Why Ron Paul Makes People Mad

[joepole]

>None of those fake ass republican party hacks are gonna change anything and ya damn well know it.

Neither will Ron Paul

>Paul can defeat Shrillery,

Hilary is entirely unelectable, anyone can easily beat her.

>but he must win the nomination before he can win the general election. But that aint gonna happen if ya dont support him now in the primaries and the caucuses.

It's not going to happen, anyway.

Well I don't understand the purpose of this caucuse crap, not everyone is voting. The way I understand it is that a group of god knows who is determining who we can vote for. Who is these people?
Caucuse:
1. U.S. Politics. a. a meeting of party leaders to select candidates, elect convention delegates, etc.
b. a meeting of party members within a legislative body to select leaders and determine strategy
Now I say again who is these people that get to tell us who we can vote for or for better terms that narrow the choices down. I say let them all run and let the voters their self narrow it down. To me that is just like the government tell us that some of the candidates we can't vote for.

well for the most part.. not "everyone" votes in any election.. but that's by choice.. usually with these primaries etc.. you have to be a registered republican or democrat, and vote for your respective candidate. Some states do have open primaries, where anyone can vote for any affiliation candidate.

Then you get into the whole delegate thing.. and I'm a bit fuzzy on that as well.

These have nothing to do with who is allowed to be on the ballot, they're about who is which party's candidate. You can get on the ballot if you want, you just have to get a few million people to sign you up.

Thanks for the tip there howela.

This is in response to Fox news excluding Ron Paul from their next debate.
even though Ron Paul is currently tied with Huckabee at 11% in some of the most recent polls in New Hampshire. Ron Paul is also polling higher than Guiliani and Thompson in these same polls.


on a side note.. anyone find it interesting that the price of oil since 2002 has gone from some $30/barrel to $100

where in 2002 the value of gold per ounce ranged from $270 - $350 in U.S. Dollars

and in 2007 the value of gold per ounce ranged from $610 - $830 in U.S. Dollars

what if anything does this say of the spending power of the U.S. Dollar currently ?

I noticed the swipe at FOX as this was from the RP site and they in their announcement use the "fair and balanced" tag line of FOX news.
