I can appreciate your support for Ron Paul... There are discussions on this board however that do NOT need to be a Ron Paul campaign moment. Whether you realize it or not, your over the top zeal is turning a lot of people against Ron Paul.... I'm not saying to not support your candidate. Please do, but every topic on this board is NOT a Ron Paul moment.

It will be interesting to see the replies you get, but I can assure you some will not consider your suggestion with an open mind. The replies will open more minds to who his supporters are.

I was on the ABO band wagon, but, I am quickly turning that to ABP band wagon... Actually if he were the nominee at this point, I would still vote for him reluctantly. That is quickly changing.

I think your request will be up the individual, of course. Myself I do not bring up Paul into a slew of threads. Even though I did once yesterday and once today, I am not a serial Paul poster. With all the threads on Paul I would think most know where he stands and his positions.

I can sympathize with that being annoying in the same way of the constant partisan talking points, ad nausem. In Paul supporters defense there is a lot of traffic on CD, people reading but never posting. That in itself would be a good reason for Paul zealotry. You know to reach others besides CD posters.

Myself, I am going to try to better to pick my spots and to make sure there would be good reason to mention Paul. But that's me, our movement believes in freedom and I would expect other Paul supporters to make their own choice.

Myself, I am going to listen, look at the record, and what they have written. I would not look at the supporters as being a determining factor. I mean look at the {D} and {R} obnoxious partisans in the forum and that in itself could turn you away from all the candidates.

Waitaminute, you're telling me an elephant taking a hot, messy liquid dump at the Akron Zoo isn't relevant to freedom and liberty and the Amero and the New World Order?


Dr. Paul....I've let you down....
