Ron Paul Quietly Converting GOP Believers

By John Fout TheStreet.com Political Correspondent 8/9/2007 12:20 PM EDT

Why haven't conservatives leaders embraced their own ideals and come out to support Ron Paul in public?

I pondered this issue in an article in June. I saw Paul as the one second-tier candidate who might have a chance of a breakout from the pack. It turns out I might have got it right. He has remained the most popular GOP candidate on the Internet. This genuine outpouring of support is rivaled only by that for Barack Obama.

Support for Ron Paul = Reefer madness?

Are you denying that close to 200 Israeli citizens were rounded up by our government days after 9/11?? Are you suggesting Brit Hume is a liar?

Ron Pauls campaign is a joke. He has raised about three million and has spent very little.

He will raise maybe 4 million by the time this is all over and there will be a million or so dollars left unspent.

What will happen to that money?

The answer to that question is the real reason why Ron Paul is running.

Which means they are really tired of hearing about it. Same result as I stated.

I think we are getting close to a turn around IMHO.

I am growing less concerned about the dems daily, even the general public sees they are a joke., at least until Big Brother or Idol comes back on.

Sad thing is, it doesn’t raise the bar much for the GOP...

Don’t count on that. I don’t think that California is “Winner Take All” anymore. It is likely that he can find some delegate(s) there. He may get more than Duncan Hunter, for example.

How many 'conservative leaders' are members of the John Birch Society and pals with the 'Truthers'? I want to know their names, so I can make sure to do my part in removing them from leadership.

Why does the MSM follow and report these stories, because they are lazy. They dont have the time or inclination to do the leg work. That is done by producers and interns. Yes, interns. The worlds TV news is a function of a group of producers (think Hollie Hunter in Broadcast News) who are more interested in the food at a presser than the content.

They then feed what they “find out” to the actual stand up reporter.

The reporter spouts it out, breaks down the shot and goes off to their party. Or to the next stand up.

Am I making this up? Not as much as you’d think.

When it comes to 9/11, you have to keep it simple. These guys flew the planes into the buildings and they came down. Too many people involved to keep a conspiracy like this secret.

Instead of showing me cloud figures in the smoke, show me someone who admits to having a part in it. Its been six years...someone should come forward by now.

Gee. Paul isn't a member of the CFR. He wants to take the UN out of the US.

Imagine that. He hasn't got a chance.

America will continue on the course of destruction of our sovereignty.

So I take that as an admission it’s true that our government did arrest close to 200 Israeli citizens days after 9/11. Held some of them close to a year. Flunked lie detector tests etc etc.

PS: Paulestinians was originated by some other freeper, and I think it is a very smart word to describe the Ron Paul supporters.
