ron paul is like the political equivalent of snakes on a plane
a lot of internet hype about something that pretty much sucks and won't be successful at all
I like this.
This is good.
It performed well at the box office.
How do you define success?
what are you trying to do here
I'm just saying.
Comparing him to snakes on a plane in terms of success implies that he'll get a decent amount of voter turnout, but be a pretty campy president (as expected by those who voted for him, of course).
no that's stupid and not at all what pony was saying
Fred Thompson could have been a contender. But, in order to be elected, you kind of have to want it. I get the sense that Fred could give two shits about this whole affair, and probably wants to do exactly as Pony described. Makes one wonder why he got into this in the first place.

I'm shocked...shocked, to find faggotry in this thread.

I think Thompson's strategy backfired and he actually did wait too long.

I think it is important that we have a president that is well-spoken and is given to public speaking, and speeches thereof. It's not the only quality necessary, but definitely high on the list.
I think we've have had enough of the rest of the modern world imagining us to be a bunch of slack-jawed cowboys. Who we choose to represent us on the world stage will mean a lot in the coming years.

bush being a "good ole boy" is a large part of the US' image problem with the rest of the world
it's not the only one, obviously
the whole invading iraq for no good reason and fucking it up massively is obviously the leader
but it certainly doesn't help

I'm pretty sure Thompson has no clue what the hell is happening, nor does he care.

But even then, if he had given the appearances of giving a shit, I don't think waiting as long as he did would have adversely affected him.
I think his biggest problem isn't his demeanor but his background. Yeah he was a senator but everyone knows him to be an actor and he needed time to get people to take him seriously.
Ah, I was wondering if this was real or not. So, does that mean if I make a story that is telling Ron Paul supporters to shut the fuck up, it'll get front paged? Because that would be pretty epic. Then again, I'm sure it would have been done by now.

It might, but then you'd get a bunch of people who follow you around and bury anything you say or submit.
Any community that involves rating user content inevitably accrues such things. I remember the downvoters on YTMND before revenge buries were a twinkle in a stupid 13 year old's eye.
Eh, I don't care about that, because I don't submit stories really anyhow. Plus, if I did I'd do it under a different username and different IP, but, meh.
I'm phonebanking in LA right now for Obama. What are you dumpy bastards doing?
Heroin.
You wanna join me?
make sure you do too much
OK so you're still going to be a raging cunt because I misinterpreted something that you typed on the internet, after you already said "Jesus fuck I thought it was obvious, but leave it to the Ass-Pie to take it to heart."
You are my fucking hero, sir.

Seriously if that's the ballot...I'm going to move somewhere. I don't know where I don't know how. I don't know.
God damn it I fucking hate McCain.
I think he can give some amazing god damned speeches, which is something that I really fucking want from the next President.
However, his policies are pretty vanilla.
I am much more aligned towards Kucinich's platform. But I could definitely vote for Obama in the main election.
yeah it figures you'd be a kucinich man
but cal you know he won't even get nominated let alone win
obama is the sensible choice
not especially
most people expected it to do much better, and it proved that internet hype does mean real results
but his speeches just get me so inspired that I can't imagine not voting for him
Phil Collins.
Jeeze, can you not look at the picture or something?
Carter gave great speeches too and we all know what happened there.
no that's stupid and not at all what pony was saying
in fact he elucidated in the original post
How would it feel to be out-polled byt Ron Paul?
Ellen DeGeneres circa 1996
(ps thanks google image search!)
BJ in the oval office.
i'd feel pretty shitty
if i were me
if i were fred thompson i'd just fuck my hot wife and go back to law & order

HE'S NOT GOING TO FUCKING WIN, so please stop jacking off to him and spamming Digg with your stories about him!"
Because, really, it is annoying.

I can't think of a single speech, policy, or side of the issue that Thompson stands for
he campaign has basically been "hey I'm running and famous, remember this face?" and then a few generic republican values
and you probably generate half their traffic looking for the latest update
it is like the train wreck you cannot turn away from I suppose
Yes, but why? Why must it be?
Because there are botnets that automatically spam up anything that involves his name
No, I'm not joking
