It’s been an amazing few days to be a supporter of Ron Paul and freedom. Our successful events in the San Francisco Bay Area, along with your generous online donations, made yesterday far and away our most successful fundraising day in campaign history. On behalf of Dr. Paul and everyone in campaign headquarters – Thank You for keeping our momentum going!

Ron Paul 2008
His campaign is not associated with these kook groups in any way, shape, or form, no matter how many pics are posted of these nutcases who attend his fundraisers or speeches.
then don't come around here. You've got your Ron Paul forums where you can all worship together.
This is a conservative discussion forum. What the Hell do you think we're doing? We're discussing the positives and negatives of Paul's campaign. That's why FR is called the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web and not the "Well, let's just cheerlead the GOP and whichever Republican is leading in the polls" discussion forum.
Of course he can and he doesn't need anybody's permission to do so, either.
...but ALL of the candidates have a major flaw or two, yes, including the rock star of FR Fred Thompson. So if articles pertaining to socialist Giuliani or flip-flopping Romney, or nanny-stater Mike Huckabee or pro-reparations Alan Keyes can be posted here, then surely articles & responses will get posted on Dr. Paul.
And bear in mind that responses such as elhombrelibre's can be posted here as well.
Well, I don't know who has called it anything like that, but I will say that I've seen very few Paulies who can discuss the issues without flinging insults and addressing dissenters in a condescending manner.
And then when we give these people a little of their own back, they screech like scalded cats.
If you're going to address people in a supercilious manner, be prepared to take what's coming.
I don't think we should withdraw immediately either, but let me ask you. How long do you think our military can sustain operations in the Middle East? The price tag alone will easily be over $250 billion a year. It'll be the year 2020 and the same people will argue about the need to "stay the course."
Personally, I believe that all troops should come home before the end of the decade. That's more than enough time for Iraq to stabilize and kill as many terrorists as possible. I'm telling you, a lot of people are opposed to any long-term involvement in the Middle East. Giving a choice between staying there for decades at a cost of billions that'll drain our resources & withdrawing immediately, sorry I'm going to have to go with withdrawing.
Funny thing is they think Jim Robinson isn’t going to purge them because he agrees with some certain percent of Paul’s ideas. I have seen JR respond to the Paulinati, the reality is Jim has a wicked sense of humor, and it cost him nothing to give us that gift as well...
Not insinuating that he needed permission to begin with. The problem is, is that some of the Paul bashers have taken to criticizing Paul's abortion (some have implied that Paul is pro-abortion, which doesn't merit a response), military service, and the earmark thing. That's what I meant about the foreign policy thingy. Hell even I don't agree with some of Paul's foreign policy or his monetary views. So I guess the FR rule of lying about a conservative candidate's record doesn't apply to Paul (re: abortion, earmarks). Whatever.
And bear in mind that responses such as elhombrelibre's can be posted here as well
That's fine. In fact I have no problem with posters criticizing Paul. It's just when they engage in the very kookery conspiracies that you accuse us of engaging in, then it becomes disingenuous.
Then I'll look forward to the upcoming "Will FR embrace cut-and-running to make way for Ron Paul as a presidential candidate?" thread.
We will not need to sustain troops here at the current level past the end of the decade. (Well, not in Iraq, anyway. There is a little problem next door to the east.) However, I believe we will have enduring bases here throughout our lifetimes, much like we do in Japan, Germany and elsewhere. And I support that notion wholeheartedly. It is critical that the U.S. have a stable ally in this region in these times. Isolationist policies simply have no logic in today's world.
That's more than enough time for Iraq to stabilize and kill as many terrorists as possible.
Iraq is stabilizing NOW. Right before my very eyes. Because of persistence and commitment to the mission. It's not over yet, but the progress made has been simply amazing. This is no time to bring everyone home and I'll tell you, the troops don't want that either. They have put too much into this.
I recommend you THANK the next soldier you see.
