How many of the people here who will vote for Ron Paul this election voted for Obama last time?

Ron Paul is the only constitutionalist. That's a conservative in the truest sense of the word. I want to conserve what the founders created. Paul's the only one with an understanding of economics. He fully understands the principals this country was founded upon. He knows his history and philosophy. We either restore this country to what it was intended to be or you can stick a fork in us. This is our last chance. I've got my mind made up on freedom, individual liberty, sovereignty, and putting America first. Ron Paul is the only candidate with those values. Like judge Andrew Napolitano says, RP is a modern day Thomas Jefferson. This empire bullshit will destroy us, just like Rome. The clock is running out and we have precious little time if we want to restore the country.

Actually I don't believe that...what is this road to hell that you refer to which every president since Carter has had us on?...explain it.

Your not actually serious are you?

I did not vote for Obama, nor will I be voting for Ron Paul in the primaries. With that said, I'll be voting for anyone who runs against Obama. I don't care who it is at this point because I want this POS out of the white house and out of my life.

Well...hopefully we won't really have to vote for a jar of pickles....but compared to Obama?....that might not be a bad option....them garlic ones ain't bad...;)

It's the "New boss same as the old boss" situation,been going on for a very long time since (I believe) the end of WW2. I couldn't see a major change from the Bush administration (Right Wing) and Obama Administration (Left Wing).
I don't know what to think about the political system in the West anymore, they seem more intrested in Middle Eastern "Democracy" than practice their own democracy in their own country.

Obama is doing good work , there is difference between being judophile and being American - code that well OP....

I love garlic pickles :) But I think you know what I mean. I'm not really happy with the GOP on parade right now, personally I would like to see Palin run. But who ever makes the ticket, I will vote for them.

Hey Brit......you hit the nail on the head IMO

Hit what nail?....you do realize that America has never been a Democracy, was never meant to be a Democracy and as long as we exist, as we were meant to, never will be a Democracy?

You bet...it involves being the boss of a thermonuclear Armageddon machine that can destroy all of the human race several times over...

Would you like to know more?

Hit what nail?....you do realize that America has never been a Democracy, was never meant to be a Democracy and as long as we exist, as we were meant to, never will be a Democracy?

Yes I understand perfectly, the Brit made a point that was probably unintentional.........that we "practice Democracy" instead of what this nation was founded as, "a Republic".....that was my point in agreeing with him. We have strayed and in straying we have become a National Republic ruled by Law to the very system of Democracy that the Founders ABHORRED and spoke VERY vehemently against in their contemporaneous essays.

I think you find you DO live in a Democracy (of sorts) you don't know real tyranny or oppression, where I have.So consider yourself lucky to live where you do, and change the future for the good.

There is no "losing" in voting for Ron Paul.

1. If the voting system is rigged, but we get enough people to vote for Paul, we can PROVE this to the be the case, or at least make it really hard for the establishment to get their man in office, and for their man to then lead the country. People still remember the close election of Gore and Bush, imagine if we could get another controversy like that going!
2. If Ron Paul is assassinated or morphs into every other politician once he gets into office, we have proof the whole system is rigged. That's powerful proof in the pudding.
3. If he fulfills his promises, this country will make a turn for the better. No one is saying Paul is a savior, or that there aren't thousands of moving parts besides the US that contribute to what goes on around us, or that this will be the end of all our struggles. But why not take a step in the right direction? Why try to foil it?
4. If you think Ron Paul is another puppet, or that voting is just supporting a broken system, that's fine. But instead of bashing Paul and his fans, why not unite with his fans and spend your time investigating alternatives for influencing change? Is there some anti-government group you know of that we should support? Are there things you encourage us to do locally, instead of focusing nationally?

Get rid of the hatred and the insults, get out of your arm chair, and just contribute to a productive conversation, god damn it! You don't have to agree, but at least get on the same page as us. It's not Ron Paul fans that will bring this nation down. It's people who have the same basic opinions about how corrupt this government is FIGHTING with each other, that will be the ultimate end of us all.

Replace your philosophy with a solution !

And, if you are already a Ron Paul fan, please know that there really is a media blackout around him. It's not being made up. That should be enough motivation to get you to the polls and get you talking to friends and family about him!

EX:
"Rick Perry" has been mentioned 9,630 times in the past month on the Austin Statesman.
"Ron Paul"? 163 times.
Thread: Local TX Paper Only Talks About Rick Perry

So just voting for whomever wins then...did you do that last time and cast your vote for Obama?...or did your guy lose....my guy lost too last time...so I feel ya.

"Your guy"? Who do you work for?

Reposting from another thread:

Obama is the best thing to happen to america in a long time. Bush couldn't even string a sentence together for gawd sake. All the right is doing is bickering amongst themselves, if u look at em its like watching a bunch of retarded chimps.

Ron paul is dam man, but we all know he hasnt got a chance in hell, corporations/money men won't allow that to happen


Obama comes across as highly intelligent, sophisticated and a goal to help the common man. All u right wing nutjobs can say anything you wan but there isnt a decent man amongst the right, except ron paul that even comes close to Obama in the debating/ interacting with the people department. And thats the truth


Obama will win hands down....deal with it

This poll kinda scares me it shows me that Obama will win if Ron Paul isn't the Republican nominee.
What would happen is it would split the vote and Obama would slide in and win the presidency. We can't let that happen

Poll? Hijacked by your rants.
Let me toss some honesty and truth in this --- the republican party will not eom the whitehouse this term unless they nominate and get behind Herman Cain ... period. BUT, you and they --- WON'T ... and you need to look in the mirror while holding a picture of Mr Cain and answer "Why not Cain"?!! It's the only way to win the whitehouse in 2012.

Obama waded into piranha infested waters with a base that just wanted the whitehouse and was never poised to support him. They've not done the work they should have done for America because they are profiteers just like the GOP fools. You really have a good "president" in Obama but just like you can't shake your prejudices, neither can his backers and his competitors.

Trust me when I tell you...if Ron Paul did win the nom?...which has about the same odds of happening as you being mauled by a polar bear AND a regular bear in the same day?...Obama would murder the republican party in a landslide...but that isn't going to happen so I'm not concerned...whoever does run against him?...they have a very strong chance of defeating Obama....but I do believe it will be a close race...so what I really wonder is how many ex-Obama voters will go back to him if Ron Paul is not nominated?...and how many RP voters will vote for RP as a write in....are the RP voters willing to risk Obama being re-elected by a very narrow margain?...one that maybe they could have swung with a mere few hundred votes?...how many of the RP fans are willing to go down with the ship...
