The Tragic Loss of Ron Paul

I'm devastated to report Ron Paul's massive grass-roots support got lost on
the way to the polling booths. Apparently, his wife was supposed to print
out the directions before he left, but the stupid woman decided to watch Oprah
instead. Then, when he went to use his GPS, he discovered he didn't have a
GPS.

After trying unsuccessfully to vote at a McDonalds, a Kum-n-Go gas station,
and the local drug dealer's house, he realized that today is, in fact, the
6th, and therefore he missed the polls entirely.

It's a shame, cause Ron Paul could have WON, man!! He could have won.

Of course the internet matters. It just happens that Ron Paul did not have the support of the entire internet.

I mean, look on this forum. Who supports Ron Paul? Where his "grassroots" internet support? Just a few random trolls and idiots. The internet works more successfully than you think. It's the proving ground. The microcosm. Paulbots on the internet have been all but wiped out, and so too have they in the nation overall. So it happened, so it shall be!

It doesn't really matter that he doesn't have enough support to get into the presidency. His policies are dangerous enough to warrant "bashing down" wherever they come up.

Tuesday afternoon, I was driving through town and I saw two women standing on the street corner near the local elementary school holding Hillary Clinton signs. I thought it a bit odd at the time(I sliped my mind that it was Super Tueday until about five minutes later). I also thought that there could be no dumber activity than standing in the rain on a street corner to promote a candidate they probably never have nor never will meet.

Then some guy in the truck in front of me shouts out 'RON PAUL!' at the top of his lungs in their direction. I stood corrected. :p

Don't mistake the loudness of the criticism as a response to the threat of the criticised. Rather, the loudness of the criticism is a response to the extremity of the criticised. Groups which advocate the most radical of messages - whether that is libertarian, communist, anarchist, racist or any other fringe platform will also receive the loudest criticism.

And I'm not a leftist.

I'm trying to figure out this "lactating" thing. In between being happy to discriminate against women, gay people, poor people, and non-whites, has Ron Paul also come out against new mothers or something?

I suspect he went through a dictionary in a attempt to complete his alliteration:

"Labial leftist losers? No, too blatantly sexist.
Labouring leftist losers? No, sounds kinda positive.
Lachrymal leftist losers? No, can't spell or pronounce it.
Lactating leftist losers? Yeah, that combines misogyny, plausible deniability and a phonetic spelling. This'll show them!

I live in Downtown Libertarian USA. The local county newspaper has a "Libertarianism" page in its website's OP-ed section. Letters to the editor frequently feature Libertarian Party officials and Cato Institute "fellows." Ron Paul was all over my university's newspaper. There were "Ron Paul '08" signs, posters, stickers and grafitti everywhere.

Ron got 4.5% of the county vote.

See, this has nothing to do with "lactating leftist losers." It has everything to do with the fact that Ron Paul is an unelectable hack of a loser. People prefer having their votes count for something; throwing votes away on a lost cause is thus a bad thing.

(It also has to do with the fact that Libertarians are just Big Business Republicans-Lite, thus explaining Mitt Romney's second place finish here in the Libertarian county, but...)

I think it's more that his supporters are more vocal and appear bigger than they really are. It's like the Jewish lobby. Only like 2% of the country is Jewish, but the lobby makes it seem like it makes up 50%. It's all about voice. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Here is an example of the latter. I think 10 Feb will be fine because they don't need an enormous turnout. A dozen or two at each site is basically enough.

Not being a fan of Ron Paul because of his warped economic policies, I must agree with you here as soon as someone who pisses off the left gets some support they start calling them idiots and radicals just because they disagree with him. You also tend to find that they attack the man and his supporters rather than arguing against his policies not always but usually, that my misguided left wing friends is a fallacy why don't you argue against his policies properly than people may start coming over to your side

You mean like NAFTA? NAFTA was a mistake, because it has sent our manufacturing jobs out of the United States.

Abolishment of tariffs is also bad, because without tariffs companies can manufacture goods and import them cheaper than they can make them here, so companies move their manufacturing operations out of the USA.

But diplomacy and force are not the only tools available to the international community to help accomplish these lofty but achievable goals. Economic aid. "[C]ombating the terrorists' prophets of fear will require more than lectures on democracy," writes Obama. "America must make every effort to export opportunity – access to education and health care, trade and investment."

"America," he continues, "must commit to strengthening the pillars of a just society. We can help build accountable institutions that deliver services and opportunity... . In countries wracked by poverty and conflict, citizens long to enjoy freedom from want. And since extremely poor societies and weak states provide optimal breeding grounds for disease, terrorism, and conflict, the United States has a direct national security interest in dramatically reducing global poverty and joining with our allies in sharing more of our riches to help those most in need."


Obama claims that it is the governments responsibility to strengthen the pillars of a just society. He plans to carry out this action by claiming the right to my income and redistributing it to poor and weak societies. Obama is claiming that their welfare is my responsibility and that they own me.

