A good chance to see Ron outside the debate format. Not good.

Paul agrees with everything FR stands for except for the war.

Paul says he agrees with basic conservative principles, and then he votes pro-abortion and pro-amnesty.

The Emperor has no clothes.

[wideawake]

in the words of De Niro on The Untouchables, you got NOTHING

Yet Capone was indeed guilty as sin.

[Turbopilot]

Welcome to FR.

What’s the point of your list?

[wideawake]

Yes, you forgot prominent Paulestinian OrthodoxPresbyterian - the one who claims that Ron Paul was a "Vietnam combat flight surgeon."

Despite the fact Ron Paul never went to Vietnam. And was never in combat. And that flight surgeons aren't deployed in combat.

LOL! Your mask of sanity has slipped, little KosKid.

At least you're still living rent free in your mom's basement.

[ejonesie22]

You caught that too...

[ejonesie22]

The owner of this site was saying “up yours” to a Paul supporter.

Just trying to keep the facts straight and that distinction needs to be made....

I guess it’s ok for me to do that, right?

I am past my 90 days and use my “real” screen name...

Interesting little “fun fact”: excessive and inappropriate capitalization in one’s writings is commonly accepted in psychiatric circles as one of the potential early warning signs of schizophrenia.

“How does the GOP remove that (R) from behind his name?”.

Whose name? Arnold Schwarzenegger? Richard Lugar? Paul Weller? John McCain? Rick Perry? Some Republicans are committing treason. What are you doing about it?

[ejonesie22]

Back to Thorazine again...

I don't think any of them are committing treason.

Since you do, what are you doing about it?

How about an ad based on the Patreus/Betrayus moveon number?

Paul’s position is that basically is that we’ve been over in the middle east for the past 50 years, picking sides, supporting dictators, spending billions, and even committing US troops. He argues that government is no more competent in foreign affairs than domestic ones and that all this meddling has screwed things up and actually made us worse off than if we had done nothing. He cited our governments attempt to ‘promote democracy’ and current CIA activities in Iran as making it harder for those inside to resist the regime, because now they are lumped as being US doops, and foreign threats unite local people. He believes Israel can defend itself without us, that Iran is years away from acquiring a nuke, and if it does, how is any different than pakistan, which has many, or the soviet union, which had 40k of them pointed at us? He states that all our meddling and picking various sides in these conflicts has generated hate and ill will by various groups that led to 9/11, saying ‘they hate us for our freedom’ is a fallacy. He thinks Iran is acting logically and like we would if a country from halfway around the world invaded mexico, in their attempts to influence Iraq. He supported the invasion of Afghanistan, but regrets the nation building that is now going on there. I think he believes we would have been better off issuing letters of marqi and having private companies and corporations do the dirty work and keeping the operation limited in scope.

So, all and all I thought he did a pretty good job, and raised some interesting ideas, but the format didn’t allow clear articulation of most of this. In other words, sometimes you would have had to have an idea what he’s said in the past and what his positions were to figure out where he was going and what he meant. I think he is giving a major foreign policy speech at John Hopkins sometime today or maybe tommorow which should give a better understanding of his foreign policy views.

[traviskicks]

eh? any sources for that, never seen that before, is it just in that book?

[SJackson]

Man this thread has really shaken the tree, all the Paulettes have fallen out of it...

No, freepers in general are nuts, the true source of wisdom is the handful of Paul supporters. If you'd read the thread more carefully you'd understand that. :>)

[hedgetrimmer]

What? Mr. I never saw a sovereignty destroying UN treaty I wouldn’t sign Lugar?

Voting for a treaty is treason, interesting take.
