Merrikans, what do you think of Ron Paul? | Forums

[Pirschjaeger]

Personally I like him.

Remember that little piece of paper that used to mean something? Paul wants to use it to rule the states.

Now there's an idea.

Who?

Meaning:

I know who the guy is, and see him as being another Ross Perot. A "candidate" that is going to take votes away from the serious contenders.

[Pirschjaeger]

When you say serious contenders, do you mean serious as in having gaols or do you mean serious as in who's got the best chance?

I've been watching his interviews on the net for a while. He's the only one that actually says something. He's the only one that makes any sense.

Hillary is simply a Bush in drag. Obama's not to bad. McCain is just down right sneaky looking. So far, from what I've seen, you guys get to choose from assorted cheerleaders or someone who actually wants to follow rules.

By serious I mean the ones that actually have a chance of being elected into office.

I try to not get too involved in political discussions based on my belief that people are very deeply set in their opinions and more often than not it fails to stay civil.

But one part of my political views that I will share is something that my father passed along to me when it comes to voting for candidates.... Which is a phrase we are all familiar with..

When faced with evils, one must pick the lesser. When translated over to our political process-

If you don't like any of the candidates, pick the one that you thinks will do the least amount of damage to the country. (once again, based on your opinion and what issues concern you the most). Take a good look on the stances, and problem solutions that are on the table from each candidate, whichever one fits you the most- go with.

Don't throw your vote away on someone who doesn't have a snow-balls chance in a hot, sweltering h-e-l-l.

So, thats what I do. However, I will point out that I wouldn't vote for Hillary if you put a gun to my head and threatened to have me sodomized by a horse. (and no, it's not because she's a woman...)

Bah, I thinks US politics is full of Bullshiite. I should know, I live here.

If I had the ability to vote, I'd vote democrat. Be sure.

[Tater-SW-]

Clearly you don't actually pay taxes, brewster pilot.

I think Ron Paul will NOT be president, that's my prediction. Be sure.

Prien is spot on regarding our system The time for voting your conscience at all costs is in the primary election. Once it's down to 2 (and yes, it's TWO, regardless of how many 2% vote getter spoilers there might be), you vote for who you disagree with the least.

The one thing I can't understand is how we are letting that Democrat John McCain win the Republican nomination!! I am totally out of politics for the rest of my life I'm so disgusted by people voting for that scumbag.
I will no longer vote for the rest of my life and am turning my back on the Republican party.

That good for nothing, pro-illegal alien jerk is no better than Hillary. And he has voted for all the major anti-gun legislation that has come along. My home state senator, Richard Lugar, is almost as bad as he is. A virtual Democrat in Republican clothing.

Breaking my own rule here a little but -eh it's the interweb and sticks 'n stones.

I don't think we really have to worry about McCain being elected. I don't think America is willing to have another Republican in the White House this next term. The voters made that clear when the Democrats took over Congress.

Personally I think Obama will probably get elected. This may be an odd stance, but I would like to see it because I want to watch how he goes about handling the current big issues when he's not in a position to just TALK about it, but actually can attempt to DO something.

But.. I 'spose that could go for any of the candidates that make it past the primaries. Though, if it comes down to Hillary and McCain-- definatly going to vote McCain.
