Ahem, how about your crazy uncle at Thanksgiving?

I agree with him on some things, but he sounds like an isolationist, and does a good job of blaming America.

Don’t agree with that. Don’t like it.

If you’re asking if Dr. Paul is a tax raising, big spending, spineless, wanna be Democrat, no he is not a Republican.

He is obviously a Libertarian. Paul remains in the GOP because he realizes the futility of third parties, and he gets vastly more attention at GOP debates, forums, townhalls, and straw polls, then he would ever receive at similar Libertarian Party events.

RuPaul is for RuPaul, and no one and nothing else.

He is somewhere a LaRouchian and a Pat Paulsen.

Is it possible to be both a Republican and a libertarian (note the small “L”)? Or does being a Republican mean that the desired size of government and level of taxation be larger than what libertarians (again, note the small “L”) propose?

He’s neither. He’s a reactionary who thinks he can simply stuff the genie back in the bottle and return the USA to 1895 if he huffs and a puffs hard enough.

Paul has this reputation as a fierce Libertarian, but in light of recent evidence, it was vastly undeserved. If you look at his voting on spending, he is actual okay with unbelievable amounts of pork.

No it comes he is a complete failure as a businessman. He claims that his newsletters printed things he totally disagreed with, and continued to do so. Keep in mind, this was a small newsletter than had a few workers, at most. If he can't even manager a small newsletter competently, how could he manage to run this country??

To top it all off, when his failure as a businessman was exposed, he didn't own up and take responsibility, he is full of excuses and wants to be bailed out like every other nanny state moron. Why is he better than irresponsible unions or government agencies? He had the same failures in a much smaller venue. His excuses were no different than Clinton or Obama's.

How can anyone argue anymore that he could lead this country, when he failed to run his Howard Stern-newsletter? He's just another government leach who knows nothing of what actual Americans face or what it's like to run a real business.

At the end of the day, reputation aside, Ron Paul isn't that far from Obama. They are both failed community organizers, with socialist tendencies.

1st of all, he’s a Nut.
After that, he’s an isolationist.
Republican? No.
Libertarian? Maybe.

Ron Paul is both republican and libertarian, but he is neither Republican nor Libertarian. I can't see any good reason to want to conflate those terms.

I can think of reasons, but none of them are good.

Is Ron Paul A Republican or a Libertarian?

(Excerpt)

He may be a kook but at least he isn't a blogpimp.

Blog pimping for RUN Paul won't score you points. That, and running down candidates like Newt.

Paul is a kook, fringe idiot.

He’s a Jefferson/Jacksonian Democrat, not a Lincoln Republican.

Most Freepers wouldn’t recognize their ideas in the 1860 platform of Abraham Lincoln, either, which was hugely in favor of a federal government subsidized railroad.

A stopped clock is right twice a day, as is Congressman Paul; but I consider him more of a LooneyToonian. Th-th-th-th-that’s all, folks!

Ron Paul is a bitter, crazy old coot.

He's also a libertarian.

He claims to be a Libertarian who found it expedient to claim to be a Republican to get elected.

I would caution that the real question and choices should be:

Is Ron Paul:
A. A Libertarian?
B. A Republican?
C. An Isolationist?
D. A nut bag?

My choice is D
