Ron Paul? Gag me with a spoon! What is the draw to this loon?
Too bad his foreign policy dovetails with Cynthia McKinney’s, Code Pink’s, International ANSWER’s and Cindy Sheehan’s, huh?
Ron Paul is a milder Michael Savage. Both get a good idea once in awhile but when you look at the whole package, you walk away shaking you head.
While I’m not enamored by his foreign policy views - I do like him domestically. My overall view is that he’s an honest politician which is a rarity.
Paul is right about many things, but his foreign policy stands are so wrong that I cannot back him. They are dangerous for this nation.
I really disagree with his policy of putting vanity posts in breaking news.
How, exactly, can you consider the Free State Movement a success? Seems the libertarians who moved there were more than offset by all the Massholes who crossed the border for the lower taxes (that their favorite pols raise on them).
I told you guys to move to Vermont so you could start retiring socialists like Bernie Sanders and Patrick Leahy but you didn’t listen to me. You had to muck up New Hampshire which was already a reasonably dependable conservative state. Now, it’s RINOville.
Here’s my take on father and son. They need to hire the BEST Public Relations firm they have the money for. Get their image and message wrapped in a different package and the American public will cheer and jump on the band wagon.
They have been too demonized at this point. Need PR work badly.
1. Ron Paul is a kook.
2. Learn how to spell “people”.
Have a nice day.
Ron Paul is an isolationist on foreign policy and defense.
I’m a peace through strength Reaganite.
Ron Paul is a libertarian.
I’m a conservative.
Ron Paul is pro-choice for states on abortion.
I believe children are persons from their creation and therefore protected by the explicit words of our Constitution.
So, we really don’t have much in common.
First off the TEA party was not a Ron Paul movement at all. In all of the TEA party events I have gone to traditional conservatives made up the majority and not Pualites or any other sort of nut-job libertarian.
Secondly one of the biggest problems with Ron Paul is his Code Pink type mentality. Though he speaks alot about restoring Constitutional government he also perverts Constitutional government just as often as he does with appeasement of terrorists and anti-National Security positions. Much of Paul’s support comes from anti-American types who like his stance on limiting our nation’s ability to defend itself.
And now besides continually giving moral support for terrorists and talking about limiting our National Security he also wants to violate the rights of everyone in the Armed Forces and force them to shower and bunk and be in tight quarters with people who openly profess to having a perversion for the same gender. This is a anti-liberty position by Paul, it is not a pro-liberty position.
Obviously you have some sort of Paul worship going on.
The only thing I like about him is that he is against our being the world policeman.
So, sure, the Free State Project hasn't worked. Plus, it's stupid to make conservative or libertarian policies look like something new residents are trying to impose on old timers.
If you want to move to New Hampshire, fine, you can offset the liberals moving up from Massachusetts. But if you announce yourself as an adherent of some out-of-state movement intending to change the states politics, be prepared to have a lot of doors slammed in your face.
*******
A lot of Internet arguments tend to degenerate into "They did it first" and become pointless. But in this case, it's clear that the Mises-Rothbard-Rockwell-Paul guys were arrogant pr*cks first, and at this point anybody who simply dismisses them has more than enough reason to do so.
