Daily Kos quotes Ron Paul Forums | Paul Ryan Pick Swings Libertarians to Obama

[papitosabe]

The people who are actually going to vote for Obama are taking this too far. It's no wonder the GOP establishment despises Ron Paul and his supporters so much.

I'd rather have 4 years of Obama, than 8 yrs of Romney....who cares why the GOP hates RP/supporters..they're part of the problem anyway...RP would prefer to be third party but has stated several times that the party has no say...what he's been trying to do is change the system... but for now, I'd rather get obama in and out in 4 yrs...and hope for something new in 2016...Romney will be much worse than Obama as far as foreign policy IMO

If you listen to Romney's speeches now, it's clear that he has fully embraced the neocon foreign policy. I couldn't believe the stuff out of his mouth. He sounded like daddy Bush. "Shining city on a hill". America living out its destiny, etc. He's going to be a major warmonger. Count on it. But, of course, so is Obama.

If he actually governed like H.W., that'd be a massive improvement over the last two presidents. Then again, there's almost no chance he would be comparatively restrained. H.W. would have been as bad as Bush/Obama if he were president the last 12 years.

It was the words he used. They were the same words that daddy Bush used when he first started talking about a New World Order.

Ryan Pick Swings Libertarians to Obama


Daily Kos
Aug 11, 2012



After following several links to different places last night, I somehow ended up at a Ron Paul forum. I decided to stick around for a few minutes to see what they thought of the Ryan pick.

I don't know what I expected, the Paul-bots seem as crazy to me as Ryan, but apparently not. Beyond the predictable ongoing outrage that Paul is not the nominee, and some rather oblique references to a "coo" (LOL) at the convention, they had some surprising things to say.
...

Most of them will either hold their noses and vote Obama, not vote at all or write in someone else.

And for fun, a few quotes.




Now thats what I'm talking about!




Yes! We are with you.

What nimrod spelled "coup" as "coo?" Bring back our grammar Nazi!

Oh, and the GOP doesn't hate us because we won't vote for their idiot candidate, they hate us because we stand for what they're supposed to stand for.

 

[Weston White]

Oh, yuppers, and guess who that "someone else" will be?

 

[Liberty74]

not to Obama, but maybe Gary Johnson.

Exactly. The KOS is pure Left wing propaganda. No real Libertarian would vote for the illegal Obama occupying the WH.

We support and are voting for Gary Johnson for the top spot.

Lol...and yep that is exactly why the GOP hates us. It ruins the story line when the people are unsure of who the real hero is. When you peak behind the curtain and see the voting records, the charade is up.

Oh, yuppers, and guess who that "someone else" will be?

Yeah, I chuckled that he who shall not be named remains so even on an article such as this. It is why I took a break from the media crap for awhile. I am trying to figure if I want to bother making a statement this time with a write in only me and the old gals that run the polling booth I go to will see, or if I will just stay home. THis will be the first time I have stayed home since Bush the younger was elected his first time ( which was the only presidential election I sat out since I turned of age...) I will probably go write in but I sure feel apathetic about the whole matter.

 

[moostraks]

I love that some stupid thing I write on a forum in the middle of the night while drunk can end up on a blog post with people seriously analyzing it. Lol internets rule.

lol...awesome to see you bring some reality to the ridiculousness of it!

It's nice to see the head honcho in on the game of browbeating anyone who suggests they're going to vote for Romney, but posting only snide "you're trying to get people to support Romney" comments when anyone says anything about those pushing an Obama vote. Maybe all the Romney-bashers are Obama concern trolls, makes as much sense.

At least one can trust Ron Paul himself not to directly vote for a total zero such as Obama.

Josh is just as much entitled to an opinion on it as anyone else, and considering where you are at maybe you should be greatful he is passionate about his opinions. I think everyone feels strongly about the strategy they are choosing to employ. I was also of the impression that TC was in the camp of lesser of two evils vote for the R.R. ticket. If one is paying attention they might see that would be the worst decision considering the liberty movement has vested more time in Republicans and it will set back the movement a considerable bit if that pair got voted in, so of course you are going to find a very vocal negative response to that. It is why Rand stepped in it with his "support" and set himself back with more than a few of us.

Anyone who calls themselves a "Libertarian" and votes for Obama in 2012, knowing all he's done as President, is a retard.

I couldn't stomach voting or Obama either, but it is best in the long term if Obama wins.

1) If Obama wins, Republicans are likely to win in 2016. We might control the party by then.
2) If Romney wins, any crisis will be blamed on his "radical free market policies". Yes, people are that stupid.
3) If Romney wins, we won't have a shot at the presidency again until 2020.

I still couldn't vote for him, but I understand those that would.

Because that agenda has not changed,

It did not end with Daddy Bush,, did not start with him either. and it runs in both parties..

 

[MelissaCato]

Unbelievable. I am voting for the champion of the constitution and that's Ron Paul. I'll prolly vote for Ron Paul for the rest of my life too.

 

[DGambler]

I won't vote for Obama or Romney. Not sure who I'll vote for, probably Johnson. I live in GA, Romney will take this state.

 

[NCGOPer_for_Paul]

Maybe I'm way off base here, but I have a real fear that if Obama is re-elected, 2012 will be the last presidential election in this American republic's history. I do fear Obama executive ordering himself dictator-in-chief, ESPECIALLY if Republicans gain control of both houses of Congress.

That's not saying that I support Romney, or even will vote for him, but I have a fear that the entire republic will disappear with an Obama re-election.

As disgusting as it sounds, Romney is probably better for the country, although he offers very little in the way of getting things back to where they should be.

Personally, the best strategy is not to worry so much about 2016, but worry about local races, district races, and state races where true liberty candidates have real opporuntities to break through. Start taking school boards, towns, cities, counties, and states back, then the Federal offices will follow.

Dear Lurking Kos-Suckers:

Your site is filled with people too stupid to realize yet that your jug eared grinning liar has institutionalized the worst parts of bush policy into the very heart of your "party".

Most of you were so dumb you fell for, among many despicable things, his "Affordable Care Act" and shut your eyes & plugged your ears when the Louse Baucus had Doctors and Nurses Arrested at a Hearing. (a few of you numbbrains realize that you would have never *ever* tolerated that kind of stuff under a President McCain).

The New DemoRat party is one of Drone Bombs, Mandatory Monthly Payments to Corporations that will wring the last few dollars out of what's left of the Middle Class, having Health Professionals arrested, and looking the other way as Bankster Con men have their way with the whores in DC.

But your heads are so far up the grinning liars behind you can't even see your noses.

Have Fun with your new Drone toys, punks. Just remember: Someone (or some thing) will always be watching You!

Love, One who will *NEVER* vote for a (D)Rat again.

PS: My kids will not lift a single finger or break even one drop of sweat to pay for your short sighted cult worship, we're leaving the country just as soon as we can, after casting votes for:

No, I just said that my preference is for Romney to win, even though I'm not going to vote for him or lift a finger in order to make that happen.

I got that later on in the thread. Should have said initially of the impression.

I noticed this as well.

Not my video, but this was made a while ago. Still relevant.



I will say though, that before Kos folks get too excited, if Obama wins again, the 'axe' is in his hands. The democrats won't be able to keep pointing to the Bush years and saying that they're just stuck with a badly dealt hand; that they, 'inherited' all these problems from Bush. Obama has enough new problems by now to leave a little 'inheritance' of his own to whomever comes next in November, even himself, should he be re-elected.

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

Right, but if Romney loses we can double down on our efforts to change the GOP. If he wins it's validation that moderates can still win and they will control the party. There's really a lot at stake here beyond the obvious.
