    How about I turn every Ron Paul thread into a debate about mathematics, like this one http://forums.pearljam.com/showthread.php?t=269127&page=5

    How did we get from Libertarian policies to Euclidian Geometry and Einstein's String Theory?
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    I have no idea and it got too far gone to reel it back in.

    Plus would American's really elect a guy whose title would be President Paul, it sounds like when you go to a chiropractor or a dentist and since they know they are not a full MD they call themselves Doctor Bobby or something.

    but the more hype ron paul gets, the more votes he'll suck away from other GOP candidates.



    It's payback time!

    i think i am officially in ron paul shock.

    i like the guy and all, but i like biden better (even though he's out) and you don't see me posting 34 joe biden threads a week. i don't think he even had 34 threads total in the last year.

    Agreed lets talk about war strategy and getting f-ed in the ass by govt instead.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I'm confused. Is he running as an independent?

    If RP was more pro war he'd get a better following.

    He's to soft on the war stance, and a lot of people don't like that.

    Id say thats totally incorrect. His "stance" on the war is anything but "soft."

    He has been pretty straight forward and "hard"line in what his beliefs regarding the war is.



    Count on Roland to make me veer from my original intention when i read a thread....

    and that is... This is by far Commy's best post ever.

    Just come home...pull all the roops out everywhere in every country.

    Sounds like a really tough war stance to me.

    umm...so what was your original intention? (seeing as you seem to be wanting to be asked).

    His "stance" is pretty hard. It has not wavered and has been solid from the beginning.

    and my original point i made... This thread is commy's best ever.

    He doesn't exude that sentiment at all. I think if you polled the average American, few to none would see what you're saying.

    Why should people stop talking about one of the most controversial candidates in a very long time?

    I don't get it. So what if someone doesn't like the guy? Don't click...not exactly a very difficult decision.

    I could care less about what color of jelly beans people prefer, it doesn't make me want to encourage them to change colors if they don't like mine in particular.

    Why should someone else? and why do you support them is perhaps a better question.

    That's why I asked what your real intentions were.
