Doesn't really make a difference does it? I assumed Gingrich was just holding out for a possible VP bid to keep himself in the news, and Paul is just out to make a point really so he'll probably continue.

Gingrich is selling books at this point. Crazy Uncle Ron probably still thinks he's in it.

Gingrich is spending Sheldon Adelson’s money, not his own. As long as Adelson keeps throwing him money, Gingrich will keep spewing whatever stupidity Adelson wants him to spew.

Paul has no reason to get out of the race, in a brokered convention (which is looking almost certain), he will hold a LOT of power. Tons of stupid "libertarian" crap will get on the official Republican platform because of it.

They know that the longer it goes the less chance they have to get Obama out.

It is common sense... the only thing Gingrich and Paul are doing is continuing to alienate even more GOP voters/make them not want to vote for the eventual nominee by throwing mud all over.

Who do you think a GOP voter is going to believe... Ron Paul/Gingrich bad mouthing the eventual nominee or Obama bad mouthing them during presidential election?


They are making it way too easy for Obama...

Interesting how every one of the comments is backing Ron Paul.

Spin-NN conducts some seriously flawed research.

"Stay in the race, Ron Paul. The conversation is educational. The others are pawns of the global corporatocracy whether they be Republican or Democrat. Please keep the issues in the forefront. No wonder the youth are as attracted to you as many of us independent voters... The youth see "The Hunger Games" as the future to avoid."

Ah, as immature and supported by personal opinion as ever. Even took the bait for a tongue in cheek jab at a media outlet.

Ron Paul supporter status confirmed.

Wow, it's my personal opinion that all the comments for that poll are people who support Ron Paul?

Virtually none of what you said made any sense.

Opinionated, from the Latin stem opinor, opinari, opinatus sum meaning to THINK


Yes we understand that Ron Paul supporters do not believe in following the U.S. constitution. We already know that they do not believe in separations of powers... and want Ron Paul to interpret the constitution and apply it with no other opinions receiving any merit.

We already know how they feel about the Constitution giving the Supreme Court the final say... the founders made a mistake and it should of been the monarchy of Ron Paul instead.

Me trolling?

Ron Paul is part of the legislative branch... running for the executive branch... but sounds like he is applying for the judicial branch.

He is basically trying to destroy the separations of power that has developed over hundreds of years with the U.S. experiment in governance... he wants to turn us in a society that he thinks is right with nothing that can stand in his way.

Any founding father would think he was a joke.

"It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." -Daniel Webster

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Are you now trying to pretend like you were trolling all along to not look so stupid?

Or are you just basing more facts on your opinion?

how many primaries has Ron Paul won?

seems to me all these rabid supporters of his need to get off their computers and actually go vote.

i mean, i know they are blind to reality, but they should be able to understand that you actually need to go to the polls!

One needs only to look to Alexander Hamilton's Federalist Papers to understand the tyranny of the majority and its effect on great candidates like Ron Paul.


I assume you're familiar with the Federalist Papers?

You guys need to cut Vega some slack, he's 16. We all knew everything when we were 16, we all went through this phase, give him a bit of a pass. He'll grow out of it.

So sign 2 that you are a real Ron Paul supporter and not a troll.

Ignore anything that goes against your ideology as "stupid irrational"... does not even deserve merit. Just wrong.

Then go on using the Federalist papers as support... something that is arguing for a strong central government... absolute opposite of Ron Paul's platform.

lols Vega cracks me up.

Now you are contradicting yourself. But of course you don't realize that. Nor do you understand my reference to the Federalist Papers, which is why I didn't direct the question to you.

No I understand what you are doing and not wasting my time... I am just playing with you right now for fun seeing how far I can get you to run.

You are doing what kids do... looking for anything that will support your position... you run to google do a quick search and find something you think helps you without even knowing the topic.

It is called being dishonest.

When I said opinion, I was referring to the opinion you posted. The quote.

Someone thinking Ron is a great candidate, or saying that people want to avoid certain visions of the future, are opinions. You, like many Ron Paul supporters, can't seem to differ opinion from fact. That wouldn't be such a problem if you didn't preach individual freedoms while cramming those OPINIONS of yours down everyone else's throats.

How does it feel to become what you hate? You know, the idea that people are too controlling so you try to liberate them by.... telling them what to think.

Everybody who is in a state that allows anybody to vote in a primary, regardless of how you're registered, should vote for Santorm.

Ron Paul or New the Professor would be better but they're too much of a stretch.

Actually what I find pathetic is all the crying that Ron Paul followers have done... now we get to see him in the news all the time when he is completely irrelevant.

It is pretty lame seeing every primary come out and they have to include Ron Paul's 3-5% just so their station does not get bombarded with Ron Paul fanatics screaming the media is out to get him...

America has said no to the Ron Paul ideology... get over it.

I'm all about the humor factor, and I find Gingrich and Paul to no longer be funny. On the other hand, Santorum might not be as funny without them squeezing his nuts in this race. Choose choose choose...

I think Santorum v Romney is hilarious. With the two additional buffoons we aren't seeing the whole potential. Paul can stay though he matters little.

I'm all about the humor factor, and I find Gingrich and Paul to no longer be funny. On the other hand, Santorum might not be as funny without them squeezing his nuts in this race. Choose choose choose...

My concern is that if Gingrich drops out, then Santorum might get enough of a boost to where he's actually winning this thing, and he'll have less compulsion to open his stupid mouth. Plus, eery once in a while, Gingrich still manages to drop a steamer on the conversation.

Chances are though that if Gingrich leaves, then his voters just won't show up rather than switching to Santorum, so it's probably safe for the funny if Gingrich leaves. I'll still miss him.

I have to believe that most of those folks either:


a) are Anti-Romney, so they're tired of Paul/Newt/Rick splitting their votes

or

b) are Pro-Romney and would like all THREE to drop out, not just two.

Heh. The separation was not "developed". It is a main part of the initial design.

You left out the most important option and the one that is probably the most valid.

C) Anti Obama, so they just want the part being united behind one candidate and the two who are obviously not going to win they want out. I think a huge majority of the GOP just doesnt want the party damaged any more by the internal bickering.

It has evolved and is still evolving as our society changes.

An example... the Supreme Court ruled in 1831 that the Cherokee could not be removed from Georgia and the laws Georgia were passing were repugnant on the Constitution... Andrew Jackson refused to enforce the laws... and actually sent them on the trial of tears, escorted by the U.S. military.

This is the danger when the separations of powers break down...

"John Marshall[chief justice of SCOTUS] has made his decision; now let him enforce it!" - Jackson

Another is recent times... when George Bush passed some crappy legislation that gave him unilateral power to invade countries... instead of congress... we invade an innocent country.

The GOP


Once the party of "No", has now become the party of bickering about nothing

Uhm, what legislation is it that Dubya passed?

You do know that it was Congress that passed the resolution authorizing the invasion of Iraq, right? It was pretty specific and not plural.

I feel the same way about Ron Paul that Gandhi felt about Christians.
