Ron Paul continues to be a sick joke as a POTUS candidate and will continue to be a sick joke as a long as he continues as a POTUS candidate, whatever this small businessman from Long Island would like to think. To respect Ron Paul is to diminish the meaning of the concept of respect. He has some useful economic views in spite of his love affair with earmarked truckloads of pork for Galveston. Her poses for holy pictures as a pro-lifer while ignoring the 14th Amendment right to life and hiding behind his imagined applicability of the 10th Amendment (trumped by the later enacted 14th) to hide his refusal to ACT in favor of the unborn and his willingness to (Too bad, so sad but, but the 10th....) tolerate the ongoing holocaust, Ditto on all counts except the 14th as to marriage between one man and one woman (no twelvesomes, no marriages among sex perverts of the same sex, no space aliens of indeterminate gender, no Chaz Bono, etc.). One can easily imagine Paul spending a few months as philosopher king wannabe debating himself over closing light houses as "unconstitutional," or having a SCOTUS appointment litmus test over whether prospective nominees would abolish the Interstate Highway System because Eisenhower called them "National Defense Highways" and we all know how paleoPaulie feels about anything labeled National Defense. He would probably demand a formal Declaration of War by Congress to supply the military with ketchup and peelable spuds much less national highways. Perhaps you should confess that your real reason for supporting El Run is that you are still carrying a torch in opposition to the deposing of communist satrap Slobodan Milosevic of Serbia by the American military which cannot be gelded without a sorry specimen like paleoPaulie in "command" of surrender strategies for the USA (perhaps abetted by potential Secretary of Surrender Dennis Cuckoocinich). See Ron and Dennis on their knees, whimpering, weeping with Islamofascist AK-47s in each ear, signing the US over to Sharia Law and making DC the capitol of the new World Caliphate. Weepy Walter Jones and Jimmy Duncan would be there on their knees too!
MARTY62:
Romney? Romney???? Did Romney run Taxachusetts as a "fiscal conservative???" Did Romney do anything whatsoever to defend actual marriage (you know: between one man and one woman) from the People's Glorious Republic of Taxachusetts run amok in favor of requiring public officials to treat institutionalized perversion as "marriage???" Other than vow in debates with Ted Kennedy to protect the continued wholesale slaughter of innocent babies and maybe a little lying lip service to the contrary thereafter, just what has the Mittster ACTUALLY DONE to save babies from being sliced, diced and hamburgerized??? Ahhhh, but you admitted that he was a social issue "moderate!!!" Some "moderation" as Katie Couric, Brian Williams, Planned Barrenhood and Wolf Blitzer use the term!!!
Ahhh, but he is a fiscal conservative!!! By da*n, that ought to be more than enough for those ignorant barbarian trailer park Biblebeaters who cling to their guns and... (whoops! that's Obozo's line too!). After all, don't they understand that the health of your stock portfolio and more tax cuts for your bracket and sending more of those wogs' jobs to Bangladesh as Romney likes to do to improve that bottom line Almighty is absolutely ALL that matters! At least El Run and the Paulistinians make a pretense of being motivated by constitutional restoration. At least, most candidates not named Ron Paul make a pretense of dedication to destroying this nation's enemies. Romney is, no doubt, willing to pose on that one too so long as someone shows him how. If the Mittster is the most libertarian leaning candidate, maybe he should free himself from those Republican chains, take the Libertarian nomination with NM ex-Governor Johnson as his running mate, run as the peace, dope, love (any sort anybody wants) and keep on killing the babies candidates no longer having to pose as square Republican pegs in a round civilized hole. Then they can run as the unabashed money-obsessive Wall Street servants that Mittens has always been.
When the Demonrat Destructocrat political machine makes a national laughing stock out of Romney by attacking his religion and some of its curious practices, he will be defended by Salt Lake City religious leaders (of a religion of verrrrry good folks) but the only motivation for social conservatives to support your quisling Romney will be to defend all those fine folks and actual conservatives (not Mitt) who deserve defense for being pro-life and pro-family and pro-American and pro-gun and anti-tax and anti-regulation and opposed to the globaloney which is Mittster's first love.
If we want a businessman, we can nominate Herman Cain who is a real businessman having made and sold pizzas and not a phony who makes deals with the elitist self-imagined "masters of the universe" to carve the rest of us up. I will NEVER vote for Paul or for Romney or for Huntsman. I haven't decided among the others yet but I don't have to until March, 2012.
EVERYONE ELSE PINGED: Enjoy!
Funny uber-rant ping

BlackElk, the next time time you decide to use your keyboard to produce an intellectual bowel movement for the entertainment of those Freepers incapable of dealing with the issues, leave me out of it. I'm neither aghast nor amused. I just think that it's pathetic for someone like you who actually may be smart enough to be logical, tries too hard to appeal to the least common denominator here just to be popular.
