I know people (who are fucking British anyway and don't even get a vote) who have been drinking the Ron Paul Kool-Aid. I'll look forward to pointing this out to them. Yeah, there's been a lot Ron Paul kool-aid drinkers around lately, I know a lot of people who would be best described as "Greens" who've acting as if he's the chosen savior of the US. I point out his flaws, and they act as if I'm pimping for Obama.

I was able to turn my roommate off Ron Paul after he changed his stance on the War on Terror and I told her about his plan to restrict the power of the Supreme Court. She's not an idiot, though.

I had hope for Ron Paul, but now it's obvious he's selling out to Republican ideals. Same thing with McCain (who seemed more in the middle until he ran). You might as well be selling your soul if you choose to run Republican.

These people don't want small government. They just want the government to be run by people they agree with.

Or you could, you know, abstain from voting for president (or write in somebody else) while still voting for other offices/proposals that have more to do with day to day functions. If I could vote, I'd vote for Captain Picard. He can solve any problem in 45 minutes. Of course he can fix our economy. So long as it isn't god damn Cpt. Archer.

(Emphasis mine.)Whenever I point out Ron Paul's various shortcomings to my dad, and all the places where he hasn't lived up to his rhetoric, he just interjects with, "Well, Obama did blah blah blah..." and I all I can say is, "But we're not talking about Obama, we're talking about Paul." It's especially frustrating because I can't help how soft-spoken I am, and he has a booming voice that would make Zeus cower under his throne.

I have to be kinda fair to Paul on this one, he is running for the Republican nomination, so this is what one would expect. And I'd like to see him do as much of this class of pandering as possible, that way next time I run into my Paulite friends I can shove all of his political bullshit right up their ass.

Someone call The DOCTOR! ...technically British too? ...Is John Barrowman available? You mean he defected to Britain too?!?! *falls to his knees dramatically and shakes his fists at the heavens* WHY ARE ALL OUR SAVIOURS EUROPEAN?!

Attack the other party when they can't defend their own. It wouldn't be a bad tactic if their attacks had substance (it's usually really stupid stuff that doesn't matter).
