Run Paul, Ru Paul, he’s a nut.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

The reason Paul is as popular as he is has to do largely with his sudden support from Democrats

Correction: his PREFERRED support from Democrats.

This reads more like the conservative case FOR Ron Paul.

DEA? Gone. Medicare/Medicaid? History. IRS? The government has no right to take your money.

Sweet.

Ping! ;)

So you guys don't agree with limited government or what?

Why don't you folks debate why we need to be involved in Medicare, Housing, or the UN, instead of posting the usual knee-jerk cheap-shots.

There’s always room for a Paul-Kucinich ticket.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

It's no wonder White Supremacist Website and forum Stormfront.org has come out in support of Paul, as has former Ku Klux Klan member and politician David Duke.

Has the Paul campaign welcomed the endorsement though?

More guilt-by-association BS.

Fred Thompson voted for NCLB.

Who else here wants to abolish the FDA?

Well, I for one, considering, IMO, they are killing exponentially more Americans than they are 'saving' and, besides, and more importantly, perpetuating tyranny over the American people. NCEs stand for New Chemical Entities, new drugs

FYI: FDA Tyranny (a collection of news stories and commentary on FDA abuses)

[Rudder]

I paid real money for my Medicare. If it’s shut down I am owed at least that much, plus interest.

“He offers no constructive thoughts, only destructive ones.”

Pretty sad that nowadays abolishing government programs and actually shrinking government is not considered a viable ‘constructive’ solution by todays faux conservatives...

Anyone who reads this post and continues to support this nut case has to be seriously deranged.

Ron Paul has the same chance of being elected President as did Ross Perot, as did Pat Buchanan, or any other insurgent candidate.

Harold Stassen had more of a chance.

Ron Paul is and always has been a Big L Libertarian.

Any Democrat who doesn’t understand that and all its implications is too stupid to be voting.

I suppose correlation is causation. The FDA is approving fewer drugs, but that is because they are wary of AEs, not because they are tyrants.

Do you think conservatives are for the dissolution of the FBI and CIA (at least in theory)? NATO? The problem with Paul's lists are baby/bathwater types of things, imo.

Anyone who reads this post and continues to support this nut case has to be seriously deranged.

First of all, most of this post is full of ad-homenims and straw-man BS. Second of all, Paul is right on all of the other issues besides foreign policy, and even then I still agree with half of it. This "deranged" FReeper is proud to support him in the primaries regardless of what others think of him.

Enjoy your delusions.
