Why I Hate Politicians, But Love Ron Paul

[1stAmendguy]

I just had an inspiration after watching the viral video "Why I hate Religion, But Love Jesus". What do you think about the idea of starting an Internet meme using the same concept and translate it to "Why I Hate Politicians, But Love Ron Paul" or something similar? We have a good chance to catch momentum with this. For example, people can make a video reply to the video about Jesus > Christianity on YouTube but pivot it to explain why they dislike most politicians or politics in general but love Ron Paul, again using the original premise of the religion video. It could possibly get big and draw a lot of curiosity from Christians/evangelicals or anyone unfamiliar with Ron Paul for that matter if a lot of Ron Paul supporters run with this idea.

In case you haven't seen the video I'm talking about yet, here it is:

Awesome idea. I just heard about that video yesterday. Your idea might play well in evangelical SC.

Maybe even write a poem like this guy did? That would be awesome.

Here is my attempt at it: <edited to reflect the newest version, so that people will see it and not my old slightly crappier version :D>


What if I told you Ron Paul was the only real conservative?
What if I told you because their the GOP does not mean they deserve to win?
What if I told you “Republican” does not mean they are right?
And just because the Media ignores us, does not mean we'll give up the fight.
I mean, if politicians are so great, why have they screwed up so bad?
They tax us more and more, but they already have taken what I had.
They ignore the Constitution they say it doesn't matter,
And with Speech like that, they sound like the Mad Hatter.
They can't fix our problems, and instead they just make more
If you don't think this is happening, check the prices at the store.
But they are wrong, because the constitution does matter
And between Tyranny, and Liberty, I would rather choose the latter.
See, the problem with politicians it that they are running scared.
They are afraid to take a stand, and be kicked out of there.
But Ron Paul took a stand, and the people loved him
And that is why Ron Paul, is better than all of them.
Now you know that I am judging, because I actually read the constitution
'Cause there's a problem when our countries burning, and they're worried about pollution
I mean, if we spend money like they do, we'd all end up broke.
And they sit there and tell us, they will bring us change and hope.
See this was me, too, but not any more
I was a GOP hack, and always supported the war.
But I always wanted peace, and for the war to be over
But was told I'm too young, I'll understand when I'm older.
See, I always was republican and followed the party hook and ladder
But then I saw Ron Paul now I'm up to the plate, I am the batter
Because if America is great, then the constitution is too,
And if you disagree, I will openly challenge you.
Which means I will no longer sit down, and let the Media lie,
I will take this message of hope, and shout it to the sky.
See, when I was a republican, I just did not understand
How great America was, and how blessed was this land.
Which is why Ron Paul is different, and calls other politicians fools
He sees the constitution, as our nation's strongest tool.
So let me repeat: I love America, I love our freedom, and yes the Constitution
So I will no longer be content to join the Neoconservative Institution
Now beware useless pork, bureaucracy and interventions
Because the US Constitution is man's greatest creation
Now back to the point: Ron Paul stands alone
On the debate stage, but not on the streets or our homes.
Because the people, we support him, what he says and what he does
His ideas get us going, yes they get us all a buzz
But isn't it sad, when freedom sounds so new?
When this plan was there, with our founding fathers too.
Because Government takes away, and rarely gives back
But freedom is the only thing, that will always stand the flack
And that is why Ron Paul is different than the other politicians,
He stands for Peace and Freedom, not Military Intervention.
Which is why I will support him, through this race and his presidency
Because his message speaks volumes to people like you and me.
Because he seeks to make us great again, to restore our place in the world
He will make all our enemies look like scared little girls.
And while being mocked, to his message he stands true,
for freedom is something that transcends even me and you.
And he will end all our wars, the hate, and the Fed
And bring all our soldiers home, so they can sleep in their own bed.
So for politicians, no, I hate them; in fact, I literally resent them
For when Ron Paul preached freedom, I know that he meant it.

Hi, I am new here. I just started writing, based off the origonal poem. This is what I got so far, any ideas?

What if I told you Ron Paul came to save this country?
What if I told you the GOP does not represent America?
What if I told you "Republican" doesnt automatically mean "Conservative"?
And just because their elected, doesn't automatically make them right?
I mean, if politicans are so great, why have they screwed up so bad?
Why do they expand the government, but ignore its founding principles?
Tell their constituents one thing, but then do another?
In the consitution, they outline a clear plan for government.
Politicians might make law, but they do not understand it.
They tend to ignore the top law, to make new ones.
They can't fix our problems, and so they just make more
Not realizing, spending more money, will not pay off the debt.
See, the problem with politicians, is they are scared.
They don't want to lose, so they do nothing
Lie, "The people won't like this, so lets do something else"
But its funny, they expect us to follow the law, when they ignore it themselves.
See, I am judging, for I read the constitution
And there's a problem if I only 19 read it and politicans did not.
I mean, it's their job to follow it, but you know they never do
It's like saying "I'm here to help, I am from the government"
See this was me, too, but I never really understood.
Supporting the endless wars, but waiting for some peace
See, I spent my life as a republican, a GOP hack
But now I heard Ron Paul, and I'm never going back.

That was great! Good effort. +rep

I added some more to it. I don't if I will actually record this or not, not a huge fan of my own voice, but I don't really know. And I realized some areas where I can make it rhyme more, so I will work on that tomorrow I think. And I realized also how atrocious some of my spelling was. I fixed some of it.

Supporting the endless wars, but waiting for some peace
See, I spent my life as a republican, a GOP hack
But now I heard Ron Paul, and I'm never going back.
Because the constitution is law, and the government its ruler
It does not rule us, IT rules them
Which means I don't have to fear, the government intervention
Cause they have to answer, to the US constitution
See, when I was a republican, and not libertarian
I wanted the government to grow, to help the world, and carry them
Which is why Ron Paul is against the plan, and calls politicians fools
He points to the constitution and says "Follow the Rules!"
Now lemme clarify: I love America, that I will not deny
But I will not idly stand by, and let our politicians lie
See, if we have any chance of success, and hope at all
We will return to the principles, we will vote for Ron Paul
Now back to the point: The US Constitution
Conservatives and Liberals are on the same spectrum,
The 2 party system, the most dangerous institution
We need value, we need choice, we need the constitution.
See, Politicians say spend, Ron Paul says No.
Politicians ignore the law, and Ron Paul, well you know.
Politicians will sell us to bondage, Ron Paul we make us free
From Chinese intervention in our Domestic Policy
And that's why Ron Paul, is a different kind of Man.
He is a different Politician, because he has a Plan.
End the Fed, curb the Debt
End the Wars no need to fret.
Now you may call me Unamerican, but please say that to my face
Ron Paul will fight every day, to put the Government in its place
And when he gets elected, the first thing he will do
Is return our armed forces, to be home with me and you
So for Politicians, no, I hate them; in fact, I literally resent them
Because when Ron Paul speaks his words, I know that he meant them

[Highstreet]

Looks really good so far. I'm sure you might find someone with a voice, and video to record it.
Instead of in front of a church, in front of the FED, State capital, or Congress.

[Machiavelli]

Good idea

[jcannon98188]

Ok, I pretty much completely redid it again. This time it actually flows and rhymes. I used to rap when I was younger, but I haven't for some time (haha see? That rhymed :D)

But here is the newest version. Any ideas on anything to change at all?

What if I told you Ron Paul was the only real conservative?
What if I told you because their the GOP does not mean they deserve to win?
What if I told you “Republican” does not mean they are right?
And just because the Media ignores us, does not mean we'll give up the fight.
