That video is horrifying.. way to mindlessly idolize and glorify a racist political demagogue.

In the spirit of that amazing video Steel linked to, Ron Paul has appeared to have topped Amazon's bestsellers list today as well. The man has quite an internet following.

Ugh, even here in Toronto there's a Ron Paul hope for America sticker near my school. I really fucking want to deface it. Also, why the hell is Ron Paul still running for nominations? Doesn't he clearly stand no chance?

yes, he can no longer be elected.
no, they don't realize this yet.

also go ahead and deface it if it's on public property, I pull those things down when I see them because they are distracting and I like to read about lost dogs.

ahahaha I'm glad I saw this topic today, you hate me so much and im just sitting here I think I'm gonna be reading Ximenez comparing anime characters to ron paul

you were the one who waited till I was banned over trying to prevent this shit to post "*exhales* glad that's over with..." pal.

yeah there's really this big difference between paul and the libertarian party.

I'm going to regret this, but there's a topic in the Politics forum called Presidential Primaries, ont he first page I posted a ron paul rebuttal.

I have nothing of value to add to this topic other than Ron Paul is the only man in the universe who has ever truly scared me.  There's this dude who lives in front of my friend that has a Ron Paul sign on his front yard and whenever I'm hanging out the dude sits on his porch and cleans his guns.

Every time.  And it's not like he's already there cleaning his guns, he actually pulls back the curtain as I enter the drive way then grabs a bunch of rifles and polishes them while dip spit dribbles from his chin and onto his tattered wife beater.

I think he's hoping McCain dies of old age before the election, so he'll be able to take his place.  That's the only possible reason I can think of other than he's fucking insane.

I've heard this reasoning, but honestly they would broker that convention in a second so it's a pretty dumb assumption.

OH WAIT RON PAUL.

what? oh lmao like I'm going to remember a post from earlier in this thread. I don't know what you're talking about preventing, but I just said that I was glad that you were banned (which obviously had to wait until you were!). it was over a half a year ago but I'M SORRY. the curse of the steel paladine is ancient and unyielding, one can never truly escape its wrath

I always figured he has absolutely nothing better to do.  If I was running for president and it was clear there's no chance in hell I'd win then I'd make a public ass of myself as well.

I think some other Ron Paul supporter got asked this same question and he gave some ridiculous answer like "they're foreign, so why should they get U.S. aid?", completely ignoring the fact that the bill he proposed specifically targeted Iranian students, making it nothing but a textbook example of discrimination.

i keep on reading crazy paulsie shit about how they still have a chance to steal the convention because 'lots of ron paul supporters are delegates'

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

they don't. the republican party, as horrible as it might be, would never let someone even more horrible like Ron Paul be their leader.

I asked my loud mouthed friend the same question, and got a response similar to "YAH THEY'RE FROM IRAN WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM????"
Was this bill directed specifically at students who had lived in Iran?

Specifically at Iranian students, yes.

"Prohibits the making available of funds, authorized under any program to aid higher education, to any institution that enrolls or has enrolled on the date of enactment of this Act any person who is not a citizen of the United States and whose country of origin or residence immediately prior to entry into the United States is Iran."
I can understand from a libertarian perspective the "who is not a citizen of the US" bit, but I don't really get the purpose of targeting Iranian students. Maybe it had something to do with this:
"On November 4 1979: Iranian Islamic Students stormed the US embassy, taking 66 people, the majority Americans, as hostages. 14 were released before the end of November. In November: The republic's first Prime Minister Mehdi Bazargan resigned. "
Probably some hysteria surrounding the Iranian people, so Paul was trying to push through a reactionary bill that would chisel away at federal education funding. Hahaha i don't know it just seems so random and pointless.
