>> the more I read these anti-Paul posts, the more unimpressed with I am with those posting them...a lot of name-calling...admittedly some funny barbs at Paul...but not a lot of deep-thinking criticism of his positions from what I’ve seen.
Ron Paul is a political irrelevancy at this point - and, his foreign policy positions are so infantile as to not require any intellectual response. We’ve been arguing with liberals and Democrats, each of whom hold foreign policy positions IDENTICAL to that of Ron Paul, for the better part of 5 or 6 years ... we all know the arguments by now, and we’ve already picked sides.
At this point - you’re either a hawk or a dove ... and nobody convincing anyone of anything ... so - we take shots at Paul for our own amusement, and to yank the chain of his dozen or so supporters.
Come November 2008, the candidacy of Ron Paul will be but a distant memory ...

And not a third-party candidate.
And yet we're discussing him. Funny, isn't it?
