You do understand that Ron Paul's supporters rigged the vote, right?

Not even a mention of Mike Huckabee. :no:
They must've rigged it. How else can you explain so many people appearing to lean in my direction?
Paul would never win the presidency.

There are some things we can be thankful for.
Careful....do you really want another in the line of Bush & Obama? That hasn't worked out too well.There are some things we can be thankful for.

I am somewhat amused at this identification. One can only imagine the howls of outrage if anyone dared to refer to Obama in this way.

I wouldn't have a problem with it, but people would misconstrue it to be a racial remark even when they know that wasn't the intention.
I thought he was referring to the monkeys taking offense at being compared to Obama.
Recall the furious throwing of feces when chimps discovered that they were Bushified.

Didn't know that but doesn't surprise me. The Ron Paul support organization has pulled off some stunning "stand up and take notice" coups before. Breaking the record for campaign contributions in a single day for instance.
The thing is, he did VERY well in a few states in the primaries last time around including a situtation in Nevada where, I forget the outcome but he was in very strong contention for winning that state. I think they pulled some sh** to rook him out of it.
Things like this do tend to have an impact.
Do I think he'll be the GOP nominee? Not really, but I wish him the best.
To tell you the truth, I thought Ron Paul was a kook back in 2008. Hindsight is 20/20. I can see that he was right about many things now.

No, Rick, it is still quite fair to label Ron Paul as being a kook.

Probably not as scary as I find the idea of Joe Biden being a heartbeat away from the Presidency. :flirt:

Like I said before; Obama wanted an insurance policy.
I think many recent VP nominees fall into that category. The problem comes when the public percieves the Presidential candidate as having a higher than *normal* chance of medically checking out before his/her term is up.

I agree. That was one of my first thoughts with McCain. How long is the duffer with the dicky ticker gonna last in the hot seat?
I don't know, but he is a tough old bird. If you want to talk about tickers, Cheney would be a better example. Then there was the thought of Pelosi next in line.
I used to love when people wanted Bush impeached. I said great, then Dick would be President. Talk about insurance policies!

All I know is, I figured out a long time ago that Republicans talk about small government a lot but when it comes time to deliver, they do just enough to claim they've saved us from those pesky Democrats. In reality, they're both big government and the GOP is just less so (ever so slightly) and in slightly different ways. Dr. Paul votes no on new legislation so often he earned the nickname, "Dr. No" in Congress. He almost always votes no on things that according to his (which is very close to mine) reading of the Constitution, Congress does not have power over.)
He might be a little "weird" but I've always preferred weird people over those who smile a lot and then stab me in the back. And unlike a lot of people who talk a good game in , he has a Congressional voting record of, what is it now? 10 terms, to illustrate he does what he says he does.
