Hey guys, former romney supporter here
Well i didnt think i would ever say this but ron paul is now my guy.
I never disliked ron paul, as a matter of fact what made me take a second look at ron paul is when i recognized Mitt and the rest of the guys taking some of his ideas.
I cant get over that Mitt just left like that!!!
Oh well Mitts out and paul's in.
Im hoping for a warm welcome!
EDIT: wow i didnt expect such a response! this is like the most active forum ive ever seen! So i guess i owe you a little more....
Im VERY into politics i love it! This isnt my first look at ron paul nor is it the first time ive been on this website. I have looked into just about every possible option. So here is alittle bit about why i decided to join your support for ron paul.
well i guess ill start by saying that i dont agree with everything Ron Paul says even though he has many great ideas. I agree with Dr.paul that iraq is more dangerous now then when we went in and that we should of never gone in. On the other hand, now that we have gone in and taken over the country what do we do? This isnt the first ime ive looked into Ron Paul, nor is it the first time ive been on this website. So i dont know if leaving iraq is the best idea nor do i think we should be there any longer then another 6 or so months.
But..... I have always praised Paul's ideas about abolishing the IRS and the CIA. I started looking into paul when i was watching fox and one of there guests said that PAul was the best choice for restoring the economy. Since then i have learned about the gold standard and how paul wanted to fix social security (something that drew me to Romney). I also caught the video on you tube of him talking to ben about the fed. I think that the CIA proved they were worthless on 9/11. And i like the idea of no income tax. What really drew me to romney was the idea that we needed to change Washington (Pauls message too, i know). I thought that Romney had a better chance of doing it and he seemed to have been risking more by saying so given his front running position.
However, MItt is gone and Paul is just as likeable to me.

