Ron Paul Hasn't Read the Constitution!
Posted by Frank J. at 12:09 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (113)

I saw Ron Paul at a rally the other day, and he was all talking about how important it is to follow the Constitution, but where he finally cited something from the Constitution, he said, "The Constitution clearly states that hitting your ball into a water hazard is a one stroke penalty!"

That's not the Constitution! This whole time he must have read the official rule for golf and thought it was the Constitution! All of his supporters just cheered, though, but maybe they didn't hear him because they were wearing underwear on their heads.

I can't believe a whole one percent of people want to vote for Ron Paul. Those are crazy people.

Haha, I wonder how many bots will post here today?

#2 - Posted by: FakeRonPaul on November 9, 2007 12:38 PM

Maybe they support him because of his successful lawmaking and leadership skills:

"Ronald Paul has sponsored 343 bills since Jan 7, 1997, of which 338 haven't made it out of committee and 0 were successfully enacted."

Nah, its gotta be the underwear on the head thing.

#3 - Posted by: Robert on November 9, 2007 12:48 PM

Frank J, thanks for sharing. I'm a completely brainwashed moron and follower of neo-conservative preemptive war theory and therefore I find your writing utterly fascinating. I will be supporting Rudy, mainly because he dresses up like women quite often but doesn't wear his little pink panties on his head.

#4 - Posted by: Doofus Magnum on November 9, 2007 12:50 PM

I guess traffic was low so he had to mention Ron Paul.

#5 - Posted by: John Campbell on November 9, 2007 12:52 PM

doofus for veep

#6 - Posted by: southener on November 9, 2007 12:53 PM

It's funny, but even when they try to be all "I'm smarter than you", they mess it up.
Hey Doofus, you might want to check out the site. It's Fred!town around here.

I can't believe a whole one percent of people want to vote for Ron Paul.

One percent of me wants to vote for him everyday, then I flush.

#7 - Posted by: Veeshir on November 9, 2007 12:54 PM

I support Mitt Romney because he's a republican from Taxachusetts and the GOP should support liberalism always. I hate Ron Paul because he's conservative and is voted the tax payer's best friend year after year. Low taxation has never been a plank of our grand old party. Like Mitt, we republicans believe in high taxes, tons of abortions and extremely wasteful fiscal policy. To that guy who said Rudy wears dresses, why are you intolerant? We have lots of gays in the GOP and we're damn proud of them. You must be crazy like Ron Paul and bots (the ones that broke singal day record for contributing to a GOP candidate)...psst, they're not real people...it's a computer program that prints fake money and sends it to that crazy believer in the stupid Constitution.

#8 - Posted by: W Bush is way cool on November 9, 2007 12:58 PM

I guess John Campbell was low on intelligence and decided to troll.

#9 - Posted by: Master Shake on November 9, 2007 01:01 PM

Geeeeze...even their sarcasm is boilerplate.

- Neocon reference: check
- Preemtive war: check
- Slam another candidate with a strawman: check
- Mention the single day contribution record: check

#10 - Posted by: FormerHostage on November 9, 2007 01:08 PM

Very funny.. but the reality is, I highly doubt you saw Ron Paul at a rally. You're just trying to drum up a little traffic here. I'm guessing you're about 20 and plays video games 30 hours a week. But..LOL..being a golfer, I think its still funny. I'm going to bring my pocket Constitution with me next time I go golfing..and pull it out every time I take a mulligan. Article 12-4 says that mulligans can be used by amateur golfers ANYTIME I hit a bad shot!!

#11 - Posted by: Bob on November 9, 2007 01:08 PM

When I think of Ron Paul, I am reminded of this guy

When I think of Ron Paul, I touch myself.

