Even in GA they can smell Ron Paul's defeat coming.

Wouldn’t be he worst.

Probably would break a lot of old 60s hippies hearts.

[The_Republican]

Ron Paul deserves better.

[BellStar]

Do you believe he is going down?

[ari-freedom]

Paul is “something of an institution,”
-

belongs in one

[Sun]

Ron Paul should drop out of the presidential race, and ask people to give to his congressional campaign, instead.

[Impy]

I think he has suspended pointless POTUS activities but not officially “dropped out”.

I like him in congress, he’s the only one who always votes against every piece of crap they churn out.

[counterpunch]

Ron Paul deserves better.

Texas's 14th deserves better. And so does the GOP.
Ron Paul has brought shame upon himself, his district, and his party by running a national campaign against President Bush and the United States of America.

I don't care if he claims to be a libertarian. Throw the anti-American bum out.
 

[The_Republican]

He used to be one of the BIGGEST Heros on FR and an ideal Republican candidate for YEARS.

Now that people disagree with him, he becomes an enemy.

Too narrow minded in my view.

People have to be allowed to breathe and disagree and charges of Treason should be reserved for those who actually commit it, such as Klintons handing over the missle guidance technology to China over the objection over their own Defense Dept. just because their biggest donor was putting pressure on them.

Ron Paul is not anti-American. He was and still is a great Aemrican, who is not afraid to disagree with the masses.

[Names Ash Housewares]

I never even heard of him until last year.
And what I heard turned me off fast.

Pulling all our troops out globally everywhere,
courting 9-11 truthers,
Iran has no military,
Three subs could protect the US,
Bizarre economic ideas
That we live in a near police state.

Fuggetaboutit.

[counterpunch]

Now that people disagree with him, he becomes an enemy.

So we're supposed to support someone who no longer agrees with us?
He is an enemy, because as far as Iraq and the WOT goes, he is another vote in Congress for liberal Democrats.
Maybe it was cute when the GOP had a wide majority, but it is unacceptable now that they are in the minority.
Republicans need every patriotic vote they can muster in the House.
Too much is on the line to be wasting a Republican seat in Congress on Ron Paul.
 

[The_Republican]

If someone doesn’t agree with your view point they are traitors? You have some devine knowledge?

[napscoordinator]

Ron Paul may just regret running for President. It might just be his downfall.

[counterpunch]

Ron Paul has blamed America for 9/11 and called the WOT made up.
So yeah, he is a traitor in the purest sense of the word.

Ron Paul votes against funding our troops in harm's way.

For anyone who calls themselves a Republican, this must be an absolute non-negotiable deal breaker.
What say you?
 

[The_Republican]

I disagree with him. He wants to bring troops home as soon as possible. That doesn’t make him a traitor. He has his view of what is best of America and he fights for that view.

This you are with us or against us nonsense has gotten pretty much everyone against us.

Unless we can respectfully agree to disagree we won’t have anything left to fight for.

[counterpunch]

You sound just like Ron Paul.
Anyways, you're changing the subject.
I was addressing specifically him joining Dennis Kucinich, Jim McDermott, Barney Frank, Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters, Diane Watson and Lynn Woolsey to vote against funding our troops in Iraq.

Now would you like to try answering the question again?
 

[The_Republican]

Treasonous? What took you so long?

He wants to bring troops home I assume. He obviously doesn’t want 150,000 US soldiers left without supplies and perish in the desert. To assume that is just nuts.

[counterpunch]

You are the one assuming that he doesn’t want to leave 150,000 US soldiers to perish in the desert without supplies.
Because it sure looks that way to me when he votes to do exactly that in the House.

Strike two.
You want to take one last swing at it?
