Is it just me, or are Ron Paul supporters insufferable in general? This is not a direct shot at Che and his innumerable articles, though the projected inferiority complex is apparent. I was just watching my new favorite channel (C-Span) and they were taking calls for a conservative guest from supposed Republicans, Democrats, and Indepndents. It was 5/1 insufferable Paul supporters to rational people.

What is it about the supporters? Is it them taking on the personality of their fearless leader, or is it the revolutionary message itself that stirs the overzealous actions and behavior?

Winehole23

yeah, they are a little more insufferable than everyone else.

I wouldn't blame that on totally on RP. That would be like blaming the Dead for Deadheads, or JC for the ill behavior of his flock.

What's wrong with small government and limited government? What's wrong with being against nation building and government spending that causes a country to go bankrupt? What's wrong with people being pissed about America spending a billion dollars on an embassy in Iraq? What's wrong with letting people do what they want to do?

RP has no chance to win, but he is the candidate bringing youth and enthusiasm -- new voters -- to the Republican party. discouraging the new participation and self-identification is an odd strategy to adopt imho...

methinks the "insufferable" part comes with the fact that Ron Paul supporters always win the discussion because they always fall back on a piece of paper called the US Constitution :lol

Sure, but I just don't see him getting the GOP nomination. Which would make his appeal to disaffected progressives and his head-to-head numbers vs. Obama a non-factor.

I make no claims of clairvoyance, but, like I said, I just don't see it.

I think there are certain segments of Paul's agenda with appeal to the broader Republican base, but it seems the core issue that his supporters most ardently advocate (isolationist foreign policy) is not one the base or their candidate will adopt...which means the "Paul" vote in the general election will be marginalized.

Curious if RP supporters agree or disagree.

At this point, yes I do. His support and funding are at a point where I think he'll be persuaded to enter the race as an independent if/when he loses the nomination.

Given his wide-ranging appeal, I'm not sure it would help the candidacy of either party though.

Winehole23

hmm. RP's irrelevance to the race may vary inversely with the intensity of the aggrieved cries related to it.

the sheer volume of reporting on the supposed irrelevance of RP is already impressive. But RP won't stay ignored, or meekly withdraw.

boutons_deux
01-18-2012, 02:37 PM
Even if RP gets "plank(s)" in the Repug platform, they won't be voted into law unless the Repugs would have put them in anyway, so RP remains inconsequential, except to the media drumming up contrived campaign drama to draw viewers for their advertisers.

01-18-2012, 02:42 PM

Winehole23
01-18-2012, 02:45 PM
has Colbert ruled out running?

Spurminator
01-18-2012, 02:45 PM
Yeah, Colbert's whole thing right now is exposing the flaws in the system. I highly doubt he has any real interest in running for President.

Winehole23
01-18-2012, 02:53 PM
no no, you don't get me. if he hasn't ruled it out (and I agree it's totally unlikely he won't at some point) it's still technically possible.

Colbert could change his mind for some reason.

Therefore, until he withdraws flamboyantly from a race he never really entered, or expressly says no, it is a real possibility, in addition to being a humorous yardstick in a still crowded field.

the sense of absurdity other posters have expressed wrt Colbert's possible candidacy is proleptic imho. soon, it will be undeniable; but for the moment it is technically possible, just barely, maybe.

the Main Stream Media has instilled you very erroneous thoughts. Let me help out:

Non-interventionism is primarily concerned with military interventions in foreign countries. It's a policy designed to avoid wars not directly related to national defense and to also avoid expansion of State power. It's best described as military non-intervention, although it can also apply to international efforts to control certain countries' economies, like the IMF has tended toward when they loan money to struggling countries -- this type of intervention usually has negative consequences when there is ignorance of a country's special circumstances, needs, culture and history.

Non-interventionism is not a call for isolationism, tarrifs and other protectionist measures against global trade. A country with a non-interventionist policy can very well be open in all other respects, such as culture exchange, immigration/emigration, peaceful free trade, technology and intelligence cooperation. Some in media know better when they conflate non-interventionism with isolationism -- they use "isolationism" as a smear tactic -- but the sad probability is that many don't know.

I would recommend you read my post above. It describes the real term "non-interventionist" the isolationist term is completely mistaken and it's a term used to smear Paul. It's the same thing as calling Obama a communist.

I like Paul and he would be a vast improvement to Barry. I am aware pod the isolationist term put on him. It might however be getting him votes more so than losing it, although I doubt that was the plan when it was coined.

