I can understand how it may seem a little excessive the mass support for the good doctor and possibly turn off some who would question his leadership abilities or other stances on issues.
Hold it right there!
Mass support is only apparent-- but less than real --for two reasons:
1) Ron Paul's campaign makes use of the Internet. A few zealous supporters making many posts each does not translate into "mass support" it is just supposed to look like that.
2) This is an incumbent election year-- Democrats do not have primaries in which to vote-- and as is ALWAYS the case, the party of the incumbent cross-over to vote in the other party's primary. They do this in hopes of swaying the vote toward a candidate which CANNOT beat their own candidate-- and Ron Paul is that person for the Democrats.
That is to say Democrats are voting for Ron Paul now will vote for Obama in November.
With this point being made, I would like to understand the different viewponts of other candidates and how their policies and viewpoints strengthen U.S. as a nation and put us on a path off the beaten trail of the last 20 years or so.
To be upfront, I have to agree with about 95% of every one of his stances despite his position on unions. I am a union worker and see it as the only way to have a fair wage and rights in this country yet I am willing to sacrifice having an easier ride than to continue the status quo and let the chips fall where they may.
I see no other logical conclusion than to have this man voted president this year. I have my reasons, I would like to hear yours against or for..Thank you
I know a vote for Ron Paul is vote for Obama.
A vote for Romney is probably a vote for Obama-- polls show Romney would lose at present.
A vote for Gingrich... I think Obama would win, but if you are a conservative-- he is the only hope for you at present.
The issues, you see, do not matter unless your candidate can win-- an NOT ONE genuine conservative that I know, is supporting Paul. My conservative friends do not even discuss him-- but my liberal friends talk about him all the time; and yet will vote for Obama if the election is between Ron Paul and Obama.
