I am starting to Feel Bad for Ron Paul

[Dr.Drock]

Really, he reminds me of Ross Perot. He has moments of lucidity and brilliance; he certainly is not a flip-flopper. He is steady as a rock. He has the habit of shooting himself in the foot. His stance on race, and his barbaric approach to healthcare are his undoing...

Odd how many americans trust a community organizer's view on healthcare over a doctors.



It'd be like me trusting an accountant on how to make a great steak more than an experienced steak chef.

These, however are not steaks, they are people. Yes, cutting off healthcare and Medicare seems anti-hippocratic oath to me. That is creepy. I don't see how letting people go without healthcare or Medicare will help amyone. Sorry, that is MHO.

That's weird, I've never heard him say anyone should be denied healthcare.

Actually he's DONE the exact opposite, he provided free and reduced cost medicare to people who couldn't afford it, and he worked in a charity-based hospital.

Does Obama have any real life experience close to that?

Does Obama have the morals to dig into his own pocket book to help his fellow americans with their medical expenses the way Paul has already done?

He's done a great job standing all by himself (literally standing at 76, while Newt needs a chair) and consistently defending his beliefs and the cause of liberty for a very long time. Sometimes I think behind the very cordial and relatively soft spoken (although not a very good speaker) man, is a rage that would turn the other "I want the job and power" candidates passion into dust.

He won't win, but the message lives on. I really don't think many who do not support Paul really understand what this is about. It's about saving classical liberalism, our constitution and liberties.

With the corporatist warhawks and seething religious fanatics on the right, and the "we wanna try the socialism thing again" progressives on the left dominating the entire political discourse of the day, and the media eating it up like cows at the lick, this is the year we lose the battle on fiscal conservatism and constitutional preservation.

It was a good fight, Dr. Paul. Thanks for all the effort.

Big government statists win the day. Congrats.

He is losing, but he's still the man. This doesn't change how i feel about the man. You want another Big Government Globalist as your Nominee, than so be it. But don't blame Dr. Paul or his supporters for your blunder. Good luck.

Truly spoken. I like the man except for certain issues. As a man who has just been dragged through the mud with my wife trying to get disability due to Systemic Lupus, Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis, after working her entire life, I am not happy with any stance who would allow a life-long tax payer to be destitute to get any help. She was dumped by United Healthcare for a "pre-existing" condition. She had no healthcare and was bed-ridden because she could not afford the meds.

This is what our for-profit healthcare gets us. They try to get as much as they can out each person, which is the worst idea anyone has ever come up with, (but that is another conversation). Also it is another control put on us by the US Aristocracy to keep us in line and not focusing on the fact that we have been railroaded into a pseudo-democracy which only allows the aristocracy to play. You will never see a have-not in the office, just like you will never see Ron Paul in the white house. They will not let it happen, even if he did win. I am sure the electoral college would find a way to change it just like they did when W won the race while Al Gore had the popular vote. We are so brainwashed we didn't even question the SNAFU.

You are certainly right about that. I am worried about the liberal and I don't mean "liberal" like left wing, the liberal use of the term socialism. I have a problem with trying to help and uplift society and every time someone wants to help society as a whole, some jerk comes around and stamps it "socialism". Am I to believe we have to be this nation of 380 million cowboys who can not have a cohesive force, mainly against the status quo, without calling it socialism. I call it enlightenment. Let's not confuse the political structure with a force for good for all society. There has to be some force to champion the dying middle class as a collective and not brand it socialism. I personally think that is the main reason I am left of center. I can't fathom the notion that we can't help one another without the labels. I think this is another control to keep us down. Misinformation is one of the most nefarious tools used by the status quo to keep us out of the democratic process.

It's all about knowing what the problems are and then identifying the solutions becomes more clear.

Helping one another is something built into communities and people's value systems, it is not something mandated by government.

Perfectly stated.

The Paul fans will be retreating to their burrows soon, for another 4 year nap.

 

[paulitician]

HOORAY! Another victory for Big Government Globalism. And how's that working out for our Country?

 

[gallantwarrior]

Ron Paul is the only candidate who came to Alaska in person to campaign. I respect his interest in us.

 

[Dr.Drock]

The Paul fans will be retreating to their burrows soon, for another 4 year nap.

And democrats will be leaving their burrows, standing under Obama's bomb-dropper and thanking him for what he drops on their heads.

True, but I can blame him for not running for Governor of IL! That is the job I want him in. I would be on the frontlines pushing for that!

Yes, we aren't concerned citizens. We're trolls that come out every four years in order to give you big govt statists a group to laugh at, insult, degrade and be generally disrespectful towards.

The problem is, there is no "4 year nap" after this year. We don't have another candidate and Paul is retiring.

So pat yourselves on the back and keep throwing mud in the fight of socialists vs. corporatists. As for me (since I can't speakk for others) it's back to not giving a flying shit about which big govt statist will further set the constitution on fire, erode civil liberties and spend the country into oblivion. The republic, it was on life support, it looks like it now will simply get the white sheet and the cold locker.

Good night suite prince.

Ron Paul loves to preach financial responsiblity, while he's spending millions of other people's money on an illusion of a presidential campaign that cannot possibly succeed.

What is more financially irresponsible than that?

 

[Avorysuds]

I'm starting to feel bad for the GOP... Wait no, I think it will be funny as hell when they loose to Obama!

Keep pickin on Paul, it really helps the party of Big Government and war, the DemoCons!

 

[TakeAStepBack]

What a fucking ignorant and totally stupid thing to say. You make it sound like he stole from people. They donated to his cause because they believe in it. That has not a fucking thing to do with govt. fiscal responsibility.

Don't bother. Just another deranged Obama-Bot. He has his programmed script, and he's sticking to it. Nice effort though.

Everyday I get the honor of seeing completely incoherent and outright stupid posts. Thanks for making that post so early in the day NY.


Does that mean that anyone, Dem or Rep that lost an election was/is fiscally irresponsible despite every single one of them, no matter their party, ran off and talked about being just the opposite of what they are when they happen to get elected?

We don’t have ten+ Trillion dollar deficit because of either single party or any one piece of new legislation.

Exactly. The GOP threw us away when they cheated us and were disrespectful of our candidate. Now, they are finding themselves unable to get one candidate in line to beat the Obama in November.

The joke, is really on the republican party. Because they haven't got a snowballs chance in hell to beat the Marxist and install their preferred corporatist. It'll be fun to watch the mud fly around though. It's interesting peaking into a mass paradigm such as this one.

He is the only guy hasn't won a primary and yet his backers still say he has a chance to win. Heck even Gingrich won GA on Super Tuesday. RP laid up another goose egg.

2012 Presidential Primary Calendar - Primary & Caucus Schedule | Politics | Fox News
Here's his run down:
VT - 2nd to Romney 8 deleg, RP 3 Deleg
VA - 2nd to Romney (no one else was on the ballot) 43 to MR only 3 to RP
GA - 4th 0 delegates
OH - 4th 0- delegates
ND - 2nd, but one 1 more delegate then 3rd place Romney 8 -7
TN - 4th 0 delegates
OK - 4th 0 delegates
WY - Not done yet, but currently he has 2% in a distant 3rd (with Gingrich not on the ballot)
ID - 2nd 0 delegates
MA - 3rd 0 delegates.
AK - A distant 2nd by 16%,.

The nutters keep saying he is the man, but he keeps losing! It's getting so bad I feel embarrassed for the guy.

i don't feel bad for him. i feel bad for the paulian idiots who keep saying he's going to "win" or he's "going to be the nominee" or "he's going to rake up delegates" when those things are counter intuitive, counter to all of the evidence and counter to reality....

but then again, they also believe that a man who claims to want term limits but has made a living on the government dime and then put his son into the family business, is sincere...
