'Nuff said. SPAM
Doing better than I would. Couldn’t recognize him in a crowd of one.
The recognition came when the third amendment turned around the first amendment and said, “Hey, Isn’t that that Ron Paul wacko guy?
I recognize him, too, as a cut-and-run peacecreep, pseudo-John Bircher with a bag of crackpot ideas that would never fly, even if the loony lottery of life landed him somehow in the white house.
He supports our Constitutional Rights - Second Amendment - to keep and bear arms, more reliably than any other candidate. If that's "demented," then give me demented.
Like Reagan once argued, Paul wants to get rid of the US Department of Education. Some "demented."
He also wants to do away with the IRS - in stark contrast to Rudy, who said we'll never do away with the income tax. I'll take Ron Paul's "dementia" over Rudy's statism any day, thanks.
It's a sad day when "conservative" Freerepublic people consider gun rights a "wacko" issue. This is a sign of how George Bush has redefined "conservatism" to mean what liberalism used to mean - big government, big spending, big deficits, big debt, diminished constitutional rights.
Fred Thompson wins state Republican straw poll (Ohio!)
Buckeye Firearms News ^ | September 28, 2007
The Hannah Report is covering news that the Ohio Republican Party released the results of its recent straw poll for the 2008 presidential primary showing the pro-gun former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson leading the anti-gun former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
In the poll, Thompson received 33 percent, Giuliani received 24 percent, former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney received 17 percent, U.S. Sen. John McCain received 11 percent, former Ark. Gov. Mike Huckabee seven percent, U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback four percent, followed by Duncan Hunter with two percent, Ron Paul one percent, and Tom Tancredo one percent.
Nearly 2,300 Republicans cast a vote in the party’s straw poll. “Ohio historically plays a central and often deciding role in choosing the next president, but we wanted to give voters here a voice in the primary process as well,” said Ohio Republican Party Deputy Chairman Kevin DeWine in a statement.

The decision now lies with some lowly staffer as to whether or not to wake him and let him know now or wait until after sleepy-time is over.
It's in a word.........
Anemic.
That must be why he’s second in most polls and first in all the Southern states, huh? LOL
Ron Paul stood in front of a patriotic field of white stars on a blue backdrop and told Fox News correspondent Wendell Goler that the attacks of 9/11 occurred primarily as a response to U.S. foreign policy over the past few decades. "Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us?" he asked incredulously. "They attacked us because we've been over there. We've been bombing Iraq for ten years!"When Goler asked for clarification that the United States invited the 9/11 attacks, Paul, with his arms folded, replied coolly, "I'm suggesting that we listen to the people who attacked us and the reasons they did it...."
...
Paul was unbowed in the second Republican debate last week, using the word "empire" to describe American engagements abroad...
...
...he also voted against the Patriot Act...
...Many Democrats have taken notice of Paul, an unlikely ally across the aisle. Earlier this year, Paul joined with Democrats John Murtha of Pennsylvania, Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii, and John Larson of Connecticut, among others, to co-sponsor a resolution that would require the president to seek specific authorization before initiating military force in Iran. Dennis Kucinich, who is running for president and couldn't be further from Paul on most issues, told me, "Paul has true integrity. His word is good and he has the courage of his convictions."
Representative Abercrombie also could not speak highly enough of Paul. "He's a legislator's legislator," Abercrombie said. "He's an intellectual at heart; he is just the real thing without the slightest bit of pretense or condescension." Last week, Abercrombie and Paul teamed up again to introduce a resolution that stipulates a sunset for the president's authority in Iraq. According to Abercrombie, it was Paul's idea to force a re-authorization for the war in Congress, which would render all of the political rhetoric and smokescreens about timetables moot. (end quotes)
Ron Paul--The Republican Murtha and Kucinich Love!
Yeah, what the hell, let's go with ol' sleepy head.
They used this same “lazy, sleepy, old, tired, disinterested, geezer, stupid” meme against President Ronald Reagan. What is your opinion of him?
Please tell me that you're not attempting to equate Fred Thompson with Ronald Reagan.
on a t-shirt, Who is this man - and why is he trying to save my country?
Great t-shirt, got to get one.

I knew President Reagan (see my profile) and many things about Senator Fred Thompson remind me of him. Are they the same? Of course not! Will a “President Thompson” govern along the same lines as President Reagan? Absolutely, IMO.
