However with you I've come to realize that no matter what I, or any other Ron Paul supporter, says you will just respond with emoticons, insults, over the top exaggeration, and condescension. I've come to realize you're just really not worth my time or effort as you don't want to have a discussion, you simply wish to troll the forums.

:t hink:
I don't waste much time with you. for sure!

Most Americans play follow the leader. They vote for the party, not the people.

Ron Paul's supporter is the only group that vote for the people, not the party.

This is the reason why the Republicans have no choice but vote for Ron Paul.

If Paul won = RP followers + Republican follow the leader crowd

If other won = Republican follow the leader crowd

People don't understand this simple fact. Most of Ron Paul supporters WILL NOT vote for Romney, or any other Republican. Anyone that even suggests many Ron Paul supporters will vote for any Republican need to study up on Ron Paul more. I think there's a big lack of understanding about who he is among people in general. Hannity's goal is to make him look as bad as possible, so of course people who don't research him and listen to what Hannity says will find him nutty

The reason is simple. Ron Paul's followers are loyal, they will only vote for Ron Paul and no one else.

If Ron Paul is not nominated, his followers will simply not vote. That mean 15% of the voter or whatever percentage the media reported Ron Paul gets will be gone.

Even worst, if Ron Paul runs as a 3rd party, then the Republicans will loss even more votes.
and I consider comments like "you must" vote for someone or else as blackmail. I think many of us realize how loyal his supporters are, but they are the ones who have told us, vote for the candidate you support, and now, you, as one of them are telling us to vote for only him..I am not someone who will be blackmailed into voting for a candidate that I do not agree with. If he gets the nomination, yes, I will support him as I feel we all need to vote or keep our mouths shut. To me, when adults say "if my candidate doesn't get the nomination I won't vote" is like a kid saying, if I can't win I am taking my toys and going home.

If Ron Paul's followers will ONLY vote for him, I find that extremely narrow minded. Apparently they would rather "vote" for Obama than vote for someone to end his rein of disaster. Not very intelligent.

Jesus. You sound like big media. "If Ron Paul won, we are heading back to stone age."

If you understand our position, then you know that's not how it is interpreted. You will interpret that Ron Paul supporters have principles, and will only vote for those who share the same principles and belief as they (the voter) have.

Maybe you don't understand our position. We don't want to get rid of Obama just to have someone with a different name tag to carry on the same failed policies. Dr Paul is the only who understand the issue and have support of the people.

You can argue that Romney & Perry has a lot more funding. But I would love to know how much of them are from small donators like you and me. Those who chip in $20 to $100

Without Ron, expect more corporate fascism, with a big military industrial complex and more police actions and loss of American life.



Ron is the only one if elected, won't spark off a full on Revolution, because the left knows he is not the Neo-con and the right knows he is not a Progressive.

If Obama is re-elected, the crap will hit the fan.

If Romney is elected, the crap will hit the fan.

If Perry is elected, the crap will hit the fan.

If Cain is elected the crap will hit the fan.


Paul is the only one that has the truth and the US Constitution, backing him.


Notice when Paul says stuff and the media jumps on it, thinking it is looney and runs with it, only to go silent when he pwnd them, with the truth in his explanation. They will not air that, but in the debates, he was able to explain it in short to the American people.

I love this copy & paste response!

Obama had no chance of beating Hilary either at this time in 2007.



Obama has no chance
