vote for Johnson (he did a very good job as Governor in New Mexico; actually good enough to get reelected in a then very solidly Democratic State). As it is though, I'm likely to vote for Tom Hoefling [FR's EternalVigilance] or Virgil Goode [I don't think my State will have Libertarian party, but likely will have Constitution].

Anyway, back to point:
Romney is a great candidate for the Republican party, precisely because he talks one way and acts [governs] another... this is just like the Republican party which for any of its major planks does nothing to pursue them [as a party]. (Look at how they treat abortion, or repeal of NFA/GCA, or government accountability [F&F]: absolutely nothing, except [perhaps] kabuki theater.)

“Tracey is a journalist”

Really?

In a pigs eye.

[Dead Corpse]

If Virgil had gotten ballot access in as many States as Johnson, I'd probably be leaning that way.

As for EV... "If you can't say anything nice about someone..." No thanks.

Ron Paul supporters would do well to listen to the words of the left. Because it is They that are in the cross-hairs of the leftist war on Individual rights.

“For too long in this society we have celebrated unrestrained individualism over the common community.” ~Joe Biden

“We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society.” ~Hillary Clinton

Paulbots I assume wish to keep property rights, and a stake in how the fruits of their labors are distributed. One final quote that I hope Paul supporters mull over.

“The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.” ~Ayn Rand
