You can pimp for him all you want E3, but the FACT is that Paul marginilized himself with his own whackjob comments in at least two debates I saw on TV this year.

Paul is precisely like a friend of mine that declares we are in an unjust war b/c there is no “Declaration of War.” The authorization to use force is precisely that. If Paul has a problem w/ it then he should look to Congress (who apparently do not posess any testicles among the lot of them). To me, the difference between the authorization to use force and a formal Declaration of War is a distinction w/o a difference.

Paul’s position on why they (Islamists) attack us over here is utter bullsh!t! I lost a friend in 9/11 and this is personal w/ me. People like him can go suck eggs.

I used to respect Paul. No more. ‘Pod.

PS, I hate what the GOP has become as much or even more than you do. By no means am I a cheerleader for it.

Yeah, but we're not the ones throwing poison in the GOP well either. It's not just with Ron Paul either. Look at some of the horrible anti-Mormon crap and the baiting on the Mitt threads.

Many of us make very positive posts about Fred, Mitt, Duncan, Tanc, etc. If we get a fair shot at the nomination, many (probably a large majority) of us want to support the GOP nominee as long as it isn't that leftwing mayor. But we get the strong impression that we've been drummed out of the GOP here and elsewhere.

If they don't even want our votes, we're not going to run crawling and begging for them to take them.

It's fine not to agree or support Ron Paul. Everyone has their favorites. But utterly trashing Ron Paul and his supporters on dozens, perhaps hundreds, of threads is just extended personal attack. This thread is only a minor sample of it. For another, take a look at this one which some mod placed in Breaking News. When it turned more positive toward Ron Paul and became probably the most popular thread on FR after over a thousand posts, they had to remove it. Apparently, it was doing too well. I suppose that's our fault too.

Actually, it was precisely an attempt to avoid declaring war.

Actually, among foreign policy experts, his position is not even a subject of controversy. Check out the "Educating Rudy Press Conference".

BTW, the man appearing in that video with Paul, Michael Scheuer, is the former head of the CIA's Bin Laden tracking unit.

I'm sorry for your loss, but it doesn't give you any special insight into these matters.
