Waaaaaaaaaay too late for that. That horse left the barn a long time ago.

What's with the term Paulista?

If there were any other candidate that promoted Ending the Fed, Ending the War on Drugs and Ending Wars Abroad and had an overall message of restoring personal liberties I would have to look into them too. The fact is that Ron Paul stands alone on most of the real issues.

Support the policies, not the politician.

FYI, I am making this a public poll so the Paulistas are honest.
The "Paulistas" as you call them, on City Data, ARE the ones who got me to really start looking in to Paul. Once I started doing that, there was no turning back.

So THANK YOU C-D "Paulistas"!

To gut the EPA, the FDA, wishing he could end wars (he cannot), ignoring the major drug sales such as Heroin, Coke, Crack and PCP and the damage they do, ending the right of a woman to have an abortion, those policies? Yes he does stand alone on those and other than a handful of loyal voters he will remain there.

JFK was beginning a pull out of Nam when he was killed. As soon as Johnson took over he reversed course. Draw your own conclusions, I have.

Nothing to do with pulling out of Nam. It was Marilyn's ex, Joe Dimaggio, from the grassy knoll who was ticked about that Happy Birthday song.

Keeping coke, crack, PCP and heroine in a dangerous black market system IS ignoring the problems they create. Let me guess, you think a Non-Violent Crack Head becomes a productive member of society after spending 10 years in a violent Jail.

Legal Drugs are causing A LOT more damage today than any ILLEGAL drug has caused in the past. I suppose because Corporations reap the benefits of addiction, you think the problem should be marginalized. I suppose because Corporations now profit from increased prison demand, you think we should keep building more prisons. Well there are still some of us that see through Government propaganda.

The President can most definitely end Unconstitutional Wars. That is one of the few outright powers a President does have.

As far as the criminal Federal Reserve, simply look into their predictions, policies, actions and conspirings to realize that they are a cancer that must be stopped. Congress appoved of $750 Billion in Bailouts; the Federal Reserve had secretly issued $16 Trillion.

This is the longest period in American history that the people have let a private Central Bank control the country.

First Bank of The United States 1791-1811
Second Bank of The United States 1816-1836

Don't know if it is to soon to draw any conclusions...

1) about 50% of those that voted were already paulistas

2) CD FORUM paulistas caused a net gain of one new Paul supporter.

3) that net gain of one is questionable in that one new Paul supporter said they were converted in 2008 but they joined the BS FORUM in Nov 2011.

4) the majority of poster who responded are paulistas. Far larger than any other group.

By virtue of being ecstatic alone, I wouldn't even consider Paul. I don't believe in magic. Good things are rarely a sure bet, and Paul supporters treat him like the he's the Messiah. Remember, none of the founding fathers were ecstatic about the Constitution when they ratified it.