#13 - Posted by: Not a Ron Paul Troll on November 9, 2007 01:14 PM

I support Ron Paul because he's a libertarian and the GOP should support libertarianism always. I hate all real republicans because they are conservative and refuse to legalize pot year after year. Drug legalization has always been a plank of our grand old party. We republicans believe in isolationism, hating joooos, and conspiracy theories. To that guy who said Ron Paul is loved by neo-nazis and troofers, why are you intolerant? We have lots of america-hating loons in our version of the GOP and we're damn proud of them. You must be crazy like Fred Thompson and actual humans (the ones that didn't break the single day record for contributing to a GOP candidate by accepting money from neo-nazis, troofers, and credit card thieves)...psst, they're not bots...it's a bunch of productive people who actually earn their money, rather than taking welfare and living in their parents' garage with the car, and send it to that crazy believer in America.

#14 - Posted by: R Paul is way cool on November 9, 2007 01:14 PM

Great job Frank! That Ron Paul is so crazy.

We need patriots like you over at the master forum.

#17 - Posted by: Not a Ron Paul Troll on November 9, 2007 01:20 PM

Paulbearers probably havn't read the constitution themselves. Too much higher thought for their tiny brains.

#18 - Posted by: Pantera on November 9, 2007 01:24 PM

Reality is all about celebs on TV. Therefore anyone truly grounded in reality would obviously love Fred Thompson. His policies, the ones from Law and Order, are rock solid. The way he puts Sam Waterston in his place speaks to the kind of nominee he's make before losing to Hillary.

But I have a question for FormerHostage, why are reciting Dr. Paul's frickin' credits man?! We're supposed to be bashing him for loving the Constitution here, which you and I clearly hate and think should be destroyed or at the very least ignored. Stop preaching for Ron Paul! Stop implying that Ron Paul should be obsessed over! That's only hurting our cause of having either Me or Mitt or Judy nominated so Hillary can ultimately win. I'm so tired of Paul-bots talking about the Constitution which had nothing to do with the founding of this country. Don't they know their history!?!?!

#19 - Posted by: Fred Thompson on November 9, 2007 01:26 PM

Apparently, they think that we're as stupid as they are.

#20 - Posted by: Master Shake on November 9, 2007 01:26 PM

#21 - Posted by: Slice D on November 9, 2007 01:29 PM

Would that be the Constitution that they love at Stormfront, the Constitution that says to cower in our basements while waiting for nutjobs to come here and destroy us, the Constitution that ignores actual evidence and science, the Constitution that says spammed internet polls are valid election returns, or the Constitution that says tjat living in your parents' basement and wallowing in your own filth while trolling sites populated by your betters is "kewl"?

#22 - Posted by: Master Shake on November 9, 2007 01:32 PM

No Master Shake...it think it's because English is their second language.

Is it just me, or have the Paul supporters here tried to reform their arguments into really twisted, meaningless sarcasm? WTF?

#24 - Posted by: Jimmy on November 9, 2007 01:35 PM

#15: I love the fake websites that you honest lovers of freedom and liberty have set up. Is that how you stole the credit card information used to make all of those donations to Ron Paul?

Troll #19:

Fred! was a prosecutor before he became an actor and our greatest President was an actor.

Heck, if you think about it (slowly so as not to hurt yourself), you're here acting like a rational person.

#26 - Posted by: Not a Ron Paul Troll on November 9, 2007 01:39 PM

Hey Master Shake and Veeshir,

can you all keep slapping these trolls while I'm gone? I had Schezuan last night and I have to go vote for Ron Paul.

#27 - Posted by: FormerHostage on November 9, 2007 01:42 PM

Ron Reagan the greatest president ever? A bit of a stretch from some neo-couch potatoes. But sure, if one actor was an ok prez, then that means anyone from TV would be good too. I nominate the fat kid from What's Happening!

"I can't believe a whole one percent of people want to vote for Ron Paul. Those are crazy people."

Yes, that is surprising since the rate of serious mental illness is higher in the general population. Perhaps more studies are required to determine the exact nature of their illness. In the mean time, having them talk it out with someone outside their basements is highly recommended. Fortunately, they have places like IMAO to come to.

