QG,

If RoPa was wearing his religious views more on his sleeve (or collar), would you be a supporter? I mean, SaPa ain´t even in the race and you support her.

Don´t you think you are being just a little hypocritical? I mean it was you that said that being God-fearing matters to you, so why would having only 14% (according to you) influence your opinion?

I know I ask difficult questions, but why not try to give me an answer?
A *logical* one...

Ron Paul was virtually tied with the winner of the Iowa Straw Poll who bought most of her votes (Bachman) and now he's ahead of her. Romney and Perry came in 7th and 6th place. What are you talking about? There have not been any "real elections" yet.

They ignored him and laughed at him last time. Now they can't do that because he's winning or placing high in the straw polls. His fan base is growing. He can raise money like crazy. Seems to me especially with the attack article in The American Conservative Magazine and the derogatory remarks about him (that he "can't win" and he's a "long-shot") is the media's way of trying to fight the inevitable and it is backfiring on them because people see the injustice they've done with the lack of reporting which makes them all that much more determined to support Ron Paul.




First they ignore you
Then laugh at you and hate you
Then they fight you
Then you win
When the truth dies very bad things happen
They're being heartless again

Ron Paul is no Ghandi. It's disrespectful to Ghandi to quote him like that.

... more nonsense...Ron Paul.
As far as I can tell, Paul is either being ignored, laughed at, or being fought while being laughed at.

He hasn't a chance in hell, but keep dreamin.

In all honesty, Ron Paul is NOT running for president. He's a smart guy. He absolutely knows he has no chance. He does it to gain publicity for his agenda. And there's nothing wrong with that. But his followers don't seem to grasp what he's doing.

Is that the original Ghandi quote? There seem to be so many variations on-line all attributed to him.

I wonder if we are going to start to see pro-Ron Paul articles now in more of the Media. It seems the liberals at Huffington Post think Ron Paul best supports their values. There is an article there today about the 10 Best Reasons to Vote for Ron Paul.

this little diddy only works when you have truth on your side.

Ron Paul doesnt. He has some truth on his side. but he also has wacky ideas that dont work in the impolite society we have.

and a gold standard is as workable as using glass beads for money.
