I find it hard not to call non-Ron Paul supporters stupid.

[Akus]

I know some one made a huge thread about how Ron Paul evangelicals are just like the Jesus zombie evangelicals. Rude, disrespectful, judgemental. But when I hear reasons people won't vote for him I have no choice but to come up with that conclusion.

Some one here posted that he talked to some guy about Ron Paul. The guy was super pissed about the border mess. The guy knew very well that McCain not only did nothing to help it, but actually made it much worse. The guy didn't like McCain at all and considered him another sell out political lobby prostitute. Yet still he voted McCain because he was a "war hero". That is after a detailed outline of Ron Paul's positions, his stand on the illegal alien issue, stripping illegal aliens' kids of the citizenship birthright, everything and after actually agreeing that Ron Paul is better.

Whenever I rebuttal people's objections to Ron Paul and I keep getting more and more objections, I see that people are actually looking for an excuse not to vote for him. Even if they see that he is right and he is the man to vote and agree 110% with him, they say "Oh he won't accopmlish anything", and decide to vote for some one else, often the very person who they know won't accomplish anything, either and is just a power hungry politician bribing or scaring them into voting for him.

So, in conclusion, I understand that we can't be acting like some psychotic zealots when it comes to Ron Paul, but I can't help it. People who know everything about Ron Paul there is to know and still don't support him are hopelessly stupid and they deserve Bush, inflation, illegals with their drug dealing and gangbanging, more lies, more blatant "we know you won't do nothing" corruption, more devalued dollar, higher taxes and a big bar code on their forehead because Osama and Democrats hate us for our freedom.

Some may be smart, but nonetheless, they are SHEEPLE. Smart SHEEPLE are suseptable to the truth, whereas stupid SHEEPLE are very content to stay stupid.

ron paul's ideas are right but people do not believe he can make them reality

to convince them he has to change himself from being a mere congreeman into being a PRESIDENT

he has to act like a leader, like a president. remeber his leadership experience, like obamas, is limited. its mainly confined to a medical practice.

 

[literatim]

There are some stupid Ron Paul supporters as well.

 

[thuja]

of course they are stupid! they are afraid of change, even if it's right. if they saw a whole group of followers, though, they would join up.

Even if you don't convince people right away, just by talking to people about these things you plant a seed in their thoughts that can eventually grow into a liberty-minded attitude.

Yeah, but even a stupid Ron Paul supporter is smarter than a John McCain supporter.

Dr. Paul's leadership experience is quite a bit more robust than anything Clinton, Obama or McCain have done.

I agree, but I have a hard time blaming them at the same time.

When I ask why people are voting for anyone but Ron Paul, they give me stupid answers...almost always a word-for-word answer from Fox News(which is the truly scary part)! I ask them how they feel about the issues, and they generally have no idea what their candidate is for or against. They think that Republicans believe X and Democrats believe Y, with no differences, and past that its the old white guy, the black guy, or the woman.

If people will debate with me, I can almost always convince them if they are Republicans, and some Democrats but not nearly as many (mostly the helpless government has to save me types that prove brainwashing in schools is working on a large number of sheeple).

The reality of it is that most people are just brainwashed by our school systems and the news...once you are woken up you can't fall back asleep...it is a matter of waking them up.

I read somewhere that alot of people voted for McCain in the South Carolina Primary, or it might have been the New Hampshire Primary, because they were under the impression that MCCAIN was going to end the war in Iraq. These are the uninformed, wet-heads we're dealing with. Scary stuff.

I can't be sure, but I have a couple ideas:

The tendency to question EVERYTHING, even what seems obvious, as opposed to those who take everything they are told at face value. (The eternal vigilance our forefathers said was the price of Democracy). As a kid, I got in trouble at school a lot not for acting out or fighting, but for calling teachers out when they were wrong, and sticking to my guns and proving it in front of the class. Being punished for being right has no place in a place of academics.

We accept personal responsibility in our daily lives. (And thus we don't feel that we need welfare). At the end of the day, I am responsible for me. If I make a mistake, I own up to it instead of blaming others, and fix it myself...instead of expecting others to.

We are more educated in History. (Which is why we know about how this country was founded and is meant to be.) Face it...most people think things are the way they were meant to be because that is what they have been told in school or seen and heard on TV. Those of us who read the word of our founding fathers know that this isn't true. We can make connections to history. Nazi German and the Soviets both took over the education system right away...this is the connection we make when we look at the Department of Education. These same governments attacked freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, which we make connections to. Most empires that have collapsed did so because they over expanded, we see this happening and make this connection.

The simple fact is, everything that has happened is not new. It has happened over and over throughout history, and if we don't change course we can predict exactly where we are going.

i'd give them the benefit of doubt and call them ignorant. just like were once.

 

[thuja]

something good must have happened then, before i got to school, because i was taught to question things, research, and speak up for what is right. and i had good parents. also, they had been through the second world war. i do not recall them telling misery stories, they were possitive, being grateful for good things.

Damn the Sheeple!!!

 

[RonPizzle]

I had someone tell me she would vote for Ron Paul, but she just doesn't think that he can win. Right now she's for Huckchuck. When I hear that one does not vote for someone that stands for exactly what one believes in, I go into this explanation of how you do not have to win the whole shabang to get credit for your ideas. People assume that elections are winner take all, which is certainly untrue. This explanation, and further insinuations of it, has worked well when a person says they just don't think RP can win it all.

 

[thuja]

don't let the stupid people drag us down. they are our challenge. we can effect changes.
eventually, there can be groups followed by more groups doing things the right way.

 

[ctnjason]

ive always said......

As long as i can remember, ive always said that the THREE things stupid people SHOULD NOT DO yet they do at alarming amounts are the following :

Breed

Drive

Vote

Its amazng that people have these rights just as equal as the educated

this must be some lack of confidence the individual has, needing to vote for the most popular, and not the one the individual really likes. guess people need to be more confidant, and vote the way they really want to. wonder wh they are so weak.