Jonathan,
so what you're saying is that problem isn't with Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich's ideas, but with the rest of Congress?

I do agree though that it's more than 1%..probably around 1.4% Practically a juggernaut!!!!

#42 - Posted by: on November 9, 2007 02:22 PM

Oh, it's more than 1%, you'll find that out soon enough.

Ooooooh, we're soooooo scared! Is that why you Paulestinians court Stormfront (aside from just hating Joooos, that is)? Because you think it will make your threats really scary?






BOO!!!1!1!!11!!

(Now that's scary - you Paulestinians probably just wet yourselves.)

#43 - Posted by: Master Shake on November 9, 2007 02:25 PM

Dear God, this is beautiful... I almost wish that the primaries wouldn't come, because once they're gone (along with Ron Paul), we won't have nearly the amount of trolls to bait. Either that, or one day they'll get their heads out of their collective rear ends and realize what losers they are. Idjits, all!

First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you hide in mommy's basement, then you set up fake candidate web sites, then you spam internet polls, then you send spam e-mails, then you commit credit card fraud, then you declare victory, then the real world intrudes and you come in last, then you go back to supporting the Democrat you actually supported all along.

#46 - Posted by: Master Shake on November 9, 2007 02:32 PM

You know I'm kinda like Ninjafluff #44. I stop by here every day just to see the Ronulan bashing. It makes my day.
Oh and Rino Hunter #12. I take great offense to you comparing Barney Fife with Ron Paul.
Barney Fife had more sense in his little finger than Ron Paul has in his whole body. At least he never put underpants on his head!!

#47 - Posted by: cata53 on November 9, 2007 02:36 PM

Probably not "petting the cat in his lap" the way you intended it, but yes, I can totally believe that is what he was doing while writing that. They generally seem to be...uh..."worked up"...when they write about Ron Paul, Saviour of the Infinite Multiverse and the Constitution Thereof.

#48 - Posted by: Master Shake on November 9, 2007 02:37 PM

Hmmmm...typing one handed...that would explain their typos wouldn't it.

#49 - Posted by: FormerHostage on November 9, 2007 02:42 PM

#41 has a point. If someone chooses 'other' or 'undecided' in a poll, it must mean Ron Paul. And the other one, it's on a Ron Paul site, so it MUST be true. I don't know what I was thinking. There clearly are a majority of people voting for Ron Paul. Maybe I should jump on the bandwagon too so he doesn't feed me to his crazed followers when he gets into office.

#54 - Posted by: Pinky on November 9, 2007 02:55 PM

Hey Shake,

do you think that the old wives' tale about "petting the cat" too much making your brain soft is true and this explains the Paulbearer rhetoric? Or do you think that it's just a run of the mill Cognitive Disorder?

"so what you're saying is that problem isn't with Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich's ideas, but with the rest of Congress?

-Well I don't really like Socialism, so, I don't keep up with Kucinich, but Ron Paul's ideas are the same one's that made this nation free. At that time, only 3% of the population even cared to be free. We "Paulaspeicpkjklsjfifnakkldssssites" are part of that 3%. I guess you guys/girls are part of the 97% that just don't get it. I guess there is a certain happiness in being ignorant. I know I'm ignorant about some things, but certainly not about our Constitution or our current/future economic situation.

3% of the population can do great things in a Presidential Primary. Just how many registered voters even care to vote in the primaries? Not that many. Plus the unconstitutional war vote will be split by several "candidates", so, good luck guys! That 3% may turn in to 20+%, and that would put Ron Paul on top. mwahaahaahaa ha ha ha!!(did I spell that correctly?)

#56 - Posted by: on November 9, 2007 03:11 PM

I am surprised that Ron Paul wins all the straw polls and all the internet polls, and yet manages to lose all the more scientific polls. I think science is out to get Ron Paul. Science and math are colluding against Paul. That's why he wins the straw polls and internet polls, because whenever polls are run by non-scientists there is no inherent bias.