Welcome -- To The Family Of RON PAUL Supporters
Vote RON PAUL 2008
____________
Absolutely wonderful you've decided to lend your voice. Waking up can be a slow process, sometimes it's hard to let dreamland go knowing what reality truly is. But as I said -- Welcome, and glad you're awake.
welcome
glad to have you
Welcome! The more Ron Paul supporters the better!
Now excuse me while I express my opinion to bigsurjune
You have the be of the same mentality of people who call any & everyone a troll!!! I don't f*cking get people like you.
Why the hell do morons like you work to drive people away???!!!!!
You are supposed to be convincing people to vote for Ron Paul? What about that do you not get?
I am so sick of this kind of bullsh*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn people like you belong on Jerry Springer!
1. I'm excercing my freedom
1. I'm excercing my freedom of speech.
2. What's wrong with a little debate?
3. I'm an individual. If you want collectivism, maybe you need to rethink who you're supporting.
4. I don't speak for Ron Paul.
Excercising freedom of hatred? What happened to the love in Rev
What happened to the LOVE IN REVOLUTION....
our message is to embrace everyone...
That's right! It's about
That's right! It's about time some of you people starting getting angry. Enough of the hippy love crap....
PAULITES *ARE* ANGRY AS HELL!!!
This whole movement started over the fact we are angry as hell... we are all totally united against what has become of the lousy two party system and what they are doing to our country....
And please dont denounce the hippy love crap - *I* was party of that movement that abolished the Vietnam War... if it wasnt for the hippie love crap, we may STILL be having hundreds of thousands of people killed in vietnam.... they did a good thing back then to rebel against the ESTABLISHMENT... and its still the SAME ESTABLISHMENT in place...
the peace movement died and LOOK WHAT HAPPENED.... another vietnam....
In essence, though they dont call themselves hippies.... the Ron Paul movement is modern-day hippies.... we want PEACE NOT WAR (sound familiar) and to smoke our weed and drop a little acid if we want to without being thrown in jail for it. (heh heh... did my stuff back then, too old now)
If you think the body-bag count is bad now - go want THE VIETNAM MEMORIAL - it will make you break down and cry when you see all the names of people who were killed for no good reason at all except oil
Welcome too, er 2!
Hiya sorryrom, want to welcome you, and thanks for letting us know your thoughts. By the way if Ron Paul were not here I might have voted for Romney as the lesser of evils. 'Course, actually I had not voted in 20 years and the only reason I registered this time is because I checked out some Ron Paul youtube videos at the urging of a friend and became completely inspired that we can actually return this country back to its intended path, prosperity and freedom, with nations as friends.
Just one note, there are a few emotional people onboard here that spew venom with reckless abandon, but the majority of us are thoughful intelligent people. So try not to let the few rabid ones get you down, just ignore them, they'll grow out of it some day as they gain more real life experience and/or get married, lol.
Welcome!
Welcome!
To all the Romney people,
To all the Romney people, TAKE A LONG HIKE!!!!
Sorry but everyone here that calls themselves a Ron Paul supporter knows what I'm talking about. Romney, his staff, and his "supporters" are NOT the type of Americans I want to associate myself with. You are what's wrong with our country!!!
You have a lot of hoops to jump through to change my mind....
your comment is rediculously
your comment is rediculously stupid!!! YOU are whats wrong with our movement!!! i would gladly lose your one vote to gain thousands of others that we NEED!!!
with that said....WELCOME TO THE REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!
Now YOU are a troll. Nobody takes a hike here...
We embrace everyone. I am a DEMOCRAT for Ron Paul and proud of it..... I was pounced on for saying I was a DEMOCRAT when I first came here... certain persons who are strong republicans told me to LEAVE...
We are all supporters of Ron Paul and we want everyone to hear his message and not ALIENATE anyone.... Romney had his appeal - he wanted change and expressed it - he disagreed with us over the WAR but still the more people hear Paul speak the more his message sinks in...
We dont want to alienate ANYONE even the 9/11 truthers....
I'm saying it's a little
I'm saying it's a little late!!!!
Besides, click on this guys name--nothing come up!!!
He's a phony, like Romney....
perhaps this time around but WHAT ABOUT THE TRUE ELECTION...
If Ron is around come election time as a third party candidate or by a MIRACLE the republican candidate, then you will have alienated a person who would vote in the GENERAL ELECTION for Paul....
Someone who has already voted AGAINST Paul to date is a potential voter come the REAL election in november....
If you alienate them, then you do Paul no good in the future!
OK, maybe you're right. But
OK, maybe you're right.
But I still think this guy is full of crap. Let him prove me wrong. Nothing wrong with a little debate.
Debate is fine, telling people to LEAVE OR GET LOST...
is not....
DEMOCRAT HERE FOR RON PAUL and proud of it....
I voted Democrat NOT for fiscal/economic reasons but to vote AGAINST the religeous right and their repression of civil liberties....
Now I have a candidate who I agree with the fiscal/economic values AND someone who doesnt want to repress civil liberties...
FREEDOM FOR ALL, GO RON GO... AND ECONOMIC SECURITY FOR ALL...
YOU, are NOT the majority of
YOU, are NOT the majority of RP supporters. Get off your high horse and ask yourself what would Ron do in a situation such as this?
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!

You need to stop speaking

I did comprehend it. I call myself a RP supporter. It's because I am.
You said-
"Sorry but everyone here that calls themselves a Ron Paul supporter knows what I'm talking about"
I don't know what your talking about. I don't agree. I actually find your rant counterproductive.
We need voters on our side, period. By your philosophy we will be a failure for all time since if someone isn't a supporter, they have another favorite and should never be allowed to join us.
Ridiculous. And again, don't speak for anyone else on this forum.
You're blind....
You're blind....
And you're wildly casting
And you're wildly casting blanket accusations and being offensive! Trolls disrupt as well as lie, and YOU seem to be the one disrupting things here!
True... nobody should be disrupting here... I get blamed....
all the time because I want Ron to run third party.... I dont think this continued belittling by the republican GOP is doing anything but hard to Ron Paul - THEY DONT WANT US and that is fine with me - let us take our voting elsewhere....
The republicans are doomed this year anyway. Even if Ron is a republican nominee for president he will loose just because of the republican stigma.... we need to drop the republican label - TOTALLY divorce ourself from that LOUSY FAILING SCUMBAG PARTY and run fresh and anew....
The republican party is HISTORY... with all the corruption, lies, deceit, embesselment, etc. etc. the public has lost TOTAL faith with them...
thank you Bush very much.... you did a bank-up job as a uniter!!
Read the guy's post, then
Read the guy's post, then click his name, it's empty like his post.
I'm not disrupting anything, I'm using my freedom of speech to call this guy out and I don't need any of you people stopping me from doing it.
The guy is a phony....
Look - not everyone agrees with all Ron has to say...
Lots of people have issues with some of his ideas - but its the major ones that draw us together - the economy and the war...
It could very well just be a
It could very well just be a glitch in the website ---- I've seen this happen before when I tried to track MYSELF! Don't jump to conclusions!
What state are you from? Did
What state are you from? Did you vote for Romney already? Little late to jump on board, don't you think?
Romney was a complete phony! I mean people from Massachusetts think he's a liberal--what more evidence do you need? Jay Leno said on national TV, people didn't know who was more liberal Romney or Kennedy? So I ask you, why jump on board with someone like Dr.Paul? Why not jump in bed with the rest of the phonies (McCain, Obama, Clinton)? It seems strange, and I have to raise the BS flag here.
Ron Paul is the polar opposite of Romney. Ron Paul is honest, direct, and a man of integrity. Romney is the complete opposite. So, that makes me question you because anyone to support Romney is either a phony or just plain stupid.
Now sir, which one are you???
Again, WHY ARE THE MITT FANS
Again, WHY ARE THE MITT FANS ACCOUNTS NOT SHOWING UP?
I'm questioning this...because I don't want to get hit in the balls...

