R911, let's not stoop to their level - we're (you're) better than that. I know from your freepmail that you're getting frustrated with our detractors here at FR, but remember, Paul's opponents have to resort to personal attacks and insults, because that's all they got. We're backing the best man for the job. Let's advocate him in the manner that he would want us to.
jmc813, I hope your guy stays in - he's the best guy running who's name ain't Ron Paul, and he's still got a much better chance of getting the nomination than Paul does. But if he does drop out, please consider Dr. Paul. Do some real research into the man, his policies and ideas... you may disagree with some, but remember, all of the other candidates will take us further down the same path this country has been on for a good while now. Fred may go a little slower than hillary, but the destination will be the same. Do you really want that?
It takes an enormous, expensive and intrusive government to fight, occupy and police the planet. I do not believe that we can be a free people with that kind of power concentrated in DC. So I ask myself, "are a bunch of 7th century goat-herding cult members really a bigger threat to my life, liberty and property than the fedgov is?" The answer I come up with is no (actually, hell no!).
Government must be brought back under control in this country, or it's finished. That thinking lead me right to the good Doctor. I hope it leads you to him too.
No need to consider, I'm already there. I've been a fan of his for years, but disagreed with him too much on foreign policy for him to be higher than my #4 guy when the GOP race started, behind Fred, Hunter and Tancredo. Now that they're all out, Ron's my man. If he drops, jmc goes third-party.
