Well, of course, not everyone is against him. Some FReepers are supporters.
We often hear the "surrender" thing, but that is misleading.
We also hear the "anti-semite" thing, but that is simply wrong.
Then there is the "looney" thing, for which nobody has offered an explaination.
IMO, if one has taken the time to examine Ron Paul's position, one finds that all of the above slurs simply do not hold up.
So you're right; we still don't know what has turned everyone against him.
RP- The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information.
Ron Paul only seems interested in false information and not facts
RP- The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it.
Not true at all. The surge is working and we are mainly fighting Al Qaeda and foreign insurgents in Iraq.
RP- We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies, the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them.
Not true at all. Al Qaeda and KSM had 3 separate training camps in Iraq before we invaded working with Iraqi intelligence.
RP- This war has cost more than 3,000 American lives, thousands of seriously wounded, and hundreds of billions of dollars.
How much did all of these cost America?
