Post a thread about Reagan and we will talk, just stick to the issue which is Paul. Paul is delusional and dangerous based on his foreign policy ideas. I will not support him , I don’t support anti-Semites.
If you choose to support Paul, go right ahead, its a free country but do not try and change the subject to something other than Paul, best for you to get off the Paul is the only guy who can .....band wagon. Learn who he really is, based on what you have been posting, the man you think he is doesn’t actually exists.

as a libertarian

I think the word libertarian should be retired. It is more of an impediment to rational exchange of ideas than a useful tool.

All it is is a que to start fighting. Whatever emotional you attach to it, good or bad, when people hear it their adrenalin starts flowing, their heart beat increases, their frontal lobes shut down and they hunker down for a battle.

At least Paul has the ability to recognize failure and continues aiming for smaller government. If anything he should be commended for sticking to his guns. In case you haven't noticed, he is not a one man show. You, not so much. You seem disappointed that people who truly want smaller government are increasing in number. Why is that? Do you want smaller government, or a big government that grows more slowly? Which of the two ideas is more conservative?

Paul has the ability to recognize failure

That is hysterically funny, if Paul actually recognized failure he would have stopped running for President two decades ago.

Is that what you teach the children in your life? Go ahead and try but then give up.

Easy calling someone a idiot because someone made a minor grammar mistake.
No ownership I get it.
Otherwise, as I have said before I am still recovering from my public school education.

Anyone would probably be touchy if their favorite candidate was dismissed offhand as a nut.

Ok ok ok D. I was responding to FC's claim that "at least Paul recognizes failure", my children or the dog for that matter have nothing to do with what I said.

The poster commented on Paul which is what I responded to, don't change the subject.

FC said that Paul has the ability to recognize failure

I simple said: That is hysterically funny, if Paul actually recognized failure he would have stopped running for President two decades ago.

I’m surprised him and his buddies weren’t zotted on that other RP thread.

They’re all guilty of pork barrel spending all the while trying to claim to being the most fiscally sound politician in Washington. They go around town with their pointing finger pointing outward at everyone else.

They’re a mindless cult, just like Obamabots.

Because they are “bat-guano-crazy”.

Ron Paul is the American Khadaffy.

You are criticizing Paul for not quitting. I think my comment was apt.

Perry supporters (on here at least) are also extremely touchy.

Oh Christ...look...if all you say is “Ron Paul is a nutter” w/o citing any reason to back it up, I think you’re an asshole. Does this help all of you?

I have never said Paul was a nutter, I have said he is dangerous and delusional.
I may be an a$$hole, but that has nothing to do with Paul’s delusions.
The point being again is that people post Paul musings all of the time, you must have just missed them.

I haven’t missed them ...at all. I’ve said he’s as dangerous a candidate I’ve seen on this forum. I’m simply saying that the Paulies get touchy because so many people call the man a nut and leave it at that. Perhaps...just perhaps...if more people took the time to say, “I think he’s a nut because he believes Iran has the right to close the Strait of Hormuz in response to economic sanctions.” Or
“I think he’s a racist because he published a newsletter stating all young black males are fast” It might make the Paulites less reactionary and force them to do somehting other than saying “You’re a nut because you support the Reblocrats...”

maybe I’m just tired of this site...

And I wasn’t calling you specificaly an asshole...thatg was intemperate of me. sorry...
