To Republicans only: Ron Paul introduced small government and capitalistic ideas to young people, is this bad?

Keep in mind: Many Republicans despise the overt dissolution of our party into what it has become. Just as I respect my Democrat friends who feel the same about the corpse that was once their party of choice.

Similar to what one answerer said above (this is my own version), the vast majority of Americans are disgusted to the point of all-out revolution by Washington's blatant disregard for the Citizenry - which it has shown for the last 20 years or so.

This procession of zombies we call "government" goes for session after session, administration after administration, repeating the same irrational idiocy regardless of their alleged "Party".

Yet, desperate to end the madness, we vote for the lesser of evils over and over.

To be blunt, we are just royally pist!

I can speak for myself when I say they've left us high and dry.

Those mindless control freaks - in closet-collusion are - hell-bent on taxing the middle class to support 730+ military installations in 130 countries, feed and house every nation but ours (the one paying for it), rearrange the clear intent of the Constitution with evident immunity, pretend to protect the Citizenry by fighting a war on the other side of the globe while thousands of people from "nations of interest" ride herds of elephants across our unguarded borders...

Need I go on?

Let a hayfield get dry enough and even the smallest spark ignites a roaring wildfire.

Dr. Paul is a veritable flame-thrower.

Now, it's our turn. The very real burden we face is unnerving.

If we keep the same people in Congress and State seats year after year, we can never blame DC. (I give exception, obviously to those, who, like Ron Paul, have never strayed from the determination to exercise Constitutional restraint on Government).

The rest need to be fired. Hire new ones. If they don't live up, fire them. And on and on and on.

...

Edit: you said, "WHY DO I NEVER GET ANSWERS FROM PEOPLE WHO OPPOSED PAUL THAT ARE REPUBLICANS?"

How do you expect such people to answer? They either know they sold out their own party or they were born with 5 brain cells, 3 managed to escape, and of the two that remain, one is giving the other CPR.

...

No, it's not. BUT.. it will hurt the globalists, neo-conservatives, and the corporations, because Ron Paul has just unleashed a political movement that has motivated tee younger generation to run for office, whether it is for local level, or for Congress, Senate, or Presidency. It's what we need, a younger generation that will only uphold the Constitution, and keep America first by protecting her, defending her, and keeping government off peoples' backs. Ron Paul did motivate people to have sound money, promote wise foreign policies, and altogether bring the federal power back to DC, not abroad so people can have bigger freedom and liberty. Great question.

Yes, it is very bad... for the globalists!

The campaign isn't over because it was never about RP. He just fell into place as the de-facto leader of a sociopolitical revolution that was inevitable.

And, FYI people, the GOP cheated against him and locked him out because both parties are controlled by the same interests, and they decided the GOP is going back to the bench for this shift. I was telling people months ago on this site that McCain is set up to take a DIVE, just like John "Skull n Bones" Kerry did in 2004.

Now the old timer is beginning to self destruct, right on schedule. I just saw someone else's question about whether his choosing a pro-choice candidate would alienate whatever's left of his "conservative" base. OF COURSE it would. And, for the record, in case anyone's still reading... those people are not conservatives, they are just Republicans. Unfortunately, in 2008, these have become nearly opposite terms.

And Barack Obama has been chosen as your next President.

Don't worry, McCain would not have been any better. Again, I repeat: they are both controlled by the same group of folks.

But I know I don't need to tell you this. Take care, free thinker :)

I totally agree with you Free Thinker. I'm a Republican and I would vote for Ron Paul in Novemeber but I feel like it will be a wasted vote at this point. The race will be too close, and the primary goal of our voting needs to be to keep obama from winning the white house and the only way to do that is to vote for McCain. But yeah, I agree with you.

Ron paul is an excellent Candidate and way too good for the Republican Party.

Ron Paul is a visionary with a sound work and moral ethic, so to is Nader.

They both have a ability to hit a center Cord that has a higher probability of true accomplishment for all our benefit.

Former Rep, turned Dem: I liked Ron Paul and if he were running, I'd have a hard time between him and Obama, eventhough they are different in many ways.

At least Paul thinks before he speaks unlike other repubs I know of **cough**McCain**cough**

He introduced them to the truth of the US Constitution .

What's a Ron Paul?

Ron Paul is a jerk from the same state as Bush.
