Why the Ron Paul Campaign is Dangerous
NewsBull ^ | November 11, 2007 | JB Williams

Posted on 11/11/2007 12:39:35 PM PST by PlainOleAmerican

I hate wasting this much press time on Ron Paul. But the Paul campaign is becoming a real threat to the Republican primary process and if allowed to continue, he will take votes away from the most conservative Republican candidates in the party, not the most liberal. This is bad for the party and the country.

(snip)

So, how Republican is Republican candidate Ron Paul?

If he’s funded largely by anti-war leftists, from Democrat stronghold districts and counting on Democrats, Libertarians and members of the Green Party to win the Republican nomination, not very…

Actually, the first one to accuse anyone of being a DUmmie on this thread was PlainOleAmerican, in post #137 directed at yours truly.

Nice blind attack on Dondero. Learn that at your DU meeting? Where the credible link to support your assertion? Or did you think the blind unfounded assertion alone would be enough?

And POA is certainly not a Ron Paul wingnut.

I’m sure that was directed at me, along with being an anti-American Pinko.

So, you pointed to a pro-war vote from Paul to prove what then?

I said, if you’re not anti-war, you are not pro-Paul. You disagreed. Then you posted a link to a pro-war Paul vote as if to demonstrate that Paul is pro-war I assume.

Of course, most Republicans would agree with several domestic Paul positions. The point is, very few would throw national security out the window in order to vote for his domestic positions.

Most conservatives understand that domestic issues won’t matter without keeping the war on terror on foreign soil.

So, exactly what kind of bull are you really selling here?

Paul is for stopping the war on terror abroad, he says so himself. He might be foolish enough to think that will end the war, but most Republicans aren’t. That’s why he’s still below 5% support from Republicans.

So exactly what are you selling?

You don’t appeciate my sense of humor. That’s fine. I don’t like you much either. But what’s your point? Get on with it... if you have one.

C'mon wagglebutt. It was important enough to ping Jim Robinson so prove either of those personal attacks.

How is that a "personal attack"? An overall observation of the majority of a candidate's supporters by definition cannot be a "personal attack".

But how's this. Paul wants to remove all American troops from Europe and Asia which will give Russia and the Chicoms to start a new Cold War. He wants to remove troops from Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Iraq which will allow the Islamofascists to overrun the entire region.

Refusal to defend American interests is the epitome of anti-Americanism.

We see FReepers pledging to vote for Her Thighness on these threads regularly after Dr. Paul wins the Republican nomination.

Yes, and they are wrong. Seen any Hillary / Ron Paul match up polls?

A lot of the RINO Paul supporters actually are members of DU, so saying that is not an issue.

WHAT????? Freepers pledging to vote for the hildabeast if Paul gets the nomination????

That is too funny. I am here every day and I haven’t seen that one but supposing that you might have, those freepers would have been pulling your leg because there is no way that Paul is going to get the nomination.

I’ll go so far as to say that IF Paul gets the Republican nomination I am going to vote for the Tooth Fairy.

“You can’t have a war on an emotion.”

It’s not an emotion. It’s a believe system that drives people to attack and kill all those who do not subscribe to those beliefs.

It’s a tactic. It’s a war strategy. Not just ambiguous emotion.

Fighting RP supporters, that’s fighting emotion in overdrive.

It's like trying to have an intelligent conversation with someone who is on acid.

You ping Jim, quote my post, call me a Ron Paul wingnut and then change it to anti-American Pinko?

Nope... Was just curious about the angle of attack.

Anyone in politics is an “opportunist” or they won’t be in politics long, which I suspect is Thompson’s biggest problem. He’s not an “opportunist” and it shows.

I suspect many would vote for Hillary over Paul simply to avoid national suicide from retreat...

I’m confused, are you saying that you don’t support Paul’s plan to surrender American interests around the world or are you saying that you do support this but that you object to me pointing out that it’s anti-American?

I’m confused,

That's a fact. You came out on the attack trying to get me banned. So back up your words or apologise and STFU.

Fine, I will ask the question again and make it simpler:

A. Are you saying that you don’t support Paul’s plan to surrender American interests around the world?
or
B. Are you saying that you do support this but that you object to me pointing out that it’s anti-American?
