This piece is not so much about Ron Paul than about the importance of civil, reasoned debate, which in some instances appears sorely lacking, especially on Ron Paul threads...

We should let Ron Paul’s detractors show their true colors with their cutesy, middle school barbs like Paultards and Ronbots.

OK, Paultards it is, with permission.

So you want to play?

Ok still waiting. Maybe you can answer? Simple challenge to you Paulites. With NO slogans. NO demagoguery. NO sliming everyone else who doesn’t share your faith. Tell me WHAT and HOW Paul would do anything.

Here is his “Issues page”. NOT a word about what or how he would do anything. Just a bunch of slogans strung together basically screaming bile at everyone and everything.

So, you Paulites want civility?

Then explain to us WHAT and HOW a Paul Administration would do. Do that with OUT sliming any one. No name calling, no hysteric hyper emotive rhetoric. No cut and pasting of sound bite statements from Paul speeches. Not projections of your opinion of what you think Paul would do. Opinions are not facts. It nice you have feelings but they are irrelevent in discussing Paul's qualifications for the job.

So present to us REAL plans from Dr Paul, with documented links so we can read them for ourselves.

Being anti-Iraq war is a fatal position here on Freerepublic.

Anyone who openly supports this position deserves to get booted off, IMO. Short of that, they should not have a good day here on this forum.

If he ever polls above the noise, maybe then I’ll be frightened. Until then I’m LOL.

Why are Ron Paul Detractors so Frightened?

The reaction is not fright.

Why are Paulestinians so congenitally dishonest as to reflexively term all reasoned and legitimate observations, re: their idiot messiah as being "frightened" of him?

Oh... wait. Wait. That's a question that pretty much answers itself, doesn't it...?

No other candidate, either Republican or Democrat, espouses the principles Ron Paul supports.

Correct, cut and run is the only candidate who wants to surrender to the terrorists. The only candidate who thinks that if we just appease our enemies a little more they will leave us alone. He is the only true coward running.

Ron Paul may be the best congressman we’ve ever had, but he lacks the understanding of military and foreign policy issues necessary to be president.

Reasoned debate? I dont like Rudy...but maybe you should ask him after the Ferry foray.
Didnt look to my as if the Paul supporters were interested in anything that resembled reasoned.
