Ron Paul - the MoveOn.org candidate.
Ron Paul gives the Image that CNN and Democrats want to Portray for all Conservatives.
ACORN staffers (a communist front group) are also signing on to be Paulestinians to help put a monkey wrench in the GOP primaries.
Now this is a fair and reasoned anti-Paul commentary. Not the BS that we see on FR of “Paul is the ant-Christ”, or how he’s just no damned good.
You worthless Paul haters on this site could learn something from this writer. After seeing the reactions to Dr. Paul on FR, I’m completely in agreement with Bill O’Reilly that the haters on the right are every bit as dangerous as George Soros and moveon.org, if not more so, at least to me. To this point, I’ve felt that the people who basically share my ideas were reasonable and genuine in their concern for America, but my support of Dr. Paul has shown me that the far right is only concerned with power acquisition just as the far left is.
Ron Paul, Hillary’s hope for a third party win.
I like the tone af the article and can respect the author’s uncomfortableness with the concerns he raises.
It sounds to me like the author is concerned that unless those supporting Paul are in 100%, or even75%-90% agreement, with him on the issues than his candidacy should be suspect.
I don’t think that is a criticism that should hold any water. What candidate could pass that kind of test?
I am convinced that if Paul were elected President he would govern according to the same ideals he has held all throughout his career of public service. If the Lefties want to support Paul because of his stand on the war then good for them. They’ll also be helping to elect a man that will be against everything else they desire in a government.
I don’t have a problem with that.
Racists want to support Paul? Liberals want to support Paul? CTers want to support Paul?
Good, let them because in supporting Paul they are unwittingly supporting the candidate who will do the most to promote policies antithetical to them.
Ping for the lists.
One leftist poster over on RonPaulForums & several meetup pages justifies his support for Paul by saying that in order to move the agenda he believes in forward, they have to tear down the 'establishment'... conspiracy seems to unite the left to Paul.
“There are accounts that confrontations have become heated at some of these meetups, particularly the one held in Las Vegas earlier this month.”
lol, well i can attest to this meeting as I was at it. About 1/3rd of the people there were Ron Paul supporters, the room was overflowing packed as the regular republican crowd was unused to this many new people. We just missed the election of one of our members as treasurer by a few votes. The election rules were voted down, due to objections by ourselves and others. Unfortunately, there are some Ron Paul supporters who view ‘everything GOP’ with suspicion and even disdain, but I’d say this is a minority. All of the RP supporters there were registered republicans (new or old) and in fact, there were many in the regular crowd who were Ron Paul supporters too. It is amazing the power the ron paul groups can have if they unite and attend some of these local county gop meetings.
Reactions from the ‘old gaurd’ ranged from happiness we were there and participating and hope we would stay around after the election, to equal suspicion. Some folks there run it more as a social club than anything. The fact is both groups want fair elections but hopefully we can overcome this unease and get this accomplished.
I suspect this mixing with Ron Paul groups and the new blood being injected into the republican party is on display all over the country. The Republican party is growing one direction, towards freedom and dying off elsewhere. They would be wise to welcome the RPers into the fold to grow and advance the party and increase freedom and repeal socialism in the united states.
You can view more of what happened in vegas at the las vegas ron paul meetup site, there is much discussion of this on our forum there.
