typical generalization of the economy.

and yeah, i could have went without the Republican Revolution thing. I view Dems and Repubs as exactly the same. Neither give a damn about actual liberty.

And viewing them the same is a problem I have with Ron Paul supporters/libertarians. They act as though they are outside the system, but their views only exists in theory. Therefore this leads to the aloof, condescending tone that often comes through. You'll actually find dems and repubs valuing liberty, but going about it differently.

i guess we have different ideas of what liberty is then.

these are some additional things i am saying as a non paul voter.

27. i will never vote for a republican, even if jesus christ came back and ran in 2016.

28. i will never vote for the man who spawned rand paul.

29. i will never vote for someone who is pro-life.

30. i will never vote for another texan in any race at any time in my life.

31. i will never vote for someone who will never ever consider raising taxes when necessary. shit happens sometimes and we might need that increased revenue.

32. i will never vote for a man who is more concerned about freedom vs. tyranny than doing the right thing.

33. i will never vote for someone who champions state's rights over everything else.

34. i will never vote for a man who will cut medicare, medicaid, or any other publicly funded program that is there as a safety net to help the elderly, infirmed, or less fortunate.

those are just a few off the top of my head that i did not put much effort into.. i am sure if it were worthwhile to me i could come up with more, but i am pretty much just over the know it all, condescending tone of the blogger who came up with that list....talk about generalizations and shoveling words into peoples' mouths.... sheesh...

This is the perfect summary of my problem with the average voter.

that is solely because as much as everyone bitches about change...no one wants any...They all want to pretend it is only the other side that needs to change...
Paul could be President. Absolutely could...it is just a matter of delegates man. If no one has any majority going to the convention things will change quickly...hopefully I will be at the national convention, but I will go as far as a can to support Ron Paul in MN as a delegate (we actually have 4 meetings to do this) and the change he actually represents...
you aren't bursting my bubble, I feel good about supporting a candidate that I feel would benefit the country greatly, win or lose...stranger things have happened...I mean GW got a second term...if that can happen anything can.
as far as the Maine stuff

why don't we wait until the other 16% are counted. They will be counted whether it is official or not. My guess is he will end up with almost all the delegates from Maine no matter what

Was almost like it was a joke, but it's not.

After reading these, I think I officially confirmed who the biggest kool-aid drinker in the entire MT is. I can't say I'm really that surprised based on previous posts praising everything Democrats do. Anyways... congrats,.. that's quite an accomplishment.

I'd be careful using a kool-aid reference in a Ron Paul thread. If anyone's supporters could be accused of cult-like behavior, it would be his.

What I meant by kool-aid drinker is someone with an unquestioning belief in a political party's ideology.

So, difference is - Ron Paul supporters don't toe the party line whatsoever. Most of them are either former Republicans or former Democrats who are/were disenchanted with their former party. In that very sense, it runs completely counter to being a kool-aid drinker. These supporters are people who basically abandoned their former ideology (or party), in favor of a new one.

More on the subject. At the end of the segment with the video of one of the GOP Chairmen from Maine is very telling if you ask me.

So tell me why isnt the man (Ron Paul) running as an Independent then? Or on another ticket not supported by either party?

Just sayin.

he is the only true republican left. the rest should leave and form their own party. They can call it the fiddling Nero's

the immortal words of Michael Bolton seem fitting here..."why should I have to change...he's the one who sucks"
