Obama/Paul Ticket

Real Change.

even if he is British.

We don't need him and we shouldn't feed him. Plus, unlike Dennis DeYoung, he's not an American citizen.

Shore

also real change.

:rofl:

I hope you don't mean Ron Paul. Why in the world would Obama pick a republican, anti-choice, anti-department of education, anti-social security nutcase congressman from Texas just because he's anti-war?

I'm guess you are talking abortion and Ron Paul is most definitely in favor of getting government out of our medical decisions.

2007 In 2007 NARAL Pro-Choice America gave Representative Paul a grade of 0.

From your Wiki link

Paul calls himself "strongly pro-life"<167> and "an unshakable foe of abortion".<168> He believes regulation of medical decisions about maternal or fetal health is "best handled at the state level."<169><170><171> He believes that, for the most part, states should retain jurisdiction, in accordance with the U.S. Constitution.

Paul refers to his background as an obstetrician as being influential on his view, recalling inadvertently witnessing a late-term abortion performed by one of his instructors during his residency, “It was pretty dramatic for me to see a two-and-a-half-pound baby taken out crying and breathing and put in a bucket.”<172> During a May 15, 2007, appearance on the Fox News talk show Hannity and Colmes, Paul argued that his pro-life position was consistent with his libertarian values, asking, "If you can't protect life then how can you protect liberty?" Furthermore, Paul argued in this appearance that since he believes libertarians support non-aggression, libertarians should oppose abortion because abortion is "an act of aggression" against a fetus, which he believes to be alive, human, and possessing legal rights.<[br />

Brings in the Catholics and a fair number of low information white working males.

And older voters.

:rofl:

Barack Obama running with Ron "Black Men are semi-criminal" Paul? Absolutely, truly ridiculous.

it would be the end of the discussion for me.

Ron Paul = fruitcake

...there are better ones out there.

Your suggestion is insane. :crazy:

:puke:

Take your pick.

Wouldn't Wesley Clark be a much better choice ?

Clark is a liberal who's pro-choice, has more FP experience in his little finger than anyone running or ran in 2008 has in their whole bodies (yes, including Biden) and is intelligent.

Paul is a fruitcake.

in other words, disruptors.

no other goal.

Still this one is particularly pathetic. Why not suggest David Duke-he and Paul share a constituency...

Other than that, it's a disaster.

oh wait - you're serious ???

:middlefingertothatidea:

but his economic policies are too controversial to put him on the ticket. He really stands for the complete opposite of what the Democrats stand for with respect to domestic policy.

I rather like the idea of having an effective and efficient government (granted one that works FOR THE PEOPLE.) Paul and his Ultralibertarians don't.

Serious f***ing conlfict of interest there.

I don't usually like to denigrate other people's ideas, but this one is just plain dumb. Ron Paul is right about Iraq, and he (at least tepidly) has voiced his opposition to BushCo.'s infringements on our civil liberties. Other than that, he's pure scum.

Hes voted for all bills supporting equal rights. Just because his name is on some libertarian magazine that someone wrote hateful shit in doesnt mean he supports it. It's like saying Obama is a terrorist for knowing William Ayers. Theres plenty of shit to not like about him, but this isnt one.

The constant stream of support for Republicans on a Democratic ticket is starting to get to me. I don't understand it at all. Why are so many in love with the traitor party, the lockstep crew, the enableres of war crimes? Why the disdain for the qualified in our own Party? Why the urge to reward failure with promotion?
Not one Republican set him or herself apart from Bushco by taking a strong stand against them. None were vocal, not one oragnized an opposition within their own Party. They yeilded all to GW and they should not in any way be rewarded for that.
Someone mentioned the liar Colin Powell. A man who brought shame to his country at the UN with a willful and consious set of well prepared lies. Disgusting.
A GOP veep pick and I go Green. I do not vote for Republicans. Not in pairs, and not when coupled with a socially conservative Democrat.
I do not vote R on a train,
I do not vote R, I have a brain.
I do not vote R, D I am
Keep your R's they are a scam.

Number one, we don't need a right-wing crazy on the Democratic ticket and Number two, do you really think a racist like Ron Paul would run on the same ticket with a black man? I don't think so.

Change is right... change for the worse.

Insanity We Can Believe In

...you want Obama to choose a NAZI as his running mate?

Ron Paul sucks large donkey you-know-whats.

Next?

was.

Thank you.

So it should go without saying that we don't need an anti-choice, Republican loony on our ticket.

:freak:
