Ron Paul 2008

Ron Paul is a badass. In 2008, Ron Paul is running for president. He's the best in line, and though his chances of winning are <1%, he still deserves everybody's vote.

Ron Paul is a Libertarian who strongly supports what the Constitution stands for. He's no neo-Conservative fuck that feigns the elephant ethic. This guy is what Republicans should be. Not only does he know what he's talking about and means what he says, but he knows how to say it. You won't catch this guy tripping over his own comments or retracting statements.

This guy has the right idea about things: Fuck the IRS, fuck big-time taxes, fuck abortion, fuck anti gay-marriage acts, fuck large government, fuck power-hungry politicians, fuck un-Constitutional war, fuck shitty and expensive government programs, fuck the PATRIOT act, fuck Gun Control.

If you are an American and you aren't a penis-face, you'll vote for this old badass. If you don't like Republicans, you don't have to vote for Obama or Clinton; this guy is set on fixing the Republicans without fucking everything up like the Democrats want to do. Giuliani is a dick and McCain is a flip-flop. And that one guy is a Mormon. You have a year to make the right decision, and four+ years of agony thereafter if you make the wrong one.

Here's an hour-long interview/Q&A session with Dr. Ron Paul (beware the annoying-looking Libertarian audience).

Also, check out his campaign page.

Here's his campaign sign. He has a gay slogan, though.

I know I'm a bit early (a whole year early), but you guys wouldn't even have known who this dude was, and that's a shame.

while this guy seems swell and all that I hope to god he doesnt have the "ralph nader effect" and cause another dickbag republican to get into office.

KupaMan 2007-08-01 00:26:23

He may actually end up doing that for the Democrats. I've heard a lot of upset Republicans favoring this guy.

I really like the Libertarian philosophy, and I think Ron Paul's an old-school mother fucker, which is what we need in Washington these days. He actually wanted to issue letters of Marque and Reprisal (old pirate-hunting state-paid bounties from the 1700's) for terrorists rather than going to war. The man's got a solid understanding of the fundamentals. Sadly, I think the country's kind of on corporate auto-pilot at the moment: you've got a whole lot of people that put all their faith in what the government or the media tell them, and it's really easy for people to abuse that kind of trust and get away with it on a regular basis. Even if Ron Paul wins by some miracle, things might already be too far gone for anyone to let him set it right again. And then we just need to wait for a good outbreak of zombies to shake things up a little bit.

Well, I think that him winning would at least shake people's ideas about the sorts of things he intends to deal with, and though few things would actually change during his term(s), it would get people in that mindset of the way things could or should be. The least he could do, like running, is he could at least shed light on issues that need to be addressed, like the IRS and the fact that it is still un-Constitutional. Unfortunately, even Regan couldn't affect the IRS.

Ron Paul won't win, but I'm not going to settle for someone else. And if I don't get the choice to vote for the guy I want, I just won't vote. I won't participate in voting on the lesser of two evils.

What are Ron Paul's opinions on free vaginas for everyone?

MrCheesecake 2007-08-01 10:32:57

Hells yeah. I've had a Ron Paul bumpersticker on my car since may. The media makes it look like he doesn't have a shot by not covering him, but If you most of the internet polls that include him I think its definately possible. Especially considering how early it is in the running.

KupaMan 2007-08-01 10:32:57

"Republicans" (neo-Conservatives) are trying to belittle him and make him look like a fool, and obviously the democrats have their own agenda. I recently saw on a FOX NEWS debate where a moderator (a fucking supposedly unbiased debate moderator) tried to spin his answer that we should leave Iraq by suggesting that he takes marching orders from Al Qaeda. Fucking assholes. They even laughed because he thought that we should actually follow the U.S. Constitution.

I've been following this guy for a bit and he seems pretty decent, especially for a politician, but I'm hoping for the best. And good point to what JohnnyUtah said, that'd be horrible.

Lol! I was going to make post about Ron Paul too!

I subscribed to his newsletter! Ron Paul actually gave up his seat in Congress for awhile to continue being a doctor, one that didn't mind if you don't have insurance! Also he doesn't make shitty sound bite messages that loses meaning like other politicians. He just says what needs to be said. Of course we don't see him in the media, unless it's on their oddball news segment.

Media: "Gee wilikers! Ron Paul doesn't have any corporate puppet masters and believes in the U.S. Constitution! And he's running for President! How about that! Now for more serious matters; Paris Hilton threw up again blah blah blah..."

The only issue I might have a problem with is his stance on abortion. He's against it, but not because of religious reasons, but cause he's a OB/GYN doctor. He's delivered like 4000 babies in his career so I can can see why he might have a problem with abortion. At least he's not for a complete federal ban, he just want the states to decide for themselves (also won't make interstate travel for abortion a crime). You know after reading back what I researched, I don't think his stance on abortion is a problem for me anymore.

Here's to hoping he'd win, at least the primaries! I will not vote for anyone else! Even if he doesn't win (which would be a damn shame) at least I can go to sleep knowing there's someone in Congress protecting our rights and Constitution.

KupaMan 2007-08-01 13:54:02

I'm against abortion. But I don't stand there with religious arguments. It's pretty simple why I am where I stand. But I won't get into that.
