The ultimate "Ron Paul is so awesome!!!!" thread.

[devilgrrl]

He's awesome, he hates war and loves babies and gawd - he's so awesome!!!!

:sarcasm:

[YoungDUer]

1. Do all Republicans anger you?

I've said it many times to hardcore blue-staters -- some of us live in Red States and have learned to not see all GOPers as evil.

[uppityperson]

2. is Ron Paul "all republicans"?

[HERVEPA]

4. Have you read of this guy's history and positions?

[book_worm]

21. that's a good question. I wonder if he'll answer it?

[Greyskye]

28. he was asked that question here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2377240#2377510

Judge his reply for yourself.

[AndyA]

5. And there are a lot of us who live in red states who DO SEE ALL Republicans

as EVIL.

And I'm one of them. I honestly can't think of one that I'd trust. Not one.

[YoungDUer]

7. That's obscene!

I'm sorry I'm as left as you can get but I can't see tens of millions of Americans as evil. Jesus!

[ProSense]

9. You seem to have a soft spot for Paul! n/t

25. No, this is DEMOCRATIC (big D support Democrats) Underground

not Ron Paul dismantle the goverment underground. Also, chaos often gives rise to demagogues.

[LanternWaste]

59. No. I think we're suggesting you register at one of the Ron Paul sites

No. I think we're suggesting you register at one of the Ron Paul sites. I'm sure there's a lot of them...

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

10. We're judging them based on the content of their character.

Anybody who voted for this guy has blood on their hands.

[YoungDUer]

13. I agree with you

But I have good friends who are Republicans. I don't live in a commune in Berkeley. I can realize some people are misguided and disagree with me but are not evil.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

16. Misguided?

So you're saying they're either evil, or really really stupid?

I guess I can agree with you on that.

[YoungDUer]

20. Honestly, if you can't learn to be friends with people who disagree with you

Then we will never have a progressive America, because we won't be able to convince anyone worth anything.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

24. Why would I want to be friends with stupid, evil people?

with blood on their hands?

[YoungDUer]

33. Any swing voter who hears a Dem talk like that is going to run

to the polls and vote for Giuliani, because that's exactly his caricature of us.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

38. So you're saying stupid evil people...

who don't like being called out, are going to get offended, and vote for a stupid evil people?

Does that make sense to you?

[blondeatlast]

45. You know from experience? Do tell. nt

[blondeatlast]

26. Do you think that's the purpose of this message board? Or any, for that matter?

If you think you are gonna change the world, my friend, let me express my sympathies now.

[YoungDUer]

29. I live in a deep red state and got over 300 people to come to a SiCKO screening

at my university by not calling them evil because they disagree with me.

That's progress.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

42. Do you like to hunt for wolverines in Alaska?

Maybe with your uncle?

[blondeatlast]

49. Could you be any more obtuse? Answer my question--is that what you think message boards are for?

Hell, I'll make it easy on you--is that what you think DU is for?

[nonconformist]

85. Not when those disagreements are fundamental and moral.

How could I possibly be friends with someone who thinks that only those with money should have access to healthcare? How could I possibly be friends with someone who thinks that God wants us to rape the Earth? How could I possibly be friends with someone who thinks that blowing up civilians is acceptable?

[blondeatlast]

19. "I can realize some people are misguided and disagree with me ..."

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha--nice self-contradiction there, eh?

:rofl:

[AndyA]

Try having James "there is no such thing as global warming" Inhofe

and Tom "I'm a Doctor and a Senator" Coburn as Senators, and perhaps you'd understand better.

Republicans are hypocrites, liars, corrupt, and they don't have your best interests at heart, just to name a few. And anyone who views me as somehow less deserving than they are because of sexual preference, political beliefs, etc., and will deny me the same things they themselves have, certainly deserves being viewed as evil in my book.

[Virginia Dare]

78. Amen, Andy, Amen!....n/t

[Ishoutandscream2]

83. That's a big "Amen"

This country would be better off without the Republican party.