Hey Shake,
Since the 16th Amendment was legally ratified, how do you suppose he'll abolish the IRS? I mean, I don't like traffic on my drive home but just saying "I abolish thee" wouldn't make it go away. Ron Paul is the guardian of the Constitution so he'd do it legally...but how?

#68 - Posted by: FormerHostage on November 9, 2007 03:28 PM

#69 - Posted by: Jonathan on November 9, 2007 03:32 PM

Jonathan, unless you're a Democrat, software to spoof IP addresses and spam internet polls cannot vote in primaries, either.

#70 - Posted by: Master Shake on November 9, 2007 03:35 PM

Exclusive - New Jersey’s top Conservative state legislator, Republican Assemblyman Michael J. Doherty (R) is set to endorse Ron Paul Saturday during Paul’s Liberty Rally at Independence Mall in Philadelphia PA.

Doherty’s endorsement will be the first high profile endorsement of Ron Paul from an elected official in the Garden State.

Doherty’s name often gets bantered about as a potential gubernatorial or U.S. senate candidate among conservative activists in the state. The endorsement may have influence among Social and Fiscal Conservatives in New Jersey’s GOP primary this February.

Doherty has a strong pro-life record and has never voted for a tax increase. The assemblyman is a top vote earner among Conservatives and Moderates in his district and is known for his defense of the Bill of Rights.

It should also be noted that Doherty is a West Point graduate and his endorsement of Ron Paul may be seen as further evidence that Ron Paul has growing support among those with military backgrounds.

#71 - Posted by: Oh No! on November 9, 2007 03:37 PM

I like all of the Democratic candidates (including Ron Paul) running against President Bush, but I don't think that any of them can defeat him in the next election.

#72 - Posted by: Robert on November 9, 2007 03:38 PM

Ronald Reagan once said that libertarianism is "the very heart and soul of conservatism" (Reagan was great at communicating the princples of limited government, if less great at actually implementing them). Of all the candidates so far declared, only Paul can credibly lay claim to the legacy of the Reagan-Goldwater revolution. How well he does, how long he lasts, and who ends up defeating him will reveal whether there's any limited government allegiance at all still stirring the Republican Party.

Easy, the amendment process is unconstitutional because more than 3% of the population agreed to it. Those 97-percenters were fools not to see the greatness of Ron Paul...oops...the original Constitution as written. Shame about the first ten amendments having to go as well, but those geniuses in the 3% will give us something better, I'm sure.

#74 - Posted by: Master Shake on November 9, 2007 03:41 PM

Chris, I can't grow facial hair(because of the fan incident), but I've got mean back hair!!

Congress would have to repeal the sixteenth amendment, silly. Ron Paul wouldn't be King. Although he could do like Downhome George and Wet Crotch Clinton, and write an executive order, or a thousand of them. One abolishing the IRS. He could just get Congress to give him the authority to do whatever HE saw necessary. What a great system of checks and balances we would have!

#75 - Posted by: on November 9, 2007 03:41 PM

I think Jonathan answered both the question I asked in #55 and where that 1% number comes from (see the "Prevalence" section). It looks like he was right and we might see that number go up to 16%.

#76 - Posted by: FormerHostage on November 9, 2007 03:41 PM

Yep, I remember when Reagan said "screw you guys, I'm going home," then brought all of our armed forces back to the U.S. mainland, and told us to bury our heads in the sand, thus causing the collapse of the Soviet Union. That libertarian foreign policy he followed was pure genius!

Huh? What do you mean that's not how it happened?

#77 - Posted by: Master Shake on November 9, 2007 03:45 PM

I wonder how Ron Paul feels about this? I think he thought he could control the nutroots and bend them to his will, but they were just too crazy and escaped his control leaving him weak and despised.

Much like what happened to Howard Dean. I think the lesson is, only use the netroots to pander to, don't actually depend on them.

Well guys, this has been fun but I have things to do.

Jonathan, thanks for playing. Sorry that we don't have the IMAO Home Version to give you but we will give you all the honor and respect that you deserve. I have to admit that for a PaulBot you were pretty calm...clueless as all get-out...but calm. Good on you mate.

#79 - Posted by: FormerHostage on November 9, 2007 03:50 PM

"Jonathan, unless you're a Democrat, software to spoof IP addresses and spam internet polls cannot vote in primaries, either."

Shake, I told you, I don't care for Socialism. And I have no idea what you're talking about. I haven't mention internet polls or spamming or spoofing. So, help me out. Why are you directing the post toward me?

Ha ha! JustAHostage is great! I'm actually quite healthy... seriously... you guys believe me, right? Oh my God, what's happening. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

No, really, I haven't been to a doctor in years, tip-top shape. I certainly haven't seen a mental doctor in while, not since the I saw the movie, "Bowling for Columbine".

#80 - Posted by: Jonathan on November 9, 2007 03:52 PM

Thanks guys! It was fun. Enjoy voting for the same old crap, and hope this empire stays afloat! I love this country! And I love you!

#81 - Posted by: Jonathan on November 9, 2007 03:55 PM

Jonathan, if you can't be bothered to read what you write, I certainly can't be bothered to retype it for you.

#82 - Posted by: Master Shake on November 9, 2007 03:58 PM

Shake, I am retarded, remember. Help me out. Where did I mention internet polls? What comment was it? I did mention the Primaries, but not spamming or spoofing or whatever you are talking about. Look, you've got a cool name, so, I'll let it slide... This time, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! It might have been one of those other Paulbots' posts or something. We all type the same, cause we were programed to do so.

#83 - Posted by: Jonathan on November 9, 2007 04:04 PM

Thought you were leaving. I guess we can add masochism to the list of mental disorders we've seen today.

Here's a hint - your fervent belief that Ron Paul will win the primaries despite the results of scientific polls (as in actual science, insofar as polling can be considered science, not "fire has never melted steel" internet-poll science). Voting multiple times and/or voting by computer is only allowed if it will elect Democrats, so good luck converting those 200% Ron Paul internet poll victories into actual votes.

#84 - Posted by: Master Shake on November 9, 2007 04:12 PM

Someone [-Ed?] should put up a internet poll that includes Ron Paul, but doesn't count votes for Ron Paul.

Then just sit back and watch the bots go crazy!

#85 - Posted by: conman on November 9, 2007 04:22 PM

"...but doesn't count votes for Ron Paul."

Either that or have the question read something like: "Who's the best hope for America?" on the poll but on the results page change it to: "Who ate the most paint chips when they were young?"

#86 - Posted by: on November 9, 2007 04:25 PM

"But what the poll really wanted to know was who your favorite candidate was to lose, so with zero votes, Ron Paul WON!!!!11!111!"

#87 - Posted by: Master Shake on November 9, 2007 04:27 PM

Are you saying that Ron Paul has stopped eating paint chips?

#88 - Posted by: conman on November 9, 2007 04:28 PM

I did leave, but I see you posted something with my name in it, so, it's good that I came back.

The "scientific" polls have lost credibility. There are various factors to consider when examining poll results. Simply looking at the outcome without checking the factors is stupid. You should ask yourself, how many people were called? How did they contact them? How were the questions phrased? What were the choices? Polls can be skewed, yes, even "scientific" polls. Just like internet polls can be skewed(by fervent supporters or apathetic people that don't participate in the polls). If you look at the various factors involved in these "scientific" polls, you will find that they are quite skewed. Trusting in those polls, or the internet polls, is like putting your faith in the US Dollar. I don't look at the polls, I look at the true amount of support that Ron Paul has, and the increasing daily support that he is receiving. Also, I look at the lack of true support for the remaining Fascists in the Republican field. Ron Paul will win. Get over it. Frylock is way cooler!

