Re: Ron Paul, Politics and the Internet in the '08 Campaign
It's just so easy to get you Ron Paulites up in arms - You guys gonna send me some angry angry emails?
Serious question: What the fuck will you all talk about when Paul gets destroyed in the Republican primaries and completely fails to attain a nomination, or even the recognition of the party.
Also none of you have even addressed the article.

Yeah that's why I think most people should just avoid voting for the Republican party come election day.

What is there to address? The guy didn't say anything except "Ron Paul's a kook, bla bla bla".
|
So I hope we're all proud of ourselves, sacrificing soldiers for a country that would send a man to prision for throwing shoes.

The question in my mind is how many additional American casualties is Saddam worth? And the answer is not very damned many.

No. He was mainly referencing the nature of Ron Paul's support base and the nature of internet phenomena.

The Democratic Party isn't much better. What with Hillary wanting to give everyone a $5,000 savings account, John Edwards saying he's going to take away Congress's healthcare if they can't pass universal healthcare, or Obama saying he'd invade Pakistan.

Same difference. He was insulting people for holding different views from him.

What will we talk about if that happens, we'll talk about the millions of party stooges that voted for big government of course. We'll talk about the idiots who voted and ran back to their prime time TV shows, we'll talk about the further decline of this nation and we'll talk about getting a better showing next time. The fact is we're not going away, we're educating people every day, and if we fail in this attempt we won't be discouraged because we know that people don't learn how to read in a day.......speaking of which, everyones addressed the blog you posted.

Your article has a point. And I'm amazed he did write it. And, yes, he probably will be spammed with hate mail by a large amount of rabid street teamers. But, he was a little harsher than need be, while at the same time pretty damn honest and pretty on the ball. And RCP.com usually goes with the brutally honest stuff.
He did get his facts a little wrong. His supporters demographic is a little off. One example is, the person who sets up the money bombs is a 37 year old who has NEVER voted IN HIS LIFE.

I never called you an evil foreigner...I just want to know why you have this hard for Ron Paul when his politics...and the politics of this country...have nothing to do with you.
The point of the article is basically saying why's all this fuss over him when he doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hel for getting elected. It's called grass roots dude. It's called waking the lazy electorate up to the choices out there other than the status quo in the two corrupt parties. And it seems to be working. Yeah...it's on the internet because the MSM will never give him any credibility because they represent the status quo as well.

NO ONE will stone ANYONE until I blow this whistle. Even, and I want to make this perfectly clear, even if they DO say Jehovah!!!
