Yeah, because saying he isn't a crackpot and it must be everyone else that is while you roll your eyes doesn't imply anything at all now, does it? The only people that look foolish are the ones that cry about peoples actions, then carry on doing the exact things that they cry about...boo hoo for you, sir.

If the American people had been truly talked into thinking all of the BS we have been put through such as the NDAA, the war in Iraq, the Patriot Act, the bank bailouts, Ron Paul would not even be on the Top 5! Nobody would care about him.

The fact that he is getting more and more support each day should tell you we are sick of the bullsh*t and the lies.

We are sick of being lied to by people who are NOT working for US.

We are sick of empty promises, we are sick of candidates who change their mind every 5 minutes, we are sick.of.it.



If you are that 'sick', you might want to see a doctor...lol. The support he is getting is very questionable and doubtful that it would carry over into the general election. I can see just on the small sampling on this site that many pretend Ron Paul supporters were Obama supporters last go round and will be again as soon as the general election starts. This Ron Paul rise is partially a farce being orchestrated by the left.

Take it any way you want, makes no difference to me
If you think someone calling Pauls ideas crackpot ideas are mean ad name calling then you sure as heck would not be able to stand the elections process if Paul got the nomination and if pigs learn to fly and Paul were to get elected to the Whitehouse, the names used to refer to him would get far worse from those that oppose his ideas, and it would come from both sides of the political spectrum. Have you missed the crap the right has thrown out at President Obama, or do you have selective vision? You better grow a thicker skin if you want your guy to continue the race, it has just begun to get nasty, you will wish for the word "crackpot" once the Real race kicks in.

I can handle a ton more than you could ever dish out...I'm simply pointing out that for someone that cries about name calling and such, you sure do a heck of a lot of it yourself. Treat people the same way you ask them to treat you, or stop your crying about it.

And every single person that ever had an idea that didn't work out the first time should have quit too...we would be sitting in caves banging rocks against a wall right now. Sounds like a great plan.

[quote=slackjaw;22377087]Then aren't we doing as we please by telling financial institutions that trade with Iranian central bank that they will be blocked from access to our economy?

You know, the sanctions that Ron Paul voted "yea" on here: U.S. Senate: Legislation & Records Home > Votes > Roll Call Vote[/quote

Pretty neat trick when a member of the house can vote in the senate

I would question support for someone like Romney who is going around telling the unimformed folks he created more jobs than Obama in this state... Yeah being 47th in job creation in the country sure is something to brag about.

I question the common sense of people who would vote for the status quo after bitching about the bail outs, the neverending wars, the everyday increasing poverty in this country, the lack of respect for our Constitution...because they just don't learn their lesson.

The same people who complain about Obama day in and day out have no problem giving away their vote for the other Republican candidates even though they are no different than the fool in the White House right now..because in their mind as long as a Republican is the one making the mistakes it is all good...
