I agree, Roberts! Let Ron Paul speak. He may not have a shot at the big brass ring but he has touched off healthy discussions on at least 5 or 6 core issues which need to be openly debated.
On another board, a GOP poster calls him “Ron Paul Revere.”
I like that...
..Osama and Saddam no connection....
Paul is saying bombing Iraq for 10 years was the cause of Sept. 11.....
When did Bush bombed before Sept. 11?...
Bill C bombed before Sept. 11... and the Dem's loved him ...
The Dem's say Bush lied and linked Iraq to Sept. 11 (but he didn't) and did it to lied us in to war ...
Paul does link Iraq to Sept. 11 an Dem's say Paul is telling the "truth"?...
Shouldn't the Dem's be saying Paul is trying to lie us to defeat?
I also missed the part of the debate where he said that.
I'd suggest that Dr. Paul is neither nominatable nor electable. But neither were most of the candidates on the dias for the debate.
Yeah, he’s on something. Is it pot or something else?
They’re promising to read my E-mail in an auto-responder message. We’ll see.
Ron Paul ping
Aside from the content of his statement, there is the utter stupidity of the way he said it: “Haven’t you read....”
Like I believe anything I read these days.
Ron Paul is a good foil to react to in debates. It’s like (in part) having a Democrat there. It’s good the man has some solid beliefs, even if we don’t agree with him.
This is a novel thoery that you proffer: That a nation should never seek to understand the motivations of the enemy. As far as I know, understanding what motivates an enemy is critical both during a war, and in between wars as well to help guide policy.
As it stands right now, the DNC IS the party of DEFEAT. They are more in line with OUR ENEMIES than they are with US.
The FACT remains that the GOP has been BASTARDIZED be the huge influx of RATS/LIBERTARIANS that masqurade as TRUE CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANNS.
...at the very least so we can see more of his wife.
I don't disagree. Regardless of what either he or giuliani were saying, one was speaking "strongly" and another "weakly". That hurt Paul.
PLease share when you get an answer.
I will sir.
Sometimes it is sensible to interpret strong disapproval to fear. In the case of Paul, I don’t think that’s the case. We just hate his views and wish he’d go away.
Fred is a globalist. NO THANK YOU. If that’s his wife, she’s a doll, though.
Yes, this is evidenced by the fact that they are perfectly fine with using force so long as they are in control.
They are more in line with OUR ENEMIES than they are with US.
Yes... at least when it is a war led by a Republican President.

Well, there has been an influx of rats. That is always the price of being in the majority... you attract johnny come lately's who are maybe with you on one issue but really are not with you overall. In fact, a lot of them were on FR. This became apparent when they started supporting Rudy not on the merits, but by tearing down Reagan and the founding fathers. Jim Robinson, in his wisdom, sniffed them out and booted them.
I don't think libertarians masquerade as conservatives. Although, there is a strain of conservatism that I might call PJ O'Rourke or perhaps Steve Forbes conservatism. They might not be with the conservatives 100% on the social issues, but aren't against them either. And you can tell they are not rats because of how strongly they are for cutting taxes, privatising social security, etc.
thanks,
but I’m not a sir, I’m just a white guy.
