I never said I was a Paul supporter, but you're welcome to come find me anyway. Right now I'm having a good laugh. |

While there is a smiley, on the serious side I fail to see the connection... probably because I don't get the joke either... and sadly, explaining a joke usually kills it. Goddamn Commies, get off my lawn |

Yup, so much for being a registered Republican so I can my say in the nomination, why does it even matter when the choice is made for me by idiots in other states and the big-business liberal republican leadership and a complicit media. I'm done. |
|
|
I said that since the beginning.. I have faith in him being a VP ticket.. |
|
|
I feel very bad that his mother is sick. Very bad. But that should not be a reason to be lazy when so many put their hopes on you. |
|
|
IMHO I think he dropped out a little early. I'm of the mindset that if your going to start something, you finish it.
|

The 2nd is a emergency escape hatch from tyranny and a bulwark for self-defence. Anyone who is willing to scrap that, is clearly fucking stupid if their motivation is ignorance or fucking evil if otherwise. Out of all the other issues, I can see none more deserving of single-issue voting than the 2nd. |
||
|
Well, I guess my vote goes to Romney. No way I'm voting for Paul, McCain or Huckabee.
|
|
I was the first person to say last spring that he had no chance. Even so, this is disheartening news. |
|
|
Major Dittos on that... |

|
Fred and that ass-wipe McCain are friends. Fred will probably be ass-wipe's VP choice. 5sub |
|
|
Won't happen. He's in until the convention... cuz he ain't a quitter... |
|||
|
I think Fred let every one of his supporters down. All through the big buildup towards his announcement to run, folks were all pumped up...only to see Fred announce, then appear as the most un-enthusiastic candidates I've ever seen.
A shame... |

McLame is old........you never know |

FUCK NO
Shit, and I already marked and sealed my absentee ballot. Now what, do I still send it in or are they going to send me a new one. |
|
Hey,
Carl sure has been anxious to break this story. He's broken it 3 times now. I'll still hold out hope until Fred says it's over. Kevin "Fuck Fox." |
|
I wouldnt waste a vote on the Texas Conspiracy.. |
|
|
Thompson dropped out for the same reason Paul will. Most Republicans don't want a constitutionalist with libertarian ideology (aka, Conservative.)
They want an evangelical socialist who will take care of them and rant and rave about how bad abortion and gay marriage are. Welcome to the new GOP. |
|
|
Like I said.
I didn't think Thompson had the staying power. I was told how wrong I was in a bunch of ways. www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=660895 Oh well. He who laughs... |

I am not a single issue voter.
Ron Paul is pro-life. He's delivered over 4000 babies and introduced pro-life legislation. Ron Paul wants to abolish the income tax and replace it with NOTHING! Ron Paul wants to REDUCE the size of the federal government and restore more power to the states! Ron Paul wants to deregulate our industries and FIGHT illegal immigration for real by getting rid of the free social programs for the illegals. No more "birthright" citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants. Ron Paul is the ONLY conservative candidate left. And he's as conservative as it gets! He knows the Constitution inside and out! The only single issue voters on here are the ones who want more war, war, WAR. Forget it, man. Let's take our country back from the evils of Fascism and Socialism. VOTE RON PAUL!!! |
|
No way, they can't have the "old and older" ticket. |
||
|
And how. Didnt even get to vote for him and now I have to go with someone else, none of which Im really thrilled to do. |

|
Fixed it for you.. ETA Fixed again.. |

Well, this is depressing.
You can't deny that getting in too late was an issue. Sure, he got a huge bump when he first announced, but the problem was that by the time he got in, Guliani and Romney had already been annointed as the folks to beat. The MSM never got behind him as a legitimate front-runner, and for better or for worse, you need the MSM behind you as a candidate. If they don't recognize you as a front-runner, you don't get the free airtime, you don't get in the debates. People don't see you on the news and they don't support you. Sucks, but that's the way it is. His other problem was the way he handled his campaign right after he got in. Right off the bat, he more or less decided to hang his hat on S. Carolina. He needed to be freakin' Superman after he announced - be in every debate, be on every Sunday morning news show, run hard in every caucus and primary. And he didn't do it. The whole Iowa/New Hampshire thing is, IMHO, ridiculous; why should two piss-ant states have so much sway in deciding a candidate? But, again, that's the way it is. Huckabee would be done already if not for Iowa. McCain would be screwed without N.H. In this day and age, I don't think you can sit out the first few. Proof of this will be Guliani in Florida - he's been a ghost everywhere but there for the past month. I think he's in for a rude awakening if he thinks he can get away with skipping all the early states and relying on Florida. |

Too bad about Fred...
No, People would rather have another RINO globalist to further wreck our country then a somewhat wacky Constitutionalist. We will reap what we have sown! |
|
|
Yeah right. You'll need your 2A right after he guts the military |
|
|
That would be great if the American people truly had the will and spine to follow through with the threat the 2nd poses to the government. The 2nd is largely an empty threat at this point. Exactly when are you going to say "thats enough" and fight? When your government takes your stuff and gives it to other people? Too late for that... When your government spends more time concerned with what will get them elected instead of what they were elected for? Too late for that... When people have to watch everything they say to prevent government retribution? Too late for that... |
|||
|
The phrase "you reap what you sow" would have new meaning if Ron Paul ever got elected, believe me. |
||
|
There are more people alive today than all the people that have lived and died over the last 5,000 years! And, we can't find even one decent leader!!!
|
|
Ron Paul is NOT going to "gut" the military.
He was a flight surgeon in the Air Force during Vietnam. He's the only candidate who will fight for our veterans and fix the VA disaster! He's gotten more contributions from veterans than ANY OTHER CANDIDATE!! Guys, I'm serious, Ron Paul needs our support NOW! |
|
I'd rather my campain funds go to charity than any of the other cadidates. |
|
|
How much are you going to owe Sherrick now???? |

|
Don't waste your time. Not here. Let these people mourn |
|
|
Ron Paul wants to Gut our military, and remove our ability to project force around the world. Ron Paul wants to do whatever appears to get him votes. No thanks. Not right now. |

Now we get to sit back and see what happens at the convention. |
|
Who the fuck do you think you are? You have no idea how my opinion was formed, but let me assure that it was not based on what "the media" that I don't even watch or read says. I made that statement based 100% on the fact that I was very excited for Fred to run in the months before he finally announced, but that excitement started to wane as I watched other candidates launch their campaigns while Fred continued to play coy. He had a golden opportunity to jump into the race when there was a bunch of excitement and buzz about him. Momentum that he might well have been able to ride into the primaries, and he fucking blew it. |

Yet another new guy who is in great form. |

Huh? I bet him $1,000.00 that FDT WOULD NOT BE THE NEXT POTUS, and he (wisely) declined to take me up on it... |
