How can "victory" can occur when we our current policy is empowering pro-Iranian fundamentalists like al Hakim? By supporting a policy that is building up al Hakim and his thuggist Badr Organization, you have already conceded defeat. And they call Paul unrealistic?

Ah, so you don’t want any change then. Hard to keep up with the every changing position of the Paul crowd.

"Your post doesn’t mean anything. Paul doesn’t solicit their endorsements or their money."

That's laughable. Giuliani dresses in drag for a PARTY and he's referred to as a cross-dresser.

What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Simply put, you lie with dogs, you get fleas.

What's shameful here is that you blow off the evidence that these racists support Paul. You don't have a problem with it because he, according to you, doesn't solicit their support?

That's who you're allied with and it's not a problem because he doesn't solicit their support? He has these guys working his phone banks! They're all over the internet, raising money for him, rallying support behind him, on such "ordinary American" sites as Stormfront and by such "ordinary Americans" as the KKK and David Duke. And you write it off as "Paul doesn't solicit their support"? Bullsh*t, he doesn't.

He accepts their money and he accepts their help in his campaign. He does nothing to discourage their support and his supporters, just like you, poo-poo the fact that he has white supremacists actively involved in his campaign.

Frankly, this says as much about you as it says about Paul.

Well put.

“I ain’t flaming ya, kid. He’s our Dennis Kucinich...”

A Ron Paul vs Dennis Kucinich election would make a great sitcom.

When I took a look at his record I could not believe that he actually walks the walk.

His record? What bill in Congress that Ron Paul wote and was passed in to law is the best on his record?

Damn skippy. I'd pop some extra Orville Redenbacher kettle corn, crack open a keg, and invite y'all over to watch that circus act. :-)

Hell, come to think of it Hillary Clinton has accomplished more in her one term in the Senate than Ron Paul has in his ten terms as Congressman.

What has Hillary accomplished?

Does advocating and passing socialist big gov. legislation qualify one as a candidate in todays Republican party? If so, THAT is pathetic and sad. But seems to make a great fit for Romney or Gulianai. How much do you expect a small government conservative to put up with?

It's beyond pathetic and sad, I almost threw up a little when I read his asinine comment about Hillary.

I think it's surreal that some Republicans have unwittingly strayed so far that they'll vote for RINO Giuliani and they have kind words to say about a subversive, thoroughly corrupt, one-worlder witch like Hillary - while at the same time viciously attacking a man who is for limited government, the constitution, our sovereignty, pro-life and pro-liberty.

The bible (as usual) was right when it said a day will come that good will be evil and evil will be good. We're pretty much there, folks.

What is really shameful here is that people who have strongly supported Bush continue to beat this poor strawhorse to death even after I posted that Storm-front marched in support of Bush in the 2000 elections...and never once even commented on their support of him then or now. Do you and the other apparant hypocrites on this thread disavow Bush as a racist? I mean, marching for Bush in jackboots toting the swastika is showing a little more support from them then that shown Paul.(500.00 donation by one member?)

No, it's fear.

Unreasonable fear of Ron Paul drives these unAmerican anti Paul posts.

His support comes from anti-semites and assorted leftist neo-nazi types.

Not all of it.

Maybe you should ask the leaders of the democratic party why so many of their members support him.

Maybe you should also ask them why so many Democrats supported Ronald Reagan. :)

Dems love him because his is screwing up the Republican primary process. They WANT him to be a third party so that Hillary will win with a measly 42% like her hubby did. Ron Paul is trouble and should NOT be included in Republican debates. He is off on his own planet.

Loved this line the most.... “Ron Paul is too cozy with kooks and conspiracy theorists.”

Thanks for the ping, sofaman! Always knew the guy was a kook, but thanks for the information. Sometimes it appears the Paul supporters are more of a cult than a group of supporters. I had someone at work ask me who Ron Paul was (being the resident Republican they figured I was the one to ask). I explained that he was sort of the Dennis Kucinich of the Republican party. She was saying she was getting tired of practically being assaulted by his supporters trying to give her fliers and info on him. I don’t think the things you point out were in the fliers. Reading some of them it appears perhaps comparing him to Kucinich may be an insult to Kucinich!

Whether you agree with her sponsored legislation or not, she has at least accomplished something — unlike Dr. Ron.

Not quite what I said, but I completely understand your attempts at deflection to the point I was making.

What is pathetic and sad is your support of a man who has accomplished nothing in 20 years, and can offer nothing more than lip service.

Pretty lip service makes a great fit for the Paul crowd.....
