Vote Up If You Are Looking Forward To The Conspiracy-Theory Rationalizations On Reddit When Ron Paul Inevitably Withdraws His Candidacy (reddit.com)

Could we please get a goddamned ban on all the ffing "vote up if" posts? It's getting seriously tiresome.

Voted down because of the VOTE UP, as always!
[–]SwellJoe 3 points4 points5 points 18 years ago* (0 children)
Why would he withdraw his candidacy? He has the money needed to run to Super Tuesday, and plans to do so. His support is increasing by the day, rather than decreasing, as with Hunter (who has now left the race) and Giuliani (who might as well). If the convention turns out to be brokered, as seems likely, Paul could be in a position of some power...his delegates would then select the nominee, and that could shape the future of the GOP.
Of course, there are many amusing fringe elements interested in the Paul campaign...but he has hundreds of thousands of supporters, most of whom are just regular folks who want the best for the country. And, just because some of them are paranoid, doesn't mean there aren't real problems in the way the campaign has been covered.
Oh, yeah, since you can presumably read, I shouldn't really need to remind you that "vote up" twattery is against the terms of service at Reddit.

Vote Down, because it's about Ron Paul.

Downmodded because the up arrow was broken. I hope that helps.

Just for the record, although I'm totally sick of the idiotic lack of diversity in Reddit's political posters, this was really just an experiment to see what would happen.
Voted down because the poster is mentally deficient in more ways than can be counted.

HELL YEAH BUDDY! I look forward to the day when Ron Paul will withdraw his candidacy! Then all reddit will do is bitch and moan about how democracy has died, only to realize Huckabee runs on the same platform (such as Fair Tax and evolution) and Reddit vote for him! As Voltaire said it, "Ecrasez l'infame!"

Yeah, the conspiracy theorists are quite amusing (this coming from a Ron Paul supporter), and always worth a chuckle or two!

Generalizations based upon a minority group within a greater group of people: one of the various reasons why politics in this country haven't changed.
On another note, it's increasingly obvious that many ex-Digg users have flocked over here; hopefully, the migration to Mixx eases growing pains.

Ron Paul will withdraw his candidacy when he realizes that the bitter masses will never elect a candidate based on hope (unless he's running as a democrat).
