I think my favorite part of this election are the Ron Paul supporters. Not all of them though. Some Paul supporters are just as boring as Obama supporters or Clinton supporters or Hillary supporters. There is a special breed of Ron Paul supporters though that are as resilient and persistent as cockroaches. they are more cute and cuddly than cockroaches though with their optimism and idealism.
Anywhere there is a political discussion taking place on the internet at least one of these fervent supporters will show up to make sure we have heard that Ron Paul wants to shut down the federal reserve. Usually another supporter will show up to tell how dedicated to the constitution Ron Paul is. If you are lucky you will get one of the Ron (libertarian Jesus) Paul supporters to drop by just to tell you how wonderful of a person he is.
The thing is, Ron Paul is pretty inconsequential due to his chances (or lack thereof) of winning. His supporters though are something to cherish. We have to enjoy them while we can.

I’m pretty sure though that a very good number of those mysterious forum supporters are well programmed spambots.
But hey, there’s nothing in the constitution about bots!
I kinda hope they are bots. If not then this post may be a lightening rod.
“Ron Paul is inconsequential” is a self-fulfilling prophecy brought on by Lesser Evil voting. When more people WAKE UP and realize the establishment of both parties is not giving them a real choice, Ron Paul’s ideas will thrive.

That is too funny. Mitt still flip-flopping even after he left the race.

They wouldn’t be cute if they weren’t harmless - remember the Nader supporters of years gone by. Just as fervent, but not cute. Look where they got us.
Ron Paul supporters just can’t vote for other candidates. We are just sick of having our lives managed by a government that doesn’t care whether we live or die.
Here is what we have a choice of today:
Hillary - voted for Iraq war and Bill brought in the resolution to remove Saddam while he was in office, and regularly raids the social security fund to give money to her donors
Obama - voted for Patriot Act that effectively erased the Constitution; check Naomi Wolf (a democrat) on the stages of tyranny; and realize that Obama negotiated and voted on the side of tyranny
McCain - making Dr Strangelove look sane with his 100 yrs war, and let’s bomb Iran
Huckabee - tell people what they can and cannot do in the privacy of their own home because of moral authority from the Bible - didn’t Jesus come to set us free?
So, if not Ron Paul, who?
Ron Paul just wants to give us back our liberty and return to the constitution and his record backs that up.
The way the media handled Ron Paul did make me sick to my stomach on several occasions. I’m not even a huge ron paul, just a guy who isn’t into the media telling me who to vote for.
Can you define a Huckabee supporter? How about a McCain supporter? Or an Obama supporter? How about a Hillary supporter?
Ron Paul is so beloved and popular that even his supporters have achieved notoriety! I believe it was the L.A. Times that called us “the young, the intelligent and the frustrated.” Yup, that would describe a lot of us.
Its a mistake to underestimate Ron Paul. He is the only qualified candidate for the Presidency.
Paul transcends Republican or Democratic Party ideology. He advocates an authentic American ideology and is more loyal to our country than traitors like McCain and Clinton.
We need to bring our troops home and expose the truth of the American Reichstag burning.
America demands an end to NeoCon hegemony. If we don’t act now our country will be under the thumb of a fascist repression that is justified by a false war against alleged Islamofascists. But Bin Laden is just a strawman like Saddam’s WMD. Where is Osama Bin Laden? Does he even exist? I’m not saying that Bin Laden never existed, but question if he still exists. Do we really know everything that we should about this alleged terrorist? He is a freedom fighter to Muslims and a terrorist to us. That is so racist. We have to open up the debate and ask some hard questions. Bin Laden was a stooge of the U.S. during the Afghan War (funded by ContraGate) so it isn’t too inconceivable that if he is still alive he could still be working for his former handlers. The evidence of the controlled demolition of the WTC lends credence to the possibility that our government used Bin Laden in order to justify their criminal wars. The biggest unanswerable question is, Where is Osama Bin Laden? Emperor Bush cannot or will not answer that question and we have to ask why in order to find the real truth.
Here on the domestic front the government is using this fake war to pry into our lives and we have to stop them before the process is irreversible. It is a slippery slope from Democracy to Dictatorship. We have to act now because President Bush is trying to lay the foundation to rule behind the scenes after he steps down from office. His shadow government will be in full control of his puppets, John McCain or Hillary Clinton, so that Bush will continue to be the real power long after we think he is gone.
McCain and Clinton are blinded by their fanatical adherence to the terrorist cabal of the Bush Regime. Vote for Democracy. Vote for Ron Paul!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this article is cute and cuddly, sarcastically. Let me tell you something cute and cuddly. ron paul has opened the floodgates on a slew of matters that have been kept from the public. this isn’t about winning an election anymore. this is about people learning the truth about what REALLY is going on. and if you think that the ron paulers are going to back down on the issues after some freak gets the presidency YOU are inconsequential.
