    Quit dodging the question I asked you Red State...

    What was the cause of 9/11? (Not the effect...we all know what the effect was). What was the cause of it. Why did it happen?

    Someone has to court the fringe vote too.

    "underbosses do all the dirty work?" But no work, dirty or clean, has been done. No laws passed on any of Paul's important issues. Not one in 3 decades and over 700 attempts. The "underbosses" should be sent home too.

    And yet you keep doing the exact same thing.



    And Kids?

    18-24 year old are 'kids' to you?

    Interesting.

    I've been on this forum since Mar 2010, NOT 30 years like Paul.

    And yes 18 to 24 year old are kids. Very little real experience. The immaturity and gullibility to take a politicians words at face value. A very small voting block that would be relatively unimportant if it were cohesive, but it is not. The youth "vote" is all talk. Maybe that's why you like Paul, he's all talk too. The youth "Vote" DOESN'T! Much verbal passion, much verbal enthusiasm, much verbal energy, but come election day, they can't be bothered. They're off chasing their hormones or their burgers & fries. But they aren't at the balloting place, volunteering, or voting.
    IDEAS accomplish nothing. The hard work making ideas into REALITY, is the accomplishment.
    I've been young and I have an excellent memory, so I remember what it was like to be young. Kids have never been old. They cannot have any idea what it is like to know 4 or 5 times MORE than when they knew EVERYTHING!

    To people, like me, who strongly believe in what Ron Paul says...Ron Paul's time in politics has hardly been a waste.

    He has been a beacon of common sense...something you obviously do not appreciate.
    And the fact that those in Congress and the general public have not appreciated what he has had to say does much to explain why America is in decline and has been for some time.


    And you think 18-24 year olds are kids.

    Noted.

    word (wûrd)
    n.
    1. A sound or a combination of sounds, or its representation in writing or printing, that symbolizes and communicates a meaning and may consist of a single morpheme or of a combination of morphemes.
    2. Something said; an utterance, remark, or comment
    3. Computer Science A set of bits constituting the smallest unit of addressable memory.
    4. words Discourse or talk; speech: Actions speak louder than words.
    5. words Music The text of a vocal composition; lyrics.
    6. An assurance or promise; sworn intention


    ac·tion (kshn)
    n.
    1. The state or process of acting or doing
    2. Something done or accomplished; a deed.
    3. Organized activity to accomplish an objective
    4. The causation of change by the exertion of power or a natural process.

    Adults understand the difference between words and actions. Children don't.

    All adults are very aware that you children THINK you know everything. It is always humorous to watch as you mature and learn that you not only don't know everything. But you don't know anything worth knowing YET.

    But you will eventually learn like us oldsters that as much as we have actually learned, we always feel like we're just at the beginning of knowledge. It was much more comfortable when we were kids and knew everything.

    Paul, sadly, has never learned how to get the job done.

    Florida, you're going to be sorry in November.

    How could any conservative who wants what's best for the country, vote for Romney?

    Paul never compromised his position just to obtain power.

    He has been saying the same things for about 30 years.

    And he has been right ALL along.

    What you consider a failure, I consider a great success.

    Honor is about doing what you think is right, even when others disagree.


    And the fact that his support is WAY above what it was in 2008 shows that his message is finally starting to sink in.

    Very encouraging.

    His support in 88 and 2008 was next to nothing. Two times next to nothing equals next to something. Not something. You sound just like an obamabot. Chrysler sales up 45% over last year! Sounds terrific! What were the sales last year? Almost no sales. Thus 45% increase is near meaningless. Same with Paul, much better support than previous. What was his previous support? So meager that he DROPPED OUT of the race early both times. Now his support is WAY above what it was. That terrific support has garnered him 3rds and 4ths in a 4 man race. With friends like that he doesn't need enemas. As the many candidates have winnowed out, their support has gone to the other 3 candidates, not Paul.

    Paulobots are hiding in an imaginary world, thinking nothing equals something.

    You will NEVER converse with any person that has a higher regard for HONOR than I do.

