Why Ron Paul Supporters Should Vote For Bernie Sanders

[HankRicther12]

That's convenient, since the same applies to you.

100% of his posts here are in support of Bernie Sanders. In 2008 and 2012 when Ron Paul was running for president, he never made his way here. But now we're supposed to think that his support for Bernie Sanders has something to do with being a Ron Paul supporter?

The same applies me? Lol. I'd be willing to bet I donated far more money to Ron Paul in 2012 than you, that's not including the money I spent on signs, stickers, etc outside of my official campaign contributions. I also likely convinced far more people to vote for him than you and I was a delegate. But, you do have beat in one area, I did not spend the bulk of my time on an internet forum preaching to the choir so I could have an impressive post count, how pathetic I am.

Bernie Sanders is worse than Hillary Clinton and Bush imo.

RAND PAUL 2016

Oh. He's not a "strict" socialist. I guess that means ... what, exactly? He's some kind of half-assed "non-strict" socialist?

IOW: He's no different from just about every other Democrat or Republican ("more government, more government, more government ...").

Thanks, but no thanks.

He is a "democratic" socialist, whatever the heck it means - http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?479166-Bernie-Sanders-Vox-Interview

One thing I will say for Bernie is that at least he's closer to Ron Paul on the issues than Trump is.

His brand of "socialism" is simply trying to return America to a more true democratic republic, instead of the oligarchy which it is today. If anyone is interested, this Sanders subreddit explains his platform well.

No offense, but democracy is communism's slightly less ugly cousin, and the less of it America has the better. I've read through Sanders' platform and followed him a bit during his tenure as a U.S. Senator, and frankly speaking, I'd sooner vote for Marco Rubio (whom I absolutely detest) before I'd vote for Sanders.

You should take this nonsense over to The Daily Kos, they are more your style.

If Rand is the repub nominee I will vote for him no matter who the dems put up.. Same with trump.. But if it's a Bush Vs sanders, I will vote for sanders. If it's Bush vs Clinton, I won't vote

I kinda agree with that. I really have no commonality with Sanders on 90% of the issues, but if it's Bush, I will vote Sanders.

I think I can finally come out of the closet on this one

I'm really not a huge fan of Sanders at all, but I would highly consider voting for him over Bush.

lol Love that movie. Truth be told, Bernie Sanders is probably the worst candidate running with maybe the exception of Hilary Clinton.

Bush may be worse. Even Bernie isn't for open borders, or so he says.

I don't think I trust him on that part, I don't think there is any kind of protectionism left in the Democratic Party, and he would have far too much to gain with open-borders given his policy ideas mirror those of many South American banana republics. Granted, I'd probably put Bush at least equal with Sanders now that I think about it, but I'd sooner stay home or vote 3rd party than pick between Sanders and Bush.

How many additional ~votes for Bernie would they represent if they all did?

 

[Occam's Banana]

You're really judgmental, for a banana.

You have to be, when you're a banana. It's the only way to avoid turning into an oblong lump of mushy goo ... (you know, like Bernie Sanders ... )

Not my video, but I thought it was nicely done. It gives some of the big reasons for Bernie Sanders earning my vote this election.

By the way: Bernie Sanders is not a strict socialist like most presume. Just look at the Socialists view of Bernie Sanders on this reddit page:

His brand of "socialism" is simply trying to return America to a more true democratic republic, instead of the oligarchy which it is today. If anyone is interested, this Sanders subreddit explains his platform well.

A democratic republic does not equate to mob rule. The minority, or the individual's, rights are every bit as important as that of the mob's. So, if the mob decides it covets someone else's wealth and all decide to take it, under a republic, that isn't ok at all.

A democratic republic most certainly is not about using government to steal from your neighbor to fill your own pocket; just because you are too lazy to rob them yourself.

Sanders is all about wealth redistribution.

I think most of us would rather vote for anyone instead of Bush, its almost as if the election was designed that way.

 

[phill4paul]

I'd rather...

Erowe hardly ever posts here anymore. I wish he would post more.

[puppetmaster]

No, instead Ron Paul supporters should VOTE for the guy Ron Paul is endorsing and voting for....

Rand Paul 2016 for PEACE

I guarantee you that if Ron did not see peace, freedom and the return to a great America in Rand, Ron paul.would not endorse Rand. That is how strong Ron is.
