Convince me why Ron Paul (I am considering him)

Although I know it's not surprising, I'll stick by myself on this one. Even moreso since you didn't have time to read everything, but you addressed me in particular.

So, why did you choose your name, Harbinger of Truth, when you signed up here specifically to ask questions? Isn't that a bit odd? Is that your handle everyplace you go, since you're so wishy-washy about stuff in general?

If you're legit, you'll forgive me for not buying it.

In the meantime, my answer to your post is still in the following thread.

If you don't forgive me for not buying it, then maybe you'll post that people like me are driving you away. I've seen several agents blow up on that one during their exit.

you are of no help and just want to run people away. How about you take your own advice? If you haven't noticed it takes VOTES to get elected in this country.
 
Woah, you guys make some good points. I still have to finish reading some of the stuff, but I get the gist of what you guys are saying. Though, if it isn't a problem, could you elaborate about ending the FBI, CIA, Board of Education, etc? Thats a hefty claim to want to eliminate them. And if you could elaborate on the drug war just a LITTLE more that would be perfect.

You guys have almost swayed me over, but I want to be convinced that I truly support the candidate I support.

"MoneyWhereMyMouthIs2" I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't come here to upset Ron Paul supporters nor to bring havoc. If I did, I would of came here posting a thread saying "VOTE MITT ROMNEY, HERES WHY." Instead I came here, making a thread being polite and with serious concerns many Americans have. I actually do like Ron Paul and especially after reading these replies am honestly considering switching my support to him.

Read my post :p I explained it all there. :)
 
(Note, I picked the name "harbinger of truth" for a few reasons. One is the fact it sounds cool. Second is I like to be honest with myself and have honest beliefs. That is why I am open minded, and it seems Ron Paul brings a lot of truth to his message. I wanted to learn more about him and see if I can relate to his message).

Rest assured, I'm not not out to get you or anything. A lot of people have been popping in recently asking questions that aren't really questions. About 10-15% of the accounts here probably aren't Paul supporters, so be careful what you read as well.
 
Great source for all things Ron Paul is the ronpaullibrary.org.

Chasing people away that are really considering Dr Paul does us no good, there is not trollish discussion going on here but real Q&A. What is detrimental is talking about imaginary people and doing useless things to get the Ron Paul name out when all some do is make him look like an idiot. He is NOT an idiot but one of the most studied candidates(if not the most) and we as supporters marginalize him many times by our stupid actions.

Thank you for exposing my motives. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, and my short history on this board, even, proves otherwise.

When somebody starts off their post by being completely for the war in Iraq and completely against drugs since they don't create real damage like alcohol and cigs, it looks a little funny.

Anyone who's legit also needs to be aware that everyone else on this board isn't legit. People need to be aware of that, including the OP. Besides, 30 nice posts explaing everything and one sour guy like me doesn't drive anyone off the boards. If someone says that and you believe them, then you were probably duped there.

You are incorrect some people have questons and want answers, in fact the majority of the US doesn't understand Ron's position by telling them to go away you do a major DISSERVICE

I was for this war up until Aug/Sep of this year myself until I started having some doubt regarding the management and reality of it.

Uhhh... then continue on. :) I was done with this thread until personally addressed by you.
 
Because whether you support the war or not, we cannot afford it. It is going to end intentionally by prudence, or by necessity due to economic collapse.
 
To people criticising this guy who is asking questions about ron paul.

Give the guy a chance and quit being so paranoid.:D

Guys, let me just thank each and every one of you for responding. Looking closely at most (still have to finish some posts) I have made up my decision and I am going to start supporting Ron Paul. He is a man with many merits, honorable man (his middle name is Earnest lol), has a humble foreign policy while NOT being isolationist, has a true plan to fix not only the economy but the deficit, and I believe his message will and can spread.

Thank you all, I will be posting in this forum regularly and once again thank you all :)

Welcome to the campaign! Glad to have you here. It feels good to support the right candidate, doesn't it?

Now that you've been enlightened, you'll never go back. ;)
