I actually wish I had voted for him instead of McLame. I voted against Obama and for Sarah, but to do it, I had to vote for Lame.

If Sarah Palin runs, I will proudly vote for her, but I am not voting for any more RINOs because they might have a chance to beat the greater of two evils.

I mourned when Obama won. Yes, Lame wouldn’t have done as much damage as the Marxist is doing, but he still would have been a socialist wrecking ball.

I didn’t like some of Ron Paul’s views. I do believe that the Iraq war was necessary. I do like his desire for fiscal restraint and smaller government.

Either his voice was too “high and whiny”, or they viewed his position on America’s foreign policy to be “wacko” and “crazy”. The going phrase at the time, and still today, is that Ron Paul is a politician who is living “on the fringe”. He was not “mainstream” enough to win over much of the concerned voting public.

As a conservative I can respond to the questioning of why people didn't vote for Paul. I think he's insane. That doesn't mean he's wrong on everything. In fact, he's correct in a number of areas, but he's only just this side of Gore sanity wise.

Ron Paul is a pipsqueak. Ron Paul is a gnat.

We’ve got our great leader. We’ve got our Ronald Reagan. She’s come down from the north to roll up her sleeves and work with us to roll back the tide of communism sweeping our land.

If citizen Ron Paul wants to roll up his sleeves and contribute, I say three cheers for Ron Paul and his supporters.

But if pipsqueak Ron Paul has delusions of grandeur and delusions of leadership, I say go to hell, Ron Paul. Go to hell.

Didn’t Ron Paul blame our “occupation around the world” for the terrorist attack on Christmas.

Enough said. The guy’s a loon.

As far as I know our policy hasn't changed.

As far as our official policy on Ron Paul is concerned, it's the same policy we have for his antiwar moonbat allies the traitors Harry Reid, Chuckie Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Jack Murtha, Cindy Sheehan, Barbara Streisand, Jane Fonda, CodePink, International Answer, et al and their flaming antiwar spam monkeys. Ron Paul and his flaming antiwar spam monkeys can Kiss my Ass!!

Where the hell did you guys ever get the idea that enemy supporting antiwar moonbats would be welcome on FR?

That plain enough for you or do I need to spell it out?

It is amazing to me how 90+% of the GOP is anything but ‘conservative’ yet because they call themselves republican and support the war well then by golly I support them too even though almost everything they stand for is antithetical to our long term survival as a people and an as a nation.

Just a day ago Ron Paul said that the terrorist attack was because America is an occupier.

Sorry, this man is a fringe TOO far.

Just what country were we occupying on 9/11

Does Paul believe that attacks on America are ‘chickens coming home to roost’

It may be because I've lost all faith in the political system but, I didn't find her to be as forthcoming and original as before.

Sounded like any other pol, saying what they think we want to hear.

Not trying to squash others enthusiasm but, she doesn't do it for me.

RON PAUL

TRAITOR TO REPUBLICAN PARTY IN 2008 BY TOYING THE IDEA OF CONSIDERING VOTING FOR TEH ONE, OBAMA.

PAUL NEVER CONCEDED TO MCCAIN.

RECENT WACKO JOB? THAT STUPID REMARK ABOUT US AS OCCUPIER?????????

COMMON, GUYS.

I believe in Paul’s fight against the monstrosity of the Fed. But there is a huge character flaw on the old man.

To Rand Paul:

It’s about time to clearly disassociate (be independent) yourself from your father. STAND ON YOUR OWN. You’re the better Paul.

Many of the old Rs are either RINO, corrupt*, no-good old boys ... and/or wacko. GEESH!!!!!!!!!! VOTE FOR NEW AND YOUNG REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES!!!!!!!

*Relatively, the Ds are the Demons.

Well, your certainly entitled to your opinion. I think you are absolutely wrong and everything I’ve seen from Palin I see Reagan quality.

Very well said, highlander. And spot-on accurate.

I gave Ron Paul a glance. If you can’t see right through him and tell he is a crackpot within 20 minutes - you are a crackpot also.

Note: even a broken clock is right twice a day and Ron Paul’s admirers keep pointing to those two times each day as the reason he is the best candidate.....

Go figure.

That’s cool. I might even have a change of heart down the road.
