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.

What Ron Paul Is... A candidate for President.

What Ron paul Isn't... Going to win.

Here's a great line about Run Paul:

"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” ?

[Revelation 911]

is this the part where we bash him ?

The point of participating in an election is to pull the government toward your point of view. You do that by voting for the candidate that best represents your point of view whether you think he's going to win or not.

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.

Paul is the lone antiwar Republican in the race...

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.

... it’s just that nuts and morons get to vote too.

Best line of the article.

What Ron Paul is (and what he isn't)

I can tell everyone that in just a few words.
What he is:
A white flag waving coward
A blame America first anti-American.
A terrorist appeaser.
What he isn't:
Sane
Patriotic
Worthy of any office higher than dog catcher.

Ron Paul is a vanity candidate. That’s all. And he won’t get re-elected either. He has no reason to be in public service.

[Jonathon Spectre]

Enjoy whatever authoritarian, pro-government, statist nightmare you "conservatives" nominate to represent you.

What Ron Paul is: A loon.

[steamroller]

tom tancredo is ron paul without all the weird bullcrap-tancredo makes sense and he answers questions honestly

(”Ron Paul and his flaming antiwar spam monkeys can Kiss my Ass!!”- Jim Robinson, Sept, 30, 2007)

It’s been obvious from the start that Paul would not be able to win the GOP nomination, or in some other manner get elected. But, I guess it’s easier to go after a hopeless candidate than to find one worth voting for.

So ...

“Smooch”.

Feel better now?

Ron Paul’s campaign for the Presidency now presents a serious challenge to those who love liberty and seek its preservation against the Islamist assault on our civilization.

Don't deny the man his rightful constituency.

[DesScorp]

What he IS is a Libertarian nutbag.

What he ISN’T is a Republican.
