Ron Paul has not dropped out got it?

^ The bottom line is that Ron Paul has "suspended" his campaign - which basically means virtually nothing. No, he has not dropped out of the race, because he still wants to be seen and heard at the GOP Convention. He knows he cannot win the GOP nod, but he wants his ideals taken seriously.

It is his kooky zealot followers who believe this is some genius campaign strategy that WILL win him the GOP Nomination. They are dead wrong, but there's no talking sense to a Ron Paul Zealot.

 

I'm not in the habit of calling anybody names but I debated with a Ron Paul follower once.
I consider myself a person with an open mind , but I could not understand his policy.
Although I tried it seems like his platform is set up on deals that can be made rather than hard core this is what I want America to become.
Perhaps I misunderstood?

 

Ron Paul is a decent enough fellow. Though he wasn't my first choice in the GOP Primary, other drop-outs made him my main choice - UNTIL I started spending more time around his ridiculous zealot followers. Those people are INSANE. It's nothing short of a cult. They're primarily a bunch of nutty, selfish, 18-25 year olds that know NOTHING about politics in general, or world affairs, or finance, or even the Constitution. They're mostly loud-mouthed, arrogant, insulting and pushy.

In a nutshell, it turns out I'm really uncomfortable with quite a few of Ron Paul's "platform stances." His stance on "abortion becoming a state issue" is insane and unworkable. His ideas about foreign policy are over the top. And this pie-in-the-sky ideal of making everything a state issue is nothing more than refusing to take an actual stance on most issues. Furthermore, if he was the Savior they claim he is, how is it that he's in his 3rd Decade in Congress and hasn't yet done anything of significance?

Ron Paul is history. Some of his ideas will live on - the good ones, I hope. But Ron Paul is history. He won't even be remembered as The Ross Perot of this election.

 

Perhaps that is the problem with Ron Paul and his platform?
Ron Paul has more bad ideas than good ideas?

 

Perhaps you're watching a bit too much MSM, and you've allowed yourself to be brainwashed into thinking the candidates they discuss, such as Obama, Romney, and Paul, are the only ones worth considering.

 

I like the idea of PURE Liberatarianism.. if there is such a thing?

Then again, we need govt for some things... like roads, common services, national armies, etc....

Still, when it comes down to the bare bones of everything, we are all in this ALONE. And, whomever protects our rights to do whatever we want in the privacy of our own homes and property, is the one looking out for us as a people... and not for their money payers or special constituents.

If we can EVER get some campaign election funding reform... we might have a chance to survive another 50 years as a free democratic republic. Otherwise, we're just gonna become China West.

 

I have yet to hear a single Ron Paul supporter mention or see him as a Saviour or Mesiah. The only people that say that are brain dead trolls. Dont be one of them.

 

Ron Paul was never really a factor.

 

A person with a basic education.....can understand what paul wants to do. All you have to know is how to read and click in his website. His policy is not what is being debated. Its just a bunch of no life losers who the hop on every ron paul thread trolling for attention . They say he never had a chance but yet they say it over and over in every ron paul thread. Must be trying to convince themselves.

As i was saying its Not hard to figure out what paul wants even with the media black out and general ignorance by the public. It is howver hard to figure out what mitt romneys platform is. I mean its not like im stupid enough to to believe what comes out of his mouth. There are as many if not more videos of him lying or flip flopping than obama. What s worse is he has the same financial backers as obama which should be a red flag to even the most dense of people out there.

 

Thank you for making my point for me.

 

The big lie is that Ron Paul is not a Mainstream Media candidate. Again, this is a lie.

He has been to numerous nationally televised debates, been invited to the Sunday shows like Meet the Press, and countless interviews on the various cable news networks.

 

The point that you are trolling and trying to stir the pot? That was made with your first post. Dont kid yourself

 

Would you like me to call the Waaaaaaaaaaambulance for you?

Despite all your worship, arrogant rhetoric, and delusional rants, your man is NOT going to get the GOP nod. And what's kind of funny about it, is that you're reacting like the typical Ron Paul Zealot. Lots of excuses, lots of blame, accusations of how stupid Americans are, etc.

Your man was just another candidate. He lost. Get over it.

 

no thanks, we'll hear enough cry baby out of you for the next four years, as the status quo remains in charge and you devote your energy to blaming the "other side".

 

As evidenced by the fact that that is what I've been doing for the past 40 years.

Nice try though...

 

Right. Paul has all the resources and attention to win this nomination and he didn't! For all the hype he got from his supporters and the resources he had he should have won the nomination.

 

He doesnt have Goldman Sacks for backup like Mittens and Obama.

 

voting status quo ? Yup, I believe it.

 

When did i state he was going to get the nomination? Showing documented election fraud is not excuses nor blame. Americans in general are stupid our test scores compared to the rest of the world shows this.

I am agnostic i worship no one.

The only one ranting is.... You.

 

We need to get back to the basics. The Federal Reserve needs to be abolished. It is not a branch of the US Government. The Fed is operated by a handful of powerful financiers who lend the govt money at interest. Interestingly, President Wilson realize what a disaster he created by passing the Federal Reserve Act:

"A great industrial nation is controlled by it's system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the world--no longer a government of free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men." — President Woodrow Wilson

Paul is right:

Q: ...you believe the Fed shouldn't exist... make the case.

A: "First reason is, it's not authorized in the Constitution, it's an illegal institution. The second reason, it's an immoral institution, because we have delivered to a secretive body the privilege of creating money out of thin air; if you or I did it, we'd be called counterfeiters, so why have we legalized counterfeiting? But the economic reasons are overwhelming: the Federal Reserve is the creature that destroys value. This station talks about free market capitalism, and you can't have free market capitalism if you have a secret bank creating money and credit out of thin air. They become the central planners, they decide what interest rates should be, what the supply of money should be..."

People really need to wake up.

 

yeah getting back to the topic now,so very true,thats why the corporate media is ignoring him.

 

Ron Paul Should Drop Out Now

by Eli Lehrer - Vice President, The Heartland Institute

In recent weeks, Ron Paul has emerged as the greatest threat to the Republican Party's future. If the Texas Congressman and one-time Libertarian Party presidential nominee actually wants to see President Obama defeated in November, he should bow out of the Republican nomination process quickly, accept whatever offer the Romney camp offers him for a speaking slot during the convention, and endorse the inevitable nominee. His continued efforts to pursue delegates (even after saying that he wouldn't contest future primaries) make the possibility that the GOP convention could become a party-damaging circus rather than the coronation-style infomercial that's needed to unify the party.

The facts are pretty simple: Paul supporters, with the aid and comfort of his campaign organization, are doing everything they can to get more delegates even as their candidate has stopped trying to win actual votes. One Texan friend -- a Romney supporter -- said that local Paul supporters (none of them previously known to local party regulars) stretched a routine pre-election meeting out to hours beyond its normal length in an effort to force the acceptance of a handful of Paul delegates who couldn't impact the eventual nominee whatever happens. Paul supporters, likewise, have launched plans to "convert" delegates from other candidates to their man. And widespread Facebook posts call on delegates to exploit a Republican Party rule that allows votes open votes on nominee during the first ballot.

This could really be a mess: although, baring a live boy/dead girl situation Romney will be the nominee by the time the last delegates check out of their hotels in Tampa on August 30, a critical mass of Paul delegates could make things messy simply by challenging Romney, trying unsuccessfully to get their pet issues added to the platform and, maybe, even finagling a way to drag out the first ballot beyond the allotted time. It's all for naught. Romney will be the nominee even after all of this and only the most petty Paul-follower concerns will make it into the platform. And they shouldn't. Romney is, in any case, the only Republican who has the resources, support, network and name recognition to mount a national campaign that could beat Obama.

Paul may or may not have more delegates than Gingrich at the convention. Paul WILL NOT have more delegates than Santorum. And Paul will have less than 15% of Romney's total.

Paulobots live in a world of total make-believe. Paul was NEVER is serious candidate and now he HAS dropped out.

Immature children think Paul had something to offer. Has has not had anything to offer except bad breath for 30 years.
