Ron Paul Supporters Dwarf Protestors at Debate

[Timshel]

This is clearly, clearly a demonstration of your desperation Mr. Stringfield.

In BIG BOLD letters you announce to the world that Ron Paul had more supporters at a debate then there were protestors .. THEN to even further denigrate your own comment, when asked who the protestors were and what they were protesting, you don't even know and suggested that it could just be some "nutcases" and some homeless people.

So why the fuck are you screaming that Paul had more supporters at a faceless protest? Is that supposed to be news? .. News that you have to SCREAM about?

Desperation dude.

Dumbfuck, who is screaming? I don't choose the font for subject lines idiot.

As I noted, the local press was all week about the protestors (and I know from that that some were homeless) and whether accomadations for them were adequate and fair. I thought it was kind of funny that no one had considered the Paul turnout.

Yes, even you love Ron Paul, deep down. There's a little bit of Paul in all of us, if you'd just reach down and try to find him hard enough.

Why do I keep picturing Ron Paul standing with one knee bent pirate style when I read this?

Maybe it should be his tag line?

 

[Timshel]

What the hell does that mean?

You ronbots are perfectly sane but someone protesting the war (which would be the most likely thing they were there for) is a "nutcase"?

They had signs that said "The System is Broken. Rise Up!" You tell me what they were protesting?

Support for candidates is clear advocacy and a normal part of these events. You guys are just pissed that none of your warmongering candidates inspire turnout.

I have no idea what they were protesting. It sounds like Asshat might have been there. So what though? Why the contempt for any protester? That's democracy, do you have a problem with it?

What gets me "pissed" is the kind of sneering it appears you are doing. I hate to burst your little bubble but I haven't the faintest clue what "turnout" is for any of the candidates...no less am I "pissed" over it.

lol

WM, the only redeeming quality I see in Ron Paul, is his opposition to the iraq war.

On virtually every other issue, I see him as a reactionary extremist.

The point was a local view on the debate. Once again, all week the local news was talking about protestors, mainly the homeless groups. Then many Paul supporters turnout and made the handful of others look silly. They were all over the place and I found that amusing. The point was not about the protestors so much and my initial post had little about them.

However, I think it stupid to hold a protest where it is unclear what you are protesting. Or dumbasses that protest for things that are longshots and would not change anything anyway.

For instance, back in SF I use to see people weekly holding signs advocating the impeachment of Cheney. First off, it aint going to happen. That alone does not mean the advocacy does not have merit, though. But let's say your hard work pays off and Cheney is impeached. Now what? Does anybody actually believe that would change a damn thing?

There are many dumbasses that protest just to protest. They think it makes them appear to be caring, they are trying to live out some hippie fantasy or they are just plain nuts.

You guys sure have a funny way of showing you are not pissed about Paul's support. Every time someone points it out you have a hissy fit, attack his supporters and the poster or create strawmen.

You support the Patriot Act, this new domestic terrorism bill, etc?

Note the term I used "virtually".

I'm not about to make a list, of the issues where I think Paul is right.

Ron Paul votes with the Bush machine about 3/4 of the time.

Posting on the internet doesn’t change anything either. There is your view of the world, and I’ll do you the favor of allowing you to define it yourself, and there is my view of the world. My view is, whether you change anything or not, people of character don’t just accept the world the way it is; they fight. They are the countervailing force in this world. I wouldn’t want to live in a world absent that force.

If you want to believe I’m furious over Ron Paul having supporters, go ahead Rs. The very idea cracks me up and whether you believe that or not is irrelevant. Doesn’t change the fact that I am laughing.

I don't clearly recall what the number, I do remember you botched the stat and made yourself look a fool. I remember it being closer to 60%, though. Plus, you are including many procedural votes that are of little importance.

This is so embarrassing for Libertarians..............

Watching the debates last night...and for the first time I viewed Ron Paul as a candidate in a debate...well guys I must confess this man is a joke and a embarrassment...He equates the personna of Gomer Pyle...he is the GOP equivalent of Dean-Dean the Scream machine of the DNC...only the polar opposite...He was mousey,limp wristed and just plain a characature of Dr.Spock...he made claims that he had over 5000 supporters at a rally and CNN fact check showed barely 2000...What the hell do y'all see in this guy...?
