Some people are incapable of a logical train of thought in a debate, ususally because their biases coming into a debate are so strong, they are incapable of it. An example would be religious threads, and, here, the religion of “anyone who does not agreee 100% with W is a traitor”.

As others have said, it is astonishing to find people who claim to be in favor of a free, constitutional republic blindly dismissing out of hand a person who in many ways consistently votes for limited government and individual liberty.

I am willing to give, and have often given, President Bush the benefit of the doubt on many matters, but I am not about to dismiss Ron Paul as a “kook” simply because he questions the manner in which we’ve meddled in world affairs beyond usefulness in certain places.

Not exactly. I would say, though, that anyone who doesn't agree with W's mission to defend America is, indeed, a traitor. That includes lilly-livered dopers like Ron Paul. I mean, seriously, is that all the liberaltarians can throw at America? A blame-America-first dope smoker?
