I predict he will pull the Cindy Sheehan voters from the Democrats far more than he will affect the Republican primary.

Ron Paul speaks for Sheehan, Fonda, Kennedy, Pelosi, Reid and Chavez on the war. Not “conservatives”...

That’s true, as long as the war is the main issue.

There are a lot of conservatives who find his views on the Constitution Goldwater-esque, myself included. But I’m a Hunter guy.

I think this is more than enough to explain why liberal Democrats are supporting Ron Paul for President. He’s better aligned with their thinking than either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

I don't think Ron Paul is anything like Obama or Hilliary. His votes are consistently for small government and freedom. To tie the small areas where Ron Paul and the democrats intersect then imply he is more of a democrat than a republican doesn't hold water. I’m sure there are a lot of adulterers who will be voting for Rudy Guliani and maybe one of his kids. I’m sure there will be a lot of polygamists voting for Mitt Romney. I’m sure there will be an a lot of anti-free speech pro immigration amnesty advocates who will be voting for John McCain and I’m sure there will be a lot of dumbasses voting for Fred Thompson because “Law and Order” is their favorite show. I am sick of these guilt by association threads; and I’m still voting for Ron Paul in spite of them.

Under a republican president and republican congress, the size of the federal government grew 2-3 times inflation. Ron Paul voted against this expansion of the federal government. That's a real conservative.

Sure he does pal. You're just pissed because he has more grassroots support than all of the other candidates. Military folks are coming out supporting Paul. Folks are sick and tired of us meddling and nation-building in the Middle East, fighting half-assed wars, letting the MSM/Dims trash our troops while an incoherent Bush administration refuses to stand up to them. Fight a real WOT or don't fight one, despite the cocoon that exists on FReeperland otherwise.
