Nothing like a little Ron Paul in the afternoon to stir up the bushbots and pubbie True Believers. In reading through the posts, it's almost like someone recorded their talking points for them and they just cough them up on cue. They never respond rationally, they just keep repeating the same things over and over again.
I can't usually get past fifty posts of that sort before I have to go do something else for a while. I don't know whether to congratulate you, OrthodoxPresbyterian, or feel sorry for you. Anyway, your perseverance is exemplary.
You mean as OrthodoxPresbyterian was doing post, after post, after post...
Make fun of us who disagree with your libertarian/leftist agenda. The simple fact of the matter is that Ron Paul's vote siding with the Democrats in their non-binding resolution on Iraq took him out of the Presidential race once-and-for-all. Blabber and postulate all you want. There are far more here on FR that are disgusted by the 17 who voted with the Dems than will accept nuanced explanations such as Paul's, and yours. And you've lost us forever. Period. Paragraph. End of story.
Enjoy your ping list. You're whistling past the graveyard.
Let me second NCSteve's praise. You are fighting a lonely but effective fight here.
I'm not a bushbot, I've voted for Ron Paul. But his abandonment of good Iraqi MPs like this one really irks me;

Then you have this wild accuastion thrown out;
"Iraqi Government is now a Government dominated by convicted Islamic Terrorists"
I found one Iraqi MP who is a convicted terrorist.
If you know of more list them, should be easy to come up with more than one if convicted Iaslmic Terrorists really do "dominate" the Iraqi government.
"Defending" Ron Paul's abandonment of good Iraqis with over the top accusations like "the Iraqi Government is now a Government dominated by convicted Islamic Terrorists" isn't doing the cause of Ron Paul for President any good at all.
"Anyway, your perseverance is exemplary."
Accuracy however is another matter.
What good is perseverance without accuracy?
Let's have the list of the convicted terrorists dominating the Iraqi government please.
Let me second NCSteve's praise. You are fighting a lonely but effective fight here.
Not so lonely, gentlemen. Not so lonely.
In one day, counting GRPPL sign-ups on the thread and by FReepMail, I have already nearly-doubled the list of FReepers who have signed on to the Ron Paul supporter list we started in the Religion Forum.
In one day.
One of the great things about Rudy, McCain, and Romney all being in the race is... liberal Republicans have three condidates to choose from. Three candidates to split the liberal and "moderate" GOP vote. Whereas Ron Paul supporters might also like Tancredo or Hunter, we know that our guy is the guy, number #1 with a bullet, for Constitutionalists.
