Ron Paul post-Iowa speech cut off after speaking against the NDAA of 2012, which he voted against.

Liberals like Santorum as much as Paul? wtf


Religious left in full effect

1/10/2012 9:54:34 PM

Great effort, the message is spreading. The fact that we have to get to the point where everyone in this country is broke to listen is a sad commentary on the people of this country.


It's crazy that anyone making under $5,000,000 million a year actually thinks Romney/Obama has their interests in mind

1/11/2012 12:01:42 AM

I'm not sure how 35% of liberals could accept Santorum

First time I've donated to anyone's political campaign (save for every president since 1996 that used AF-1 for campaign purposes...I'm sure Obama isn't the first...just the most flagrant).

1/15/2012 10:06:18 AM

I'd like to see him doing some TV advertising here in SC. he does know there is an election in less than a week, right?

1/15/2012 2:06:53 PM

Ron Paul will win 2012.


Guaranteed.


If he loses, we no longer have to guess whether the voting system is corrupt. It will be corrupt absolutely.

1/15/2012 3:12:33 PM

^and you figure this...how?

1/15/2012 3:44:54 PM

because he's trolling

1/15/2012 3:50:01 PM

I'm not asking for anyone to prove me wrong or reply. I'm solely answering MisterGreen's question.

Quote :

"and you figure this...how?"

I do social research via the internet using Facebook, TWW, etc...

I do social research via real life customers, friends, family, etc...

I study how opinion of the populous changes over time and monitor how a news story affects public opinion.

I observe the reactions and numbers of supporters at public events.

I read comments on all the candidate's facebooks.

I look at donation amounts and the donators.

If you'd like to back me up on this and check for yourself, if you read any negatively portrayed yahoo news story about Ron Paul, all the yahoo comments at the bottom of the page show overwhelming support for Ron Paul.

This is especially important to note because Yahoo commentators usually express the most unobstructed opinionated comments on the internet. These users are the first ones to stereotype, throw racist comments, disprove a story, add a conspiracy theory, mock people for getting killed etc. This is important because I believe these feelings represent what the majority of people are thinking but are usually too afraid to express publicly. The fact that they are being positive and saying positive things on the Internet is pretty powerful.

If you look at the facts as pertains to capturing core American values on Freedom:
Ron Paul has the right message.
The supporters are more energetic and enthusiastic and agreeing with Ron Paul's message.
Even the candidates running against Ron Paul support Ron Paul.

Who is resisting?
The only resistance is coming from corporate owned media and the rich and powerful behind the scenes who we don't even know their names. Well... at least I don't know their names and if you can tell me, that would be fantastic. I would like to know who is in charge of organizing the whole presidential voting process including allocating resources, approving procedures, security, etc? I would like to know. I would like to know who are the people that approve the stories that are approved on the front page of yahoo, associated press, CNN, FOX, MSN, etc? Who are the people that approve the approvers?

All I know about the top of the chain is this: 1) They're rich 2) They're biased 3) They're both manipulated and manipulating. 4) They have power 5) They have friends in Washington.

Okay, all of you Jon Huntsman supporters, it's time to make a choice: Do you want to support a candidate who has had and will have to apologize for his record during this Presidential Election, or do you want someone who has been a life-long conservative and protector of liberty? Ron Paul is the answer to the disease that is Obama Politics in Washington, not another Establishment Republican.

Well, he is sort of a populist...and he is a halfwitted douche...so I guess that accounts for a few percent.

...but yeah, I don't get it, either (although it did say "moderates/liberals", not that I see how that would make any difference). The only reason anyone should support him is because they're cocksuckers who want a theocracy.

1/15/2012 11:04:42 PM

I would think cocksuckers would be the last to support Santorum. I imagine he'd be against that, no matter how many males were involved. gotta protect that sacred seed!

1/16/2012 9:43:08 AM

Oh come on, you know as well as I that it's types like him who end up tapping their feet in airport bathrooms with a nice, wide stance.

1/16/2012 9:59:03 AM

Bear in mind that self-identifying as "moderate" doesn't actually mean you are a moderate, it can also mean you happen to know some *seriously* crazy people that make your own beliefs look mundane. There's also plenty of people who call themselves moderate simply because it makes them feel above the fray to say so, or they're so confident in their own beliefs that they assume they must be the common sense middle-of-the-road position.

1/16/2012 12:16:56 PM

i support ron paul not because i necessarily agree with his entire platform, but because his attitude and beliefs are exactly what we need in washington. as it stands, whether we have a republican or dem president, i believe the nation is slowly moving in the wrong direction, especially fiscally. electing paul would by no means guarantee that his entire platform would be enacted, but it would help push our country back in the right direction again.

1/16/2012 2:27:48 PM

^ Yea, I looked at a couple of his platforms on his website and thought.. wtf? But I agree that it is the only truly different thinking.

when romney gets elected, he needs to nominate ron paul as chairman of the fed

Why would you nominate someone that wants to abolish the Fed as chairman of the Fed? Romney has no problem with the Fed.

1/16/2012 3:27:27 PM

exactly. you're slowly getting there.

1. owning a business = always a rich thug white old dude. never because he's an intelligent clever guy
2. evolving political opinions = always a flip floper. can't be that he learned from mistakes
3. paying 15% taxes and being rich = you're breaking the law! can't be because you are paying the 15% long term capital gains tax.


on the other side of the coin:

1. if you're a senator from chicago and black = you're a thug as well
2. not wearing a flag pin on suit = you're anti american and burn american flags
3. if you don't give up your birth certificate and you're dad is from kenya and you go to church with jeremiah wright and bill ayers for 20 years = you're a secret muslim terrorist