[ProSense]

6. Ron Paul is a racist!

I'm sure his supporters will try to convince people his racism ends with certain Americans, that he loves and cares about the people of Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

[YoungDUer]

8. He is not a racist

LMAO this is the one guy who in the Republican debate condemned his fellow candidates for scapegoating immigrants.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

14. Ron Paul hates immigrants.

He wants to deport people of Mexican descent, even if they're U.S. citizens.

[YoungDUer]

18. I don't agree with his revocation of birthright citizenship

But he doesn't want to deport people of Mexican descent:

Voted YES on extending Immigrant Residency rules. (May 2001)
Voted YES on more immigrant visas for skilled workers. (Sep 1998)

http://www.ontheissues.org/TX/Ron_Paul.htm

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

22. Revocation of birthright citizenship = deporting people of Mexican descent.

The guy's a white supremacist.

[YoungDUer]

30. No he isn't a supremacist.

That's a slur.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

34. "I think we can safely assume that 95% of black males... are criminal."

Sounds like a white supremacist to me.

[YoungDUer]

37. Do you have a legitimate source

Or is this another quote pulled out from 30 years ago and manufactured, too?

Jesus, I think half of this guy's policies are lunatic-born, but I'm having to defend him because what people are saying about him is just as false.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

47. "The Ron Paul Political Report" by Ron Paul.

:rofl:

[blondeatlast]

55. Don't laugh. I once asked for a cite that proved Ron Paul wasn't a racist--

and they linked me to his campaign site. I kid not.

Not the brightest bulbs on my eaves this year, are these Paulbearers. :rofl:

[Greyskye]

70. "Paulbearers"

:rofl: Quite apropos since he's been tombstoned now. :rofl:

[AuntPatsy]

17. I see you in all the RP threads, hey I am married to one you know but he is more like mind than me

than he admits and wouldn't advocate half the bs that RP does, his turn towards the republican party is nothing more than for corporate interests though, he is not a fundie or really does not care about people getting assistance, he just wants to ensure he gets what he feels is his fair share.

I know a few of RPs ardent supporters, the mind set of those supporters freak me out, seems you are one as well. Do you even realize why some like him? He is all about him and those that follow him are just as selfish.

I don't need to explain myself to you I am sure since you seem to know alot about him, but if you don't see the selfishness of many of his views you have not been paying attention.

[redqueen]

53. All of them since yesterday, you mean?

This new DUer just joined yesterday.

Busy little bee, aren't they.

[AuntPatsy]

64. Well for me its just today, haven't been on in a while...but busy definately...

[LeftishBrit]

23. No; nor do all Tories; but far-RW-ers do.

[iamthebandfanman]

43. then let me be the first to say

im sorry.

lol

maybe you should strike up a conversation on politics with these gopers who arent evil and then get back to us... ;)

im not saying they are ALL evil, just 9 outa 10.
ignorance isnt an excuse either ;)

[redqueen]

52. WTF are you talkin about? All GOPers ARE evil.

They support bigotry, wars of choice, ignoring the poor and helping the rich... I could go on and on.

Fucksake. Have you missed the last 20 years somehow?

[NavyDavy]

66. he may not be that old

[redqueen]

69. When I was in my 20's I was aware of what went on in the 60's.

x(

[electprogdems]

74. yes

I suggest you go to your state GOP page and see if you can find their statement of core values (or whatever it is that they call it in your state).

[Virginia Dare]

76. Speaking for myself, yes..

and I live in a red state too.

[nonconformist]

77. Bullshit. I know all GOPers are evil BECAUSE I live in a red state.

Nothing beats first hand experience.

[yardwork]

89. Nice straw man argument. Not wanting to elect a Republican is not the same

as believing that all Republicans are evil.

I'm glad that this one has left the building.

[AlCzervik]

3. if i belonged to an anti government white separatist group, Paul would be my guy.

[blondeatlast]

11. I love ron Paul, but I have to hurry 'cause Dad's comin home and he'll

want the 'puter.

He think ron Paul is a racist. My dad is stupid.

[Greyskye]

12. No, HERE is the ultimate "Ron Paul is so awesome!!!!" thread:

Come again?

[YoungDUer]

32. Kneejerk poltiicos that demonize the other side

It's horrible it's ripping the country apart.

