Ron Paul - too good to be true?

[HickSS]

I havent been keeping track as much as Id like on the candidates but from youtube vids here and there I think ill go with Ron Paul. Only thing is, like a few people have said, is America ready for him?

He really won't have a chance if everybody says "aw he doesnt have a chance. i'll vote for someone else."

Remember, if you vote for the lesser of two evils, you're still voting for evil. It's like trying to cure the disease by spreading it.

It don't appear that Ron Paul's supporters think he can win, if his supporters on this board are representative of his supporters nation wide.

Ron Paul WILL win.

I think maybe you misunderstood what both of us were saying.

If I understand Mfqr, he wasn't saying Ron Paul is too good for us, as in we don't deserve him. I think he was saying RP's message sound good, and maybe it's not actually true --- maybe too good to be true.

And when I was sayng he was too libertarian, I wasn't saying his message of liberty is too much for us. I was saying some of his policies of deregulation, which are commonly associated with a "libertarian" point of view, were too much for me. I agree with his defense of personal liberty, and I agree that our constitutional rights have been eroded far too much. I just don't buy his whole package.

Yes, that is what I'm trying to say. Thanks for clearing that up -- maybe I've been too vague in explaining my position in this. And this really isn't what I currently believe, it's just a question I've been asking myself. That maybe it's possible he's a really good liar .

And meatw4d, that is very true. I've thought about that as well. The real anti-Ron Paul propaganda exists in the form of implying that if you vote for him, your vote is wasted, because he doesn't have a chance. But at the same time, I wonder if this is all a form of manipulation to get people to actually look into his beliefs and support him. Like I said, I want to head this thread into a certain direction, but I put it into the politics forum, and not the conspiracy forum. LOL

Stereotyping them.

Hillary wont win cause shes a woman
barrack wont win cause hes black
rommney wont win cause hes mormon
gulani wont win cause hes a cross-dresser
huckebee wont win cause hes an idiot
ron paul wont win cause he wont get enough votes

cause we all know fox news polls are the most factual poll in da world.

in the same book and look how dumb i look right now?

You know as messed up as that sounds.....thats probably true.

You're barking up the wrong tree with the conspiracy theory. It's entered my mind too, and sometimes I don't doubt anything is possible, but c'mon...this guy is golden. Like I tried to point out, looking at his track-record and his principled integrity, it is not possible to believe that Ron Paul is the establishment picked 'dark-horse' candidate. That would be the guy vying to get into the CFR like Hucklebee (he gave a mighty speech in front of CFR). But Hillary is the candidate that the Bilderbergs have given the blessing to. Pass the baton to the blue team for a while. It's more of the same though. The manipulation you refer to, the conditioning and propaganda is obviously going to the candidates you hear so much about. The Ron Paul buzz is being caused by people like you and me...

Yes, you might be right, and I'm glad you understood what I was getting to at the conspiracy side of things. I didn't really believe it, it was just a thought that entered, and I figured I'd try to see what others thought. Thanks for the post.
