@ThisIsLi

If Paul follows his deepest of convictions, I don't think he would have the power as president to do anything drastic on any of these fronts we are squabbling about, and any damage he might do is vastly outweighed by the damage he -wouldn't do- by not being a nuke-happy maniac, not to mention how much safer we would all be from tyranny if our liberties were rewound to even Y2K levels, let alone the pre-drug war levels Paul seems to be talking about. How about striking down all of those over the top executive orders Bush has been writing? Paul is the only one to even mention them, let alone promise rescinding them.

I don't think he would either, but...

You see, this is Salon, Home of the Wedge Issue, where you play Divide and Conquer with every card in the deck.

For example...

66 Pages. How many pages are about the Dollar? Something that he is running on.

And if he uses his Veto power? So what? At least the Congress might have a chance at being considered relevant.

Ron Paul's take on the "creepy white supremacists" donors...

Here, from the Reason blog:

http://reason.com/blog/show/123347.html

I asked Bydlak about attention the campaign is getting from creepy white supremacists, and whether if they discovered donations from specious people they'd give them back. "If people who hold views that the candidate doesn't agree with, and they give to us, that's their loss," he said. What if the campaign keeps getting scrutiny as its coffers grow? "The scrutiny is a perfect sign of how this campaign is growing."

There ya go. Still up for climbing the molehill?

Ahh, 200 more comments worth of half-baked RP conspiracies

More Ron Paul conspiracies about how terrible he will make everything and more alarmist emotional nonsense.

Nobody on here can prove anything regarding how much better or worse Paul would make the US, it is all just speculation and rumor, spread by a bunch of people upset about something they heard regarding Paul and their favorite wedge issue.

Keep making your baseless emotional pleas though about how scary old man Paul (a 72 year old doctor) is coming to take away your Abortions, entitlements, and the indoctrination centers we call public schools. It is entertaining to read these scenarios though, as ridiculous as they are.

prove it.

Ron Paul as president WILL BE dramatically worse and more destructive than Bush/Cheney, and they have been markedly malignant.

Prove it.

That's right, you can't prove anything, all you can do is tell everyone that the sky is falling and hope that they believe you. All you have are ridiculous statements like that one and baseless horror stories. Capital letters and emotional appeals don't make your opinions true.

I love how butthurt the true believers are the GG covered RP

WHAA WHAA.

HAHAHA.

Keep it up. I love how butthurt you all are over RP. You all hang out in the comment section of GG's blog and talk shit about RP for months every time he is brought up, call him and his supporters names, etc. Then you're golden boy GG goes off and gives RP good ink.

You poor things.

The highest praise you can give a troll

It to evoke its name.

I'm flattered. I love you all.

Thanks for the support. I'd also like to thank my goat for always being there for me.

Quick question

I have a question. My goat is trying to get a comment on its blog and was wondering where it could get a cliche montage composed of a trippy picture of the Mandelbrot set as the background, with a middle-aged balding Starbucks hipster rocking out on a telecaster.

Can anyone help me out with that? My goat REALLY wants a comment on its blog and I heard that a montage like that helps.

Oh wait... nevermind... *gasp* it doesn't help! It doesn't help at all!

Every candidate attracts assholes

Hey bud, you were the one who wanted to "go there". But hey, I guess I "coundn't resist" either.

Welcome to the Internet, a mysterious place where one person talks trash about someone else, and to everyone's surprise, the targeted person responds.

Amazing times we're living in.

I've been playing World of Warcraft on my PC for over two years, and that is all that really matters.

lol @ Crockwell

Like I said, it must really chap "Anon"'s ass to see his Golden Boy GG give Paul some good ink, especially after all of the shit talking he and his arrogant little gang of political-know-it-alls have done in this little comment section when anyone mentions Paul's campaign.

Then their golden decides to gives Ron Paul some good ink. Awesome.

You all are so smart and so impressive when it comes to your knowledge of politics. Except that you ain't. So smart, but yet even after all of your hubris, none of you supersmrt know-it-all uber politik doodz were able to see any of this coming.

But yet, here you are, still predicting the future and telling all of the ignorant nobodies like me, "how it is", why you are right and I am a "moron", and "what the future holds".
