LOL
and they differ from the Bush's (leader of repubs) how ?
The anger against him today is caused by his supporters spamming of internet polls in order to show disproportional support for him.
you mean like we spam liberal polls ?
He's right about many domestic issues,
excuse me - I couldnt hear you...please repeat
but he's wrong about the nature of our enemies.
bzzzzzt - he's quite clear about who flew the planes on 9/11
His views aren't a big problem when he's just a member of the House or Representatives
whew - your right .....man if anyone ever dismantled the IRS - could you imagine the pandemonium
The problem with Ron Paul around the war on terrorism is when he speaks I cant tell if it is a Conservative talking or Code Pink?
Revelation911:and they differ from the Bush's (leader of repubs) how ?
You can't ask this kind of question and be taken seriously. The fact that you typed the question is one more example of how Dr. Paul's supporters are making him a joke. Here's a list of differences. I hope you learn something.
1. Ron Paul believes that assisting the Afghan rebels in their fight against the Soviet Union was one reason that Al Qaeda attacked us on 9-11. President Bush does not.
2. Ron Paul believes that preventing Iraq from taking over Kuwait and large parts of Saudi Arabia in the early 90's was a mistake that led to the 9-11 attacks. President Bush does not.
3. Ron Paul believes that stationing troops in Saudi Arabia at the request of the Saudi government was a mistake that led to the 9-11 attacks. President Bush does not. Furthermore, Ron Paul acts as if Americans would want to fight back if the Saudis established a presence in our country. He ignores the fact that the Saudis invested heavily in our country throughout the 80's and 90's. There was some concern, but no one wanted to kill innocent people over it. He also ignores or is ignorant of the fact that Saudi military personnel have trained at military facilities in the United States in partnership with the United States military.
4. Ron Paul believes that ignoring terrorist training in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places will keep us safe from those terrorists. President Bush believes that we should destroy any terrorists that we find training for terrorist operations.
5. Ron Paul believes that taking the fight to the terrorists on their territory makes us less safe. President Bush believes that fighting them over there is safer than fighting them over here.
6. Ron Paul believes that everyone is motivated only by financial incentives. He believes that if we simply withdrew from any conflict around the world that free market solutions would flourish and everyone would be at peace. President Bush doesn't hold this naive view. While President Bush should speak more strongly against Islam, his concessions to political correctness haven't kept him from standing against our enemies.
7. Ron Paul believes that if we hadn't had any involvement in the Middle East then the terrorists wouldn't have attacked us on 9-11. While he may be clear about who flew the planes on that day, he still says that we brought the attacks on ourselves. That idea is stupid and shows his ignorance of the violent nature of Islam. Eventually, we would have faced this enemy regardless of what we did.
Again, I've supported Dr. Paul on many domestic issues. I've donated money to his campaigns. He's right on many domestic issues, but his ignorance of how the world really works disqualifies him from the presidency. By cutting and pasting my comments, you tried to separate these points in order to make a dig about the IRS. I'm not sure whether you did this out of dishonesty or ignorance.
Bill
Could it be that we've discovered he's an idiot?
He wasn't wearing a burqa back then.
>>>>I’m still trying to figure out what turned everyone against him.
They started listening to him.
>> Peden is running against Ron Paul for Paul’s current job.
Thanks for posting this. There’s a hint (nothing explicit) that he supports farm subsidies. Otherwise, his positions on the issues look good to me.
Now I know where to send my $$$ to defeat Ron Paul.
“Ron Paul used to be a hero on FR.......until he dared run for Prez. I’m still trying to figure out what turned everyone against him.”
Ron Paul never was a ‘hero’ on FR. True, there were some very vocal Ron Paul fans but there were also some that found Ron Paul to be a joke. This seemed to solidify after 9/11 but even before 9/11 there were those who were not ‘Ron Paul fans’. I never was a Ron Paul fan and never will be.
A lot of RF object to RP because of his stance since 9/11. I object to RP simply because he is a libertarian and there are too many of his positions (outside of 9/11) that I cannot support.
And then I saw that America deserved 911....
Now that is funny!
Pray for W and Our Troops
I stopped reading when I reached your initial personal attack
now you got it
(Star Trek reference)
‘Ron Paul used to be a hero on FR.......until he dared run for Prez. I’m still trying to figure out what turned everyone against him.’
He demonstrated conclusively he’s a kook.
Ron Paul used to be a hero on FR.......until he dared run for Prez. blamed the US for 9.11 and joined the surrender monkey leftists, at which time, many on Free Republic decided to look a little closer at this so called hero and found him to be a RINO moderate libertarian, not a Conservative hero that many made him out to be...
Check your freep mail.
Ron Paul finally figures out how to get elected president. Get rid of the competition. Ha ha! Ha ha! Ha ha! (evil laugh).
“Ron Paul tends to lean to the libertarian side. I can’t figure it out though.”
Lean? He is as close as it gets, thankfully. If you want more big government nanny-state, don’t vote for Ron Paul.
