Zoraptor Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'm hoping Rand Paul will run for president sometime in the future. That guy shows a lot of promise. Was this deliberate? Rand Paul = Ron Paul's son, so I expect he was named deliberately. He's currently a senator new entrant from 2010, iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblarg Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Why do you find Paul crazy? Is it because he wants to bring home the troops and end the undeclared wars? Or because he wants to shut down the privately owned Federal Reserve which prints money out of thin air and **** up the economy? Wals, if you loosen your tie and unbutton that top-button on your shirt, you'll get some oxygen to the brain, and you'll be able to turn your head left and right. J. No, it's because if elected I'm rather afraid he'd do something psychotic like reverting to the gold standard. Sure, he's commendable for being the sole Republican candidate who seems to legitimately believe what he says and who doesn't shamelessly pander to a certain demographic, but he's still hopelessly disconnected from reality - only in different ways from the other candidates.

Calax Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Paul is grate in most fields (willing to listen, legit small government, willing to compromise) but there are a few points that make people just flip out (like wanting to go back onto the gold standard for example) Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

Junai Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 This clip of Jon Stewart talking about the media's treatment of Ron Paul made me chuckle. Wow. i mean I think the guy is looney tunes. But blanking him out? That's properly cuckoo. Why do you find Paul crazy? Is it because he wants to bring home the troops and end the undeclared wars? Or because he wants to shut down the privately owned Federal Reserve which prints money out of thin air and **** up the economy? Wals, if you loosen your tie and unbutton that top-button on your shirt, you'll get some oxygen to the brain, and you'll be able to turn your head left and right. J. That's good coming from a guy who thinks CIA elves blew up the twin towers. He's a lunatic because you can't take the wrold's largest economy and pretend that it doesn't have to defend interests outside its own borders. It's an infantile position, however populist. Dolt, I never claimed the CIA blew up the twin towers. Just because a person finds the official 9/11 theory absurd, doesn't mean he's a fan of Alex Jones. Bombing the bejeezus out of every country that teases Mossad with a nuclear fuel rod isn't good foreign policy. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshugger Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) The only one of those republicans that any shed of integrity is Ron Paul. The rest of them are either frauds, tricksters or bullies. Just to put it into perspective, a great republican president from the past: - Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion - The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office. - Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

WDeranged Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah I like Ron Paul, I don't think he's got all the answers but I agree with a good amount of what he says, he'd get my vote if I weren't a pasty old worlder, the fact that most big media want him silenced is the clincher, they do not like him one bit.

Gorgon Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'm surprised the whole wife debacle seems to have turned in his favor. It's positive on one hand that those kinds of attacks seem to have lost their bite, and on the other hand remember all that 'moral majority' crap. It seems to me there ought to be a price to pay when a family values holier than thou candidate doesn't live up to his name. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

Guard Dog Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I just do not understand this! How is that miserable bloated gasbag of a politcal caricture (Gingrich) actually looking like he might win the nomination? He would be the worst possible choice for the Repub nomination but somehow he is winning. I could understand if it were Ron Paul pulling the upset but Gingrich? This guy has more ethical issues than Warren Harding. I'm still supporting Romney and I hope he'll pull it out. He'd make a much better President than Barry O and much better than Gingrich. If Newt gets the nom I'm voting Libertarian. Between Obama and Newt we'd all be f****d either way.

Because of the way that the primary's are set up... you have to fight to be the most extreme member and pander to the factions that'll give the most support within the party.... just to turn around and fight it out on a national scale against the current president, and trying to pander to the moderates. Basically, the way its' set up right now, the most effective leaders and bi-partisan/moderate people who could even think of running for the presidency, are weeded out before they can even try to act moderate/bi-partisan. I did have myself an internal laugh when my friends back home (when I said that Mitt was the only chance in hell the republicans had of ejecting Obama from the White House) said that Romney wasn't a conservative... he's a moderate, and thus they wouldn't vote for him.
