Ten Questions for Ron Paul

6-2-2007 | JillValentine

Some Paul supporters may not wish to support him anymore after reading this. Others may acknowledge his flaws but continue to support him. Either of these choices is a perfectly rational way to behave. However, denying the facts or changing your own views to match and justify Paul's is just plain irrational.

11. Will you be seeking the Log Cabin endorsement like you did in 2004?

I think you’re making a dangerous assumption that Paul supporters can be swayed or influenced by logical arguments. He inspires the same kind of blind insanity as Dennis Kucinich. I can only hope some of them have the courage to answer some of these questions, or at least face them.

“Libertarians are anarchists who bathe”. Run, Fred, Run!

FR's a pretty big tent; many island-nation Buchananites and those who still think Bush walks on water.

I'm with you on Fred (so far).

And why won't this bite stop bleeding...?

[SolidWood]

Very good post JillValentine.

[festus]

I don’t think he will because Rudy probably has that endorsement already locked up.

[Calpernia]

It all depends on who wins the primaries.

"Libertarians are anarchists who bathe”

Bathe ? You must know differnet libertarians than I do............

[cripplecreek]

I wouldn’t say that support for Paul is growing but there are a lot of us who like him on some issues. I won’t support him for president partly because he’s so wrong about the WOT.

Personally I like Duncan Hunter.

[EGPWS]

Lately, there has been a growing movement on Free Republic to support the Presidential candidacy of Ron Paul.

Yeah, as big as the growing movement to support Hitlery for President. ; )

[festus]

Well I can rest assured it won’t be either of those two.

Run Fred Run.

[EGPWS]

....Rudy probably has that endorsement already locked up.

A defeatists attitude.

Exactly, I like the idea of Ron Paul more than I like Ron Paul the candidate. Paul the candidate has the libertarian problem of being a bit ahhem “Technocratic” in their approach to political issues.

That and DU is rounding up supporters for a Ron Paul candidacy, including recruiting workers and trying to raise money for him.

I will point this out:

1. Ron Paul voted for the war in Afghanistan.

As to the other questions, people who plan on voting for Ron Paul should answer them.

[Rameumptom]

Paul is a genius on domestic issues and crazy on foreign policy issues.

All the Dems supporting him in the online polls for his anti-Iraq statements would be crappin their drawers if he was elected. They could say bye bye to all their precious socialist programs.

At this point in time, there is only one issue that is of importance: Which candidate will be most likely to put the brakes on the continuing confiscation of our guns.

[TheLion]

Paul is simply unelectable.

[P-40]

His supporters claim that he is the only true conservative candidate, and that Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, Fred Thompson, etc. are not conservatives.

I haven't seen that at all...and frankly, a lot of those questions don't make much sense.

[Moonman62]

I wanted to ask him about the blue capes, the Nike sneakers, and the mothership.

[eleni121]

Clear and eloquently concise list of questions that expose the liberaltarianism of Paul.

[JillValentine]

Perhaps I worded that sentence poorly. I think support for Paul here is increasing, but it certainly isn’t big or anything close to the majority. His supporters are very vocal, though.
