Seriously? We're doing fine??? The interest on our debt is hovering right around 100% of GNP, we're in debt up to our ears, the Fed is devaluing our money at an annualized rate of some 23%, the middle class is disappearing and the poverty rate is exploding and you thinm we're 'doing fine'??

No one denies that Ron Paul supporters are dedicated and enthusiastic.
But that doesn't win elections...evident by Iowa and NH.
I really don't understand this fear some of you have. You talk of Ron Paul as our savior and messiah...he is the ONLY one that can "save" us.
No one has used those words in my thread. Kindly refrain from putting words in the mouths of the members posting in my thread. Your courtesy and cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.

but the country isn't going to collapse just because Ron Paul doesn't get elected.
It's funny, I have Never seen any one call a person a savior or messiah, aside from the people that are against that person.
For all our sake let's hope that this is just the beginning of an increasing support base. Because if the establishment wins another cycle --- irrespective of which established party that may be --- it's over for us. We have very little hope of slowing down this plunge into collapse but the status quo --- of either flavor --- is zero hope.

That's fine if you don't get it, but I don't understand why you spend so much of your time flaming him?
Why don't you spend your time building up your choice of candidate besides putting down others?
I have never seen Outkast flame anyone. You are changing the definition of "flaming" and replacing it with the one for "Criticize".
This is also unfair. Many people "Flame" Obama for real and I don't see you saying "Why don't you spend your time building up your choice of candidate besides putting down others?"
So, its alright to "flame" or criticize someone as long as its not Paul?
Only he can... save us.
We would all be better off debating issues and not the level of support we have towards a candidate.
We get it, you don't like Ron Paul. There are quite a bit of issues I disagree with him on as well. But at least I am willing to listen and consider his views, rather than just stick my fingers in my ears screaming " wrong wrong wrong".

Save us from what? If Ron Paul had everything his way...end the fed and put us back on a gold standard...we become a third world country over night. Do you know what it means when we say we are on a gold standard??? Anyone who owns our debt can say "Hey...we want our payments in gold now"...and we don't have that gold to pay them. Prices for everything jumps sky high, the middle class just collapses...and the low income people starve...because Ron Paul would have eliminated all social programs.

Progressivism is an umbrella term for a political ideology advocating or favoring social, political, and economic reform or changes through the state.

Great then, lets take a step to the side then and we will debate issues that surround Paul.
Where do you want to start?
