Just don't assume when you look at a crowd of people. It took me a long time to decide to finally jump on board with him, but two things really stood out.

1 - We're fucked if anyone else wins, but at least with Ron Paul, fewer people in other countries will die.

2 - Ron Paul is the first presidential candidate (with major exposure) who's been pushing the idea of an evil federal government that must be stopped (at least, in modern history). This can only help the anti-government movement....unless all those "anarchists" who come to NCOR are actually just liberal hippies who are more into the masturbatory protests than they are in actually decreasing the power of the government. Already, more people are exposed to the evils of the Federal Reserve, the IRS, the US military industrial complex, etc...than any radical campaign. Ron Paul supporters are rabid people who get shit done. A lot of the activists on IndyMedia are all talk. I love to death the friends I have made, but I left for a reason - there's no plan, no growth, and half of you are privileged white kids whose livelihoods aren't on the line here. Its easy for you to piss and moan and critique those of us who do take a risk, when you don't have to worry about the outcome.

Its like a pacifist telling an oppressed person not to respond in violence against their oppressor (a la Peter Gelderloos' "How NonViolence Protects the State").

Funny, this is looking a whole lot like Germany in the early 30's.

The whole country is falling a part so let's elect this Hitler guy because he's our last savior.

Sorry Spanky, but immigrant hatred, the loss of reproductive rights, the destruction of public education, not to mention the rest of the laundry list of the psychotic Ron Paul agenda and the fact that he is tied in with and has attended and spoken to the meetings of The Council Of Conservative Citizens and The Patriot Movement.

This whole "we're fucked if anyone else wins" crap is all part of the zombie Rondroid rhetoric.

If anyone is interested in seeing Ron Paul's congressional voting record, David Neiwert posted it here:
