What's with all the damn Ron Paul signs in the background?
Ya know, he's starting to be the candidate who's most working my last nerve. I'm seeing those dumb ass Ron Paul Revolution (with the "LOVE" highlighted :eyes: ) all over my city.

I want to smack the smug grin off the face of every one of the snot-nosed college kids who support him. I love how they are going to tax- subsidized state schools while supporting a guy who would do away with them given the chance.

1. The first time I saw one of those on a chain link construction fence
I thought it was for some rapper's new album. For real.

8. I'm partial to the "Hope for America" posters myself.
Edited on Tue Oct-30-07 10:35 PM by Fenris
Hope for what? No public utilities, human services, and free reign for multinational corporations over all aspects of existence? That's not hope, that's a fucking threat.

15. THAT is the part everyone misses...He's a Libertarian, after all.
Edited on Tue Oct-30-07 10:51 PM by Union Thug
The problem is that there are two kinds of Ron Paul supporters...anti-war repukes and pot smokers. Jodi Emery (Marc Emery's wife(?)) is promoting Ron Paul. If they understood the economic devastation that a Libertarian in the Whitehouse would cause, they would rethink their positions.

I'm all for full marijuana legalization and I'm all for peace. But, in addition to that, I'm a labor advocate. This is why Kucinich is the best choice..NOT pricks like Ron Paul.

19. Yet they never have a problem with him being anti-choice
Not very libertarian IMO.

2. They did that at our Edwards event in Florida a few months ago..
They are publicity leeches... they can't get their own coverage so they crash other people's parties...

11. I hope that's the case.
LaRouche used to do half hour long paid programs back in the '80s. They were hilarious.

5. I see them here also
which is scary because college kids are carrying them. I live in an area with two large colleges withing 10 miles of each other. Every time I see a kid carrying one I make sure they know he takes money from white supremacists.

10. Unfortunately, that might be a plus to them
There was a Ron Paul contingent when Sen. Obama visited my state 2 weeks ago. It looked like a cross between a frat party and a skinhead meeting. :scared:

21. My fear also -- clueless kids thinking they're both cool and smart...
messing with an important election. Something I read today described the whole thing as cult-like. This is a Ron Paul cult, not politics.

12. They are all over Philly.
Particularly on the rich boy college campuses such as Penn and Drexel.
