By voting NO on this bill, it could cause countless frivolous law suits against gun manufacturers and possibly drive them out of our country.

“so, it’s OK to shoot heroin but not OK to shoot burglars according to Ron Paul?”

If a person is shot, they can sue the gun company rather than the person who shot them, according to Ron Paul’s vote. Thankfully the bill was passed, and Ron Paul lost, and the gun manufacturers won, and so did We the People, because we don’t have to worry about gun manufacturers leaving the country because of frivolous law suits.

Never mind trying to defend Paul’s VERY Constitutional votes here on FR, the neocons will merely obfuscate while they nearly deify so-called “conservatives” Santorum, Gingrich and Perry.

Oh, by the way neocons, there’s nothing “conservative” about raising your right hand, swearing an oath to defend and uphold the Constitution and they casting vote after vote that clearly defies the Constitution. How’s that for integrity and fidelity?

Give up cowtowney, this is just another hatchet job by the so-called “conservative” neocons on this site.

Paul fulfills his oath to uphold the Constitution and he’s vilified here. Santorum, Gingrich, and Perry promote policies that directly contradict the Constitution and they’re conservative hero’s! Go figure.

Many conservative Jews consider the term “neocon” as another way of saying “dirty Jew.” Throwing that word around does nothing for your cause.

You’ve got to be kidding me...now I’ve heard everything. I’m being accused of calling somebody a “dirty jew” because I use a perfectly acceptable political philosophy “neo-conservative!” All because a “few” people in the world of 6 billion + people interpret it this way? Give me a break.

I point out the utter hatchet job of this article and now the “hint” of slander weighs in. Geez, don’t forget to state your views on my reply?

Oh, by the way, the screen name “goodwithagun” can be interpreted by “some” as someone who desires to terrorize people subjecting a name like this to a report to the extra-Constitutional Department of Homeland Security. But, I however would never interpret your screen name like this.

The military gives more money to Paul than anyone else.

Is Ron Paul a Jew hater? Has he actually said this? Any quotes from a reliable source or perhaps a video???

Well, point by point:

1. I’m an evangelical Christian so it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to be a “Jew hater” as you suggest. My Lord and Savior was a Jew. Geez...I’m glad you don’t use hyperbole in an attempt to buttress your case.

2. I’m a veteran from the 70’s and resent your assertion that Paul is somehow “anti-military.” He’s pro-arresting military personnel that break the law, just as I did when I was in the military in law enforcement. Not sure your point there. Are you pro military personnel criminal activity?

3. Of the candidates running, which one actually keeps their oath to uphold the Constitution? Santorum (Medicare Part D), Gingrich (Medicare Part D), Perry? Crickets.

You so-called “conservatives” really make me laugh especially when you mock the Constitution and the Rule of Law when most have little understanding of it beyond the candidates saying they “support it...” how laughable. Or in reality, are most of the so-called conservatives really supporters of the incorporationist doctrine? My suspicion is that most here are...a VERY unconstitutional position by the way.

Lastly, I’ve been a financially supporting member of FR for years, but if I’m to be shouted down or banned because I have a different view of what a conservative is vs. others here...so be it.

You’ll never get the facts of Paul here ColdSteelTalon, just smear and accusations about being a Paul Bot etc.

So don’t hold your breath waiting for the video clip of Paul saying he hates Jews or Israel. No, they’ll take something he said and then by inference (a real intellectually honest debating tool (sacrasm)), paint him as a hater of Jews. This is the anatomy of a political smear.

You have nothing to say to the substance of the article, I see. Just namecalling.

As for this gun owner, I will never vote for Paul. For ANY office.

Neolibs, aka, LIBertarians, act as if Ron Paul is perfect, and he’s FAR from perfect.

While he mostly votes pro-2nd amendment, he undoes it with a horrendous vote like this, which could have caused gun manufacturers to leave our country.

Again, if a person is shot, they could sue the gun company rather than the person who shot them, according to Ron Paul’s vote.
