Why the GOP must nominate Ron Paul (Mod advisory: Why they call it dope)
SmallGovTimes.com ^ | October 2nd, 2007 | Joe Dumas, SmallGovTimes.com

Why must the Republican Party nominate a 72-year-old grandfather from the Gulf Coast of Texas, until the past few months little known outside his district, as its 2008 standard-bearer? Very simple: the alternative is eight years of President Hillary Clinton. That ought to be enough to get the attention of every conservative who happens upon these words, so let me explain.

It should come as no big revelation to anyone inside or outside of the Republican Party that the GOP has lost touch with its conservative roots. Massive deficit spending that would make Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter blush; foreign adventurism beyond the wildest dreams of Woodrow Wilson or Teddy Roosevelt; more big government programs than FDR or LBJ (Google “Medicare expansion” for a massive example) ... the Republican Party of the early 21st century is clearly not your father’s or grandfather’s GOP.

There are no more Robert Tafts, no more Barry Goldwaters, not even any more Ronald Reagans (as imperfect as he turned out to be after reaching the White House) ... except one: Ron Paul. Dr. Paul (an OB/GYN who has delivered more than 4,000 babies) is the last, best hope for the GOP to reclaim its once-upon-a-time status as the party of limited government.

That's just horrible! I'm glad nothing like that ever happens on FR! As one of the few pro-Paul FReepers, I never encounter that kind of abuse here. /s

You have. And so have we from the Paulettes, the Rudyettes, et. al. It cuts both ways.

So?

Here is a pic of a stenchhippie I took on Haight street. Would it be a stretch to say he is a Ron Paul fan, assuming he had a pulse?

LOL! That sign says "You Will Give Me A Dollar..."??

So, comparing and contrasting Run Paul’s age and grandparent status with that of Guiliani is going to do what exactly? Is this the best they can come up with regarding comparing and contrasting these two? Weak, weak, weak.

If the GOP did nominate him, I’d leave the party after 30+ years

You'd wait around that long? I'd screw immediately. ;~)

If and when the RonPaul purge occurs, I’m sure I’ll be shown the door. Until then, I’ll continue to post from time to time. And I’ll do so with as much wit and good manners I can muster, despite the presence of people like you.

For what it's worth, this appears to be another non-Republican instructing Republicans what to do.

My logic is sound. My apologies that you could not follow it. Next time I'll try to draw a picture for you.

The puppy is cute. I like puppies.

"And I’ll do so with as much wit and good manners I can muster, despite the presence of people like you."

When that happens, people like me, who have Freerepublic accounts, can enjoy the company of other Freepers who are solid on the one issue which we must all agree on, which is winning in Iraq.

Well you can vote for Rudi in the election if Ron Paul gets the nod. He already said he’d run as an independent if that happens. (sarcasm tag on!)

The stenchippie in the photo actually took the time to add a battery operated motor to spin the spiral.

Imagine what he could do for himself given that he took all that time to make a spinning bum sign.
