I will vote for the GOP nominee, at this point looks to be McCain, unless god create a "miracle" for Huck. I wasn't exactly thrilled with any of the candidates to be honest with you.
It's always just a choice between applying the hand brake on the roller coaster headed to socialism or taking your hand off the brake.
I don't have any respect for Paul, he implies that he would "legalize HEMP" which is 1 of 3 species of marijuana, he chooses that word very very carefully when he does discuss anything related. I think that he is letting people believe as much as they want and if they think he will legalize cannabis sativa, or cannabis indica, then yeah he will take their vote. It is also dishonest, because I am pretty sure that HE KNOWS that if he were the president, there is really nothing he can do aside from clicking his heels and wishing that marijuana was legal. Explain how the president can rub his hands together and magically legalize a scheduel 1 narcotic. IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. He doesn't care what you believe about him just so long as you send him some money and vote for him. I think he intentionally is decieving people (it's called lying by omission) whereas at least other politicians that have terrible ideas actually believe what they say. Does that make any sense?
Example, National Health Care, horrible idea, but Billary and Osama both actually believe that they are doing the right thing. They aren't out there stumping for it knowing all the time that for whatever reason they cannot deliver it.
For someone that is such a proponent of legalizing pot, there is not 1 word mentioning it on his website. Sure I can say "The war on drugs is bad, blah blah blah." Doesn't mean I am going to run for president. HOW EXACTLY, SPECIFICALLY WOULD HE LEGALIZE WEED JUST BECAUSE HE IS THE PRESIDENT? Even if Bush wanted to tomorrow, he couldn't. So how the fuck would Paul? Just because he says or implies that he would isn't good enough for me.
It's as empty as the rhetoric of "yes we can". Yes you can what? Make catchy rhymes? Chant in unisen?
All this coupled with the fact that prohibition is an issue that truly is near and dear to my heart, make me despise him. You can flip flop on issues, you can take opposing views, insult my intelligence by saying or implying that you will legalize weed if only you were fortunate enought to become president, then fuck off. He is distracting people that could otherwise use their own energy and efforts in a far better way to accomplish what they want. Just my opinion though I guess.
8182KSKUSH Reviewed by 8182KSKUSH on . To the Ron Paul haters Why do you hate Ron Paul so much? And, also who are you voting for? Why? It seems like the people that hate Ron Paul have a lot of negative things to say, pointing out problems, but never have any solutions. Also, for some reason, the people that hate Ron Paul are so antagonistic, and I have no idea why. Rating: 5
