Posted on 05/20/12 at 01:07 am in response to Ron Paul strategy: Control the GOP from the inside out

There are some reformed occupiers in our Ron Paul camp. Speaking for myself, and most Paul Supporters, I despise the actions (particularly violent), motivations, and craziness the class-envy Occupy movements present. The 99% and 1% drives me nuts because the 99% are going about change in completely the wrong fashion. I believe the leaders they have and financial backing are tied to an different motive than what they portray. Much like the Tea Party today is backed by big money politics and...

I am a strong conservative republican Ron Paul supporter/delegate. I attend one of the most liberal art schools in Minneapolis. I listen to NPR and watch TPC as much as I do Limbaugh and Fox News, which may be a little to much in any given day, but I enjoy and find entertainment in both. I appreciate the non editorials news reporting as much as the op-ed pieces. I learn a lot by listening to both sides, and so to most of the Ron Paul supporters I know.

Several Ron Paul supporters at...

I am a life long Republican, and I am 39 years old with two children. My first experience with the GOP was when my parents caucused for Ronald Reagan.

This weekend I was filling my duties as an elected State Delegate for Scott County. This last Summer when the campaigns were first starting I was very interested in Romney and Santorum. In 2008 I was...

You are asking the right questions. Instead of convincing people to listen to Ron Paul, which would be a method of force, we have to ask the right questions to get others engaged. John Stossel on Fox Business and the former host Judge Napalotano are able to ask the right questions. So instead of forcefully campaigning for Ron Paul, which is met with resistance, I will ask questions.

It stirs up strong emotions in me, especially now I have listened to Ron Paul, when people are stagnant settling and comforted by the imaginary bubble of safety the status-quo gives them. The truth hurts when your life and everything you believe in turns out to be a lie. Their defense is to force back at the threat of collapsing their reality. The problem is I don't ask the right questions. I need to watch John Stossel and read his book, because he seems to ask the right questions to get...

It should only be my concern about what I want to put in my body. If I wanted to smoke the pot, then I should have every right and freedom in the world to smoke or ingest a gosh darn plant. There are some risks, health wise, but they are so much infinitesimally smaller than alcohol, tobacco, or prescription drugs. If someone HAD to force one of those previous choices on a child or an adult in great quantities which would you choose?
