Ron Paul was roundly booed at the GOP debate after very unpopular comments about US foreign policies in the Arab world.
What about Paul’s question? Do we need 900 military bases around the world? What if we redirected some of those resources and towards defence and spent less on military?
What is your response to that suggestion?
He’s not a libertarian. He’s a moron. As is anyone who falls for his claptrap.
I’m sorry about your fatigue problem but the first item you cite is arguably a foreign policy issue. You may not care for his stand on personal freedom but it is several orders of magnitude less crazy than the thinking of the last nine decades regarding taxation, deficit spending and state support for those with a politically correct grievance or membership in a politically correct demographic.
Take a step back and look at what has passed for sanity in domestic policy in this country since Wilson. If Paul is crazy on domestic policy he’s the least crazy man in the room. Foreign policy? He’s flat wrong and disastrously so.
But Paul has the right answer there for all the wrong reasons (typical for him). As do all Paultards.
So did Andre Carson, when he said that his fellow congressmen want to hang black people. So what? Do you really want to antagonize all of the libertarians? It is going to be a close election. We need everyone we can get to vote for the Republican candidate. We even need some libertarians.
If not antagonizing libertarians means agreeing to that kind of lunacy, then no thanks. You libertarians can stay home. Anyone, ANYONE, much less a presidential candidate, who suggests that we deserved 911 or accepts Osama Bin Laden's view of the world or our support of Israel caused 911, can go get stuffed.
Claiming that a person that has successfully run for and been elected to congress numerous times is a complete loon is itself a completely looney statement.
Successfully winning elections has nothing to do with whether you're sane. Cynthia McKinney is a loon. Barbara Boxer is a loon. Maxine Waters is a loon. Barbara Lee is a loon. Ron Paul is a libertarian. As a libertarian he is against neocon Wilsonian idealistic expansionism. What is so wrong about that?
What is so wrong about that? Did you listen to his comments? The man's a complete nutcase. That's what's wrong with that.
He got more cheers than jeers.

Yes, he did. And everything he said was 100% right.
It's the delusional loons like Santorum that are bat sh*t crazy. It's not un-American to recognize that we weren't attacked for no reason.
But the bottom line is that as James Carvill said almost 20 years ago, "It's the economy stupid." Nothing else really matters.
Ron Paul was the only person on that stage last night who understands the enormity of the economic crisis that we face and who knows how to fix it.
The idea that Romney is the only man who can fix the economy (as Pawlenty maintains) is beyond absurd. Romney, Perry, et all don't have a clue. Electing any one of those bozos to the Presidency would just be more Dubya, and we can't afford more Dubya.
I can imagine it, but I'd rather not, because it would have been stupid. Did we specifically target the pilots of the planes that attacked us at Pearl Harbor? THEY started the war with US, not the other way round. When someone starts a war with you, you don't specifically target the exact individuals directly involved in that particular attack, you f'ing destroy them.
I’ll be glad when that piece of human garbage goes away forever, him and his idiot followers.
The pervert Paul and his use of the term ‘neocon’ is simply his way of saying that he doesn’t like Israel and is opposed to policy that supports them.
Of course he fully supports Iran though and has said that he supports their right to have a nuclear bomb.
Any pretense at all that the pervert Paul is pro-military and pro National Security at all has been shown to be false when he voted to force a perverse social experiment upon the military and support the homosexual agenda. His remarks about his vote afterwards claiming that homosexuality should be treated as equal to heterosexuality show that he is not a true libertarian at all but is instead the nutcase Codepink radical that others have claimed he is along.
Ron Paul and his idiot followers blame America for 9/11, and say a border fence is meant to “keep us in.”
Game over. Why don’t you parasites latch onto another political party.
Pray tell Patrick, why did Al-Qaeda attack us?? Was it Maxim magazine or our “Freedom” that really pissed them off??
For all you moron Paul supporters who blame America for 9/11....
Explain the Muslim terror elsewhere in the world, Spain, London, Bali, Mumbai, etc. etc. etc.
You are a bunch of idiots who will not face the true motivation of the Islamofascists.
Please see post #55
Really?
Cynthia McKinney.
I win. And I could go on and on...
Anyway, the career politician Ron Paul has found his schtick, which works on some folks, I guess.
Paul is crazy, time to lock him in the closet again.
>>Claiming that a person that has successfully run for and been elected to congress numerous times is a complete loon is itself a completely looney statement.<<
FAIL!!!
Cynthia McKinney, Al Gore, Sheila Jackson Lee, and as you said, go on and on and on...