So I may have used the wrong word, but it wasn't intended to mischaracterize his position, which I will still contend is not one any Republican not named Paul will adopt.

Again, if that's the case I don't see RP supporters rallying around the Republican candidate, even though they have similar positions on the size and reach of the federal government.

Agree or disagree?

Some will some won't. It is irrelevant right now because Paul is still in the race, who knows how long he will stay, will he quit? will he endorse someone? will he run 3rd party? All that will affect the answer to your question.

Good points. I'm no Ron Paul fan by any stretch of the imagination, but he'd probably be the least bad between him, Obama, and Romney in a 3-way race and I wouldn't be scared that a vote for him was really a vote for someone I hate (like Nader was for Bush in 2000).

This is our fault, as stupid American voters and citizens, for not voting for the right guy but instead voting for evil just because they are our better kind of evil over the other.

^^^ Again, probably one of the most important topics in this forums history, but I guess it speaks just a bit too much truth for people to handle or discuss.

"Rule breaking straight shooter" and "the right guy" aren't synonymous. I appreciate Paul's unconventional approach, I genuinely do, but not enough to ignore the fact that there are a number of his policies with which I fundamentally (and in some cases quite vehemently) disagree.

He isn't some white night. He is a politician. He will put pork in a bill he is against and votes against. I think he would be a way better president than Obama. But he is what they all are: politician. I would rather have him as the Speaker of the house, or what Palin is doing by being in the sidelines and weilding power.

I can understand disagreeing with his positions, but damn, doesn't his integrity vs everyone else NOT having any damn integrity stand for something? I guess not. So we only have ourselves to blame.

Ron Paul's EPA-less libertarian USA, foreseen in China (Repugs aim to kill EPA,too)

Chinese 'Cancer Village' Takes Alleged Polluters to Court

Nothing in Wu Wenyong's rural childhood hinted he would end up on a hospital bed aged 15, battling two kinds of cancer.

HIGH EXPOSURE

The chromium-6 levels in the water were 200 times above the permissible limits, Ma Tianjie of Greenpeace in China said after

an independent investigation was conducted.

Enforcement of laws regulating the disposal of chromium is poor. Greenpeace's Ma estimates there are 1 million tonnes of chromium-6 dumped across China that still has not been disposed of, based on environment ministry data.

Virtually every resident of the villages knew of someone who contracted cancer after the industrial park was set up about seven years ago. No epidemiological studies have been conducted.

Studies have shown that exposure to chromium-6 causes leukemia and cancer of the stomach, liver and breast.

"It is one of the worst chemicals to get in drinking water,"

Nothing here relevant against Paul. Libertarians do believe in accountability.

It is some of Paul's policies that are too radical for me. Yes, integrity stands for something for if I disagree with too many of your policies then integrity alone is not enough.

"integrity stand for something"

his so-called integrity doesn't excuse his socioopathic, destructive policies.

What "integrity" is used in wanting to kill govt regs that protect Human-Americans health, their lands, water, air, from monopolistic corporate consolidation and its inevitable abuse?

Being wrong over and over, consistently, is "integrity"?

Anyone who is familiar with my posts should know that I'm probably the most vocal in this forum when it comes to defending the poorest of the poor, that's just in my blood. I really disagree with Ron Pauls stances on what to do with the poor, I hate them (Although ending the Fed is frickin AWESOME!!).

But watching these blown up children...come on man, what's worse, trying to get our poor people help with food and things like that (considering Pauls want to end their programs) and stop other kids from being blown up overseas; or keep the programs that will still deteriorate anyway (considering Obama gives the Repugs whatever they want anyway cause he's a corporate bought spineless pussy), and just continue the murder of children and civilians?

Oliver Stone would vote for Ron Paul over Obama


Filmmaker Oliver Stone, known for his liberal political views, said he would vote for GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul over President Obama should Paul win the Republican nomination.

In an interview with Rock Cellar magazine, Stone was asked if an economic collapse would lead to the fall of the American “empire.”

“I think it’s a given,” Stone said. “There’s no way that we can continue this spending spree. In fact, I think in many ways the most interesting candidate — I’d even vote for him if he was running against Obama — is Ron Paul. Because he’s the only one of anybody who’s saying anything intelligent about the future of the world.”

Stone was a vocal supporter of the president in 2008, and wrote an editorial in the Guardian saying that Obama could be the “heir to John F. Kennedy.” :lol I guess that's out the window
