Sifting Through the GOP Debate, Part I

Taking a short break from school to note something interesting from the Republican debate:

Ron Paul made up a word.

Unless, of course, "malinvestment" is in your dictionary. He used it twice, within the space of a few breaths!

DEVELOPING...

CORRECTION: I spoke with my Latin teacher and my Academic Team coach, who is an English teacher. My Latin teacher says it is a word, and my coach concurs, but both agree that it really was a rather inapt word. So, to summarize: Ron Paul said "malinvestment." I laughed at him for making up a word. It turned out that it actually was a word, except that it sucks. I think that's a fair summary.

I enjoy reading the posts of people courageous enough to actually stand against the fanatical Paulians. That's why I found this very funny. Also, since I am a huge Monty Python fan, I liked this, too.

When Paulians Attack!, Part II

This is just plain ridiculous. Ron Paul needs to rope in his supporters- they are simply out of control. To me, "Dr." Paul is an "NIMC" candidate- "Not In My Country." I would sooner vote for Duncan Hunter than Ron Paul, just because of his supporters. They are incredibly intense, and their intensity is rather freaky. Go ahead and spam me, Paulians! I can take it! You lot are full of so much bull that you cover it up by screaming at people who dare question your Ron Paul gospel. Enough is enough! People make mistakes, and it generally isn't due to grand conspiracies. We are completely over your yelling and screaming and voter intimidation.

Quickly!

I was just browsing through a few items before heading off to bed (finals tomorrow...), when I saw this post.
I would say that Ron Paul made a bit of an error, accepting that donation from Mr. Black. Why take money from a neo-Nazi? I can't say much more. Too tired. Sorry.



Maybe you noticed how Mr. Paul reacted badly to the question, at one point sounding as if he claims Don Black, the neo-Nazi, shares his views. His views on what? Jews? Bad, bad, bad.

When Paulians Attack!

Just to get the ball rolling:
One thing about Ron Paul that troubles me:

His supporters: Most of all, these people trouble me about Ron Paul. They are ill-tempered, rude, disdainful of other views, and far too smug and self-righteous. Don't get me wrong, I think the man himself has the guts to stick to his position. But I worry about the people who are gravitating towards him. A great many of them seem to view Mr. Paul as nothing less than God made flesh, and he can't possibly be wrong. This loses sight of the fact that he is only human, not immune to human mistakes and troubles, and that criticism of him may be valid. I am deeply afraid that if Ron Paul came from behind to win the Republican nomination, and then the presidency, that we would end up a country less able to compromise, and eight years of that has been quite enough for me, at least.

To see an example of his supporters' handiwork, you could click here. Or here. Or here. Heck, you don't even have to click these links. Just search for "Ron Paul" on any blog that allows comments (or pretty much any newspaper), and I can pretty much guarantee that unless it says only nice things about Ron Paul, there will be some nasty comments.
