The reason Paul is garnering so much attention is that he is the only person on the stage who is speaking truth about our foreign policy and as it stands right now, this is the most important issue to people. It's as simple as that.
I doubt most people understand anything about economics or what the gold standard was, why we had to jettison it, etc. This isn't a major concern to people.
Frankly, every debate just makes the rest of the field look increasingly inept and phony. Romney is a hypocrite and a complete fake, how anyone could vote for him is beyond me. The only position I would ever consider him for is - car salesman in chief.
Rudy - has no idea what he's talking about on basically any topic, he was tying Iraq to the WoT again, as in we had to invade Iraq, made sense then, makes sense now. Terror, terror, blah, blah, be sure to wet your bed tonight. Idiot.
McCain - in bed with the Falwell set, gets too emotional with the talking points. His scare tactics with regards to the WoT are really just too much for me to stomach.
The rest aren't even really worth mentioning.
Oh yeah and Fred Thompson, doesn't really care about being President, has no plan for anything, and can't name one single thing he did while serving as a Senator. Sounds like a winner, :disgust:
Seriously, the entire field sucks. The only person will the cajones to speak the truth about the most important issue right now is Paul. He isn't up there spouting the tough guy rhetoric that got us into this mess in the first place and his ideas actually make some people think introspectively about why we are where we are.
This is scary to some people, especially the FNC set, the warmongering, corporate teat sucking wing of the party isn't so eager to look in the mirror.

Here is the SOLE reason Ron Paul does well in online polls. If you are that frustrated with the other national polls, call up 1500 random people nationwide yourself and see how he does in a true nationwide poll. We'll be waiting for your results.
Why are you even bothering to comment? Everyone knows you wouldnt vote republican no matter what they say.

Hahahahaha.... That's the beauty of spamming a message board with multiple threads, when one goes south on you, just post away in the other one.
All this talk of polls...
From this thread... Because I'm too lazy to tpye it again.
Iozina's response - Had to post in a separate quote because he clipped the rest of the conversation...

No... looking at how many RP threads there are vs threads about other candidates... it's not a stretch at all.
It boggles the mind that people are referring to online polls without adding the words "are worthless" behind it.
Online polls are completely meaningless because there are not significant barriers to fraud, but most importantly because it is a self selecting pool of people to answer the poll. The only thing that this poll should be taken to show is that the website is capable of registering 5,000 votes.

Dodge what? That you don't want me to comment on YOUR candidates? I've watched all the debates, can you say the same?
You don't see me telling you or others not to comment on Hilary or Obama. I could care less.
Wrong, read my post, I never said Blah blah blahhhhh, that's a doctored quote and a violation of TOS.
Thanks for playing.

Why do (RP) people keep saying stuff like that?
Hardly a week goes by without some post from you guys claiming a media bias against RP. What do you people want? The guy is included in the debates. What else do you wnat?
Is it because the talking heads who analyze these debates don't agree with you that RP won? Well, why can't they have a different opinion, and who cares what they think?
I think you supporters would be better served by looking at RP campaign fund raising (which if paltry likely explains why the media WOULD mostly ignore him, they seem very concerned about that). If he's doing poorly in fund raising your efforts would be better spent helping him there.

Good idea. Ron Paul is the only candidate I see in the 08 election I'd actually want in office. It would be a good idea for me to donate something to his campaign. Thanks for the suggestion.

Because the mainstream media, CNN/Foxnews/MSNBC, want the cookie cutter media darling candidates to be the face of the election... the type of candidate that will lie through their teeth and say ANYTHING (even if they don't believe it) to get elected. They don't want straightalking mavericks (REAL straightalking mavericks, not frauds like McCain) like Ron Paul to rock the boat.
No, I havent watched them all I have a life. And I have a Tivo. I skip the boring stuff and commericals.

Damn, these Ron Paul threads are getting more, and more annoying.
I would ask for motion to ban Ron Paul threads, btu I guess that impinges on some "freedom of speech" thingy?
I think I'm going to start hating this guy, as little as I may know about his policies, b/c the AT Ron Paul Circle Jerk is getting annoying.
EDIT: could we at least preface all of these threads with a: YARPCJT?

What is the cause of people like you who hate things that are popular instead of hating them because it's your own choice to hate them?Originally posted by: zinfamous

Was it the a$$ beatings in school? was it that you were not a popular kid? Is there someone here with a psychology degree that can explain this boys disfunction?
