So it's never about policy is what you are saying? If I'm nice and chit chat about communism are you going to listen?

You hate the Fed? Well the fed is the only reason you're not already at third world status.

You think the foreign wars are going on because someone just likes killing people? BS. Those wars are protecting the petro-dollar and if the world suddenly decided the petro-dollar wasn't something they wanted you'd suddenly have about $6 - $10 trillion useless dollars in the economy.

You think inflation is a problem now? Wait till the money supply is 5 times what it currently is.

You think gas sucks at $3.50/gallon? Try riding around in your SUV when it's $15/gallon.

Ron Paul lives ina fantasy world and the only thing less fantastical and less dangerous is Obamanomics.
LMAO The ones who bailed out European banks and businesses to the tune of trillions? The ones who have crashed the dollar? That's who you are counting on?

Then this awesomely uninformed quote "Wait till the money supply is 5 times what it currently is." who do you think causes inflation? duhh it's the Federal Reserve.

And if the money supply was 5 times less than it is now?

Apparently you don't seem to understand that America is a nation in debt. Something like 70 - 80% of the public has a negative net worth. Apparently you think every debt that this nation has should be worth a lot more.

You think that wouldn't send this country into 4th world status?

Just as soon as you're willing to go into a mine to gather gold to keep our economy growing you let us know.

Till then your knowledge of how money works isn't needed.

We just wouldn't judge you if you were pro choice. The Libertarian Party has atheists (myself included)
as well as folks of every faith.
Once again that's your own personal decision and choice.

Bottom line - no party agrees on everything.
But if you are a disgruntled GOP who listened to Paul's message and liked it,
you certainly are more Libertarian than you are Republican IMO.
You can absolutely be pro life and libertarian. Since abortion and gay marriage are not mentioned in the constitution, they are not a federal issues, and libertarians leave such issues for the states to decide. So, be pro life, and vote accordingly in your state elections. No problem there.

>>. They'll get the Grinch, instead. But instead of saying " Who" it will be "Why?" or maybe " Duh...."
But he who laughs last. They may yet have an AWFUL shock coming to them.

Not when you're calling everyone communists either. Want people to listen? Treat 'em with respect and actually understand the issues you're discussing. Most educated liberals and conservatives both want the same thing, but have different means of getting there. I'd rather see ideologically opposed economists and politicians work on a program that brings together the best of both worlds. It would also help if the Republican party wasn't over-run by the Religious Right as well. Republicans would be a lot further along if they didn't have a social platform dating back to the 1200s.

So yes, you'll gets lots of people to listen, and even vote for you, if you stopped treating and talking about half the country as scum and stopped trying to legislate Christianity. Stick to what Republicans are good at--talking about money.

Your party can try to blame all the "takers" or anyone else all you want, but it's the fault of you guys alone that you lost.
