With 589 uncommitted, it’s still anyone’s race.
Of course it is. We can’t give Ron Paul and credit, can we?
Should have said “any” credit.
What we're expecting is that they'll all get registered and vote! Then we're gonna change the rules and have voting only on the Internet, then we're gonna win! It's pretty amazing, some people think we started off with a plan. Ron Paul, 11-14-07

Are you kidding me?!? Limited government non interventionist policy?!? Why it's...it's...outright conservative!! And the last thing the Republican party needs is to be reminded there are limited government conservatives (although I think they're in for a rude shock come this election cycle)
yea, and I’ll have to admit, those 500 are probably not too likely to go for Paul... Paul’s supporters are generally pretty hardcore. ‘Undecideds’ I’m not sure we’ll have much luck with... we shall see..
A bit touchy aren’t we? Did I give anyone any “credit”? I didn’t mention Paul at all, why do you feel the need for the snide remarks?
why are you guys still on FR and trying to analyze Ron Paul with critical thinking? Get on the bandwagon and start calling him wacky.
Don’t worget his wacky 9/11 conspiracy theories too - That is what made up my mind about Ron Paul! I would not vote for him for dogcatcher. I question his sanity.
I can see this. He’s probably getting a lot of Robert “Sheets” Byrd supporters.
And don’t forget those who love Texas Wild Shrimp !!!!! Ron Paul proposed lots of government spending to support the Wild Texas Shrimp Industry.
We have to change our foreign policy, and ultimately, that will change their attitude. In the meantime, you treat it for what it is, and you try to keep it in perspective. This is a police matter. They attempted to blow up the towers in the early '90s, and they were caught. They were convicted under all current laws. They didn't need the Patriot Act. They didn't need to violate the civil liberties of every American citizen. It was taken care of. We're dealing with a few people. Of course, since we're doing the wrong thing, there's a lot more enemies out there now.
And displays his firm grasp of history.
I think the lessons of Vietnam are worth looking at. We had to stay there, and we had to win. We lost 60,000. But we use another 60,000 because if we leave, there will be a domino effect, and the communists will take over all of Southeast Asia. But after 20 years of the French and the Americans telling the Vietnamese what to do, they ended up being unified. The wars stopped, and all of a sudden, instead of being communists, they became westernized.
And he's as clear as I've seen him about the neocon takeover of the administration and the government.
The moral consequence should be on those who committed the errors in our foreign policy, but that's about 24 people. It's 24 neoconservatives who took over our foreign policy. They should be responsible, and they don't have to pay for it.
24 neocons took over American foreign policy.
Not 23, not 25, an even two dozen.
Naaah, Paul isn't a conspiracy nut, but it seems to me he has an obligation to name them. The Christian Science Monitor inneocon 101 only outed 12 key neocons
There's another dozen running wild out there!
Who will save the nation!
Yeah, I guess I’m touchy. I apologize.
I wonder if Paul recalls that Iraq was indicted as a co-conspirator in that attack?
Apology accepted. Now you can prepare for battle for the genuinely snide remarks you’re sure to see on this thread.
Good luck!
Honest question...foreign affairs aside, do you think neoconservatism have been a net plus for this country when it comes to domestic issues?
****With 589 uncommitted, it’s still anyone’s race.****
Unfortunately, most of the “uncommitted” are old time pols, not a very good source of votes for Ron Paul.
