Ron, this is reality calling. You aren’t getting the GOP nomination.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwQEgOKEEXI The other reality is that people like Paul totally pervert the meaning of being “Libertarian.” The guy and most of his policies can’t be taken seriously.

How dare this Ron Paul August 25, 2012, 06:45:52

Yeah, how dare we take someone seriously who correctly called the housing crisis on the House floor in both 2001 and 2003 that took almost everyone else in DC, economists like Krugman included, by surprise! Or who voted against the Patriot Act in 2001 when almost everyone else in both parties supported it. Or who actually opposes the police state laws pushed through by Obama and the GOP congress, or the drug war laws! Clearly, the drug war, the police state laws like Obama’s NDAA where citizens can be detained & killed by decree with no due process, bailing out the big banks with the sort of incest that goes on with the Fed and the major banking companies, internet free speech regulation, and our foreign policy drone strikes killing thousands of civilians are a huge success while having bases in well over 100 nations and occupying a number of nations without any sort of stated goal except spending money, losing men, and pissing off the world. Why question them? Instead, be exactly like Romney/Obama and msbnc/foxnews and declare that anyone who votes against those things or questions them must be nuts. Let’s also not mention that Obama’s term has basically been the third term for the neo-con Bush on foreign policy and civil liberties, and he has actually been much worse than Bush. How dare this Ron Paul character pervert what it means to be a libertarian, and instead let’s go by what a linguist like Chomsky has to say about being a libertarian since he has such insight into what the Jeffersonian wing of intellectual thought in America involves!

Ron Paul is still living in the 19th Century. The world is too small for isolationism. The economy is too big for returning to the gold standard. The world is too dangerous to ignore the threats. The great thing about Ron Paul is that everybody agrees with like 3 things that he said. The bad thing about Ron Paul is that he says about 1000 other things that just have no place in the 21st Century.

All hail the left, right paradigm of Obamney. “Vote” between a two party dictatorship controlled by the 1% of shareholders of the military industrial complex. Mock and ridicule anybody who dares to go against the mainstream ways of doing things. All you jamband fans are so open minded and college educated. Fucking pathetic. Keep speaking til you’re censored How Dare This Ron Paul!

Luke August 25, 2012, 14:36:41

Ron Paul is essentially not any different from Obama and Romney on profound issues that matter to most people. That’s why he perverts ‘libertarianism,” but he’s certainly not alone in that folly in the USA.

Worked stage crew for Vaughan last summer, old scool kinda greaser type fella, no nonsense with him. Bet his bro was the chill one.

Ron Paul is the worst thing that has ever happened to America! Before Ron Paul, people were content to watch TV and accept what MSNBC and FOX told them. Before Ron Paul, people liked being Democrat and Republican. Before Ron Paul, almost everyone knew that corporations were evil, and our government was there to protect us from them. Before Ron Paul, I used to have a lucrative career talking about nothing and making it sound interesting, now people want facts and evidence to support my straw man attacks. I’m so angry at Ron Paul, I don’t understand any of the things he says, and I mean, I love his policy on Iraq and Afghanistan, but I mean, all the rest of his policies are just utter nonsense, and everybody knows that of course, so why are we even here talking any of this? I dunno…is it time for lunch yet? I think my meter is running. Did you bring the dingo for Ms. Evenworth to clean? I think I’ll spring over to swamp pamp to get a little bop in the gittle. Gotta go, beegle’be’doo!

Luke August 26, 2012, 09:39:14

The notion that Ron Paul is a viable and different 3rd option is as uninformed and irresponsible as the man’s views themselves. MIght have something to do with why he’s a member of the republican party. He represents the public about as much as Obama does or Romney would – not at all.
Good listening folks and best to all

Ron Paul might make sense in some ways, but he’s racist as hell (pay attention to the things he says sometimes). I’ve always known that Jimmy Vaughan leaned to the right, but his support of the Republicans seems to stand in stark contrast to the sort of plights that traditional Blues music (which he claims to love so much) stems from. Love the Blues, but don’t pay attention to how the GOP oppresses minorities, women, the poor, and now even the middle class. You’re an idiot, Jimmy. You also aren’t even half as talented as your brother was. And John Popper’s just a horse’s ass. The guy sings “Imagine” on a John Lennon tribute album, but he’s also a big gun nut. I think all that fat he used to have went to his brain a long time ago and it’s still wedged in there, clogging his thought processes. Either that, or he burst his brain cells out playing his harmonica at the only speed he knows. Blues Traveler sucks.

“he’s racist as hell”. There’s that magic word. Racism. I mean, who would want to be associated with a racist, right? Therefore, anyone who associates with, or agrees with them must be racist too, right? Forget the fact that usually you have to have those little inconvenient things like facts and quotes to back up a disgusting label like that. Just say the word and you are the righteous one. Hey Guy Smiley, you are a pedophile. I just think thats a pwerful word to describe you, so I’ll use it. What? you’re not a pedophile? Prove it.

sarg August 26, 2012, 15:51:05

What do you mean Ron Paul does not belong in the 21st Century??? Principles and Liberty are timeless.

Sigh, here we go again. Ron Paul “Racism is an ugly form of collectivism”. Ron Paul had more support from minorities than any other candidate in the primaries. Ron Paul was endorsed by the Texas head of the NAACP. Ron Paul was the only candidate calling for the immediate end of the War on Drugs, which has a disproportionately terrible impact on minority communities.
