To the Ron Paul haters

[8182KSKUSH]

8182KSKUSH - I hope that any true and knowledgeable Paul supporter will tell you that he won't be able to simply "rub his hands together" and then weed will be legal.

A very few have actually tried to explain what he "may" do, but the vast majority of Paul supporters can't. No offense to you, but one of the biggest problems with Ron Pauls campaign is that it is almost entirely made up of people that are just "fanatics" and if you ask them anything that deviates from the Paul talking points they are lost. You, Zimzum, Angry Nomad, and a few others clearly understand his political positions, but Paul is dependant on "uninformed fanatics" that make up his base. That is just my opinion of what Ron Paul is doing, not trying to bad mouth any supporters here. Please don't take offense, I am trying to make a point about "how" Ron Paul conducts himself not about members of this forum.

What he promises is to limit the federal government and to restore the rights of the citizens in your own state. This is also how he feels about ABORTION which many people see as a major issue. He doesn't want to run your country he wants to let YOU run YOUR country, and that's what i like so much about him. At this point in our "democratic" nation we as individual citizens have lost our voice in big government and he plans to restore the power of authority to the states government in which case people within their own state can come together and choose what they want and don't want to be legal. And if you live in a state that (the majority) doesn't agree with your own personal opinions there will more than likely be a state that you can move to that honors those values.

Could not agree with you and Paul more on these political positions, however when you choose who you vote for for president, 1 key factor is, CAN THEY GET IT DONE, as Rusty has pointed out, and even by Paul's own admission, he likely could not. Why vote for him if he can't actually DO the things he talks about? Those are really fundamental conservative values.

Honestly though... i don't even see weed legalization or abortion as an urgent topic of discussion.

You are in the minority of Paul supporters my friend! I bet if we started a poll here saying "why do you support Ron Paul" the and listed 4 choices and 1 of them was "he will legalize weed" you would see what I am talking about.

I think what is most important at this point is the status of our economy which government spending and raising taxes won't fix. Personally i don't know how anybody could vote for anyone else just for the simple fact of our economy. When it comes down to it all of the other candidates are just talking jibberish if they're not addressing the real problem which is our economy. It all comes down to the all mighty dollar. Without restoring our economy health care and social security promises are simply a joke because our economy cannot withstand either program. Unless of course you want your income taxes raised %110 or you would like lots of government spending and inflation and our dollar to only be worth 1/2 a Peso! haha :rastasmoke:

Also when it comes down to it we cannot prosper as a country until we get out of a war that we never should have went into and we cannot financially continue the empire building and policing of the world. Eventually whether you believe in karma or not, this will come back to bite us in the ass... it's the blowback affect.
PEACE and i hope this informed some of the misinformed :hippy:

And this would be where you lose me, sorry! This is the part of the Ron Paul dogma that I disagree with, not in total, but in premise. Things aren't as bad as he thinks, and they aren't as bad as what he is telling people to believe. This is where he joins the Hate America crowd. And his stance on the war is waay out there. Although I agree with him that we should not interfere with Isreal and allow them to handle some shit as I know they could and would have already. But I don't believe much else he has to offer on the topic.:thumbsup:
