I know many good conservatives including on FR who will never again go near a Tea Party event.
The Ron Paul loons have hijacked them with the crapOla including handing out 9/11 Truther material.
Have seen this first hand and have head the same thing from other states.
Ron Paul’s anti war , close Gitmo and bring the trial to NY,
and other Far Left views are no different than Obama’s.
It is great to have small Gov. but with Ron Paul’s foreign policy, America won’t have any government. I thank
Republicans, especially the Conservative ones for keeping
the Ron Paul loons from not destroying this country.
The Tea Parties I witnessed had middle-aged people from all walks of life and from different races. I haven't heard of anyone handing out 9/11 Truther propaganda flyers. I don't know what Tea Parties you're talking about - the ones where they actually serve tea and crumpets?

Horses--t. Ron Paul has denounced the Truthers, white supremacists, and kooks a million times over. A small handful of them tried to exploit his campaign - all to discredit him because his movement was gaining traction. It's too bad you don't realize this, because all those people participating in the Tea Parties now were inspired by Paul first. I've been to the rallies and there were NONE of the kooks you talked about. In fact, Paul held a (for some reason my link is not working, but here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BWFD4qPAfc) Veteran's Day rally in Philadelphia in 2007 supporting and thanking the troops. Is this something a 9/11 Troofer/white supremacist/isolationist kook would do?
I don't care how many times you post this. I have ignored it because I have moved past Ron Paul and moving forward to support Palin, but keep in mind it's just isn't true.

Ron Paul is in his mid-70s. He is an aging Congressman who has already said he's not going to run in 2012. I don't agree with his foreign policy and war views - but you cannot deny that he has single-handedly revived the small gov't movement back in the GOP. He completely ripped the mask off the two-party facade. That is my point - that his campaign has inspired many ordinary Americans to get involved again.

Ron Paul has no control over foreign policy, his views are completely irrelevant. He will not be the nominee - so why worry about him?
I 100% agree. I wish that we could see an official thread stating that FR does not and will not ever support Ron Paul who is 100% a left-wing radical when it comes to foriegn policy.
