And I urge all of you to do the same. Anyone who pledges to get rid of the income tax, abolish the IRS and do away with SS has my vote. Not that it will make any diff here in CA, the Dem will still get the electoral votes.
If you vote (yet again) for the 'lesser of two evils', you'll still get evil, in the form of either another big government liberal Republican, or a wacked out Marxist Democrat. Either way is not acceptable IMO.
Let's do something different this time. Your vote does count. Use it wisely.
Riles and I agree on a presidential candidate. Hell has officially frozen over.
Oh, and let's see some of the comments.
Paul is the Republicans' counterpart to Kucinich.
Kucinich is not a pro RKBA candidate, has a completely different approach to abortion (he claims to support abortion but really wants the state to be able to make the decision for you), argues for more environmental regulations, amnesty for illegals, and other stances which could not be further from Ron Paul's talking points.
The merits of these issues or ideas is another thing entirely, but it suffices to say "counterpart" implies either that Kucinich is the evil Ron Paul doppelganger (probably what Manedwolf actually meant), or that they both share these views and one just happens to be a Republican and the other a Democrat. I'm sure it's the former and not the latter but I sincerely challenge that statement if that is not the case.
Like Ron Paul or hate him. Agree with him or not. He will not win, or even come close. A vote for Ron Paul to "send a message" is a vote for the Democrats. Plain and simple. Its your vote, just dont want to hear you bitch about Hillary in the white house.
This is true because you say so then?
So the implication is voting for Paul means I am helping Hilldog. Let's see, if I vote for Paul and not Clinton, that's one for Paul, none for Clinton. Yeah, I don't follow the logic here.
And honestly, I'm hoping to send a message to the Republicans. The Democrats are a lost cause at this point.
Functionally, Ron Paul corresponds to Ralf Nader.
No, one's trying to run on the ticket of one of the only two socially acceptable political parties and the other is not.
If Ron ends up putting Hillary in the white house, so be it.
Might be the GOP could start courting the voters that Ron is gathering up.
For too many years we have been voting against people. IE keeping dems out of the white house.
I think its time to actually vote for someone.
An excellent point. Just as the American Socialist party never actually won a presidential election and yet managed to get everything they wanted, that's exactly how advocates of limited government have to proceed.
Also, he made a deluded comment in the interview after, that "people in New Hampshire are opposed to the war"...HELL NO! I see "proud parent of a Marine" stickers on cars, no antiwar junk!
Being the proud parent of a Marine and your stance on the war have exactly nothing to do with each other.
Yeah yeah, vote for Ron Paul. Even though he's shrill and whiney. Even though his message falls somewhere between asinine and absurd. Even though he doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning. Even though he'd make a terrible President.
At least voting for Ron Paul will make you feel good, right?
Might as well stay home and masturbate. That's just as likely to influence national politics, and it'll make you feel better.
Let's see, an argument based on opinion, insults, with no substantive criticsm, and a vulgar reference to a sexual act to top it all off. All that complaining about complaining, and there's not even a suggestion to an alternative course of action.
Persuasive indeed. Such resplendent eloquence motivates me greatly to vote for Dr. Paul if these are the best arguments his critics can offer.
