OBAMA and MCCAIN supporters tell me why you didnt vote for Ron Paul?

Give me reason- Have you ever looked into his views?

Do you even know who he is?

Does the message of Freedom and Liberty not appeal to you?

Does it bother you because he has a sensible peaceful foreign policy, you would rather have a war monger as your president?

Update:

Obviously you must know that Obama is going to send more troops into Afghanistan and McCain is going to continue the Iraq war and you must be ok with this.

Why did Obama say once that Iran is a grave danger and then in another speech he said Iran is not a threat?

Why did McCain sing about bombing Iran?

Why does McCain continuously say our troops say to us "let us win" tell me why I heard a lot of our troops say the exact opposite.

Tell me why our troops donated more to Ron Paul then John McCain if Ron Paul foreign policy is so wrong

Update 2:

McCain in my life I've learned one thing when you make a mistake (Iraq war) you dont continue the mistake you admit I screwed up and do something different.

Update 3:

The thing is Ron Paul isnt an Isolationist- He wants to talk and trade with other nations not start wars with them. Canada doesn't start wars with other nations. Brazil doesn't start wars with other nations.

    I originally want Huckabee for president. But I would much rather see Paul as our next president than McCain. But I rather see McCain as our next president than "Obamie the commie".

    With people like Obama, it's time to bring back McCarthyism. democrat is just another word for ignorant.

    I actually liked some of his views. I believe he respects the Constitution. I think he can't do worse on the economy than where we already are, thanks to Bush and his gang. Those are the plus factors.

    The negatives are that he could never win as a third party candidate and he got scr*wed by the Republican Party and by mainstream media. So I hardly know who he is.

    Not knowing him very well was his biggest negative with the general public. I also hadn't heard of Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton before Presidential election season and I wouldn't vote for them, either. Same problem Ron Paul has now.

    I also have to say I was a bit put off by the rabid almost cult-like following behind Ron Paul and the way they'd interject Ron Paul stuff onto messageboards and forums when it was entirely off-topic. LOL, that's EXACTLY what McCain is trying to train his troops to do now. McCain is telling people to copy and paste his talking point sdirect from his website to anywhere and everywhere on the internet. He should learn from Ron Paul about how that actually backfired bigtime.

    I was also not happy to read about the Ron Paul connections to white supremicists. I don't know if it's a smear and if I was going to seriously consider voting for him, I'd track it down but since I know I'm not going to vote for him anyway, why bother?

    I'll just stop here by saying it's a shame that he was scr*wed over by mainstream media and the Republicans. A real shame. I would have liked to have had more "access" to who this guy was.

    If it were Ron Paul and McCain against one another, I would have

    voted for Paul.

    But he didn't receive enough coverage and I think that this was

    a shame, but Allan Keyes never made it to the stage and they

    had Thompson on the stage (go figure). And he's just a guy

    on a show.? Paul is much more credible than him.

    It's the survival of the fetus.

    Money talks B.S. walks and they win all the time.

    I think you have your candidates

    mixed up.

    >>>obama is the one that

    helped fund an organization that

    rejects "racist" Israel's existence.

    Hannity/// If you knew some of the

    scams people pull to collect

    social security disability, you would

    understand a little more his decision

    on the social security issue.

    My fear, as his is, is that by the time

    I retire, there will be no social

    security for folks like me that have

    been paying into it for decades.

    I would rather take my money and

    invest it where I know it won't disappear

    by the time I retire. My folks only get

    $375 a month...for 2 people.

    That's $12 a day or $6 a person per day.

    Can anyone live on that?

    They can't. I have to help to support them.

    What will be left when you retire?

    I totally agree with Dr. Paul on this.

    Our government lost $2.3 Trillion dollars

    7 years ago...no investigation was ever done.

    As far as Dr. Paul...

    I must confess....I was one who

    was blinded by the msm.

    My 22 year daughter taught

    me about Dr. Paul.

    Through her young wisdom,

    she could see through the

    b.s. of the other candidates

    and what they would do to Our

    Country.

    I started doing major research

    on Dr. Paul, in addition to the

    other candidates and my eyes

    were opened.

    I have been preaching about Dr. Paul

    and the threats to our

    Liberties to everyone I run into.

    My heart was broken when I

    read the sad news that he

    gave up on the election.

    But...was brought to light

    again when I learned he

    has not given up on America's

    Freedoms.

    I supported Obama over Paul, in part because in VT (I don't know about other states) you get either a republican or a democratic ballot, you can't vote back and forth across the line. Paul was the only Republican I even remotely considered voting for. I liked alot of Paul's ideas, but he got steam rolled early on and from then on stood almost no chance of being elected. Now if Obama were to choose him for vice (and yes, i know it'll never happen), that would be a TRUE "unity" ticket ! I'd support it all the way.

    I voted for Ron Paul and will write him in in November if my vote will be counted. If not, I will vote as close as I can get.

    Hannity, do you KNOW his social security program? He wanted to FUND IT for those with vested interests by cutting costs abroad, then get the kids out to put their money where it would be there for them when they retire. He is the ONLY one with a real plan for Social Security that would live up to our 'promises to our seniors' as he called them.

    Sigh. The press said he wanted to end social security. Well, sort of. But not for those to whom it is already owed. They marginalized him well with sound bites, never giving him a chance to respond.

    Ron Paul is a Real Christian and will never get approval from Obama's Secular Progression Movement against Christians and America. Obama is Demonic and needs to be Stopped by John McCain. Remember what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah, to all of the Secular Progressives of that day. Besides, Obama does Not stand for the Bill of Rights - He is Against Freedom of Speech and Against the Right for Americans to Posses and Bear Firearms in Self-Defense.

    He is a true Patriot and a great man. I think he is great. But the media has their own influence and they did not cover Ron Paul or give him much air time so nobody knew much about him. He is all about the constitution and was America's best candidate.

    I did not Vote in the republican primary because I am a democrat but I have said many times that if the republicans had been smart enough to pick Ron Paul as there nominee I would probably still be undecided.

  • 1 decade ago

    I've been for Ron Paul all along. I'll write him in.