They probably were angry. It takes a paulbot a lot of effort to co-ordinate standing and yelling at the same time.
The stress and energy required is horrendous and causes them immense cerebral pain and irritability.
Also, getting out from their parents basement into the open air for the first time in 6 years doesn't agree with them. Seeing the world unpixellated makes them real tetchy.

Not being a fan of Ron Paul because of his warped economic policies, I must agree with you here as soon as someone who pisses off the left gets some support they start calling them idiots and radicals just because they disagree with him. You also tend to find that they attack the man and his supporters rather than arguing against his policies not always but usually, that my misguided left wing friends is a fallacy why don't you argue against his policies properly than people may start coming over to your side

As a moderate republican conservative, I bashed his policies and him for having said policies. ITs the paulbots on this forum that have yet to put together a cohesive argument about his record when it gets linked to around here. Nor about his stances either.

But diplomacy and force are not the only tools available to the international community to help accomplish these lofty but achievable goals. Economic aid. "[C]ombating the terrorists' prophets of fear will require more than lectures on democracy," writes Obama. "America must make every effort to export opportunity – access to education and health care, trade and investment."

"America," he continues, "must commit to strengthening the pillars of a just society. We can help build accountable institutions that deliver services and opportunity... . In countries wracked by poverty and conflict, citizens long to enjoy freedom from want. And since extremely poor societies and weak states provide optimal breeding grounds for disease, terrorism, and conflict, the United States has a direct national security interest in dramatically reducing global poverty and joining with our allies in sharing more of our riches to help those most in need."


Obama claims that it is the governments responsibility to strengthen the pillars of a just society. He plans to carry out this action by claiming the right to my income and redistributing it to poor and weak societies. Obama is claiming that their welfare is my responsibility and that they own me.

"hearing what you want to hear" is my first thought after reading that giant pile of assumptions. What Obama is claiming is that maybe should should concentrate in the future more about helping weak states and less about destroying and then trying to rebuild moderatley powerful ones. He is in no way shape or form claiming that they somehow own you. He is claming that, in order to protect you, it is the governmnets job to prevent states through becoming failed and breeding grounds for terrorists. Its a pre-emptive :pkind of thing

Ron Paul wants to strip us of individual rights? I don't know what you're talking about. Ron Paul is for FREEDOM from the nanny-state, and from the tyrannical IRS.
What policies of his are so "dangerous"? Please explain.

Ron Paul is for government authoritarianism. The only difference is that he moves it to the state governments. His "We the People Act" is an attempt to keep individuals from having redress against state governments when those governments infringe upon religious freedom, the right to privacy, or equal protection. He has stated that he thinks your state government has the authority to arrest you for having consensual sex with another adult in your own home if they so choose. Your state government has the "right" to make medical decisions for you, including what contraceptives you may and may not get. Your state government has the "right" to impose religion upon you. And so on...

He supports inequality in the law where it pertains to homosexuals, both by attempting to give states the authority to ignore the 14th Amendment and by supporting the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy.

And, even while saying that the federal government didn't have the authority to do so, he voted for a federal ban on a late-term abortion procedure. He voted for a bill that does absolutely nothing but endanger women.

For all his talk of "freedom", his policies are actually designed to give bigots of all stripes more control over those they would oppress.

You mean like NAFTA? NAFTA was a mistake, because it has sent our manufacturing jobs out of the United States.

That is a product of free trade policies.

Abolishment of tariffs is also bad, because without tariffs companies can manufacture goods and import them cheaper than they can make them here, so companies move their manufacturing operations out of the USA.

So, again, you're against free trade.

Anytime you got supposedly free market supporters expressing concern about "our" jobs becoming "outsourced" and whatnot, that's the time for a shot of wake the fuck up juice. Good job.

This whole Ron Paul thing bugs me because everyone, particularly his misguided followers, believe he's some sort of libertarian free market advocate.

Huckabee is still in the race. And so is Romney, technically. Romney only suspended his campaign. He's playing power broker with the delegates he has, and will leverage his way to a VP spot at the RNC. In terms of delegates, Paul is a distant fourth.

Um....no, he isn't. 2nd place (if you take out Romney) is Huckabee. Ron Paul isn't even in the running with his measly 16 delegates to McCain's 714. He doesn't even have 10% of the delegates that Huckabee has, at 181.

I mean honostly he'd have Bill Gates paying the same taxes as an 18 year old high school drop out working at McDonalds.

John McCain is obviously gonna get the nomination, and I hop to God Huckabee isn't his VP. I mean McCain is repsectable and he's gonna win the presidency becuase people will have there reservations about Obama and Clinton for numerous reasons.

Alright, time to add my two Euro cents to this thread.

I used to support Ron Paul, and I like many of his libertarian ideas and feel they would be a good set of policies to get in to the White House. However, over the course of the ensuing months, I've learned that he is a racist and blatant homophobe (hell, he makes Huckabee look like a Log Cabin Republican) with a bunch of weird, borderline conspiracy theory ideas masked within many of his other policy positions. He's somebody I might support as Senator, but there's no way in hell I'd give him the kind of power embedded in the POTUS.

As much as I like some of his positions, the bad stuff is way too strong and too concerning to support him.
