Now go put some words in someone elses mouth.
So he is not a Jewish hater, as you decribed, and he is not a big government spender..So what do you not like?
If you could be a little more specific, you wouldn't risk having others try to interpret what you mean.
And if you didn't call him a big spender, just what was the point in listing the earmarks Dr. Paul submitted? That he was a hypocrite? Or that his earmarks kited up the fiscal budget?
Look, it's the oldest trick in the bag of political tricks to smear a candidate by association. Nixon was expert at it, as was LBJ. Your contending that it's some of Paul's kooky followers that got you started examining his record is transparently false. If anything, you already knew his record -- one part of it, his opposing the Iraq invasion -- and from that point forward looked for anything and everything that could paint him as someone the folks on this forum would dislike.
There are no doubt followers of your candidate who worship snakes. Most of us would think these types a bit kooky, but I'm not in the least concerned that Fred Thompson, if he were to become President ofthe United States, would invite them to do a worship service in the White House.