I know; I've seen him on these threads. The Mods seem to have a good time with them as well. ;-)
CONSERVATISM: Guns, babies, marriages (of the sexually normal variety), tough on street crime, opposition toSCOTUS run amok, interventionism, nationalistic foreign policy, domestic subsidiarity where practical aka "federalism" otherwise, cutting the gummint's allowance at all levels, a ready war machine and national defense far surpassing any other, opposition to the PC propaganda of the left, opposition to the left including to its antiAmerican antiwar efforts. It is nice that paleoPaulie talks a good game on IRS, Department of Education, income tax and (let's be fair to the little twerp) a host of other things on which he also poses for holy pictures while getting exactly zero, zip, nada accomplished like pro-life, fiscal conservatism, faux "constitutionalism", etc. He talks, he talks, he talks, he poses, he poses, he poses, he preens, he preens, he preens. His windtunnel supporters somehow imagine that undermining troops and their mission in time of war is "conservative." Well, it is not. Nor was Neville Chamberlain or any of his ilk.
Conservatives are nationalists and interventionists (in our own terms and not the UN's) in foreign affairs. "Paleos" are neo-McGovernite treasonous weasels and not even vaguely related to actual conservatism. The very term "paleo"conservative" was invented by the Nation or New Republic to suggest division in conservative ranks. What they and the "paleo's did not fathom is that paleopeacecreeps are NOT conservatives.
Somalia was a complete waste. Bosnia nearly so although the world will not miss Slobodan Milosevic. We opposed those wars because they were not in our nation's interest (oil, strategic materials, strategic locations useful to our national purposes or whatever, and because, as a peacecreep himself, what did the Arkansas Antichrist know that qualified him to launch wars in the name of an America which he hates? Somalia and Bosnia were distractions of the MSM from Monica and Arkancide.
If your pal Goering were alive, he would (as a National Socialist and enemy of the United States) be (like ObL) thrilled by the likes of paleoPaulie just as he was in life by a stooge like Chamberlain. Goering also took the coward's way out by killing himself by an overdose of pills on the eve of his scheduled hanging, rather than be hanged by the Allies. He was a paleoNazi and none too brave.

Only if Fred, Rudy, Mitt and Hunter are kidnapped by aliens...
I do all the time...
And thank you as well...
There are those who know the truth...
It is the best entertainment value on the web...
On another matter, maybe, just maybe, if you were in the Middle East on behalf of our country and in the face of our enemies, like Allegra is, you might be able to concentrate on the war issue as she does---positively in a pro-American fashion like a patriot and therefore unlike you, Code Pink, International A.N.S.W.E.R. or Dr. Demento and keep a civil keyboard connected to your computer with respect for her and her mission.
You're full of crap. What the hell do you call "Paulenoids"? Polite and respectful? The rabid Paul-haters on this forum are the ones going crazy over the guy, the ones posting the same stupid graphics and calling Paul supporters all kinds of names (idiots, Paulbearers, Paulestinians, liberaltarians, nutjobs, etc.). And the funny thing is, you know this too, and yet you still lie like this and pretend like it's Ron Paul's supporters on this forum acting the way most of the Paul-haters actually do. What the hell?
we're all beginning to get a little tired of it.
Correction: you're getting tired of it. Speak for yourself. No one forces you to read the Ron Paul threads. No one forces you to click on them. No one forces you to comment on them.
Very interesting. I'd swear this is the same drivel being served up by Ron Paul. In fact, I first thought it was until I saw the attribution below:
Hermann Goering, 1945.
Well now, that tells us where your boy's beliefs are, doesn't it? You know, what with the anti-Semetic sycophants he's associated with, and his blame-America first ideology, I'd say this is a major acknowledgment of his true character. Thanks for the information.
Hey, kiddo, take care of yourself over there. We’re leaving tomorrow for God’s country, only a few hundred miles short of your garden spot. Be back next Thursday but doubtful about online grumbling before the 24th. I’ll kneel in some blessed Texas soil for ya.
As for you ejonesie, you take care you don’t rattle too many Palinati. They’re becoming increasingly fragile you know.
Take care everyone. Back at ya later!
On the way to Texas, bud. You, Allegra & ejonessie22 take care of these yahoos for me while I’m gone. I’m leaving FR in good hands.
