The GOP really has become the home of the brownshirts. Yet another reason I am no longer affiliated with them.

[billbears]

Oh these aren't just 'reports'. He has withdrawn his petition and even admitted he was wrong.

That's Saul folks

[billbears]

Well it must be more than a few 'spammers artificially inflating the polls' because this Michigan political hack has not only withdrawn his petition he has admitted he was mistaken about Mr. Paul's stance on his Michigan blog.

Funny what a 'few spammers' can do isn't it? Contrary to the Republican faithful, there is a growing support for an actual Classical Liberal conservative. There has been for some time. We're tired of 'holding our nose' to vote.

Take that to the bank.

“Why not include Rudy also with his anti-gun, abortion, pro-gay stance? I think it’s only fair he be denied to debate as well:)”

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

However, this move (banning Mr Paul) will be a relief to the big government statists (rooty mcromney) running the show now.

Statists hate Ron Paul. Everything he does thwarts them.

If they screw Ron Paul, then I’ll back Duncan Hunter,or Tancredo,until they screw them, too.

I’ll bet it’s coming.

They can’t have “nutjobs” like (Paul) Mr Hunter and Mr Tancredo running around with conservative ideas.
Hunter and Tancredo are as big an enemy to the RINOS as Paul is. I’d say they won’t make it , either, and it’s a damn shame.

[383rr]

Ha ha.

Care to explain the pro-abortion, pro gay, anti-gun, pro amnesty socialist nightmare called rudy??

It seems they already let a dim in the debates, why can’t Ron Paul speak his mind?

Rather listen to a dim like rooty?

[383rr]

Beautiful.

Uh huh. Support for some 'classical liberal conservative' is like eating fatty, greasy cheeseburgers for their health benefits.

Might make you feel good, but it isn't helping your long term health one iota.

Bon appetit. Enjoy the inevitable bypass.

Even if one disagrees with him, Congressman Ron Paul politely raised an important issue, supported his reasoning with history, and refused to be intimidated by Mr. Giuliani’s emotional grandstanding. Without Paul, it would have been a very dry debate. Really, it makes no sense to remove the winner of the debate from the future ones.

Thanks, billbears.

And therein lies the major problem with the Republican party. Its supporters no longer want a politician who would act to limit government and slash it to the bone, they just want someone who says they will and continue policies of bombing any nation we consider 'bad'. That's a policy to run a government on is it?

Bon appetit. Enjoy the inevitable bypass.

Same to you. Because contrary to the few faithful left, this election will be determined by the police action in Iraq. And contrary to the faithful, catchphrases such as 'gates of hell' and '9/11' aren't going to win the election. Most likely a politician who is for ending this farce will win. I hope that it would be a Republican (Paul) but if the 'right' continue their assault on the only limited government conservative in the field, it'll most likely be a Democrat.

Although I do believe to make name remembrance easier Rudy should just change his name to 9/11. It's apparently the only thing he knows how to say even if he doesn't know what it means...

Thanks for that link.

A little satisfaction anyway.

[Jeremydmccann]

Good.

Here is a little email I sent Mr. Anuzis:

Mr. Anuzus

I find it unbelievable that the idea of banning someone from the presidential debate has even been discussed by the Republican Party. That sounds like something the left would do, not the so called “conservative” party. Now I realize that the good Dr. is throwing a monkey wrench into the brainwashing which is trying to be accomplished on stage by the ridiculous neocon robots, but give me a break.

It is quite obvious that I am a Paul supporter, but if you accomplish in the banning of the good Dr. from the future debates, you are going to look really bad and probably lose your job. You might want to think about this before you do it.

Good! Hopefully our voice will reach the RNC as well. "NO MORE LOCKOUTS".
