1. Trolls. n/t

[Poll_Blind]

2. It's nothing compared to the round-the-clock Palin fixation a while back.

Pretty typical for DU, esp. when congress isn't in session, to just become gripped by topics du jour.

Does it have to "mean something"?

:shrug:

3. It means the DEMS are failing to provide a viable message...

When there is a vacuum... the outside will rush in to fill the void.

The DEMS need to get busy.. and FAST....

5. I've wondered that myself..

particularly in light of the fact he has no chance to win the Republican nomination. Could it be Paul's stance on the WOD and the never ending ME wars are attractive to many liberals leaving some around here concerned?

[LoZoccolo]

6. I can't speak for the others, but I posted mine because

I went on Google News to see if there were any stories about Ralph Nader and that one came up.

[Bonobo]

8. Nader-stalking. nt

[LoZoccolo]

12. Are there people who post negative stories about Obama almost every day? n/t

[Bonobo]

14. Could be there are, yeah. Are those things equivalent?

Seems to me that one is the President and the other is not.

Obsession vs. Concern

[Starry Messenger]

7. That Ron Paul is a douchebag.

That's what it means.

[uppityperson]

9. Why does Ron Paul not get a fair trial?

sorry

[lib2DaBone]

10. We nee a DEM Tea Party. Not Ron Paul, Not Ralph Nader....

[Prometheus Bound]

11. Sort of a DU inside joke at this point.

19. A couple days ago there were a brazillion "why" threads, simplIy kicking with a joke

I agree with you here.

13. He is a Racist, Republican Triangulator.

A lot of young people like him because they hear him speak against the war. They think his "You can do whatever you like" attitude will enable them to smoke weed, but they don't understand that this same attitude will enable corporate pigs to run roughshod over all of us.

They also don't understand his racist past, and his dispicable accomodations to hate groups.

It helps to study his history, once one does, one is quite appropriately horrified.

15. The whole "let's UNITE with his supporters" thing is the shit I don't get.

Those laissez-failists would never unite with me, AT ALL, on economic issues, and . . . well . . . right back at them, because I'll be goddamned if I'm going to stand for their horseshit message of "Capitalism is teh awesome, leave the hard-working CEOs, Corporations and the producer class alone, make the markets freer and quit spewing typical lib slacker sour grapes about losing in the economic game of life".

Not to mention that there are a few other things about him I'm just not into, like his anti-choice stance, his anti-universal-health-care stance, his "abolish the IRS" thing . . .

Most every "libertarian" I've ever talked to is a straight-up "Denial-ican", like it says in the cartoon. There is never a single thing about them that's progressive whatsoever. They all believe that there are only "individual visions" of America and "don't even suggest that I'm not an island and that I or anyone else needs any kind of help. That denies me MY hard work and talent!" At least with a Republican, I know what kind of asshole I'm getting. You can't want freedom on some things and suppression of progress on others.

Like I said before, I have less than zero respect for people who value profit over humanity and human rights. I have zero respect for people who cheerlead the demise of American labor's progress, as long as they're not the ones regressing. No matter what collar you wear, we're all in this together and function as a unit whether you choose to believe that or not. And if it makes me a non-progressive that I won't stand with someone who needs to stop being a damned toddler with their steadfast cling to Reaganomics, then so be it.

16. A distraction.

Haven't you heard the Good News? He's against the war and for Weed, so he's our man.

Never mind that on every other issue he runs from batshit-insane to Authoritarian.

He provides that needed outlet for the flighty, mythical "Swing Voter" (now called "the Independent") so they can tell themselves they did something good when in reality they fucked up the works.

[ThoughtCriminal]

17. Palin is gone. - nm

[L. Coyote]

18. It is clearly a conspiracy to lead the herd of people doing

searches for "Ron Paul" to DU :rofl:

[USA_1]

20. Ron Paul Supporters and Wall Street Protests

Where are the libertarians and Paul supporters to demand that the protestors carry weapons in order to ward off police and to exercise all of their rights?????

[Puregonzo1188]

21. Ron Paul is confusing to a lot people.

He's against the war, the drug war, seems to be right on civil liberties, and he has kind of all around anti-establishment vibe which is why I think his supporters always show up to Occupy Wall Street or Anti-war protests.

He's also a crackpot free marketer beyond belief, vehemently anti-choice, and possibly quite homophobic and racist--which is why I think his supporters always show up at Tea Party protestors.

In terms of the war and what not there isn't really an equally as prominent individual with those positions, yet the other half of his policies are deeply antithetical to what most of us believe, so I think the end result is confusion.

Personally, I don't much think about him.
