Punishing the Paulians [Schweikert, Jones, Amash, Huelskamp]

That's funny - most of the people who don't like Rand are mad about his rhetoric, and slam that in spite of his voting record. I didn't like the Iran vote either, but like it or not, he's our best hope.

And that's exactly the attitude of 99% of democrats and republicans in supporting "their guy/gal . Congratulations, you're no different. The lesser of the evils pitch. Terrific. So you support how many persians being murdered, bombed, raped, tortured. The ends justify the means yes?

I'm not defending this sort of thing, but to play Devil's advocate:

1) PCOs do a lot more than just vote for candidates in general elections. If they didn't, then there truly wouldn't be any point in having PCOs (even if these pledges didn't exist) - they would just be regular, garden-variety voters, just like any non-PCO.

2) If you're going to be a PCO for a political party, it really doesn't seem too far out of line for the party to expect that you'll vote for their candidates (or that you will at least not vote for an opposing party). Getting their candidates elected is the whole point of political parties, after all.

That said, there's not really any way of enforcing these pledges. How are they going to know how (or even if) you voted for a particular office - unless you tell them yourself?

I agree with what you are saying. The party mentality is what bothers me. If someone gets elected to this position, I would hope that they would do their best without having to agree to voting party straight across the board. I guess I would be okay with it if the Republican and Democrat parties would just get it over with and merge so another party could get on the stage. Does that make me a hypocrite? Sorry for being somewhat off-topic. I'll stop now.

I'm sure you do. What's left with you people?

You people?

You would support anyone who says anything you want to hear.

Nope. I judge people by their actions and overall Rand has been doing great.

The reality is your boy IS a traitor certainly in the context of doing the right thing in supporting the only candidate that stood for liberty and that was his old man. Perhaps you were a secret romney supporter and enjoyed it when ol rand when on a show run by another traitor who hates Dr Paul and you support that. If that's what's happened to Ron Paul forums you've banned yourselves as people who stand up for liberty no matter what.

Rand DID support his father. Perhaps you were asleep.

As far as Ron is concerned, I would imagine that I supported him long before you ever heard his name. Rand is his own man, but I think he is doing quite well. Time will tell though and I am sure we all will be watching.

And there certainly can be an e in phoney. It's a variant. Look it up. Just like you and people like you are variants of the typical republican/democrat who have destroyed this great land . Make sure you expunge all records on the way out. PHONY.

My apologies on this one. From what I found, PHONY appears to be the spelling used in the U.S., while people in some other English-speaking countries prefer PHONEY.

My offers stand $500 for a direct score with tomato/rotten egg. Multiple scores get multiple checks/cash anyway you want it

This behavior should earn you a ban. I hope you reap the fruits of your labor.

No threats of violence or support for violence will be tolerated on these forums.

Take a break and consider why.. /temp ban

What really sucks is Boehner ran unopposed in his district, not even a Dem ran against him. His district is next to mine.

He better have an opponent in the next Primary. Then Boehner will have something to cry about.

Forget the primary. All the repubs in his district should throw the election and not vote for him. Addition via subtraction. Let the dem win and one of our problems is flushed away.
