Is that some kind of terrorist petition, or vandalism on public notifications erected by the city?

Ron Paul is one of the few, maybe the only remaining intelligent politicians in the U.S...and if you like the Swiss model of armed neutrality, you should agree with him, because that's exactly what he proposes (but some of you "English-speaking" immigrants are too stupid to understand this...you say "oooooohhhh I love Switzerland, they got it right", but then Ron Paul says "Ok, let's try to apply a similar model to the U.S.", and you shout your usual bullying crap "You're an idiot, Ron Paul"). I hope that he gets to be the Republican candidate against Obama...it would be a very very interesting campaign, one of the most interesting in decades! But if he gets elected, he'll probably be killed very soon, because of his economic views, which would hurt the big banks and the FED. I think he shouldn't be elected, by the way...he's too intelligent to guide a country like the U.S..

What I find a little curious is not about Ron Paul himself, nor his policies (I don't really know much about him), rather why a picket for an American political candidate would be of any use / interest here in Switzerland.
My opinion would probably therefore apply regardless of who the politician was, and what his / her political aims were, when they are not presenting themselves as candidates in this country.
Seems a little bold and somewhat pointless. I would never consider publicly holding a rally about my preferred British party / politician* here in Switzerland.

I hope he wins .Finally again a president who doesnt have the USA flaps in front of his eyes with the over nationalism.(like the other one in the vid) I refuse to move there as long as Obama is in office. I honestly find him to be one of the worst presidents in history( cash for clunkers programme is one of the examples) ....granted he wasnt left with exactly a clean slate by his previous even worse president G.W.B ....
Go Ron Paul. Why he is in Zurich beats me though

I think RP needs to focus his campaign in the US, where the voters are. Not sure why folks are doing this sort of thing as it's just sorta embarrassing, all politics aside, to bring the ill wind that is a presidential election year to those folks blissfully unaware/uninterested in it.

Gotta get the absentee vote I guess to have a showing... The Paulistas are their own worst enemy... To my mind, they are an embodiment of the demagoguery that is becoming so prevalent in American politics.

Your idea of an anti-Ron-Paul murder conspiracy makes even less sense. I doubt there is some evil-rich big banker cartel that would try to kill Ron Paul. Besides, Ron Paul stands zero chance of being elected.

I'm surprised by the negative response to this. I see lots of people slamming Ron Paul without suggesting a superior alternative (or even understanding what Paul stands for). Frankly, I think you read/watch too much mainstream news.
So go on, tell us who you think is better/smarter/more electable and we will have our chance to pick your candidate to pieces. Isn't that what politics is all about?
Why a rally in Zurich? Simple. What happens in the USA effects the world. Just ask the families of the 100's of thousands killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.

By the way, I find it interesting that you don't see any rallies for Obama or whatever knuckle-dragging inbred the Republicans drag out. A lot of people are genuinely excited about Ron Paul. At least have enough concern to learn about what he stands for (from him, not the media).

Ron Paul is unelectable simply because of the insane/inane fanaticism of his followers. To undecided outsiders it appears way beyond passionate and actually a lot cult-like.

I have heard the term unelectable many times about Paul. Let me ask you, is that a reason not to vote for someone? Shouldn't you take the time to understand what they stand for and vote accordingly?
Like I said: At least have enough concern to learn about what he stands for (from him, not the media).
AGAIN: You slam Paul but conveniently conceal your choice. Kind of discounts your credibility don'cha think? | | This user would like to thank ed_mcgaugh for this useful post: | |

just like Obama was black and couldnt win right.
RP will win with a long shot, I find there is very little doubt about it. I hope I am not wrong though cause I would like to see him try to mend the USA a bit back
