General / Any Cigar Enthusiast Here?

I am new to FTL and just wondering if there are any other cigar or pipe smokers here? If so, hit me up and lets get a virtual herf going in the chat room!

If you havent experienced the pure bliss that is a cigar stop what you are doing and go out and get a nice one and ENJOY!!!

The Show / Re: Ron Paul's Chances
« on: August 21, 2012, 10:27:25 PM »
After reading many of the comments on this subject I figured it was as perfect time as any to go ahead and throw my 2 cents in.
 I agree with the majority of the commenters on here that while Paul would be the best choice for America sadly he has no chance of that. And I believe his biggest handicap is his hardcore supporters. Like it or not, to win an election you have to play the game and the majority of his supporters refuse to accept that. And the biggest part of that game is appealing to middle America and their wants/needs. It has been proven time and time again that not one party can win the election alone no matter who the candidate is. Obama didnt win the 08 election solely off the votes of democrats but more of bringing in the independent/undecided and many republicans. So who do we normally see out pushing the Ron Paul ticket? Well, most of the time, I'm not saying this to demean anyone, but its the "outsiders", the "hippies" the conspiracy theorist, the occupy crowd.  That is not going to win over voters in the small southern towns or the midwest farmer and that is exactly who you need. The message of these hardcore supporters, atleast as of lately, seems to be centrally wrapped around one issue: Legalization of pot. Which is all well and good but again, its not winning him any new voters.
 Until he can reign in his base and get them on a single game plan he can forget ever seriously being considered. Its sad too because I have heard many friends and family that are either rep or dem say that they love what Paul had to say during the debates but they just cant buy in to him because of his base. Its not right or fair to him but thats how some people think. I'm not of the mindset that this is completely accurate but its just things I have noticed.
