I have been as harsh a critic of Ron Paul as anyone here on FR, but I have to say that based upon this statement alone, I am impressed with what he is saying.
Congressman Duncan Hunter is still my preferred candidate and will remain so, but I won’t be engaging in any more Paul-bashing.
Whether or not Paul is a viable candidate for President isn’t the issue. The principles and beliefs that he has proclaimed as his own in this statement are more than sufficient for me to take a ‘wait and see’ approach and I have to reverse myself and say that I think he should be included in every future presidential debate, and his ideas should be discussed.
And yes, I am sober.
heh you beat me by a minute!
I agree and think we make a grave mistake if we just shun this guy - I too am inspired by many of his ideas and convictions. Would that any of the other politicians had is spine. At least with Paul, you know where he stands and with the exception of his position on the WOT, I find it hard to disagree with him on many things related to smaller government. I just wish it was someone else making the case.
Having said that, I too am Hunter supporter and continue to believe he has the right message for the time.
I agree, and I tend to think that he has given more thought to his ideas than most candidates have, and I tend to think his are based more on principal than on what he thinks people want to hear.
Agree.
Neither will I vote for that guy who isn't running.;^)
