Do you support Rand for President?

[Brett85]

Well, it's in the general politics forum now.

 

[Carlybee]

I'll let you know when he announces he's running.

 

[twomp]

I don't try to make myself appear smart. Here's why. I don't really care what anyone thinks about me. You see? And I didn't give you a speech. If I give a speech you'll know it. Heh. Heck, I don't even take the time to punctuate properly around here.

Of course, I wouldn't take your bet but it has nothing to do with my so called "little speech".

Do you just write stuff up so you can see your own words? It seems my point completely flies over your head. So, I'll try again for a THIRD time. Does it really make sense to put a poll like this in the RAND PAUL sub forum? I can maybe understand if it was in the General section or maybe if the poll said who would you support, Rand Paul or Ron Paul for president but the fact that this poll is placed here make it useless poll because the results of the poll would slant heavily in one direction. That is why I brought it up, that is also why I brought up the Thomas Massie example TWICE now. But go ahead and reply to me again telling me about yourself and your experiences on these forums and how you never voted in a poll like this before blah, blah, blah, and totally neglecting the point I was trying to make from the beginning. I'd be happy to explain my point to you again for the FOURTH time.

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Oh look, it's this poll again.

 

[Brett85]

Oh look, it's this poll again.

I just wanted to see whether he had lost any support here for his support for bombing ISIS.

 

[Southron]

I dont know. Maybe.

 

[Natural Citizen]

Do you just write stuff up so you can see your own words?

Noooo. I just don't care about your point. So schmoke that in yer peace pipe.

 

[Snew]

nah.

 

[Brett85]

I dont know. Maybe.

Are you on the fence because of the immigration issue?

 

[Anti Federalist]

Oh, this again.

Yes, I do, just not with the fervor and vigor with which I support Ron.

Rand is doing and saying what he needs to do in order for him to get anywhere near 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

I don't like it, but I understand it.

So, since he is saying things to appease the Establishment, then it stands to reason Establishment money will back him to some degree.

Which means he won't be needing my piddling ass couple of large that I dropped, happily, on Ron.

 

[Vanguard101]

At this point, I would rather let the state self-destruct

Your thought on it is why polls like these shouldn't always be given the sour grapes meme, in my view. It is from within any given base of political doers that counter-intuitiveness is most scritinized. After all, those folks, I would think, would be the most qualified to make such assessments and, quite frankly, would be the same folks who are capable of swaying the view of another in casual political discussion out in the real world. Like the grocery store. The hardware store...out at the mailbox...picking up the paper and whatnot. which is really what I meant when comparing PAC structure with pack structure. And so it is fair to consider what they're thinking. Right? We care about the 2% who actually contribute in a way that solicits and produces change. If we didn't then we wouldn't call those same people out for the old "I can't believe yer dissin junior...and in his own forum...you're supposed to be his help" gag. It's important to remember. Even if some are so shortsighted to not see it.

Rand who? You mean the flip flop king?

 

[Christian Liberty]

Rand who? You mean the flip flop king?

Rand is trying to appease morons. Thus, sometimes he is going to act like a moron. Or at least, that's what I hope is the case.

 

[kcchiefs6465]

I do not know how you are tolerated.

Some criticism is deserved (though you criticize for the wrong reasons) but you can hardly answer a four word question let alone actually hold a conversation with anyone on this board, even those who feel the same as you.

You are a disgrace to your philosophy. Countless here who do not agree with what you say know more about your ideology than you do. Please. Read. The information is all available and mostly for free. Study. Come back in two years.

Perhaps then you could respond to even the most basic of retorts.

ETA: I am still waiting for your responses in whatever Second Amendment related thread you started.

 

[Constitutional Paulicy]

I'm pleasantly surprised. I was beginning to think the "No one but Paul" mantra only applied to Ron.

 

[oyarde]

Yes , I am . My question is this , if not , who ?

 

[Christian Liberty]

Yes , I am . My question is this , if not , who ?

This.

Put Judge Napolitano or someone like that on the ballot, and I'll support them without hesitation. Until then, Rand Paul is significantly better than anyone else.

 

[Constitutional Paulicy]

Yes , I am . My question is this , if not , who ?

Didn't you hear? Ron will be running in 2016.

 

[Christian Liberty]

Didn't you hear? Ron will be running in 2016.

This is a strawman. I'm getting even more frustrated as I see people actually starting to believe Rand's moderate positions. I was told it was just rhetorical in order to appease the hawks, and then I see people here starting to advocate intervention to. I still support Rand ,but I'm honestly not thrilled about it, its more because he's less bad than the alternatives than it is that I'm actually excited.
