“Ron Paul should not even be considered a Republican.
Who the heck would think that electing an Ob/gyn to the Presidency , during a time of hot war, would be a good idea?
Let him run as the Libertarian that he is .”
Would someone tell me what is un-republican about Ron Paul? It seems to me that he is the only principled person running that truly follows the Constitution. The leaders of both parties have completely abandoned small government ideals and it is simply a race for who can sound the best. I can remember G.W. Bush advocated a hands off foreign policy and a non-intrusive government and I voted for him. But Bush has made Clinton look like a fiscal conservative!
Now the ranter that started this post was quite absurd but he is quite the minority when it comes to Ron Paul supporters.
....and here we go.....
No, Paul talks more about the Constitution, but the way he chooses his battles is far from principled.. he chooses the fight against our national security by arguing the Constitutionality of the word force vs. war, but he has no problem in 'playing the game' when it comes to sending pork back to his district to preserve wetlands or build a cable car in Galveston.
Paul is conservative, and probably a great person, but he isn't the second coming of Hamilton that people think he is..

Actually among Paul supporters that I have seen, you are the most intelligent sounding, not a foul word in your post. The subject of this thread however, he is quite typical.