Let's save this Republic while we have it!
I like gold. We all like gold.
Welcome to the gold standard!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My brother liked Paul. But didn't vote for him in Arizona because he thought Mitt had a better chance to win. There will be a lot coming over.
I think if Huckabuck would call it quits...We would swamp McLaim!!!!!!!!!

Welcome
Mitt was my second chocie; but I understand we need a president who is not CFR agenda; so I went with Ron.
On this forum, and this is true whenever you have thousands of folks -- people say things online that they would not say in person. So, please do not take offense at some of those folks who are more blunt and forceful in their comments.
With Mitt out -- there will now begin a serious debate about running as a third party candidate. Some will be forceful for -- others as passionate against.
The word "troll" is tossed around here by people who do not like what they are reading -- do not take those comments to heart.
You will notice a passion of anger against the current campaign leadership of the NHQ.
What happened was -- Ron hired some of his longtime personal/political friends to lead his campaign -- they in turn brought in others -- some relatives were hired -- just a mess. Some double dipping going on in other areas of spending - just a real mess --- the big problem is that not one of these folks ever succesfully ran or won a presidential primary before.
Some of these folks worked very hard on his 88 campaign which received around 1% of the vote. So they do not know how to win.
Anyways -- emails not answered -- phone calls not returned -- the story goes on -- you will quickly read their stories --
Many volunteers have walked away out of anger -- mad that we raised millions -- that were spent poorly -- thousands of volunteers spending hundreds of hours -- for 3% of the vote.
The bottom line is if Ron wants to run a competitive 3rd party run -- he needs to restructure his campaign leadership, and bring in people who have won - and know how to win.
We are grateful for the effort the campaign leadership has put in -- try tried -- they are good people that have spent years fighting for the Constitution -- but expecting them to win -- when they never had before -- was expecting a Lawn Mower Repairman to do Open Heart Surgery.
Let us pray Ron Paul can make these changes soon -- because we need to be about our business of saving the Constitution.
I notice most of the
I notice most of the complaing you mention from people like yourself.
We are trying to welcome new people and make them feel optimistic about Ron Paul.
Do you think a long post full of your personal complaints is the way to do it?
Thank you
Thank you for your comments.
I am by nature a very positive person. This is in conflict in how I see the Constitution hanging by a thread (s). I am very concerned that our civil liberties are going going gone.
We have lost so many of those civil liberties -- by degrees --over the last 8 years. I shudder to think where we will be in another 8 under another cfr agenda president.
I reread my comments -- I think they were accurate -- I thought sharing with him "where we are at" was appropriate. I know when I walk into a meeting that is already in progress -- I appreciate a "heads up" on where the meeting is at in her session.
I did not gloss over some of the more harsh tones of this forum -- they are here -- they are real -- I just sought to place them in perspective.
Thank you again for your comments. Thank you for your hard work on the Ron Paul campaign, and for your efforts to preserve our Constitution.
Welcome to the party!
You are truly principled and we're glad to have you believing we're electable. The alternatives are ridiculous as many people believe. I know "WOW really?!". America is not done for, but it needs your help, hell it needs everyone's. Please continue to fervently help us. We need all the help we can get from everyone.
The democrats have done a great job of hoodwinking the country into silly placidity. We need to explode with the truth. We need to be huge.
With your help, one by one, America will see the light. Power be with you and your friends! Truth wins in the end.
t!
Welcome
Your not expected to agree with everything. We'll take you as you are.

