LOL. That's a funny pic. I'll remind y'all this is the humor and satire section. Probably not the place to look for new threads if you don't have a sense of humor.
By all means, carry on. It just seems Ron Paul & Sense of Humor are kinda one in the same. Might be why it doesn't seem too funny... IMHO, of course.
All joking aside, Ron Paul is an extremist. Let me splain. 1. Ron Paul wants to balance the budget. I mean, what the @@## is he thinking? Why when all they have to do is print money? Doesn't he know that he has zero support in Congress regarding this matter? He obviously lives in lala land. 2. Ron Paul wishes to let Iran have a nuke if they so desire. Doesn't he know that if Iran gets a nuke then world peace would be threatened? I say attack Iran if necessary in order to preserve peace as well as possibly Pakistan who already has one and is arguably just as bad now and any other country that is a threat to the US like they did in Iraq. For now though, what the US needs to do is micromanage Iran with sanctions and murder their scientists and any other scheme they can come up with to prevent them from building a nuke till the end of time. Then when they are done do the same to North Korea, Pakistan, and pretty soon Egypt. 3. Ron Paul also insists that states like Arizona should be allowed to enforce the federal laws on the books. Is this guy on crack? Enforce the illegal immigration laws? Doesn't he know that the states are not the federal government? After all, does Ron Paul want to violate the Obama Executive Orders that bypass the federal laws on immigration? Doesn't he care any thing about the laws of the land? Personally, I thnk Obama should sue Ron Paul like he did Arizona for merely suggesting such a thing. Geesh. 4. Ron Paul is a bigoted racist. After all, he is an old white guy and wishes to replace the first African American President. He obviously hates black people. 5. And lastly, Ron Paul wishes to reduce the welfare state if not erradicate it. Reduce the welfare state? Then people would have to get jobs. Guess what Ron, there are no jobs!!!.....except for all the millions created by the stimulus package that you opposed. No doubt, Americans would be dying in the streets if this man were to be elected just like they were before the nanny state came to be. What a bafoon this man is. I'm just say'in.
Guru the clown.. A clown cannot make judgment on a American Airforce surgeon, 15-20 yrs of school OBGYN/surgeon M.D., then many yrs in govt having the 2 gonads to go swim against the waves. RonPaul a man/tough/against the statquo/the honesty/the integrity/the one that majority of soldiers back/ ..... Is the clown guru a rabies infested extreme repub or is the clown guru a bamboo spine hypogonad liberal spending all the tax dollars on people in america that are lazy.
Ron Paul can make Chuck Norris Cry, but because he is libertarian, won't do it because he doesn't believe in making federal government to do anything. Even if that means he could cure cancer.
Funny, you think people being devoted to a politician is a bad thing. When was the last time you felt like supporting your candidate as much a Pauls people support him? When was the last time you said I am voting for that person cause of their long standing principles, not just saying "he is the lesser of two evils" or "at least he isn't the other guy"? You ask most of the Obama supporters why they liked him, they would say cause he is black or couldn't give you an answer. Ron Paul supporters KNOW why they support him.
IMHO, Ron Paul supporters have slipped from reality to what I call The Obama Syndrome of having blind faith in a man's words, this time, Ron Paul. A man who's had decades to make his mark on DC and has never accomplished anything of note. How do you expect him to accomplish radical changes in DC without the support of congress? Executive Orders? Like Barack Obama???? Paul has some great ideas... and some really dangerous ideas. For God's sake, people. ELECT SOMEBODY WHO'S PROVEN HE/SHE CAN DO SOMETHING BESIDES TALK!!!!!! Sorry for taking the thread off topic by responding. Let me make it up to you. *** Ron Paul Jokes 1. Ron Paul doesn't go the gym. He stays fit by exercising his civil rights. 2. Ron Paul delivers babies without his hands. He simply reads them the Bill of Rights and they crawl out in anticipation of freedom. 3. Ron Paul is an anagram for "Freedom" (but only he knows how). 4. Jesus wears a wrist band that says "What Would Ron Paul Do?" 5. Ron Paul doesn't pee. He liberates urine. 6. Ron Paul knows the one word that rhymes with "orange". 7. Ron Paul gets high on freedom. 8. When Chuck Norris gets scared, he goes to Ron Paul. 11. I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Ron Paul. 12. Ron Paul has no alarm clock, but instead wakes every morning to the call of freedom. 13. Ron Paul doesn't cut taxes. He kills them with his bare hands. 17. Ron Paul is an element on the periodic table. 18. Ron Paul's tears can shrink government spending. Too bad he never cries. 19. Ron Paul doesn't write books. The words assemble out of fear. 20. Waldo cannot hide from Ron Paul. 21. Ron Paul let the dogs out. They were being held unconstitutionally. 22. Ron Paul can believe its not butter. 23. When fascism goes to sleep at night, it checks under the bed for Ron Paul. 24. Ron Paul knows how LOST is going to end. 25. Gold is backed by Ron Paul. 26. A Klondike bar would do anything for a Ron Paul. 27. The sun will go blind if it stares at Ron Paul. 28. Ron Paul is so in favor of the First Amendment, he runs attack ads against himself. 29. Ron Paul is Darth Vader's father. 30. If Ron Paul had lived in Sparta, the movie would have been called Source *** Forgive me?
LOL, I loved those jokes. On to your questions... I think he's more for the message. Could you imagine Ron Paul as the president? Jeez, it would end a bunch of stuff. Paul would end all the wars and at the very least educate the people of the wrongdoing that's been going on all these years. Sure, he may not be able to do everything... But he can and will accomplish a lot more than other presidents. And hey, if the economy tanks while Paul is in office maybe they'll finally listen to him! Anyone but Obama, Romney, Gingrich, Perry, Santorum, Bachmann 2012!
He SAYS he will. That's my point. What's he done in the past that makes you think he's capable of putting those words into action? This country needs a proven LEADER, not a one-man show. Ron Paul, like Barack Obama, is only capable of leading his supporters. Look, I don't hate the guy... he's from Texas! But hell, he's been running for president for as long as I can remember. HE CAN'T WIN. I'll make ya a deal... if he wins the GOP primary, I'll vote for him. But in the meantime, I'm gonna stay right here in the real world.
I'm curious what you're looking for a in a leader. For example, do you want a president that was governor and enacted a healthcare mandate? Do you want a president that supported TARP? Or do you want a former US Naval Officer, doctor, father, grandfather, congressman who has NEVER voted for a tax increase, and NEVER voted for an unbalanced budget. I don't really expect him to win the GOP primary. I would love it if he did and I will help his campaign as much as I can, especially when the California primary comes along. I won't give up and say that he doesn't have a chance - I mean Obama was elected!
I'm looking for someone with PROVEN LEADERSHIP. Yes, like a Gingrich or a Perry or a Romney. Someone who's proven they know how to get things done within the political system. That's much more important to me than campaign promises. In fact, I'd be happy if they'd all shut up and run solely on their records. Fat chance, huh? What's the answer to this one... do you know? 30. If Ron Paul had lived in Sparta, the movie would have been called
The answer is "1". If they all ran on their records, I'm sure they would be run out by the public. Who wants a president that is for individual mandates? No one. Well, the democrats do but I'm sure that you don't support that. I'm loving this TARP thing. I'm sure that everyone loves Bush's bailouts. Can someone prove to me that one of these buffoons can actually lead? Sure, maybe they were leaders but they were progressives... Not conservatives. Maybe they're in the wrong party.
Leaders often change directions based on current conditions. (unlike non-leaders) The public backlash to bailouts and stimulus spending isn't invisible to GOP candidates. Do you honestly think having voted for programs in the past that have been proven to be ill-advised is enough reason to write somebody off? Nobody's perfect. And they're ALL more qualified than Barack Obama. (the answer is "1"? I still don't get it. Much like I don't get Ron Paul!)
People either don't like the way things operate, or do. You obviously do. It really is as simple as that. For no one is dumb enough to think any of the GOP candidates will stray from the global direction, with the American public financing the rest of the world. There is a war going on right now over what "conservative" means. The only way I can describe it is in the form of past employers. I have had truly conservative employers who would pay their employees based upon production, 3, 7, 10, 15, and the best 20 dollars an hour. I have had employers who pay their employees 9.75, 10, 10.25, 10.50 and 10.75 based upon production. Both are in business to make as much profits as possible. The difference is one is true to the ideals and merits of capitalism, while the other runs their business like a socialist. You want to keep those in power who believe in capitalism for themselves and who treat all those underneath like a socialist would. As a worker who is sick of doing 3 people's jobs, just to make 10% more than a lazy (*)(*)(*)(*) who can't even do 1 right, I want them out. At this point, I could burn "progressives" alive and eat their young.
