Sep 10 Interview on The O'Reilly Factor 8:00 PM ET FoxNews
What are you saying, that Ron Paul has converted to Islam?
Actually, I think O’Reilly will give RP a fair deal. He will certain treat him with more respect than Sean Hannity did after the debates.
What proof is there that the Ru supporters there were actually Republicans?
thanks for the heads up!
Just in case these were missed;
Paulistinian, paulbearer, kook, nutjob cut and runner,troofer, traitor, benedict paul, ron paul they call me shrimp salad, shrimp, shrimp cocktail,monster shrimp, long john paul’s, earmarks king, unconstitutional spender, pork king, bubba paul gump,liar,losertarian, dopertarian, liberaltarian,lunatic, moonbat, the gop’s rosie, lyndon larouche, gop’s hillary, -—
Did I miss any?
I like RP for the 2nd Amendment stance he has. Other than that, well......
And there’s the primary reason (campaign finance reform) I am a VERY reluctant Thompson supporter. He beats the rest of the electable crowd out there, but not by much.
Paul should boycott Faux News and any other future debates they host.
WASHINGTON: US senate Republicans who are pressing to set a date for the withdrawal of US troops from Kosovo have been ambushed by an unlikely alliance between US president Bill Clinton and the Republican presidential candidate, George W Bush.The two political opponents have joined together in a last- ditch effort to prevent the passage of a bill which would cut off funds for the 5,900 US troops in Kosovo by July 1 2001, and which observers believe was on the verge of winning majority support in the Republican-controlled Senate.
The bill, jointly sponsored by the Republican armed services committee chairman, Senator John Warner, and the veteran Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, would pull the US troops out unless Mr Clinton or his successor obtains congressional approval for continued deployment.
The president would also be required to put forward a timetable for the transfer of responsibility for peacekeeping in Kosovo to European nations, and to certify that all Nato countries are paying their share for the operations.
In another thread, Freeper "DirtBoy" - who has been a steady critic of Ron Paul's foreign policy position in recent days, spiced with terms such as "nutbattery" - reacted on May 19, 2000 to the news of the defeat of the Republican-backed Kosovo pullout ("cut and run") measure, and Clinton's comment that "we intend to finish" the Balkans mission, with the ascerbic comment:
"Great. Looks like we're in the Balkans for at least 500 more years."
KC_for_freedom, on March 15, 2000, posted on FR the following:
I support our warriors, but I don't have to support wars of aggression to do so. Bush doesn't either.
And instead of being shouted down and called a lunatic or a nutbat or a traitor, Freeper "Judge Parker" concurred with him.
Indeed, that very same day Freeper "Vooch" posted an annoucement of a Times Square rally against Clinton's Balkan peninsula policy ("US/NATO OUT OF KOSOVO") that was held on March 24, 2000. The thread was bumped three times, and "MadelineZapeezda" announced a parallel rally at Lafayette Square in DC.
But just a couple of weeks ago, "MadelineZapeezda" approvingly quoted "bokababe's" interventionist comments:
It isn't Kosovo, per se, that really directly matters to most of the world -- it is the principles involved in Kosovo (like "national sovereignty", "international law", or "whether NATO is a conqueror or a defender" ) that easily could determine the future of the world, and the US State Department is making moves that could eventual destroy our own "national sovereignty" and provide al Qaeda with a new base to destroy Europe and us. They are banking on the "who cares?" attitude of most Americans to hide their abject stupidity and greed.
One BTTT for the March 24 rally to pull the troops out of Kosovo was from Freeper "freednumb" who most recently bumped the "Harry Reid: Pull Troops or We Won’t Pay Them" thread from July 20, 2007 in which the word "traitor" appears 16 times on the first page alone.
Have the Freepers who were critical of the Balkans action changed their minds in the intervening seven years, perhaps in the wake of the 9/11 attack? That would be a perfectly reasonable explanation for something that looks a lot like "party over principle."
Paul has more than a ‘nice’ contingent here in NH.
29 ‘mainstream’ Republicans randomly chosen did the Luntz focus group and while it was a biased vehicle to promote Rudy, (all my comments were cut because they were not what Frank wanted to hear) 10% of us were Paulites.
This does not count the I’s, L’s that make up the 43% undecided voters in NH and the occasional D who can put aside the fact that Paul would get rid of all entitlements, or work toward that eventuality.
Other than wishing we could have a plan to wind down Iraq, and stop nation building just as W recommended when he was running, Paul has the best record on life, taxes, guns, and just about everything else one could imagine who calls themself a ‘republican’.
When you think about it, nation-building is for Democrats.
People who have fallen over the cliff for Fred can’t be serious? Fred claimed not to know what the NAU/SPP was when asked even though he belongs to the club that is pushing it. Is he that dumb or just lying?
You be the judge.
Either way, because of stuff like that he doesn’t cut it or deserve to be president when you put him side to side with a scholar of economics and foreign policy and free trade such as Paul who writes white papers and books on this stuff.
(We know why Rudy won’t answer — his lawfirm is up to it’s neck in NAU/SPP and the highway)
Paul keeps winning boots on the ground polls here in NH and all over the country. Even when busloads of delegates were shut out of TX, he still got 17%.
Perhaps he’s a bit to conservative for the moderate republicans on this board, but what makes a moderate republican like Rudy or Mitt any different than Hillary on one of her good days? I ask you that in all sincerity.
Interested in hearing your explanations.
Thanks,
NH GOPer
Paul ain’t no Harry Reid. He is for strong defense and going after criminals when they do something to us, right away. He is for declaring wars legally and then WINNING THEM.
Paul got a bigger percentage of donations from servicemen and veterans than ANY one else. (take that John McCain!) And he consistently gets awards from them for his good works in supporting them.
Oh and guess what? Paul recently had a house party that netted over $102K. This is more than any Romney McRudy dude has ever done at a little ole HOUSE party - but then again, they do everything BIG in TX right?

Out of UN
Out of NAU
Sounds like the perfect candidate to me.
Bravo, bravo...
Honestly — whenever he talks I get the feeling that Mr. Romney had to read a book called “republicans for dummies”
heh heh...
well, i perhaps shouldn’t laugh since I am guilty of the similar switching, although in the opposite direction from those you’ve quoted. :)
Recently I drew up a table of atrocities during the period between 1918 and the present; there was never a year when atrocities were not occurring somewhere or other, and there was hardly a single case when the Left and the Right believed in the same stories simultaneously. And stranger yet, at any moment the situation can suddenly reverse itself and yesterday's proved-to-the-hilt atrocity story can become a ridiculous lie, merely because the political landscape has changed.~George Orwell

Glad to hear you were there! I couldn’t leave work in time to get to the Durham debate. :/
Will be at the Manchester poll this weekend though.
I did. My first thought was "His hair is worn the opposite from mine". :)