Glad you seem to have found
Glad you seem to have found a new home here. I'll try to adress your Iraq issue for you.
1. I understand your bieng Hesitant about leaving Iraq in less than 6months. It's really a non issue though. Bush will be in office longer than that and he will never withdraw the troops. You'll get more than 6 more months even if Ron gets into office.
2. Wanting to stay in Iraq is becoming a moot issue. The thing people tend to miss is that we can't afford it anymore. Wether you would want to stay or not and wether the idea seemed like the best idea, it's just not feasable. We are going bankrupt and at the rate this war is eating our money we have no choice but to leave or be sucked under.
This is why I think Ron Paul is the right answer for both positions on the war. We don't have to agree and can respect both sides of the issue. Pro and Anti war people can both get together if the fate of our nation is at risk.
What we want to do and what we are capable of just don't match up sometimes.
I hope that gives you some new perspective and once again, welcome.

Dr. Paul is a foreign policy expert, that's the President's job. He is a wise man and he wouldn't be applying for a job he had no clue about. The country is also going bankcrupt and Ron Paul has been talking about cutting the spending for tens of years.
"The people who say there will be a bloodbath are the ones who said it would be a cakewalk, it would be slam dunk, and that it would be paid for by oil. Why believe them? They've been wrong on everything they've said. Why not ask the people -- (interrupted by cheers) -- why not ask the people who advise not to go into the region and into the war? The war has not gone well one bit." - Dr. Ron Paul in a September debate
Regards from Finland.
P.S. You Americans have a great Constitution. Be proud of it.
Im so pleased about the
Im so pleased about the international support for Dr. Paul. It truely warms my heart to see his message knows no borders.
P.S.- I hear you have an amazing goth/black metal scene over there in Finland...How is it there?
Oh, LOL it's healthy
I'm doing a music video with them. Oddly enough. It's pertaining directly with U.S. affairs and perceived desires. Unbelievably funny. But not...... here it's all tongue in cheek. The reality still is omnipresent.
I don't have a lot of
I don't have a lot of personal experience of that scene but sure it can't go unnoticed here. I guess they're doing great.
Liberty is very appealing.
Hea, wecome.
Hea, wecome.
Yeah, I dont think leaving Iraq will cause chaos. If Paul is running against a Democrat canidate then the Iraqi's will probably know what way the wind is blowing and will have to stand up for their own nation and become functional. There is nothing like he threat of tyranny to motivate people. Iraq would be free to choose if they want to even be a nation at all.. they may separate into 3 independent nations.
Also, you know Paul does have a plan to fight terrorism.. its pretty decent actually. Instead of invading nations and all the trouble with changing government, and accidents with innocents, fighting insurgency, etc, Paul's plan is to use a Letter of Mark and Reprisal to hunt terrorists the same way we hunted pirates. (who are similar to terrorists) Essentially what this would do is allow us to unleash our own version of terrorists like the mercenary force Blackwater (or any other group) who then can hunt Al Qaeda anywhere in the world they may run but at their own peril. (this means no more hiding in Pakistan) It's absolutely constitutional and allows us to fight terrorism, make our country safe, and keep our liberties all at the same time.
Most definatly a warm
Most definatly a warm welcome and here is to many more like you! I did some more research on romney and he wasnt TOO far off on some things...i just could never trust him...he changed his possitions a lot. If i had a second choice(you know i dont) it would have been Romney.
glad to see ya
we'll do it together
Warm Welcome to ya
Glad you joined us. As previously mentioned in a comment to another former Romney blogger - we can be an odd bunch but we're good hearted & well intended. Hope you find a happy home here with us. Thanks for joining the Ron Paul army - we need you. Don't be shy, we got a leader with a great agenda & a country to save.
Fair amount of 'truthers' in
Fair amount of 'truthers' in the Paul camp.. but as I see it truthers.. at a core level just don't trust the government .. that much I can agree with them on.. I don't trust our government either.. its just the fine details we argue about. ;-)
I almost like the truthers now.. they are very passionate about Ron Paul and his message of freedom at least.