#89 - Posted by: Jonathan on November 9, 2007 04:30 PM

"The zero was invented by Muslims, so it is most favored by Allah, as is Ron Paul, which is why he had zero votes."

"Paul'lahu Akbar!"

#90 - Posted by: Ron Paul al Pittsburgh on November 9, 2007 04:34 PM

I don't look at the polls, I look at the true amount of support that Ron Paul has, and the increasing daily support that he is receiving.

As measured by what? "I don't know anyone personally who doesn't support Ron Paul"? Internet polls? Sockpuppet posts on fake message boards? Visual hallucinations caused by illicit drug use?

Yes, we're all "fascists" since we don't support the One True Saviour, Ron Paul. At least you lot are consistent. If you don't like my nickname, just use the one another thoughtful, peace-loving Ron Paul supporter was generous enough to give me: "Judas backstabbing scumbag gestapo pig".

#91 - Posted by: Master Shake on November 9, 2007 04:39 PM

Thank God its Friday! I plan on being attacked by conservatives as soon as I het home. With any luck the attack will last til Sunday! With any luck Ron Paul will show up with Johnnie Walker.

#92 - Posted by: Clay S. on November 9, 2007 04:52 PM

Oh Jesus, I may have already been attacked, I just used "with any luck" twice in the same post.

#93 - Posted by: Clay S. on November 9, 2007 04:53 PM

Well, I didn't call you a fascist, I called the rest of the Republican candidates fascist. Geez, talk about visual hallucinations. I call them fascist because they support corporatism. And I do like your nickname, I just think Frilock is a cooler character, that's all. Stop being defensive. And unless you betrayed Jesus(you would be pretty old if you did.), I'm not gonna call you Judas. I personally see support in my home town, that's all I can really speak about. I'm on the streets doing grassroots work, going door to door, spamming peoples houses with my eight clones. Sorry, to post so much on your site, assuming you are the owner. We Paulnons are excited about our candidate, more importantly, his message. The one true savior is Jesus. Paul simply wants his government to obey their oath of office. Not too much to ask. Take care ya'll. See you on the other side!

#94 - Posted by: Jonathan on November 9, 2007 04:59 PM

Frank, per Ron Paul via Jonathan, I now own this site. Please give me the keys and vacate my property immediately!

#95 - Posted by: Master Shake on November 9, 2007 05:07 PM

Johnathon seems like a nice kid.
He probably just got in with the wrong crowd and that's why he's supporting pRon.

#96 - Posted by: spacemonkey on November 9, 2007 05:10 PM

1) Fervent, religious-like belief in Ron Paul winning.

2) ???

3) Profit!

#97 - Posted by: Master Shake on November 9, 2007 05:19 PM

Ron Paul would make a lousy anti-christ.

My brother, Dennis, on the other hand, would be swell.

#98 - Posted by: Gary Kucinich on November 9, 2007 06:11 PM

You know what would be funny. Having a poll to see what's the better rifle, the m-16, the m-4 or Ron Paul. And then watch Ron Paul win.
Come to think of it, you could do that with just about anything.

#99 - Posted by: Pantera on November 9, 2007 07:09 PM

#100 Yay!

#100 - Posted by: on November 9, 2007 07:14 PM

Remember, if someone doesn't agree with you, or you don't agree with them, it's obviously because they're fascist.

I have an idea: Let's get a debate between Robble Robble Robble Paul & Fred! Thompson. Better yet, I suggest a cage match. Robble can even bring brass knuckles if he wants so that he can make up for the brass balls that Thompson has. Seriously, as it was, most people in Congress didn't even know he was a congressman himself; they just thought he was someone's squeaky li'l secretary. Or possibly the guy who modeled for Gerber baby food jars all grown up.

I'll tell you what, Pauldroids: When Robble Robble Robble doesn't even get the nod from the GOP- much less the presidency- feel free to come back here & tell us how it was a Neo-Con ploy that kept him from getting elected. When you get it all out, you can finally get over your loss & get back to asking, "Ya want fries wit' dat?"

