Lormand and Ron Paul's nemesis, Phil Graham
I knew there would be yet another reason to like Phil Graham.
Why is Ron Paul not President?
um...cause he’s a freakshow?
If Ron Paul is so insignificant, why is there so much discussion about him? I have read dozens and dozens of articles linked from this site and others that talk about how insignificant he is, and how his supporters don’t matter at all.
Seems like if someone was truly insignificant you wouldn’t have to write a bunch of articles saying that he was.
Issue for issue, I’d take Paul over either two.
I just discovered that the Libertarian Party is blatantly pro-abortion.
I can see why Paul did run under their banner.
Wonder what happened to Barr....I didn’t know he opposes the right to life for babies.
His mini me Bobby Barr is just as much a flake and his Obama views being anti war, for gay marriage, legalize drugs, and Bobby Barr is on his third marriage.
I’ll agree that Paul comes off as eccentric, but I don’t think he ever really had a chance at winning. His message is what got people moving. Constitutionalism and limited government (real limited government not the lip service we get from many Republicans) is very appealing and at the very core of conservative values. Besides his anti-war stance, I’m not sure why so many republicans pound him so harshly. And even his anti-war stance has some merit. I don’t completely agree with it, but the fact that the executive declares de facto war without Congress actually declaring war is something to be frightened about. It is a blatant disregard for the Constitutional process, and Congress goes along with it, which is also scary.
I think the fact that not enough people voted for him just might have had something to do with it.

I dunno... Cuz he’s a moonbat?
did he run in the last election? Cuz...you kinda gotta run to become prez, dontchaknow?
Because 1.2 million votes wasn’t enough.
I do remember the Bushs in Texas, along with Gingrich and the republican establishment in Washington, being so afraid of Ron Paul getting back in congress in 1996 that they recruited Greg Laughlin to switch from the democratic to the republican party. Paul defeated Laughlin in the run-off republican primary election in 1996 and went on to defeat democrat Charles “Lefty” Morris in November.
Houston PING
Also, wasn’t ol’ Phil Gramm once a democrat?
Ron Paul is not president because he is the conservative equivalent of Dennis Kucinich. He is a nutcase.
Oooooooooo, oooooooooohhhhh, Mistah Kottah!!! Mistah Kottahhhhhh...I know...I know!!!
(Steve raises his hand furiously to get attention!!!)
No, libertarians are all about personal responsibility. On the other hand, Libertarians are generally just a bunch of whiners who drape themselves in pseudo-libertarian cloth.
The Libertarian Party is as much a home for libertarians and the Republican Party is for conservatives.
Good read I heard this interview he did on Iran and gas prices a few weeks ago..good stuff
