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 ******ed is the average Republican primary voter?

Discuss all this and more!

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.

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 ******ed is the average Republican primary voter?
The average Republican primary voter is a racist with a 40 IQ.

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.
03-29-2011 , 11:08 AM
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.
03-29-2011 , 11:11 AM
I still think he runs, and Gary Johnson will step aside.
03-29-2011 , 11:14 AM
lol what do you mean "step aside"? I hope he doesn't, that'd be stupid. Two Ron Pauls on the stage >>>>> One.
03-29-2011 , 12:38 PM
Lolololol @ GJ stepping aside. Worst strategy ever.
03-29-2011 , 02:03 PM
+1 to what pvn said
03-29-2011 , 04:27 PM
How come PVN says he won't run, but will still somehow pwn the debates?
03-29-2011 , 04:31 PM
He's that good.


PS I hope they've solved the cell phone polling issues this time around.
03-30-2011 , 10:48 PM
i hope he at least debates with the frontrunners... i need a new avatar
03-31-2011 , 12:14 AM
Not a libertarian, but I hope he does run. He's a smart, highly educated guy who has actually worked in the private sector.

Plus, he's one of the few actual politicians who are serious about limiting spending.
