Would this be a bad time to mention “Legal Newswire” is not a real news outlet but rather a place where people PAY to have their articles published?

Tancredo spent the entire debate laughing at Ron Paul.

Is that true? I originally thought it was some backstage mike turned on in error, but someone else told me it was Rudy, and that Rudy has intentionally laughed at his opponents in other political fora. I'd like to know who it was just to make sure I never support the classless jerk again.

BTW, I fixed the typo in your quote. I'm sure it was unintentional, but it did make you look juvenile and unintelligent, and I'm sure you wouldn't want that.

I don’t agree with this. Dr. Paul is not a traitor; however, I do question after every event; there is a story accusing someone of doing something wrong to him.

That’s a little to fantasy land Hillary like to me.

[Xenalyte]

You really don’t know?

[freekitty]

LOL and just maybe they were mobilized better than anyone else.

[Master Shake]

No, being an ignorant, name-calling little punk makes you a kook.

[rface]

yes - it is a bad time.

[AFreeCountry74]

How so? Give me an example of how you think Ron Paul has a misunderstanding of the Constitution.

[billbears]

After all, with 1% of the population viewing, that just makes them able to enrich the mix for RoPaul more easily, since there's statistically fewer "other" callers phoning in to vote.

Of course they have to buy the phones though don't they? Oh that's right ANSWER, Moveon, and George Soros are buying them all and handing them out right? To little groups sitting in the dark depths of a basement ready to overturn Fox News polls!! OMG, I see it now...

[elizabetty]

So let’s see, if you disagree with the War in Iraq, disagree with U.S. foreign policy, that makes you a “kook” ?

No, he is a kook because he REALLY thinks if we leave the terrorist alone they will leave us alone.

However, with a 33% win in the post-debate poll, it is Ron Paul who should be laughing. Of course, Sean Hannity could not resist making the ridiculous statement that the “Paulites” had spammed the poll. The argument, both false and illogical, is used to attempt to plant the seed in the minds of the American people that Ron can’t win, and conclude he is a “wasted” vote.

If it were possible to vote multiple times from one cell phone, then what would be the advantage for Ron Paul anyway? The mainstream media would have us believe that the “front-runner” candidates are so popular, wouldn’t their supporters also text multiple times? In any case, it is impossible to vote twice. I tried it to make sure. So, unless Ron Paul supporters have suddenly become an independently wealthy group of lunatics, with dozens of cell phones each, the results must be representative of REAL PEOPLE. No, it means that the Paulies cared enough about a stupid little poll to vote. This is why online polls mean jackshit. They aren't representative samples of the population. Paul can't even crack 23% in real polls.

[AFreeCountry74]

A name-calling little punk?

Wouldn't that be an oxymoron?

[elizabetty]

Paul can't even crack 23% in real polls.

Paul has never cracked 2.3% in the polls.

When he was relatively sane in the 1988 election he got .48% of the vote.

The RuPaulettes absolutely know how to FReep polls.

It may go beyond spamming polls: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1892621/posts.

No, he is a kook because he REALLY thinks if we leave the terrorist alone they will leave us alone.

Can you provide proof of that quote?

He simply disagrees with the way in which this administration tries to pursue the terrorists.

[Iconoclast2]

Someone needs to ask Dr. Paul: “How would you respond if Congress did declare war on Iran, and upon the Iraq insurgents?”

Presumably, he would reiterate that he does take his orders from the Constitution, and he would stand with his country, right or wrong. Maybe that would minimize the ignorant “treason” allegations that litter this forum.