#101 - Posted by: AlanABQ on November 9, 2007 07:52 PM

You're so right Jonathan. Those whacky scientists and pollsters know nothing. Everyone knows that scientists and pollsters are in the pocket of math and science. Math and science whisper to them and they bounce around like puppets on a string. And we all know that science hates Ron Paul, so that's a bias right there.
You can only measure a candidates ability to succeed by the number of folks who will vote multiple times on internet polls. After all, I'm truly voting for me, myself, I, my hamster Charlie, AND my six year old, aren't I? Why not pull out all the stops and vote for my neighbors' kids, too? And their neighbors' kids, too? That way you can get a true feel for the popularity of your favorite candidate. Wasn't it Huey Long who said, "Vote early, and vote often."

#102 - Posted by: carolynp on November 9, 2007 08:16 PM

Cave Troll is tired of Ron Paul supporters. Vote for Cave Troll, and Cave Troll will crush Ron Paul supporters with big rock.

I hate Ron Paul, and his geeky band of lunatic followers, but something has always bothered me...

How the F*CK is this guy from Texas?

#105 - Posted by: G8r on November 9, 2007 09:12 PM

You want to know what is wrong. The patriot act. With the patriot act in effect the bill of rights is out the window.

Ron Paul Is for what is right. He is honest, he cares about the people, wants to stop inflation. I could go on forever but hey if you don't like Ron Paul that is fine. Just look at what he voted for and what he stands for.

#106 - Posted by: jess on November 9, 2007 10:59 PM

Cave Troll concurs that jess could go on forever. That is why Cave Troll had to crush jess with big rock. No jury in the world will convict Cave Troll because Cave Troll is for what is right.

#107 - Posted by: Cave Troll 2008 on November 9, 2007 11:30 PM

"How the F*CK is this guy from Texas?" you ask? Well in Texas we have a long tradition of electing insane people to public office where they can do the least harm. Can you imagine the danger of putting an insane person to work in an oil field? Can you imagine the harm an insane person can do on a cattle ranch? Since Ron Paul has had zero success effecting any of his insane ideas in congress, I think our Texas tradition is working. Plus he spends a lot of time out of the state!

Do not be afraid; if Ron Paul is elected President of the United States, he won't get any more accomplished in that job than he has as a Congressman. Ron Paul's legacy of non-accomplishment would rival that of Calvin Coolidge.

#108 - Posted by: klrtz1 on November 10, 2007 02:51 PM

Wait, Coolidge didn't have any nuclear missiles. So maybe you should be afraid.

#109 - Posted by: klrtz1 on November 10, 2007 03:02 PM

voting is not scientific. The polls are useless.

How come you IMAO kids aren't fighting the good war in Iraq? I would think you'd be gung-ho to get off the couch and spend several years of your life over there fighting for American colonial expansion (oops, I meant bringing freedom to the rest of the world). If not that, aren't you pissed off at all about your fellow GOP raising taxes left and right? Do you really love Big Goverment? Do you even know what you stand for? It's one thing to kiss Fred Thompson's ring because he's a mediocre actor on TV, it's another thing to know why you're a republican in the first place. Hate Hillary, please, but don't turn around and be her. Do you really think it's a coincidence that Bill Clinton and H.W. Bush hang out these days? They're practically inseperable these days. My opinion is that they're all cowards (not unlike your dress-wearing hero Rudy). But then again, they're all draft-dodgers anyway. Ofcourse crazy Ron Paul was a flight-surgeon in Vietnam and has balls the size of church-bells but you modern day red blooded conservative types prefer leaders who sit behind a desk and use lies and media distortions to get other people to fight and die for their empty cause. Anyway, booyah bros!

PS. Fred has no chance. He's numbers are already fading like his lame acting career. Dr. Ron Paul is 2008...the only republican who can beat the Bush family's close personal friend, Hillary.
