    are you suggesting once Ron Paul becomes president we will go back to the good ol' days of teaching our kids how to grow potatoes?

    I have heard people talking about how studies show that ever since Obama became president, this nation is producing less and less potatoes per year, and it is our children that are suffering from it.

    There's no such thing as Olympic Powerlifting. Weightlifting is an Olympic sport, but it's very different from Powerlifting.

    No not at all. Just speaking in terms of people not grasping the nose dive of our economy and the possible outcome if nothing changes in Washington.

    Santorum / Gingrich / Romney will take what Obama has done and tweak it with no real results.

    Paul will give everything a makeover. Change is scary but needed.

    Should watch this video before posting that.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDrxJhuapWE

    The "three of a Kind" ad is the most ran ad. It hits Romney where it hurts. I mentioned in the Ron Paul/Mitt Romney thread that Ron Paul is trying to be the only Romney alternative.

    22 years of lobbyist money and bribes couldn't move Ron Paul on his beliefs and neither will Mitt Romney.

    Well, in all my years on this board, I think this is my first 150+ page thread. I'd be just fine if it was only 75 pages and the posts still bore some relation to the thread title.

    Hey, speaking of years ago, remember when Dennis Kucinich was running for President and he had some true believers and everyone made fun of them because they kept saying, "But how do you KNOW he won't win the nomination? He very well could and he polls better in the Cleveland suburbs and Northern California, which means he is so electable!" Remember when small groups of fervent supporters said the same things about Lyndon LaRouche, Ed Clark, George Wallace, Strom Thurmond and Eugene Debs? (The last two are for Toycen to ask his elderly friends about.)

    Yep, for this election, Paulies are those people.

    Word on the street from numerous scientific sounding studies, historians and internet pollsters have determined that Ron Paul is destined to be our next president.

    well, people are talking about this in many of my social circles for the last 5 years at least, therefore it is accurate.

    do you deny this?

    With all due respect, yet another statement that is pure, absolute bull****. I grew up surrounded by people who were in the Great Depression, some as adults, and some as teenagers, but all poor and all with vivid memories of how it was like. Today is so far removed from that terrible era as to be science fiction to those that lived it.

    Do you ever give the slightest consideration to the possibility that your endless uninformed, emotional, and outright stupidly immature statements are hurting the campaign of Dr. Paul? Have you? Do you honestly believe that Dr. Paul would approve of what you are doing in this forum? I don't think he would. I think he would be embarrassed by what you write here, over and over and over again. You are obsessed, and you are doing nothing to help Dr. Paul win the White House, or anything else.

    Since this is a thread about The Republican Party's 2012 Presidential Primaries, and NOT an thread about Ron Paul and his obsessive fans, and since I didn't see a thread about it, I thought this worth posting. If someone else posted this, and I missed it, my apologies.

    Rick Santorum may have extreme views, but at least he describes them colorfully. The man who once likened homosexuality to “man on dog” sex caused a stir again Sunday by saying on ABC News’ This Week that John F. Kennedy’s 1960 speech about religious freedom made him want to vomit. Deploring JFK’s assertion that “the separation of church and state is absolute,” Santorum explained: “You bet that makes you throw up. What kind of country do we live [in] that says only people of non-faith can come into the public square and make their case?"

    http://www.slate.com/articles/news_...s_kennedy_s_speech_on_religious_freedom_.html

    What Jack Kennedy said in Houston to an audience of Christian ministers in 1960, when he was trying to become president, and his religion was considered an issue:

    I believe in a president whose views on religion are his own private affair, neither imposed by him upon the nation or imposed by the nation upon him as a condition to holding that office. I would not look with favor upon a president working to subvert the First Amendment's guarantees of religious liberty. Nor would our system of checks and balances permit him to do so. And neither do I look with favor upon those who would work to subvert Article VI of the Constitution by requiring a religious test—even by indirection—for it. If they disagree with that safeguard, they should be out openly working to repeal it.

    John F. Kennedy, 1960.

    Same link.

    The Republican Party should be ashamed of itself. That this slate of candidates are actually running for president is an outrage. The entire lot of them are an embarrassment to our political process, in my opinion. Not one of them is worth a tinker's continental damn.


    Bad news for the two GOP frontrunners:

    DETROIT — Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum crisscrossed Michigan Monday in a pre-primary frenzy as polls showed the former Massachusetts governor with a cushy lead in Arizona — and a narrow edge in the Wolverine State.

    The winner of this to-the-death duel? President Obama.

    As Romney and Santorum slugged it out for victory in Michigan, a Politico/George Washington University Battleground poll showed Obama’s approval rating jumping to 53%.

    He now leads Romney by 10 points in a head-to-head matchup, and Santorum by 11.
