Paul drops out

[qabbaan]

Nobody told him he was on the cusp of the nomination, I guess?

Get a clue. They don't think like you.

Continue to post in the style of your last—then don't expect me to respond. I don't consider that a contribution.

"Not per Paul campaign reports."

This is the problem with you guys. You think your little cadre is representative of the general public. You only listen to others within the fold. It's called groupthink. Look it up.

I never disputed what "Paul supporters" believe. I disputed whether the general public holds the war/wars as a big campaign issue. It does not.

Based on the fact that all but a couple of percentage points of all voters are favoring a candidate who will maintain the status quo on these wars, you'd have to conclude that the public mostly supports them or doesn't hold them as being an important issue in this campaign.

Here you are. Does this remind you of anyone?

Yes the idiot Obamanauts and ROmneyites.

but ronpaul really won the election. If he'd only have gotten more votes he wouldn't have been cheated out of his seat on the Iron Throne.

Type II: Closed-mindedness

Stereotyping those who are opposed to the group as weak, evil, biased,
spiteful, impotent, or stupid.

I rest my case.

National polls repeatedly show that this is the case for people like YOU. Because polls consistently show over 70% are sick of the Iraq and Afganistan wars. ( Iraq has just had more private killers installed but that's not making the major news.)

And if we're guilty of "group think" then why are we treated as a rogue element in the party? That's a sign of not following the GOP herd. Logic FAIL.

I never disputed what "Paul supporters" believe. I disputed whether the general public holds the war/wars as a big campaign issue. It does not.

That's only because the major media are not focusing on them right now. They KNOW it's unwise. They are part of the Establishment. They shape public opinion.

Based on the fact that all but a couple of percentage points of all voters are favoring a candidate who will maintain the status quo on these wars, you'd have to conclude that the public mostly supports them or doesn't hold them as being an important issue in this campaign.

Polls show otherwise.

You voted for Rick Santorum and your jokes are equally as stupid.

And now he will vote for Romney, so?

I bet that he does.

He has Rand's career to think about.

How about Rand Paul for VP?
