After yesterday's spurt in talk radio about Ron Paul, I've been thinking about his positions. I oppose Ron Paul on Foreign Policy (especially his position ignoring the threat of Islam taking over our policy), but have to seriously wonder about supporting some of the other candidates who have not faced opposition.
Ron Paul gets a lot of flak, but why do the others get away with cheating us for doing far worse than what Ron Paul promises to do to Israel? Many candidates like Rick Santorum, George Allen and Joe Barton have hijacked the label of conservative, but are less conservative than even Ron Paul. They support raising debt to infinite levels, deficit funding, support for Islamic regimes like Pakistan, nationalized healthcare (they did not oppose Romneycare), have wishy-washy positions on abortion, and say one thing during the elections while ganging up with the liberals right after the elections.
The second thought in my mind is about Israel. Why are we so obsessed about Israel when the Jewish people seem to vote for the RATs? I think Islam is more dangerous and if we pull the aid from both Palestine and Israel, Israel will win, but this is a situation I don't really feel strongly about. There are much bigger problems at home and my wealth is depleting not merely due to Obama and other Dims, but the RINOs and neocons who have ganged up with the liberals over the years.
These RINOs do not support us but expect our support unconditionally. They even opposed the TEA Party candidates but suddenly claim that they themselves are part of the TEA Party.
So my question to you is why should we give a free pass to the RINOs? Shouldn't we hold them to the same standards we hold Ron Paul to? I can already hear that Ron Paul is a kook, but that is not the question. The question is whether others like Santorum and George Allen aren't worse than being a kook and why should we support them? The other question is why Israel is so important that my savings should be used for them. Shouldn't they take care of themselves?
lol...
Rick Santorum is a homosexual supporter: Google for the words he uttered during the debate, “under a mullahcracy that tramples the rights of women, tramples the rights of gays.” You will find a number of sites that mention this remark from Santorum. Clearly, this remark proves that Rick Santorum is a supporter of homosexuality. Disgusting piece of trash. So this is what he meant when he said we have to embrace diversity? You should know since you belong in the same category as Rick Santorum.
Are you out of your mind?

Only when I argue with idiots..
Yet, here I am arguing with a racist. What are they putting in the water these days when it comes to FReepers from ‘98?
Your comment is straight from the Al Sharpton playbook. Whoever gets the GOP nomination, the Dems will be spewing the same line: "Straight to the Stormfront rally." You just give this type of crap legitmacy. Pathetic!
He took cash from Stormfront. Are you blind?
Yeah, I'm sure they would say that about Herman Cain. /sarc
AND, who pays people to vote for him in "straw polls."
Are people really dumb enough to have not figured out that RuPaul is a leftist dream-come-true and is probably financed in part by Big Daddy Soros???
Who the hell made you the judge of who is a conservative and who is not?
Ron Paul is a RINO in the strictest definition of the word. He really is a big L Libertarian.
I’m a small l libertarian/conservative with enough sense to know that Libertarianism is a utopian dream. It cannot exist in conjunction with even a limited welfare state.
I don’t like this guy, but he never said what you said re 9-11:
Reason: What did you mean when you told the Scholars that “the [9/11] investigation is an investigation in which there were government cover-ups”?
Paul: I do think there were cover-ups, and I think it was mainly to cover up who was blamed, who’s inept. See, they had the information. The FBI had an agent who was very much aware of the terrorists getting flight lessons but obviously not training to be pilots. He reported it 70 times or whatever and it was totally ignored. We were spending $40 billion a year on intelligence. It wasn’t a lack of money or a lack of intelligence, it was a lack of the ability to put the intelligence together. Even the administration had been forewarned that something was coming, the CIA had been forewarned. So it was a cover up of who to blame. I see it more that way.
Reason: The position of the Student Scholars is that 9/11 was executed by the U.S. government. Do you agree or disagree with that?
Paul: I’d say there’s no evidence of that.
Reason: So what did you mean when you told Student Scholars you’d be open to a new 9/11 investigation?
Paul: Well, I think the more we know about what we went on is good. But I don’t think there’s any evidence of [an inside job] and I don’t believe that. The blame goes to bad policy. And a lot of times bad policy is well-motivated. The people who believe in a one world government are well motivated, but they disagree with me.
This JimWayne guy is something, huh? He puts forward a position, pro-Ron Paul/anti-Israel, then claims he said no such thing.
JW is a classic, lying liebertarian Paultard.
Ron Paul = Certified Nutcase
Ron Paul is the 2011 version of Howard Dean! Tweak him and watch him start screaming like a maniac.
“If this field is the best America has to offer, then we are done for. Democrats, RINO’s and Compassionate Conservatives are not an option. I might as well put a gun to my head now and spare myself of the agony that is about to come if 0bama gets reelected or one of these morons becomes President.”
There are plenty of drama queens like you on the left that didn’t go to Canada after Bush’s reelection. I would be very surprised if we weren’t hearing from you come December next year, if either half of your ‘scary’ scenario came true. Go back to hamming with the rest of your RNC intern pals.

You don’t love your race?.. Theres only ONE RACE.. everyone is colored..
You can’t love them all!!.. unless you are a moron...
I have never supported Ron Paul. Show me one post where I support him. I started off objecting to his foreign policy and then pointed out others like him. Regarding your post putting loyalty to Israel above loyalty to America, it is obnoxious. I care squat about Israel, but raised the issue because I found that Jewish people vote Democrats. Someone needs to explain why we should accept support for those who vote for Democrats. Why do you evade this point? Vote against Dims and I won’t raise this point.
How lunkheads like you survive on FR is one of life’s mysteries.
Show me this post you refer to.
P.S. I think you're nuts.... like your hero.
