She was praising his supporters. :tu

Hmmm....5 posts in the thread and no 'see, I told yew he wuz a liberal' comments yet.
I think she wants him to run again to take votes away from the republican candidate again.Quote:

If Democrats really want to take votes away from Republicans, they should encourage Palin to run in 2012.
I think that was covered back when he was declared a crazy nutjob.Quote:

You didn't count the votes in the primaries. RP didn't run for president in the general election.Quote:

Actually it's pretty hard to tell you were talking about the presidential race. You just said that RP got less votes than Alan Keyes.Quote:

I apologize for any confusion.
Good Lord, you posted that AFTER you said Alan Keyes got more votes.Quote:

Why should there be any confusion after that?
I would really love to leave this thread alone but whatever
At 5:08 you say, "Feh, Alan Keyes got more votes than Ron Paul."---Could mean primaries, foxnews.com popularity contest, presidential election, who knows
You post the numbers then Galileo says those are the presidential numbers, which are irrelevant since RP pulled out long before the election.
At 6:53 you say, "Again, if you want to talk about the primaries, enjoy yourself. You know I wasn't."
So how is anyone supposed to know you were talking about the presidential numbers at the beginning when you said Keyes got more votes than RP? It's really not a valid point anyway---most of those votes were likely write-ins.
Good points.Quote:

I apologized for any misunderstanding.
Feel free to make excuses for Paul -- he was a fringe candidate no matter how you slice it.
You can't answer this question for yourself?Quote:

Bush did everything but head over to the National Archives and shit on the Constitution.
Paul was revered by conservatives once upon a time as the ideal congressman. He was one of the earliest supporters of Ronald Reagan back in 1976. Of course, in the secessionist hotbed that is Texas, Paul took something like 3% of the GOP primary vote (yes, by then the race had been decided, but still).Quote:

The weird thing is that on social policy, all of primary candidates, save for Paul, were nothing more than big government advocates, content to continue the status quo.
The GOP needs an insurrection in the worst way. The old guard has led it down the wrong path. Frauds like Dobson, Hannity, and the editorial staffs of The Weekly Standard and National Review need to be shown the door. The government isn't a church and the people don't exist to serve the state as it seeks global domination. Paul has his faults, but I don't see anyone else willing to articulate an alternative view of where we should be headed as a nation in the GOP.
We can have all of the bellyaching about how Obama is leading us to 'socialism', but honestly he's basically continuing where his predecessor left off.
I think the nation will be ready for a non-bailout path soon, but staging the comeback will require the party to become more libertine in matters social. True individualism will still play well, but you need someone credible to deliver that message. Other than Paul I don't see anyone else who can.
Chump got chumped lulz
I cleared up any ambiguity rather quickly lulz
haha still too much pride lollerzQuote:
