‘Dondero once had a bright future as a staffer, perhaps even building up to becoming a congressman himself. He threw it all away, mostly over his own idiosyncrasies and personality issues.’
Hmmm. Thanks for the insight.
You do realize your last sentence is how most of us view Ron Paul, right?

Badeye, I don't object to people having differences or disagreements with Ron Paul. It's the blatantly false attacks, repeated endlessly, that I don't like.
It's not just with Ron Paul threads either. You see this on all the candidate threads. I think we're seeing a little better policing of the threads recently, maybe we have some new mods or they're back from vacation. But FR's candidate threads were all starting to look like circular firing squad material. I think that hurts FR over the long haul. FReeperes should support or oppose whoever they like (except for leftwing gun-grabbing sodomy-embracing morally-corrupt mayors) but it's not in the interest of the forum to let people run wild just trolling on other candidates.
For every candidate, there are legit pro's and con's. And there are a lot of attacks that simply have no merit and make our forum unappealing. In the end, all the GOP candidates except one will lose. So it's not about whether a particular candidate wins or loses so much as to whether we have a bitterly divided forum when its all over. Again, circular firing squads don't help the GOP's eventual nominee or FreeRepublic.
