Ron Paul Will Never Be President So Shut Up.
Dear people who are still convinced Ron Paul is good for America,
Ron Paul isn’t gonna win. I’m not saying that because I’m part of any kind of media pushback. I’m speaking as a regular citizen with a casual interest in American presidents and I also reads the news every single day. Honestly, it doesn’t take much to see how obvious it is that Ron Paul will never, ever be president.
The thing is,
People are gonna see the speech in front of the Confederate flag,
They’re gonna read the newsletters (which, if he didn’t write them is a huge executive error on his part),
They’re gonna hear that he really wants to overturn Roe v Wade,
They’re gonna hear that he has always been against the Civil Rights Act,
They’re gonna see him on news shows getting angry and talking for a long time about how “a free society” should be, but never talking about the real needs of modern America, and what people (voters, taxpayers, progressives, actual people) want,
They’re gonna hear “states’ rights”,
And they’re gonna pass on him. Like they should.
Because, like it or not, Barack Obama singing Al Green is what America needs wants and needs now, not to be told that things were better in the 1800’s and that the government should’ve bailed out slave-owners instead of going to war.
He talks about the Constitution like it’s not even ours, like it belongs to dead people and if we keep messing with it then they’re gonna get mad and come back. I personally don’t feel that the country we live in has anything at all to do with what was here in the 1700’s. There’s been…how many Superbowls since then?
He’s just a crazy idea guy, not a real candidate for president. PRESIDENT. I can imagine him giving his inauguration speech complaining about how “this wasn’t the kind of inauguration the Forefathers intended”.
A president has to be able to deal with Congress. Nobody in Congress likes Ron Paul. You think they don’t like Obama? That man won in a landslide and can’t get those assholes to budge on anything. Ron Paul wouldn’t even be allowed to speak.
He has no endorsements or support from any real people. He has no new energy plan, or any tax ideas beyond “ending the fed” (good luck with that one). If he pitched a VAT then he might gain traction with independents, but he hates that idea and besides, it’s a Libertarian no-no.
It was cute while it lasted, and believe me, I wish he wasn’t such a Texan, because some of his ideas are kinda nice. I don’t like bailouts or drug wars either, but the cons outweigh the pros in such a way that I’m surprised the conversation has continued this long.
The Ron Paul ReLOVEution ends in 2012, probably next month.
