[release]The young people of today love them some Ron Paul. He’s like the Kelly Clarkson of GOP candidates. Hell, he’s so much like Kelly Clarkson, she endorsed him. However, until now, many people have attempted to just brush off this youth support as nothing but a bunch of stoners. An endorsement he received today might sting a little more though. It comes from the 19 year old nephew of Rick Santorum.
The nephew, John Garver, wrote a column over at the Daily Caller in which he says Americans should only elect his uncle if they “want another big-government politician who supports the status quo to run our country.” Ooh, that hurts.He continues:
“It is because of this inability of status quo politicians to recognize the importance of our individual liberties that I have been drawn to Ron Paul. Unlike my uncle, he does not believe that the American people are incapable of forming decisions. He believes that an individual is more powerful than any group (a notion our founding fathers also believed in).
…
Ron Paul seems to be the only candidate trying to win the election for a reason other than simply winning the election.”
Popular Tumblrer Stacy Lambe linked to the column saying that he knows Garver’s family and that, in the extended Santorum clan, they are the “black sheep.”
If they weren’t before, they certainly are now.

Looks like even his relatives don't want to spread Santorum.
Gonna have some odd family get togethers.
Also, the only reason I've had people give me for supporting Ron Paul is that he's "against the war on drugs" and "ohh but he's not big government".
Lets totally ignore any possible Racism, complete lack of sense in Domestic policies or help with Civil rights.

Yeah lets vote on Santorum instead, bomb iran and drill for oil everywhere since global warming is made up. Ron Paul is the fucking nazi demon or something since he want gay rights to be up to the states.

your priorities are seriously out of order

Cause by eliminating Ron Paul I meant to endorse Santorum, exactly.
I'm talking about people who would normally be voting Democrat.
[QUOTE=Sexy Eskimo;34058714]Yeah lets vote on Santorum instead, bomb iran and drill for oil everywhere since global warming is made up. Ron Paul is the fucking nazi demon or something since he want gay rights to be up to the states.[/QUOTE]The states can already do that, hence why some already have. Same thing with drug decriminalization. Some have already started and others are looking in to it. So those are two reasons to support Ron Paul shot down because they aren't really points at all.
[QUOTE=NightmareXx;34058728]your priorities are seriously out of order[/QUOTE]
Cause State Rights should be above Civil Rights...
[QUOTE=Kopimi;34058725]let the ron paul thread begin[/QUOTE]
It kind of puzzles me how the big debate on this forum is around Ron Paul when he really doesn't have a fighting chance against a couple of the other Republicans anyways.
You'd think the sensationalism would be around the Republicans who have a chance of winning.
Wait, does Ron Paul advocate war against Iran?

or we could, like, re-elect Obama

Not that I support Ron Paul or anything, but did you not see the Iowa Caucus? He could definitely get the nomination. Beating Obama is another story though

Really? He came third for the last primary. Santorum came second, which is batshit insane.

snowballs chance in hell!
[QUOTE=Sickle;34058752]Wait, does Ron Paul advocate war against Iran?[/QUOTE]
don't think so considering he's a non-interventionist
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;34058758]or we could, like, re-elect Obama[/QUOTE]That's the preferable option. He may not be great, but he is better than the others. And it would be better without the GOP stonewalling him in Congress constantly.
[QUOTE=Sickle;34058752]Wait, does Ron Paul advocate war against Iran?[/QUOTE]
I think hes for neutrality. I believe that somebody in some other thread (no, I'm not going to go back pages looking for it...) stated that, "he was against intervention of world war 2" or some bullshit.
[QUOTE=Sickle;34058752]Wait, does Ron Paul advocate war against Iran?[/QUOTE]He doesn't care what happens to the rest of the world. He is an isolationist. He basically wants to seal us off from everyone else.
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;34058758]or we could, like, re-elect Obama[/QUOTE]
Obama doesn't deserve a re-election and he just keeps on proving that. Unfortunately no one else seems like a good alternative.
I probably won't vote since voting for Obama would make me feel like I approved of his decisions.
Guys, i always say this when the Ron Paul Hate starts, would you rather Santorum? Romenys fine though.
So how is Santorum's dumbass nephew any more credible than the young stoner voters that support Paul

Paul had more of a chance in Iowa than he does in most Red states. With Fox News being against him, he's fighting an uphill battle.

Romney is incredibly boring and Santorum might end up being the flavor of the week like everyone else.
And that flavor is ASS JUICE

why is "college grad" an insult?

okay if a republican president fucks us over I'll know who to blame then
[QUOTE=rilez;34058815]So how is Santorum's dumbass nephew any more credible than the stoner college grads that support Paul[/QUOTE]
That's not the point. The point is that even some of Santorum's relatives don't like him
Oh and how do you know Santorum's nephew is a dumbass, and what is wrong with being a college grad
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;34058792]He doesn't care what happens to the rest of the world. He is an isolationist. He basically wants to seal us off from everyone else.[/QUOTE]
No, he makes a point constantly to say he's not isolationist. He wants trade and diplomacy, but to stay out of the affairs of other countries.

[I]That's it[/I], I'm for Ron Paul, I don't give a[I] fuck[/I] if he's religious.

its a ron paul thread man he's swingin blind
[QUOTE=SomeRandomGuy16;34058862]That's not the point. The point is that even some of Santorum's relatives don't like him

I realize that, but Paul is hardly a better alternative than Santorum
I'm picturing Ron Paul winning New Hampshire next week.
NH is the homeland of American libertarians.
With Iowa as 3rd in his pocket and NH doing well, I can picture Paul having a good fighting chance for the nomination.
