Ron Paul 2012 Containment Thread

ITT we discuss all things Ron Paul 2012.

Will he run?

Does he have a chance?

How will the media treat him?

How will his fellow candidates treat him?

How will he perform in the debates?

Will his ability to raise a ton of money matter?

Will it be more difficult to marginalize him now?

Just how retarded is the average Republican primary voter?

Discuss all this and more!

Re: Ron Paul 2012 Containment Thread

In order to prevent anyone from accidentally believing this and possibly thinking that I might be "trolling", I wish to state up front that the following is intended to be an over-the-top obvious humor piece.

Probably, but anyone who supports him or votes for him is a racist.

Yes, the majority of the people in this country are racists and furious that an African American is in the White House. They will flock to the polls to get a racist who supports their views in.

Quote:
How will the media treat him?
The racist media will ignore his obviously racist past, claiming that there is no factual basis for it.

Quote:
How will his fellow candidates treat him?
His fellow racist candidates will also ignore his obviously racist past, feeling no need to make excuses to racist Republican voters.

Quote:
How will he perform in the debates?
Having the greatest history of racism of all the Republican candidates, he will have great appeal to the racist masses of Republican voters and crush in them.

Quote:
Will his ability to raise a ton of money matter?
Yes, all the racists giving him their money will certainly help.

Quote:
Will it be more difficult to marginalize him now?
Absolutely. In 2008, no one knew an African American would actually win, but now the racist swell in response to Obama's presidency will overwhelm any attempts to marginalize the leading racist candidate.

Quote:
Just how retarded is the average Republican primary voter?
The average Republican primary voter is a racist with a 40 IQ.

Re: Ron Paul 2012 Containment Thread

I thought it was 100% that he'd run - he's messing about in NH and Iowa now. Gary Johnson entering makes it a bit less likely that Ron runs, but I still think he will.

Anyways, we already have a Ron Paul containment thread.

Re: Ron Paul 2012 Containment Thread

He probably will run. It's what he does, and it's very obviously the best way he's found so far to get the message out.

I still think he runs, and Gary Johnson will step aside.

Re: Ron Paul 2012 Containment Thread

lol what do you mean "step aside"? I hope he doesn't, that'd be stupid. Two Ron Pauls on the stage >>>>> One.

Re: Ron Paul 2012 Containment Thread
