Ron Paul has no chance. His ideas are absolutely absurd and his supporters are absolutely annoying. And yet, I love that there's someone who is generating honest to God passion amongst voters. I mean, OK, if Ron Paul were elected, I'd move to a different country, because he is literally the antithesis of what I want as a President (one of those online quizzes had Ron Paul as my lowest candidate with 56 or so disagreements), but I can still respect that there is a candidate out there that people actually like. Good for him.
No, the real question I have is why are you threatened by Paul? The only reason I can think for making this thread is because you are sick of all the Ron Paul threads on P&N (and I don't blame you), and you want to rub Paul's supporters' noses in the fact that their candidate is not as popular as your candidate. Ron Paul will never be President of the US (I don't like to speak in absolutes except for humorous effect, but come on, he will not win in his lifetime). You already know this techs. At this point, you're just trolling, trying to cause a ruckus with Ron Paul supporters and take the heat off Hillary. It's just juvenile schoolyard politics.
On a more personal note, and this is honestly not intended as a flame, when I first started posting here (I've been reading AT forums since I built my first PC back in 1999, but I joined much, much later), techs was one of the people whose opinion I generally respected. In the last few months, you've gone from being a fairly reasonable, if decidedly liberal (which is most certainly not a negative in my book) poster, to someone who incessantly spams the forums with pointless topics, random flamebait and general trolling. You've chosen your horse (Hillary; I think the horse metaphor is apropos), and your posting has devolved into propping up your candidate and putting down all others. It's disappointing to say the least. Techs, you're better than this. Don't sink to the level of the RP spammers.
