‘Hate’ is a pretty strong word.
He’s a dangerous Nut - I base that on words that come out of his mouth and the way he acts.

I blame the Paul Zombies. Bunch of twenty-something, anti-semitic, pot-head lunatic boys who sound like George Noory robots.

“He hasn’t had to go negative.”

On what planet? Paul was the first to go negative against Newt in Iowa. Yes, even before Mitt did.

I still laugh when a 30+ year career politician (who claims to want term limits), accuses everyone else of being ‘establishment’. Guy has been sucking on the government and taxpayer tit longer than most of the others have been in government.

Hasn’t gone negative? When/where did this happen?

You got two Career Government Leftists (of which Ron Paul’s foreign policy is actually WORSE and TO THE LEFT of Obama’s) running against a Marxist criminal cabal.

The greater Leftist will win - which means if it’s either Mitt or Paul - Obama “wins”.

I will never vote for Ron Paul anymore than I would voter for Mittens of Obama. I REFUSE to vote for a political savior being foisted on us by a bunch of rabid Mob Zombies or Communists.

Interesting.

Would you consider Jim DeMint part of or outside of the establishment.

He is not endorsing anyone at this time in the race. DeMint did support Romney in 08.
I ask this question because apparently he has said some very positive things about RP.
He also is allowing Pauls campaign to use his voice for phone calls.
If thats the case, DeMint may be facing a little backlash.

At the end of the day, Paul has taken a lot of heat from the establishment.

Likewise, Gingrich has taken some heat as well.

You would have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see that the establishment is pulling for one Mitt Romney.

The first line is a lie "He has a solid, unshakeable base. His poll numbers are rising, not sinking. He hasn’t had to go negative. He hasn’t had to deliver a speech to get past his newsletter-induced Reverend Wright moment. "

Half of his base are Democrats.
Paultard called Bachmann Islamophobic and Santorum both Islamophobic and homophobic. Paul has his own newsletters and personal statements, which are as bad or worse than Reverend Wright. Paultards excuse is incompetence.

It is no surprise that RP has and his followers have gained traction politically in the last six years.

Our economy has tanked, the war against Islam is a really tough grind, and we have a Democrat controlled government that is clueless on how to turn the nation around.

These conditions set the stage for zealots and political cults to prosper.

So, the emotion behind RP is understandable. However, his positions are so wrong, it is obvious to the sane among us that his cure would be worse than the disease.

That is why he and his supporters can only be spoilers, never winners.

The net effect of RP’s followers this election will be to hand the nation back to Obama, because Republicans will not agree with their far out requirements. They will sit at home or vote Democrat because the Dems are closer on their social values (let me do what I want).

That is the bottom line, and why RP supporters should be held in low regard. They are not conservative, and care more for themselves than for their nation.

Ron Paul was horrible in the debate tonight. Only the low intellect of his supporters could explain the results that indicate a win for Ron Paul. The man makes absolutely no sense at all. He rambles and says nothing and his supporters cheer. It’s amazing. These same low intellect Paulers still argue about the separation of church and state.

“He hasn’t had to go negative.”

OH PLEASE! RP leads in the number of mean attack and smear ads (and comments) against virtually ALL the other candidates (including now absent Michelle Bachmann).

“He hasn’t had to deliver a speech to get past his newsletter-induced Reverend Wright moment.”

YET. His time is coming, to be accountable for all his leftist and racist associations - if he’s even capable of it.

And if he helps to re-elect BHO (to continue the destruction of our country), he knows what he’s doing full well, and he should be vilified as a traitor.

RuPaul talks a big game on the Constitution as it suits him, and his zombie fanatics buy it (because they don’t know any better), but millions of the rest of us do NOT. In twenty years, he hasn’t been effective in bringing about any of the changes he loves to blather about - he’s all talk.

This says it all:

Jeez, it's hard to figure out what this guy is talking about, even before you get to this nugget:

Put differently, we are carrying a Jenga into a moon bounce, with the role of the Jenga being played by civilization as we know it.

Uh ... okay ...

These things inspire something more dangerous than fear in the hearts of elites (and of normal people who can’t quite bear the thought of deciding to comprehensively reject the elites’ global leadership). They inspire contempt.

Natural a reaction as it may be for some, contempt for Paul, his supporters, and his sympathizers is so dangerous because it reinforces the sense that the response of the establishment elite to the global economic crisis should leave only a crazy person feeling worse than ever about the U.S. and the world.

I guess he's saying that the "establishment" has contempt for Paul and his fans and that they shouldn't.

Maybe, maybe not. But Paul's fans have just as much contempt for the rest of the party -- probably much more.

To judge by some of the blogs they write, Paulites are not victims, and they have more than enough contempt to go around for people they disagree with.

The democrats pay no attention to the constitution, the republicans claim to defend the constitution but they use very political correct language in doing so and even then their actions do not measure up to their words.

But some one comes along and uses strong words in their belief and defense of the constitution and the people who make a lot of small talk about believing in the constitution calls them dangerous nut cases.

It reminds me of people who will in church pray to God in the name of Jesus but on the street will not even acknowledge his name.

Which means to me that most people like the sound of the constitution but only for them selves and no one else and then only if it does not interfere with their personal safety and security.
