Glenn Beck has "had it up to here" with us (Ron Paul Supporters)

[acptulsa]

Guys, he just needs a little more time. He's turning the corner.

He has been turning that corner for six years now. Must be driving a '75 Cadillac.

He'll never get around that corner. He's too busy trying to paint us into that corner...

 

[AuH20]

No, you don't. You just said you detest Obama. The only difference between you and the people on the forum you look down on is that your division of outsider-insider, like-hate is along more mainstream lines. It's acceptable to you to detest Democrats. And it's baffling to you that Republicans could detest Republicans. But really it's just drawing the lines in different places, in what is, in fact, a Ron Paul-inspired way. It's drawing the lines to define the topography of Liberty vs. Tyranny rather than Republican vs. Democrat.

More like there are republicans who deserve derision and ridicule (McCain, Graham, Alexander, Romney, McConnell, etc.) while there are others who don't. This whole nonsense about both parties being the same from top to bottom is utter nonsense. Yes, the GOP's party leadership as well as congressional leadership is compromised and corrupt, but not every single republican is malevolent. And I absolutely delight in the the shortsighted, messianic complex some RP supporters carry around, in that only Ron Paul is the sole poltician fighting against the establishment hordes. What a crock of shit!

You're right, they are different. One party eagerly embraces socialism whereas the other party only cautiously embraces socialism.

+Rep, that is the most clear and concise way that I've seen it articulated, may I borrow it and spread it far and wide?

Of course, always, no permission necessary. I'm flattered that you enjoyed it.

He pretty much is actually. That's why they had to try and shut him up. Even his son won't commit to going where he has gone 100%...case in point would be Ron's speech at the pre convention rally vs Rand's speech at the convention. Ron Paul is at hero status for a reason...one that the likes of Glen Beck will never grasp.

plus one rep for you

However:

Beck, Hannity, Levin, Weiner, Limpbag, and a couple of members of this board all agree that you are not a great American.

He's far from the only one. That is what is so comical about some RP supporters and this myopic tunnel vision they carry around. There are active politicans fighting tooth and nail against this takeover. Louie Gohmert (who was on Mike Church's show recently) comes to mind along with Walter Jones & a host of others in the House. They are actively being subverted by party leadership.

 

[VBRonPaulFan]

If Beck et al. wanted the vote to not be split, he should have made passionate pleas earlier in the year to people all across the country to nominate an actual Republican as the republican nominee for President. Funny how that works... the GOP runs a facist, big govt loving politician - and conservatives and republicans don't want to vote for him. Weird!

I don't consider Tea Partiers the equivalent of libertarians in the pursuit of liberty but would love to see your list of politicians that you hold up to the same level as Ron Paul.

No where did he say that every single republican is malevolent. What he said was that he's drawing HIS lines for Liberty vs. Tyranny rather than Republican vs. Democrat.

Ron Paul isn't the only one with a pair of eyes or ears. I'm sorry to say. He doesn't have special sunglasses or own a magic crystal ball. And he's certainly not alone.

Ron Paul is one of a kind. There will not be another. Not in our lifetimes, anyway. But, there still are some very good politicians. People like Justin Amash and Rand Paul. Just two name a couple.

I don't see a lot of difference in them at the top.

I don't see a lot of difference in them at the top.

That's the huge hurdle to overcome.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Some seem to have a disproportionate distaste for Ron Paul supporters. That is also true. Just sayin'.

Who would that be? It's not like every Ron Paul supporter is the same. Each person is responsible for their own actions. Most are great, from what I've seen. However, just as in every campaign there are some who have perhaps not engaged their brains before they acted and if they do that under the banner of being a Ron Paul supporter, it smears all of us.

Amazing that the man can predict the financial meltdown well in advance, yet not be acknowledged for it on a forum dedicated to supporting him...

No. I'm only responsible for my own actions. I do not accept the idea that I'm responsible for the actions of anyone else. That's the only reasonable answer to those who would like to smear all RP supporters based on the actions of a few.

Don't get defensive, LE...no reason to get defensive unless I struck a nerve, right?

We'll see. They're both in the infancy of their political careers. Both Rand and Amash have gotten off to a very good start, but Rand's endorsement disappointed me...there's time for him to redeem himself, however.

Thanks to Ron Paul, my standards are high. I don't intend to lower them for the sake of another "good" politician anytime soon. If that means I miss an election or two, so be it.

What makes you think they're looking for a reasonable answer?

Ron Paul understands. If you want to make the kind of difference he has made, you must be so clean you squeak. Otherwise the media will be able to demonize you. The snowball thing has mostly been laughed at, yes. msnbc showing a black man with a gun at a Tea Party as evidence that we're all racist was a great boon to us. And they treated us far worse than we treated them. That said, acting up is tantamount to giving a slanted MSM free ammunition.

I'm not saying we should just do as they say. That won't get us anywhere either. I'm just saying that most of us have used Ron Paul's obvious integrity to advance the cause, and that should tell us something.

 

[cajuncocoa]

What makes you think they're looking for a reasonable answer?

I have no idea what they're looking for....they change the rules and make up new ones, so whatever they're looking for tends to be fluid. All I can do is hope that people see through the shenanigans....a reasonable response is all I can give.
