****The Ron Paul flame wars of 2008 are going to be more annoying and less pertinent that the Buchanan Brigade flames of 2000.

Ron Paul will never, ever, ever, ever, ever be President of the United States. Not ever.*****

It seems to me that all the venom on this forum is coming from the Ron Paul haters.

Pat B had a lot of baggage in 96, but if he had got the Republican nomination that year, I think he would have defeated Clinton. Ron Paul has none of the baggage compared to Pat B. Now the “Powers” in the Republican party want to nominate another Dole, read Giuliani, Romney, Thompson, or McCain. They will get the same result, another Democratic victory.

The powers that be are always telling us that we should never let the perfect be the enemy of the good, but they continue to dump on Ron Paul because of his stance on the war and foreign intervention. In all other areas, Ron Paul is talking about the basics of the Republican party, lower taxes, less government, more freedoms, etc. Of course when the Republicans had power, congress from 94 and congress and the presidency from 2000 to 2006, they didn’t do a d*mn thing to lower spending or make a smaller government.

An enemy of the republic such as Ru is well deserving of such venom.

LOL! That's why I love these Paul threads - the unintentional humor. If Pat had been the nominee, he wouldn't have won a single state. Ron Paul can't even get 5% in the polls and you sit there and criticize candidates who poll in the double digits. Get a clue.

Ron Paul's traitorous views on foreign policy trump any domestic policies he advocates (which aren't all that consistent anyway).

Ron Paul would forsake the most important role of government, protecting its citizens.
