Comments on: Where Will Ron Paul Voters Turn?

Politico: Dedicated Supporters Attracted To His Unique Platform Are Up For Grabs

[zerato-2009]

Why is it that they pundits are wondering where the paul voter will go? They will go to the candidate that best covers their concerns. Why is it that both parties feel an entitlement to all the votes. And if you do not vote for either party you are "throwing away your vote".

The election is a buffet of ideas and we should be ale to choose what we want. I do not like the hamburger and pizza the major parties are offering. So paul voters have fun and vote your beliefs.

I know I''''ve been wondering what on earth would cause this inexperienced rookie to continue standing out in the open, clinging to his NO DRILLING, NO TIME, NO WHERE position as he shoots the vast majority of Americans the middle finger. Posted by Beastof70 at 10:00 AM

FACT:
We''re not trying to get Saudi to drill more, we''re trying to get them to pump more of what they''re drilling. They''re not pumping what they could, number one. This is a gift, a gift to the oil companies by John McCain. They have now leased 41 million acres of offshore leases. They''re only pumping in 10.2 million of those acres. Seventy-nine percent of all the offshore oil available off the coast of Florida, into the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Coast, the Pacific Coast, lies within those acres that they now have. Why are they not pumping? Why are they not doing this? Why are they not pursuing what''s estimated to be a total of 70--54 billion barrels of oil at their disposal right now if they pump? Why are these greedy fellows deciding they want to go beyond that? It''s because they want to get it in before George Bush leaves the presidency. It''s because they''re not pumping the oil to keep the price up. They are not even drilling. So here you have 30 million leased acres they have right now that possesses 79 percent of all the offshore, and they''re not drilling. And John says they need more? And it would take 10 years for it to come online.

Paul & Obama agree to end Iraq WAR!!!!!!!!!!

[beastof70]

If OsamaObama is the proponent of "CHANGE"

Why does he look so much like a deer caught in headlights these days when action is required to get this so called "Enron" loop hole he points at closed??

If OsamaObama wants to implement "CHANGE" and really stick it to the commodities traders, why doesn''t he get off his butt and get this greenie weenie bio-diesel "SPLASH AND DASH" loop hole changed prior to the July 4th break?? They reported this loop hole will cost America $800 million dollars by next year if it''s not closed.

Come on you hyphenated-Americans, knock off your steady drum beat of name calling and whine....Offer up some real answers.

Now we see how all of my above questions have been answered when it was revealed yesterday how OsamaObama has long been in the pocket of big ethanol producers. It''s in his best interest to drive the price of crude oil sky high!!!

[beastof70]

Has anyone taken note of the latest.....OsamaObama is so busy chasing the big ethanol producers dollar that he''s once again telling America to go drill themselves. He''s been in the pocket of big ethanol producers since day one when he entered the Senate.

I know I''ve been wondering what on earth would cause this inexperienced rookie to continue standing out in the open, clinging to his NO DRILLING, NO TIME, NO WHERE position as he shoots the vast majority of Americans the middle finger.

I''ve seen how he keeps his rabidly irrational minions in line by constantly reminding these morons of *** Cheney''s connection to Haliburton....Even though Haliburton is not an oil producer???

For fifty years now Haliburton has had no effect on gas prices, but now OsamaObama is claiming they''re responsible for this 70+% increase in just the last 18 months since the Democrats regained control of Congress??????????

You forgot to mention the percentage of white radical groups in America who will not vote for obama.

===================

No, but I did include a percentage that includes the white radicals who will vote for OsamaObama. This group is known as the left wing pinko, hyphenated-Americans.

With iconoclast Ron Paul having ended his quixotic bid for the Republican presidential nomination - his platform had called for, among other things, ending the Iraq War, repealing the PATRIOT Act, returning to the gold standard and eliminating taxes on tips - his many dedicated supporters are up for grabs.

Let me see they are against the war against the PATRIOT ACT and they will still vote Republicans now I see why their canidate lost.

[acolton1]

Who Cares about Ron Paul. During the Debates he seemed to not be running on all thrusters and was minus a few nuts and bolts. Ron Paul is an IDIOT and on the fence of being 1/2 crazy.

A lot of libertarians support Obama, mostly for his positions on the war and civil liberties. In the words of Larry Hunter:

"The answer boils down to this: It is indicative of how much I value individual freedom and how profoundly important I believe foreign policy to be at this juncture of American history that I am enthusiastically supporting Barack Obama for president despite how profoundly wrong he is on economic and tax policy. (It also doesn''t hurt that McCain himself is only slightly less wrong on economic and tax policy than Obama.)"

If obama gets elected then i think you will see who the real nuts are. If he is elected i hope you are right about him.

[patriot12436]

vnveteran72
I agree this could happen. I also see the same scenario for obama if elected. There are white racial groupos that will never asccept having a black president. I don''t like obama but don''t want to see this happen to him. America has enough problems now without this.

[patriot12436]

I am afraid the seeds may have already been sown and we have noi choice how a revolution will start. When enough working class lose what they have worked all their lives for and cannot feed their families they will revolt just like in any other country. It has already started here in Thailand with peaceful demostrations. I fear in time it will escalate to become violent as they get tired of waiting and will overthrow the govt. These are good hard working people but they are starting o starve, so is just a matter of time.

[patriot12436]

singletax
I feel the same way, only i would support any one over obama.

[patriot12436]

ramportland
I will vote for mccain if that is what it takes to keep obama out of the white house. I however do not support the war in Iraq. We had a reason for going into Afghanastan. I think we need to stop all foreign aid.We can no longer afford to support the rest of the world. Also we need to stop trying to be the world police and we wouldn''t have as many enemies. Hard to believe i ama retired war dog, but war showed me it isn''t the answer to solving most problems. We have the nuclear capability to protect ourselves from any threat. Leave it at that. Bring our troops home.

A question for Ron Paul supporters who proclaim their love for liberty and pay great lip service to the fatther''s of our constituion. Do you think "Liberty" is not worth fighting for? Would you not support those who cry for it, those who desperately seek it. What would your response be to Sudan, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan under the Taliban, Bosnia. Would it be "leave us Alone. Don''t involve us in your affairs?". Isnt'' this same apathy the reason Nazism spread in Germany. Shouldn''t you defend your liberty against those who are continously attacking it.

Vote for the man who suffered five years and fought every day to retain his liberty, one small victory at a time. Vote Senator McCain for president.

[greatdrivew]

Ron Paul is irrelevant. The only thing that matters now is how long will it take before Barack stabs his entire base in the back. First its FISA, next, who knows?

All it gonna take is another knife or two and Barack''s base will look like it did when he started; at which point McCain will skate into the White House.

So how long is it going to be before you knife us again, Barack? What will it be next time? Oh and let me guess, when you shred the Bill of Rights you''ll probably make yet another pathetic promise to be a responsible custodian of your newfound powers?

Too bad for us you are completely lacking in vision Barack, or else you''d realize that perhaps the next President won''t be quite as custodial as you promise.

But then again, we''ve heard your promises before, haven''t we? I believe it was "Change We Can Believe In."

Forgive me for longer believing, Barack. Forgive me for thinking you''re just another self absorbed DC fraud. I did believed in you, but now I see you for what you are: a complete fraud!!