[Crunchy Frog]

31. You do know that you're not allowed to use this site to advocate for Republicans?

There's plenty of places where you can do that, but Democratic Underground is not one of them. I don't make the rules, just thought I would let you know.

51. "I've never voted for one. But I will defend them against idiocy..."

What kind of idiocy?

[Crunchy Frog]

75. Well, not on this site. Looks like the admins agreed with me and not with you.

Bye. :hi:

[Virginia Dare]

79. How do you defend idiots against idiocy?...n/t

[redqueen]

48. Wow you sure have been busy posting, haven't you.

Enjoy your stay.

[nonconformist]

86. He had to hurry to get them in before the tombstone

[Truth2Tell]

62. Welcome to DU YoungDUer!

:hi:

Edit to say: Never mind, too late. I guess he couldn't bear it.

[blondeatlast]

67. The Paulbeareer bears a tombstone. More's the pity; he was so stupid he was fun. nt

[devilgrrl]

84. We can barely bare you either

:hi:

That wasn't meant for you - it was for the party.:sarcasm:

[Truth2Tell]

87. I guess I'm not enough of a

Party Bear

[NavyDavy]

35. i smell a troll....anybody else?

and i don't mean the original poster sorry

[devilgrrl]

39. You mean this guy?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=211250

Oh, absolutely!

[NavyDavy]

44. you knows it!!!

[YoungDUer]

41. 50 million Americans are not evil = Republican plant/troll?

This is getting humorous.

[devilgrrl]

46. Yes, watching you dig and keep getting hit by your own debris is really hilarious!

:rofl:

Keep up the excellent work.

[blondeatlast]

56. Told you this one would be fun. nt

[devilgrrl]

65. Thank you for suggesting it!!!!

:applause:

Please do share your ideas in the future!!!! I'd love to help out! :evilgrin:

[NavyDavy]

notice how it puts a support DK sign on its profile...right after

Dk supposedly announced he would choose RP to be his veep....

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

50. You do you think we're talking about you?

:rofl:

[uppityperson]

57. If you kept your mouth shut you might've lasted longer.

[book_worm]

68. I figured he was nothing but a disruptor in his other thread too all he could do is insult people

who disagreed with him.

[book_worm]

58. True not all GOP are bad

there was a time when the GOP had a liberal wing and there may even be a few--very few--of those people left. But, except on the war, Paul is pretty extreme.

[Swamp Rat]

61. Bye bye!

[blondeatlast]

63. The Paulbearer bites the dust. He's right--this is funny! nt

[redqueen]

54. You're gd right I do.

Makes me sick.

:puke:

[devilgrrl]

60. Oh poo. He's gone. :-0

:cry:


Hope the door didn't hit him too hard on the way out.

[mmonk]

71. What's the point of this thread?

Paul is not a democrat so I seriously doubt anyone here is going to vote for him for president.

[NavyDavy]

73. it was to pull the RP trolls in so we can get rid of them....

[mmonk]

80. Then the sarcasm thingy ought to be removed (dead giveaway).

[devilgrrl]

81. And it worked!!!!!

:evilgrin:


I look forward to the opportunity to do the same in the future!

:hi:

[TwilightZone]

88. You might be surprised....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3688155

[mmonk]

90. Wow. Yeah I remember that thread

but I didn't hang around that long after I posted in it to know the tote count of the poll.
Hard to believe the vote total. Some probably voted that way trying to tick people off.

[NavyDavy]

72. maybe truth2tell can join him

[devilgrrl]

82. works for me.

:evilgrin:

[mdmc]

91. yes

[NuttyFluffers]

92. funny, i'm probably one of the few condemn to vote in the GOP primary...

and i can't think of anything else good about him besides his lip service to end the occupation. but then, i have a primary where all my other options are worse. i'm thinking of writing in Abraham Lincoln, just because his inert ashes would do the least harm in comparison.

oh wait, sorry. rah rah rah, sis boom bah, ron paul is the grooviest, baby! he'll turn america from a privatized oligarchy into a dysfunctional feudal state! talk about an improvement! w00t!
