I'm beginning to wonder if Ron Paul is sinking into the tarpit that ultimately claims all politicians of his ilk: make outrageous claims to placate your base, begin to believe them yourself, and become a raving nutjob.

The claims aren’t “outrageous” at all. Paul asked legitimate questions, such as the Watergate angle, which have been raised by mainstream historians and journalists for decades. Some of us don’t treat Ben “socialist” Bernanke as a god.

For fear of getting flamed...I don’t understand why Ron Paul gets such a bad rap.

After all, I agree with most of what he stands for and at least, unlike the majority of politicians in DC, his actions match his words.

Who could be against:
- Smaller government
- Fiscal responsibility
- Less taxes
- Less spending
- Closing our borders and enforcing immigration laws
- Auditing and dissolving the FED
- free trade without agreements (NAFTA/CAFTA)
- supports Israel
- nonintervention of other countries
- defederalization of the health care system
- belief in the rights the Constitution and Declaration of Independence give us

I know he may seem kooky with some of the things he’s said, but last I checked, a lot of what he’s said is coming true.

I don’t think so.

The Fed is scared to death of real transparency exactly because they have these sorts of skeletons in their closets.

Ron Paul owes his current prominence to the fact that the Republican Party, for the last twenty years, has been so totally asleep at the switch on the issue of limited government.

He doesn't have a lot of supporters

From where I'm sitting, he apparently has enough to have kept him in office for many years. I don't agree with a lot of his foreign policy, but what you're saying doesn't line up with observable reality.

very true, but not necessarily in that order or frequency.

L. Ron Paul has gone so far to the right, that he came back out on the far Left. (Worm Hole related)
