I think Ron Paul can win the Presidency

of Nigeria. I don't know what most Nigerians think of The Federal Reserve System, Gold Standard or the works of Ludwig von Mises, but they are with him on this:

Same-sex sexual activity is punishable by death by stoning in the 12 states that have adopted Shari'a law, and by up to 14 years imprisonment throughout Nigeria. There is no legal protection against discrimination. Very few gays are out, and violence against LGBT people is frequent. Legislation is pending to criminalize same-sex marriage throughout Nigeria.

1. I think Somalia is more his style

Weak central gov't

[JustAnotherGen]

2. Thanks for the laugh!

Sad but true.

[BootinUp]

3. lol nt

[russspeakeasy]

4. I would contribute to his run for President of Texas.

[Jazzgirl]

17. Oh heyull no!!!

[tooeyeten]

5. I was thinking

"of the Southern States" or "C Street."

[A Simple Game]

6. Why are so many President Obama defenders posting about Ron Paul all of a sudden?

I'm starting to think he is the Republican candidate you fear the most.

Your actually afraid of him, aren't you? You realize that he is the one Republican that can actually take votes away from President Obama.

[Charlemagne]

7. I think it is because

1. He is a/the front runner right now in Iowa.

2. His economic policies would make the Gilded Age look like a church picnic

3. Youre correct, some of the social stuff and foreign policy appeals to a sizable percentage of democrats.

[treestar]

8. Only at first blush

Once the left wingers see the other things he stands for - and that is the information we would spread on a message board - he'll lose that initial impulsive support.

You are right that the left does have many impulsive people who will react on hearing just one thing. But that does not mean you can manipulate them forever.

[JoePhilly]

9. Because we want him to win Iowa ...

and totally tie the GOP into KNOTS!!!

And then, after Romney wins NH, and either Gingrich or (please God!!) Santorum wins SC ... we go to Virgina ... where ONLY Romney and Paul are on the ballot!!!!

And the implosion of the GOP continues into maybe March or April ... with endless debates and idiotic statements from the bunch of them week after hilarious week ...

OH ... and the best part would be if Paul runs as an independent (he won't. but I can hope) ... the GOP splits some more.

No sane Democrat is voting for Ron Paul ... unless they are very, very high.

[sufrommich]

10. What an odd thing to post. Aren't you

afraid of a right wing nutcase being elected president?

[A Simple Game]

11. Yes I am and apparently so are many others here.

What gets me is seeing every thread about Ron Paul started by well known President Obama defenders who then complain about all of the trolls posting about Ron Paul. It isn't trolls doing the posting, it is them! Isn't there anything else to discuss?

I really think they are afraid of him.

[arely staircase]

16. So Ron Paul vs Obama in a general election, for whom would you vote? nt

[quinn-the-innuit]

20. Will I be penalized for telling you the truth?

Because I know one thing: I will NEVER again vote for Obama. NEVER! I simply do not agree with his aggressive military adventures one iota. I voted for him last time with extreme trepedidation; I was disgusted by his pledge to increase troop strength in Afghan. but I thought perhaps he was lying to appeal to swing voting maniacs who love to blow things up real good. Nope. He meant what he said. For the first time in history, a politician told the truth.

Ron Paul's non-interventionalism appeals to me greatly. I think if we could stop these wars (and yes, there is still more than one conflict going on right now, despite what we are told by our minders), plus close all those military bases, it would be enough to allow the states to remain solvent. Everything has been bled dry--local and federal. I blame the wars.

However, I am not a libertarian in the least. The only reason Paul doesn't scare me is that his power is as commander in chief and not as a legislator. So I don't fear him removing Social Security and Medicare. Those are programs I would never touch with a ten-foot pole.

[ellisonz]

23. Ron Paul's non-interventionisim...

...is based on a White Supremacist view of the world in which there is no order but might (I'm holding my tongue).

Someone should ask Ron Paul about WWII...

You really should review his actual positions:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Ron_Paul

Ron Paul is a fascist.

[arely staircase]

28. Ron Paul is a state's rights Republican who opposes the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

his version of non-interventionism would go so far as to ban any humanitarian aid to poor people in any country, including this one.

That's who you are supporting?

[moriah]

18. Welcome to DU! Enjoy your stay!

[quinn-the-innuit]

21. Enjoy yours.

[bigwillq]

26. Hello

Welcome to DU!

[moriah]

29. Oh, I've enjoyed mine awhile. Yours, however, appears to have been rather short...

"Posting Priviledges Revoked."

Doesn't quite have the same ring as tombstoned, but yeah...

[Galraedia]

12. We don't fear him.

Ron Paul supporters think everyone who doesn’t support him fears him like they fear getting abducted by aliens, again.

[ellisonz]

24. "like they fear getting abducted by aliens"

You owe me a new keyboard and a Lemonade Vitamin Water

[arely staircase]

13. Because it is fun.

And Ron Paul certainly is NOT "the one Republican that can actually take votes away from Obama." Any of them will take somebody's vote away from Obama. The question is who will do it the most in a cumulative sense. That is the one I'm afraid of. I'm not sure who that is but I'm damn sure it ain't Ron "let's execute the queers" Paul.

[JTFrog]

14. Why are so many President Obama bashers posting about Ron Paul all of a sudden?

I'm starting to think he is the Republican candidate they like the most.

You realize that the only votes that he can take away from President Obama are votes from ignorant assholes who somehow think that voting for this racist piece of shit will teach the rest of "us" and President Obama a lesson?

[killbotfactory]

19. As long as it's individual states doing it, he's cool with it. nt

[arely staircase]

22. yep, that's the libertarian idea if liberty - if Mississippi wants to hang people for being gay

or dating outside their race - then the federal government would be trampling lady liberty herself to stand it its way. and this drug war stuff that they think will win over some liberals, well guess what? the libertarian/ron paul position is to get rid of the federal drug laws but leave it up to the states. fine and dandy in califorinia i suppose, but wouldn't affect texas one bit. you'd still go to jail if caught with enough weed or any amount of other illicit drugs. wouldn't change things one fucking bit. they are state's righters, no more, no less.

[ellisonz]

25. Ron Paul has a pre-1861 mindset. n/t

[99Forever]

27. Perfect...

... when does he leave to start campaigning?


OH!!!...



Forgot to add:

Can he please take Michele Bachmann with him to run for VEEP?


That is all!
