I tend to agree with the first editorial, but do think there’s some risk to the Republican Party in terms of being associated with some of the less savory areas from which Paul gets support.
“Contrarianism is what the less talented use as a replacement for creativity’
Dennis Miller on Ron Paul
What Ron paul Isn't... Going to win.
"Instead, he’s dedicated himself to fringe causes – such as abolishing the Federal Reserve and returning to the Gold Standard. In the meantime, he’s helped to ensure his own re-election in part by securing pork projects for his own district while maintaining his ideological purity by voting against them on final passage."
I am curious. Has Paul issued any sort of statement concerning the current “Limbaugh flap” ?
Love this quote.
“Contrarianism is what the less talented use as a replacement for creativity.”
Love this quote.
Me too, and it applies to many that hold public office, not just Ron Paul.
‘I am strongly against Ron Paul on the Iraq War but hell he is as good as anyone running in either party.’
Couldn’t disagree more. the single most important issue we face as a nation today is Islamofacism. Ron Paul apparently thinks this is some ‘fad’ that will pass if we ignore it.
That alone makes him completely and totally incapable of being President.
is this the part where we bash him ?
Question to Ron Paul supporters.
I’m curious. I get that you, and me as well, hate war. But I’m at a loss as to what Mr. Paul has in mind for protection from foreign influences and terrorism.
Paul wants the patriot act and any legislation like it ended, even though no one can show abuses of it.
Paul refused to vote for military to patrol our borders. So he doesn’t plan on stopping them there.
Paul voted for Most favored nation trade status for China, stating he was for the same for Iran, Iraq, etc. and would never use economic sanctions against any country.
In March, Paul requested millions to build the Texas Leg of the Nafta Superhighway.
So what is Paul’s plan to protect Americans?
It isn't throwing away your vote to vote for someone you don't think will win. It's throwing away your vote to vote for someone you don't want. Imagine if no one had voted for Goldwater.
It's really because regardless of his other flaws, Paul is the lone small-government conservative in the race. The huge number of GOP primary voters who still care about that are giving him a long look whether they want to or not. The danger for the GOP is that if the majority of these voters decide Paul's other views are too far out, many of them will simply stay home.
I don’t see whats wrong with any of that except the earnmark request for the texas highway...
What is any of the other candidates doing to protect Americans? Paul would stop at least some of the theft, 50% of all money we make ends up going to the government in some form or another, why not worry about that?
Best line of the article.
So who will you vote for that will do what you wish?
I guess you see Paul is back on the Alex Jones show today. This is not good.
