I voted for him in '08 as a write in candidate. Since then I've switched allegiance to Obama.
Apparently I'm confused. Please learn me something oh glorious PD posters.

I would be curious to know if you are aware of the current financial failure that America (& most of the modern world) is about to deal with? As a side note, I am a Ron Paul supporter (I'm assuming you would be able to figure that out), & as such I do support his ideas about how to deal with many of our current circumstances.
In short, many of his philosophies push for the American people to own up to their rights; that people should work hard & earn their living from the sweat of their brow, & break our dependence on foreign nations & the things we get from them, so-on & so-on.
But, even with my dedication to his efforts, I will tell you that there are few things that ANY politician can do to stop the flood of issues that we may soon face. It's simple fact that nations of the world are using the wrong tools for the job, namely our financial system. It's outdated, & it's time for man to evolve to a system that improves the quality of life for all people, not those lucky enough to be lucky at all.

I'm an RP supporter as well, but what makes you think you are confused?

This is something that I don't think many realize. It is already too late to save us our economy has been gutted and rotted from the inside. Our whole economy is fake- that money you are working for is worthless. All kinds of tricks have been played to give the illusion of stability as the establishment robs us blind. It is only a matter of time before that illusion disappears.

Ron Paul vs Obama
Economy: Obama is running the economy into the ground. Paul is the only one with a economic plan that will not drive us trillions of dolloars more into debt. He is also the only one trying to do away with the Fed. Which is our central bank. Central banking is the modern day form of slavery.
Freedom: Obama is a tyrant and freedom is of no concern to him. He believes he knows what is best for you.
War: sending poor people to die so they rich can profit is horrifying. There is no just reason for these wars.
There are many more. Obama is a horrible president, and human.

Let's not forget medical MJ: remember, Obama promised to stop the federal raids on MMJ dispensaries. Have they stopped? It sort of works its way into the whole central theme that Obama doesn't believe in state's rights- at all.
He is a tyrant wannabe; Obama has said, in public, how much easier it would be if he could "do it all himself". He was just meeting with democratic governors to think of ways he can implement his agenda without Congress. If this stuff doesn't send chills down your spine then I don't know what will.

However, I will say that the constitution is not a reason to vote for someone. I want policy issues.
I will point out that at least I know what the U.S. constitution is about.

Ok, can you flesh this idea out more?

I don't get it? Proof please.
War: sending poor people to die so they rich can profit is horrifying. There is no just reason for these wars.
I agree but can you explain how Libya was bad? IIRC, no American's died.

Come on man, you thought the 3/5ths compromise was added after the Civil War. That alone should void any claim you have to knowledge of the constitution or history imo.
However, instead of simply trolling why not give a reason to support Ron Paul. If you don't support Ron Paul perhaps just leave the thread?

Nope. Re-read your own original post. I learned you something good, just like your original post asked. I showed you why you are not confused, even though your request was clearly being over the top sarcastic.

Oh. In that case thank you for your post. However, as I've already said, anything you say regarding the constitution is vacuous.
Also, there was nothing sarcastic about my OP.

Oh, I guess you want forgiveness for your ignorance regarding the constitution? Alright, here is your chance to earn it. Why not give me an argument on how something Obama is doing is unconstitutional? Or perhaps an argument on why the Federal Reserve is unconstitutional or another Ron Paul platform point? This is your chance to show me you aren't as ignorant as your posts indicate.
*edit* Saying the 3/5ths compromise came after the Civil War is pretty vacuous btw.

I dont want to go off topic from the original post. The original post is what Im here to talk.
You really think I want to be quizzed by you to earn your respect w.r.t. the constitution? This because you are a student taking a class?
Ill say again, you are posting in bad faith. Your original post is not genuine and yet you had the gall to call me a troll! Ha!