    The difference is that I believe that taking up space and flapping one's lips for 3 decades without accomplishing ONE thing is not an "HONORABLE" way to live one's life. You do.
    Life is simple.
    Lead,
    Follow,
    or get out of the way.

    Paul has not led, not followed, and gets in his own way.

    And exactly which part of the movement that champions the political beliefs that Ron Paul espouses is he not leading?

    OK, you got me. Paul is leading the pitifully small number of immature, inexperienced children that have no effect on elections. The results to date prove that. They have not won anything, nor have they even come out and voted. Not much of a leader, or perhaps its his flock that is confused.

    Paul told the kids at the Raddison last night they are more important because they will be voting while everyone else stays home.

    Hint..They are out numbered.

    Why don't you note THIS.

    FACTS, in the primaries so far Paul's "strength" has been in the youngest voters, 18 to 24 only, the least educated voters, and the lowest income voters. All 3 groups, separately or taken together do not make a strong voting block. And that historic fact has been born out in the primaries to date. Paul WON in those 3 groups. But each of them and all 3 together have NOT made up a sizable block of votes.

    He's like a job candidate telling an interviewer, I have no experience, no education, and I've never had a good paying job. I can well imagine employers falling all over themselves to offer that person an executive position.

    And children are those who act and think in a childish manner. Going GaGa over a man that has spent a lifetime talking while accomplishing NOTHING is childish.

    I'd guess that I both like Paul's words and understand them much better than you do, but adults know that words without EVER any action, are just wastes of time.

    And where is your link to unbiased facts that Ron Paul's supporters are - on average - less educated and/or intelligent then the average supporters of the other candidates?

    Don't blame me if you haven't yet learned how to follow and dissect elections.
    Hint, look up exit polls. But I'll NOT do your work for you.

    No, There are news stories and videos all over the web. That Paulobots live in a world of make believe is not my responsibility. If you want to believe that you are right, go ahead. You waste your time in wholesale amounts now. One more imaginary conclusion makes little difference.

    If you were aware of or interested in reality and facts, you wouldn't be backing a dead horse. But you are so,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    TIME WILL show that this Paul run for the presidency was another idiotic waste of time like all his other runs for the presidency.

    And I did fail to mention another group that exit polls found to be in some favor of Paul,,,,,,,,LIBERALS!:-D:-D THAT, is a crack up!

    Where did I type that I thought Ron Paul would win?

    I have never thought he would.

    Actually, he is doing MUCH better then I thought he would six months ago.

    It's most encouraging.

    2016 is looking good...if the conditions are right and the new leader a good one.

    Ridiculous in the extreme. Now you're looking ahead to 2016, NOT PAUL! Or are you hoping that the 81 year old Paul will still be cognitive? This thread has never been about 2016 or a NEW standard bearer for Paul's ideas. It was and IS about his "strategy to rack up delegates in Feb.

    Yes, he's doing much better than 2008, in NV he got 100 more votes than he did in 2008. WOW!!!!

    I have no rigid opinion of Paul, but you have to give him credit his bumbling rhethoric makes the establishment jitter a bit since he does reveal a lot of paradoxes. For example, the establishment representatives talk (*)(*)(*)(*) and nonsense. The Fox News reported today how Obama challenged corporate and financial interests to start making large contributions to his upcoming campaign called super-pacs. Previously such contributions were criticized since Washington D.C. has a reputation that it's main occupation is to sell policy for money. Buchanan for instance extensively criticized this state of affairs. Obama on the other hand outspent any other running presidential candidate in history, then after winning the presidency made a number of cute speeches criticizing super-pacs, and now turned 180 degrees and made loud pleas for super-pacs under a pretext asserting Romney is winning the primaries because he received most contributions which allowed him to run most negative ads, so now Obama needs money too ostensibly to run negative ads too. Suddenly negative ads are a revelation, as if they did not exist in 2008 campaign. The bottom line is if you claim to stand above the pack then stick to your line, but instead it's all double talk. It's like those lyrics from the Prince: make rules just to break them. Obama may have taken this trend to an extreme, but it's prevailent throughout the establishment.
